  • It’s not JUST for thier base.

    For anyone pondering joining such actions, these would be leaders.

    If you’re thinking of joining, and the leaders look “weak”, it might not inspire much faith. You might decide to hold back.

    The truth is, she looked calm and collected, confident in her decisions and actions. She looks like a leader. She looks like someone worth following. That type of imagery is dangerous if you’re trying to suppress action.

    So, in short, it’s an attempt at active suppression, not just a “treat” for thier own. It’s the modern equivalent of going on about how short Napoleon is. It’s an attempt to diminish those they’re afraid of to try and keep others from following them.



  • I had the opportunity to experience a masterclass in how to handle extreme weather events in Saskatchewan.

    -Bundle the fuck up

    -Check on / help your neighbours

    -If you see someone stuck in thier vehicle help them for God’s sake.

    In terms of unstucking a vehicle, the trick is to “rock it” out. Once you even get a little bit of motion, you’re in a better spot. If you are bring pushed, or are pushing, make sure the driver’s window is open for communication. When pushing, still be thinking about the task as rocking out. You push and they apply (a little) gas, till they hit the limit. Let them roll back after, then coordinate another push.



  • Businesses in general bend over backwards to create an environment in which I will be comfortable. Music, decor, etc. I’m in the prime money-spending age bracket. It’s very comfortable to be prioritized. I think the vast majority just a accept it as the natural order of things to have the world revolving around your taste. The boomers got and extended run based on thier outsized share of wealth, but it’s over now.

    I don’t think gen x even ever got that moment in history, which is so funny and sad at the same time… such a predictable curse…

    I don’t think many people really get that it’s just a statistical thing. Nobody gives a shit about ME. I’m not special. I’m just currently in that demographic.

    Assuming time is linear, this will change. Younger people will be in my position, and the environments will mould and shape to thier sensibilities, and I’ll be left in the dust.

    I think if people are unaware of that reality… it’s probably really jarring to be pushed aside, even in really small ways. I expect it all adds up.
