I understand perfectly what you are attempting to do, and I think the conversation I'm attempting to have with you is less meaningless than that. But if you're not interested, neither am I.

I know this is not a big deal, but I'm not really comfortable with the idea of aestheticizing and decontextualizing a form of communication you don't understand in order to project your own meaning onto it. To me this is the equivalent of (for example) when people who don't understand Chinese say th...

I'm determined to keep this forum updated on the avian menace that continues to threaten the prairies https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/canada-geese-claim-downtown-edmonton-corner-1.4972032 EDMONTON -- A pair of feathered friends have been making their presence known in downtown Edmonton this week.

I don't understand sign language either but I think the facial expressions are part of the communication and can change the meaning of the signs. I have been watching the provincial COVID-19 updates which also have sign language interpretation and the interpreter is similarly animated. I like the id...

Is this video supposed to have sound?

I am realizing this is all an outgrowth of one of my dilettantish historical obsessions (I'm a half-historian with wide ranging interests I don't have the archival skills to really pursue) which is basically bathroom etiquette in the upper class societies of 18th- and 19th-century Europe. Because n...

i honestly have no idea about actually using a bidet so don't really have anything constructive to add, but the "Bidet vs. TP" debate is one of the clearest examples you can use to illustrate how people can develop passionate opinions about the supposed value of arbitrary cultural habits e...

Twitter doom-scrolling. I've been doing a lot of this. Even though my protesting days are (long) behind me, I am still regretting feeling so disconnected from the places where any of this is actually happening. It's a hard feeling to describe, not homesickness just like... a feeling of absence? I d...

Evan.V.N.S.J.

also reminds me of The Royal Tennenbaums, even though I'm pretty sure it's not that!

is that max von sydow? is that a hint for anyone?

Evan.V.N.S.J.

That's awesome. I am ashamed to admit I only found this through random Spotify recommendations after listening to hours of chill Ryuichi Sakamoto beats to study and relax to, but it blew me away

I just got a very incredible email from my mom, who has apparently been doing some genealogical research, that was this single line: Hi Ev, this is the ancestor born in Scotland who immigrated to Canada. He died in Montreal in 1902. with a picture attached. I really wish these were the only kind of ...

Wish I knew it! Unrelated, but related to a few movies back: we just watched CHERRY 2000 and really loved it. Anyone who wants the file let me know! Kind of a high-camp B-Hollywood mashup of Stalker (there’s even a Zone!), Mad Max, the most recent Blade Runner movie, and, like, Earth Girls Are Easy...

I have no idea what made me think of this movie but... I miss it?

I'm on board these rules and I also enjoy that the only way to get punished for breaking them is to admit your own violation here's my challenge: https://i.imgur.com/euexs4g.png I'm including it twice because it looks cool as hell dithered but if I only put that it would be misleading Screen Shot 20...

I found it out by "Cheating" based on my robot knowledge, but wanted to give others time to guess by legitimate means

Is it CHERRY 2000?

I confess I have not seen this movie. It does look veery rad though

I have to do an elaborate psychic preparation to teach online I want to know your coping strategies! Oh gosh if I had a routine that I felt really worked I would definitely share it. I mostly just obsessively look at my notes. One thing that does put my mind at rest a bit is just to like, meticulou...

Do you get that night terror thing where you’re semi-conscious but your body is totally frozen? Happens to me when I’m VERY exhausted, like after a long flight. This used to happen to me a lot, but for some reason hasn't recently. I think it's called sleep paralysis? It's really scary, especially w...

I have to do an elaborate psychic preparation to teach online but in terms of physical stuff I basically just close my closet and point the computer away from the moving box that I have not finished unpacking for like 6 months

The best Smashing Pumpkins song is on that Singles soundtrack.

i made The Good Potatoes tonight, and they were indeed good!

Used five spice seasoning plus garlic and ginger infused oil which I believe was a good call

Aquaman is ... weirdly... kind of worth watching I think? Especially if you are a Joel Schumacher fan hahaha. It is one of the only contemporary superhero movies that seems willing to indulge the obvious influences of like, professional wrestling and power rangers-style shows on superhero stuff. I k...

Evan.V.N.S.J.

It looks like Patrick Wilson but despite him being underwater a lot in that movie I don't think it's Aquaman

Does he go underwater in the Phantom of the Opera movie?

Evan.V.N.S.J.

Ahahahah that was fast

You got it!

I saw a bunch of canada geese with their lil babies down by the river today on a nice walk, I tried to get a picture but the babies it turns out are very well camouflaged among dry grass

Sorry for poor quality

I confess to having done a small amount of sleuthing on this one but I believe it is Steven Spielberg's "Duel"

It's kind of like a "deconstructed" version of that okayu recipe! Just like a rice, a soup, and then tons of little pickly/oceanic things to put on top as you see fit

and then probably a sad toast / jam / pb set up as a concession to the international crowd

@Evan.V.N.S.J. Nice book, nerd.

it's a good book!

the fun thing about reading books in the 21st century is that reading a book made out of paper (instead of one on a screen) feels like a real indulgence

Did I tell anyone here about how we now live about 20 feet from where we used to live? There is a long and depressing saga about how we got here, but I'll save it for another time.

We have become really attuned to the various animals that wander through the front yard of our condo building, the cats are also transfixed and terrified by them especially when it's another cat.

This movie is fantastic. It’s about a child who was raised in the evangelical church to be a tiny boy pastor by his fervently religious/ruthless capitalist parents. He was a religious novelty in his youth and even conducted wedding ceremonies when he was six. this is a very brain-dead response to t...

But wait what was the specific MCG in this case? Was it the SERIOUS EATS recipe? If it was, I think actually I did try that one before and it worked... PRETTY GOOD
