Immigration Canada: “Prove to us that your marriage is genuine. Prove that it wasn’t for immigration purposes.”
My wife and I: “You sure you want that?”
Immigration Canada: “Make with the proof.”
My wife and I: 400 pages, front and back, of Skype call logs/timestamps. A fucking literal ream of paper

There was so much magic in this game. That soundtrack and overall atmosphere was incredible. I remember trying it in little bite-sized pieces at Toys R Us and the McDonald’s lobby and being really blown away.

I maintain that if drug-sniffing dogs actually knew what it was that they were doing, none of them would be drug-sniffing dogs.

Holy shit. That’s too big to wrap my head around. What if we tried those yellow Blue Bird school busses?

I fucked my wife in the bathroom window of the Hyatt in Calgary, in front of a beautiful, sprawling downtown core. The trick was to leave the lights off inside the room.

When I was a kid my dad told me not to fuck with the insulation. I fucked with the insulation. I should not have fucked with the insulation.

Oof, I get it, though… The difference between warm white and cool white is enough to make me want to die. I personally have a soul and enjoy being alive, so I prefer warm white myself.

I have a debilitatingly shy bladder in public washrooms, and I don’t know if pissing loud as fuck would be boon or a curse.

As a career produce manager I can confirm that we average about a Spock per minute. Usually elderly, and determined to destroy this year’s crop of peaches from BC.

Whenever I book flowers for work, there is one at the very bottom called “Flowering Planter 7in Ass”. For years now I’ve laughed every time.

- Comment on Mario 64 Speedrunning Declared "Dead" After Insane Feat From "The Greatest Speedrunner Of All Time" | Time Extension 3 months ago:
I can’t fully articulate the reasons why, but I dislike the entire speed-running culture. I’ve always been someone who sinks as deeply as I possibly can into the environments that games provide, placing a lot of value on carefully crafted details, flora, object clutter and ambience.
Speed-running is essentially the exact opposite of this, and it takes what was intended to be an enjoyable escape and gamifies it beyond recognition. It becomes a sweaty, disgusting mess of button mashing, sprinting, wall-glitching, exploitation, and a bastardization of mechanics. I definitely get why some people find this interesting, but I just can’t find the off-switch for how much I hate watching it. It’s in a similar ballpark as extreme min-maxing in modern MMOs, where people get so addicted to arbitrarily raising numbers by the smallest margin that the game itself just evaporates into the background.

It can, but it comes out more like “ROOVE ARONG RITIZEN!”

Whang talking about some guy peeling the skin off of his own penis and feeding it to a dog or something.
- Comment on Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? 3 months ago:
That’s exactly what drove me into seeking out Lemmy instead. I hopped on Mastodon and it made me feel like I was being coralled into following some niche hobby forum exclusively, and I wasn’t into that. It didn’t explain that the instance itself was largely irrelevant and that the rest of the platform would open up to me after choosing one.
Lemmy still had a learning curve, but having experience with reddit I was able to pick it up easily enough.

Are there any new developments with the UAP hearings? Have we made any progress? Kicked down any doors? I assumed it just fizzled out and we would never get answers.

Thanks for the heads up. I don’t really have a vendetta against Microsoft, I just hear a lot of moaning over how bad 11 is and have been hesitant to upgrade thus far. Even if it isn’t great, I managed to strip 10 down in a way that it closely resembles 7, so I’m sure I can do something similar.

I’m on Windows 10 currently, so not quite two versions behind, but I held onto XP and 7 for ages.
