Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I think it has a lot to do with the climate you live in as well. I know I kinda dislike winter because heating a house in -40 degree weather is expensive, and having to throw on a parka and boots just to throw some garbage in the outdoor bin sucks. Can't open windows to air out the house, can't barbecue. Probably my least favourite part is the sun is only up for like 2 hours a day, leading to some wicked seasonal affective disorder.

Jessikah is Canadian-Canadian

Most (like 90%) of the Canadian population lives within hours of the US border where it’s warm as hell, so we snowflakes call them faux-Canadians

When someone says "Canada", most people think of Toronto, Ontario. But Toronto is practically a USA city both in terms of location and atmosphere. It's not even all that cold, and they famously called in the National Guard when it snowed because they didn't have the means to deal with it.

The prairies on the other hand are probably more what you're actually picturing when you hear the name Canada: snowy, cold, impossibly flat. Like half of our provincial budget goes to keeping the streets clear of snow, yet they usually blow past that budget before the New Year.

Overwatch 2 recently stated they have 25 million players, which is complete nonsense.

So tired of companies making up BS claims about how many tens of millions of players their games have when it's blatantly obvious they don't have anywhere near that.

Overwatch 2 recently stated they have 25 million players, which is complete nonsense. All they did was convert the Overwatch 1 database of 6 years of players to Overwatch 2 and made all PC accounts active in the database for 1 second to class them as active. This way they are technically being truthful.

I would be amazed if even 1% of the actual Overwatch 1 lifetime players are playing 2, if not for the console account limitation of consoles having to be manually linked they would of said they had 100 million players at launch (they could only auto link pc accounts)

They also love to pretend that every player that has ever tried a game is forever active and never leaves, which again is rubbish. The vast majority of "players" quit in the first 10-20 minutes, never to return but will forever after be counted as a "player" just the same.

i am waiting another 40 years for another Breath of fire game Copium. the last 30 seconds pog

2 types of math people left in this world- those who know how to use numbers to do what they want, and those who think numbers never lie. Makes for one helluva easy tactic to use on the foolish/trusting.

I still love it when an ad says something like "Our hamburger patties are made with 100% beef!"

Like, no kidding. That implies that one of your ingredients is beef. What are the other ingredients? Even if I was somehow so unaware of the English language to think you meant "made 100% out of beef", that wouldn't make sense because surely there's some salt and pepper in there, likely a bit of egg to hold it all together.

That fact tells me nothing about how much of the patty is actually made out of meat. It could still be 99% filler for all that tells me.

Hardly non stop action. Are the graphics supposed to make up for it?
