I was not lacking salt. My body was having a natural reaction to a CNS stimulant. Everybody reacts differently to pharmaceuticals, and I'm audhd which makes it worse.

Yeah, people call us the Texas of Canada but we've had no power interruptions during those -40 and below cold snaps. Part of that has to do with natural gas being our heat, of course. But if you've ever been outside in -40... I'll take the natural gas over that. It's cold like you've never felt it before.

Oh yeah, not the person you replied to directly, but it's insanely obvious to me that this is YET ANOTHER PR stunt to make Elon look like he's being targeted. ANY other international social media would have tried to resolve this quietly, the public probably wouldn't even know.

Even if i was modeling I don't think I could do this.

I grew up in the late 2000s, honestly I think most of my childhood entertainment was just fine. The most notable thing is iCarly, and I recently watched Quinton Reviews' series on it - it holds up better than I thought, but I realized the moment he named as most fans losing interest was the same time I stopped watching it lol.

Other than that there's Danny Phantom which I watched again and was pretty fun, except for the classic kid show thing of spelling absolutely everything out for you and leaving nothing to be assumed or figured out from context.

When I was in middle school, I fell in love with MLP:FiM (the one that started in 2010). I mean that show is famous for amassing a lot of adult men and women as fans. This one's the most intriguing to me - I rewatch episodes when I feel like it, and it certainly did start as a kid show (a very good kid's show), but as it progressed they tried to integrate more action moments to keep their older audience. On the actual content though, I love the way it teaches lessons and I find that sometimes they're lessons I've forgotten. I honestly think more adults, outside of the context of having kids, should engage with kids media like this. I'm biased - I'm a bit of an age regressor, but I mean when you look around there's so many adults that have forgotten or never learned the essential lessons that media like MLP:FiM or recently Bluey lays out in an easy-to-understand way.

This is still a goofy line of reasoning. If you, for example, are driving a truck equipped with engine retarder brakes, in quite a lot of municipalities you literally aren't allowed to use them because they are too loud for neighbourhoods. You risk getting a fine.

Revving a lambo is exactly the same.

Sell your fucking car to pay for it, I don't care. Maybe a Prius will fix your attitude

Nobody held Nazi Germany to account until they did. I won't lie and say a Nuremburg Trials pt 2 is extremely likely, but it is a possible outcome with how many peaceful international groups have been intentionally targeted.

The law doesn't function the same everywhere. When you start/run an international business, it is necessary to understand this. When you don't, things like this happen.

I still think windmills are pretty cool lol. There's a program in my school for becoming a windmill technician and you can see the size of one blade and they truly are massive.

This is a tangent, but as a kid I always thought windmills looked cool as shit. I hate that talking point.
