Yes, and I have every intention to change it, when I manage to refocus myself next week.

I KNOW I said that last week, but I got distracted, I won't next week. Definitely.

Look again at the legend for the map

I swear it sounds like I am being told to press "douche" instead of "deux" half the time.

Most annoying is when you have to call a Quebec business, and they have a 5 minute recording in French followed by "for English, press 3"... Especially when they also say that in French.

It's probably still cheaper in Sweden than it is in Canada with coverage.

Between my government coverage and workplace private coverage, I still have to pay $100 for the eye exam, and I am blind enough that I have to be choosy with frames or I go over the 2 year limit on cost for my glasses (lenses alone cost >$200 before I add coatings, and I only have $500/2yr in coverage for frames, lenses and contacts put together).

Funnily enough, Canada only (partially) pays for vision tests every second year, even with private healthcare, so I have never gotten a yearly eye exam.

Hi, millennial here. Do you know why some millennials and a large portion of gen z suck at reading? Because their boomer/gen x parents didn't read to them as a child.

I grew up on my grandmother's lap, with her actively making reading fun and encouraging me to read along - I was reading, and comprehending, YA novels by grade 2.

My little brother though, who did not have a parent/grandparent to teach them to love reading, can't read worth shit. He was well into highschool before he even attempted a book like animorphs, and still didn't really comprehend the plot any better than grade 2 me.

So no, this is not a generational/phones bad problem, it's just another example of how boomers and gen x let their children down when it came to raising them with life skills, and then making fun of them for it.

My bank forces a 6 digit PIN as a password.

Their 2fa is also email or text only.

At least we can set a unique username?

86 is a restaurant term, basically meaning that there is no more of a dish.

46 in this context is the 46th president of the united states.

And for a serious response on shell pattern, its referencing shotgun shells; if you are using birdshot, you get a very spread out pattern of impact points, with buckshot it would be a tight grouping of impact points (shotgun shells are packed with metal BB's instead of a single, larger chunk of metal).

6'1 and similar. I cannot ride in a Toyota, regardless of the size of it.

My head is out the sunroof in a 2012 sequoia, and those things are bigger than a small truck.

Nah, huge boobs limit cosplay options far more than small ones - there are tricks to increase visual size, but decreasing is a lot more difficult and can cause discomfort or injury if done wrong.

Currently Souls Remnant, though only the lowest tier because I am broke
