@mindoverdata @robiwan4s No, he's just willing to starve it of funding until it dies on its own

The fact that the 401, 400, DVP, QEW, Gardiner (and many more) are regularly a bump-to-bumper standstill, and that none of them have bike lanes, should make it clear that bike lanes and bicycles are not the problem.

And honestly, the closest I ever want to get 😂

I might be coming down with a cold, I’ve been lying in bed all day. The good news is that I have brand new sheets that I just put on the bed yesterday. The bad news is that my cat just barfed on them as well as on my leg. I now know .0001% of what it must be like to raise a kid

I only actually liked this format once I finally understood and accepted this ethos

Are there instructions of how to remove a 1 inch diameter cylinder from its hand if it gets stuck holding the cylinder?

"Hey hon, can you ask your date from last night what hair dye she's using?"
*Partner visibly confused*
"There's a hair in your beard that is clearly hers because it's the shade of blue I've been trying to replicate and I MUST KNOW HER SECRETS!"

@jaapyft @LinkofSunshine Name a feeling better than seeing a guest leave your home satisfied. Having slept well, full of good food, entertained, smiling, encouraged, having enjoyed whatever substances you both agree to responsibly. Whatever fills them.

There is no better feeling.

@KellyLMcCarty @realRickBlame @PicturesFoIder 🤣 "Countries have never cheated in the Olympics before" 🤣

[MerlotMage @MerlotMage]

@SatyamInsights @PicturesFoIder Oh, they deserve it. But Fox News first. They opened up an entire additional channel of barely/never online people who wouldn't and shouldn't have seen the online harassment. But they did, and it made offline harassment 100x worse.

[MerlotMage @MerlotMage]

@joachimnijs @RM_Transit Definitely. It's so hard - TO is decades behind where it could/should be. To get up to speed now requires far more disruption than it ever would have with proactive policy and sustained progress.

Now we choose: catastrophic maintenance, or accept a dying system.

[MerlotMage @MerlotMage]

@PlanetOfMemes @harris_wins That sounds like inflation?

@c0mput3r_V1ru5 @alexinquotes I was on this regimen for unrelated specific phobia, but I DID experience a remarkable improvement in this phenomenon as well. (Asking ~12x/day -> rephrased to a similar question 3x/week)

It's absolutely the time it gives you to use other techniques, generally ones from therapy

@coL_Amazonian My partner: "I'm into this! What, what rarity is it?"
Me: "Uncommon"
Him: "Oh *bleght puht* no!"

"Better download my sleep audio now - there's no wifi to stream it on the cross-country overnight train!"

"Sweetheart ... Your default sleep audio is called "Midnight Sleepy Train Sounds" ... What do you think you're missing exactly?"

[MerlotMage @MerlotMage]

@_lizharvey Yes, and? "You can get a beat on someone's rough age by how they type is" ... Just not an interesting statement. Sociolinguistics is something we all do on some level.
"But it's cringe" just speaks to a willingness to buy into generational squabbling which I think is unhelpful

[MerlotMage @MerlotMage]

@ManaCurves I will be sending this photo to my partner. By comparison, my hoard looks downright acceptable! Thanks for getting me out of the doghouse 🤣

[MerlotMage @MerlotMage]

@not_a_heather Would make sense. Someone who lives off paid non-labor would also be the type to rely on non -paid labor
