Weird small things that give you joy.

WFH on a day like this, although I guess that's not weird.

When my cat sits on a harmonica and farts.

It becomes extra funny in this weather.

But people who smoke, getting dolled up in outwear every couple hours to rush outside and freeze for their fix lol

Making fun of people's addictions? That's a HATE CRIME.

[killramos]

Sounds more like a fun crime to me

I've probably said this before, but "Muting" people on linkedin. If you share photos of Cats, 10 rules for marketing your digital content, or other bullshit, you are getting muted, and it feels so good.
Also feels good when someone, local to calgary and someone I've actually met and then disconnected from because they are huge assholes, has another connection request I can ignore. Fuck you, you stupid racist prick.

Ahhhh, yeah, cutting people out of your digital life is cathartic.

95% of my linked-in muting is political bullshit these days, and yes, that feels pretty darn good!

So, I can remain connected to them but no longer find out about them posting some bullshit political nonsense?
Where do I sign!!?

You can do that on Facebook by simply unfollowing them (not to be confused with unfriending). They can see you are still friends (no hurt feelings) but you never see any of their posts so win-win. Came in handy with friends and acquaintances that have gone crazy over politics, COVID, or just bat shit crazy in general.

The last thing I want is to protect the feelings of former friends-turned-idiots. The sooner they know I don't want to be around or converse with them, the better.

Watching my son play guitar or piano.
Watching him swing a golf club.

How about watching him drink pop

I don't think watching your kids do something or express themselves is a "weird" thing. Every day and every new thing with my 19 month old is a joy - like when she tries to comb my hair when we're reading books (even the things that aren't good: like when she threw up in the car yesterday when I was still 10 minutes away from picking up my wife in the thick of 9th ave traffic - at least she didn't cry...but pretty sure that smell will sit in my seats for a while...)

Meh. If we are or were friends in the day I'm not going to throw that away over politics or life difficulties. People are so thin skinned these days and I choose to look the other way rather than belittle others if I disagree with their opinions. I'm not a fan of the current divisiveness fueled by social media. It's totally possible for good people to have bad takes or take a wrong path in life. Back in the days before internet if you disagreed with someone you would have it out face to face, that would be it, and you could still sit together and have a beer after. Now it's all about shaming and belittling others. It's not healthy IMO.

Pffftttt! Is that what Consumer Reports told you? Fag!

That's a good point.

I'm surprised so many of you haven't realized there's also a delete account option on LinkedIn.

I went to the Millarville Christmas market which is always great & all. But my sister was super interested in the fur stuff that those (I certainly assume proper, Inuit fur trappers) have like their incredible seal fur gloves, etc.
She's shy about it so I gotta go up and talk to the nice folks about their amazing stuff and there's no prices, so you gotta talk to them. Anyways, they had skunk gloves and badger gloves and seal gloves and all this other amazing shit and I found out it's somewhere around $240 - $280 for the amazing gloves and that was too rich for my sister's blood.
So now my sweet little daughter is at their table and she finds herself this skinny-ass, creepy little mink stole. Maybe I am using the stole word incorrectly, but it's a dead mink skin with its head & feet still intact and it ends up essentially being a very short scarf.
So the sweet one decides this must be hers and now she's parading about with this dead mink like it's a fucking living pet and it's just so fucking cute and disturbing. I just can't figure out why she feels like this adorable, obviously dead animal is some sort of teddy bear. I've made a concerted effort to explain to her that it's an animal that had to die in order for her to to enjoy its supple softness and she honestly seems to get it, but it sure is cute.

I wouldn't recommend capturing a child. You'll end up having to take care of it and no one wants to do that. Just let them graze in your yard and move along. Its not worth the headache.

Airsoft can be a decent deterrent. But don't use a .22, because they are technically protected.
