There is/was a restaurant that offered IIRC $8/1 bowl, or $11 unlimited bowls (this was ~20 years ago). It was called BD’s Mongolian BBQ, the crazy constructions I saw while eating there was ridiculous. Same goes for when we used to have Indian buffets (pre-COVID). I think the most insulting thing was that these were people who based on their dress, and the vehicles parked outside, did not seem to be hurting for money
Obligatory (there are several versions of this, but this is my favourite 😁 ):
A World War II RAF pilot is reminiscing before school children about his days in the air force.
“In 1942,” he says, "the situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember, " he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these fokkers appeared.
At this point, several of the children giggle.
I looked up, and right above me was one of them. I aimed at him and shot him down. They were swarming. I immediately realized that there was another fokker behind me."
At this instant the girls in the auditorium start to giggle and boys start to laugh. The teacher stands up and says, “I think I should point out that ‘Fokker’ was the name of the German-Dutch aircraft company”
“That’s true,” says the pilot, “but these fokkers were flying Messerschmits.”
We all believe in you! If you want to take your driving global, do it (just get a go-pro 1st so we can all witness)! 😂 In all seriousness though, I’ve never been to Canada so I don’t have any info to compare, but I’ve driven extensively in the US. There are really only 3 cities that scare the daylights out of me: Baltimore, Maryland, Houston, Texas, and Dallas, Texas - and that’s just highway driving, the suburbs are whole other kettle of fish. If you ever feel bad about your driving just google driving videos from one of those cities
If that’s the case, shouldn’t your username be @worstdriver@lemmy.ca…or are you thinking about going global?
I stopped explaining to people why they were selling their gifts, and where he was dropping her off…After a while, I felt as though I was just ruining something that made people happy.
Same with “Pumped Up Kicks” - although that one, I thought, was pretty self explanatory. I guess people just jam to the beat, and don’t pay attention to the lyrics
…should we…should we, give him an award for stopping familars before they can do their masters’ bidding? I mean, that’s really how the vampires maintain control over Hollywood and the banking system
