Guigui posted:Does anyone recall a show on TV Ontario - it had a boot, a woman's shoe, an elderly grandma puppet, and this monster-like puppet called "thing" (which used to give me horrible nightmares). It found a video on youtube long ago but lost the link. I want to see that monster puppet again. I think it was filmed in the 1970's and was on TV before Today's Special and Fables of the green forest. (Had the same kind of creepy vibe to it as "Read all about it). Readalong? Edit: Maybe this will bring back some traumatic memories for you. https://youtu.be/WeJCAZ21kGQ Also this is some creepy poo poo that would set off so many conspiracy loon parents today. https://youtu.be/fnYQ8sdfpoc Normy has issued a correction as of 15:55 on May 9, 2021 |

Does stuff filmed in BC count as cancon cause if so the X-Files, Stargate SG-1 and Battlestar Galactica were rad. Any sci-fi show that uses SFU as an alien planet is ok in my book.

The best dunes around are on the central coast of Oregon - their main claim to fame is having inspired the book Dune.

I remember they took over the whole school filming the keanu reeves day the earth stood still and kept running classes normally. I was trying to write a term paper in my room in residence and they were just hovering military helicopters around for a few hours. there was truly no limit on how disruptive a film shoot could be as long as the school was getting paid.

Sounds like more CHURCH is in order EDIT: So not too much shitposting by me: I have a friend who last year thought COVID was no big deal, then the goalposts moved to that this was a fear based thing by governments, then the goalposts moved to masks don't do anything, then the goalposts moved to the vaccines are horrible and poisonous and now...now he has a rifle and is getting it all sighted and perfect, practicing target shooting and survival poo poo because the government is going to be overthrown. I don't have the heart to tell him not only is that not going to happen, if it did he would be on the wrong side of history and strung up with the rest. I love having to keep an eye on him now for the day when I have to tip the RCMP that he's about to shoot peop--oh wait, he's white, that won't help.

Varies by provincial restrictions and the CFO, there have been occasional firearm safety classes run depending on the stage of restrictions with limited class sizes. I know in Alberta there have been some limited CFSC classes done. I saw a photo of a CFSC class done during Covid, (normally about 20 people max I think per instructor in normal times) this one had I think 8 people all masked up. Someone could have done the classes before Covid, and just recently got a license due to the backlog delay/slowdown at the CFO and Registrars office in issuing licenses.

Could also be an illegal gun with no firearms licence. I mean, if youre convinced youre gonna overthrow a tyrannical government with a rifle I doubt youre particularly concerned with getting all the paperwork right.

Oh he has had it for years. Used to do the "sport" where you run around with a pistol and shoot targets and poo poo. He just let that hobby of rifle and gun ownership go away for a few years. Now it's back baby! He does jogs with his rifle and survival backpack to get used to it. I wonder what happens in five years when nothing happens according to his timeframe...

The loving isolationist gun nuts are always what get me about preppers. If you want to survive an apocalypse be useful and chill. Create a network of mutual aid before poo poo goes down then leverage that network when poo poo goes down. Its like society/survival 101.

The hardcore right-wing preppers die in the first month because they broke their ankle and/or got an infection and/or diarrhea'd too hard. Meanwhile the "snowflakes" they hate would be building little communities and thriving. Just look at the aid stations that were set up during the bigger protests in the US.

I've booked my appointment for getting the vaccine in Manitoba. Our system isn't as much of a chucklefuck of clusterfucks as it is in Ontario, right? I can go to my appointment and actually expect to get the shot? End of May, but I can't complain, I'm at least getting a shot finally.

Congrats to everybody for getting their shots. How have side effects been for those who had them already? For me, I had a fever and body aches and a bit of a headache for like 6 hours later in the day after I had the AZ vaccine.
