Stickarts posted:Rolling up your window and turning off your air when passing a car on grid roads. Cowboy boots and hats and belt buckles the size of a child's head at weddings. Country music in the bars in front of dimly-lit flat rye and cokes. Towns shutting down at 7:00 pm. Knowing what your neighbour had for breakfast. Lawn care. Barbecues. ATVs and Gators. Sledding in the winter. Fishing and throwing your bottles over the side. Millenial rural life is stocking up on loose leaf tea when visiting family over the holidays because the only place near you is 115km away, doesn't open on weekends, and closes before you can make it there after work.

They're dramatic pauses. It makes more sense if you imagine it's the scene in the second act where the vigilante explains to the rookie cop why his revenge quest is righteous.

The Guardian did a story about what it was like when a Walmart left the poorest county in the United States and it included this gem which I think stands in for a lot of rural culture in both countries:quote:For Dan Phillips, Walmart was a way of coping with bereavement after his wife died a few years ago. “If you were lonely and had nothing to do, you’d go to Walmart to talk to folk. It was a great social network.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jul/09/what-happened-when-walmart-left For the record, most other people in the article were sad because they lost their nearby source of fresh produce, or lost their job. This guy was sad because he lost the place where he bought his 141st gun for nearly a thousand dollars.

The amount of ammo that you would need to actually use 141 guns is insane.

It's not like you can shoot all your guns at the same time. Unless you combine all your guns into one super gun like Moe on the Simpsons.

the trump tutelage posted:He's sad that he lost a social outlet you doofus. Yes, that's obvious. That he thought the best way to illustrate the loss of his social outlet was by showing off his 141st firearm which he purchased in a Walmart parking lot is insane.

I often wave my firearms around during long-winded rants about bereavement and growing sense of social isolation. The only sad part of that article was the word 'schoolteacher'.

Statistically isn't he more likely to use one of his 141 firearms for this hypothetical suicide?

I have a 3h 40m layover then I'm flying to the States so I'm thinking like a park I can relax in or a restaurant that serves alcohol at 10:30am, this will be my first time in actual Vancouver so I feel like I should see some wood-frame condos or something.

Don't gently caress around with the US transfer. You have to clear customs and that can take forever if you don't have Nexus.

Wave your gun around at the airport while ranting about how you feel aimless and really just don't know what to do with yourself. Then livestream that poo poo, please.

The only reason anyone should ever go to a casino ever is if they're going by grand beach casino on their way back from fishing because the buffet is cheap and 24 hours.

Yeah that's not enough time to go do anything interesting in the city proper, especially since you have to deal with US customs at the airport. The good news is that YVR is one of the nicest airports in North America - surf some internet, buy some poo poo you dont need, stare at the aquarium for a while, play some practical jokes on the affable CBSA staff, relish in the thought that you're currently kicking back in the airport of the Best Place On Earth.

I know the mega mall in Twasassen isn't doing too well. I'm sure it's an indicator of something that home prices are through the roof but commercial is struggling to get by
