Topic | Would we survive if meat didn't exists on this planet ? |
MagnusX 05/12/24 4:56:31 PM #12 | LonelyStoner posted... Eating meat is one of the biggest reasons why human brains evolved to where we are now. |

Topic | TIL no human remains were found after years of claims of 'mass graves' in Canada |
MagnusX 05/11/24 10:24:30 AM #3 | New York Post is garbage Clarifying context from the reddit link posted above: "During a lot of these discussions there was a lot of reporting on the 'Mass Graves' that were discovered. The issue with this is that the actual reports from the groups doing the investigation never initially claimed there was mass graves. What was being discovered was unmarked or forgotten burial sites. In residential schools It has been reported that some schools had a death rate as high as 1 in 20 per student. Some deaths were from disease, others abuse, neglect but most are unknown. While many of the schools had explicit cemeteries associated with them, some did not. Even among those schools associated with cemeteries, records and even some cemeteries were lost when areas were abandoned and left to grow over. It is estimated that there is somewhere in the realm of 3,200 unmarked / lost graves. In one specific instance the 'probable burials' were within a cemetery where the headstones of the victims were removed at some point by 'Catholic Authorities'. It is much more accurate to refer to these as unmarked graves since when the general public thinks of a Mass Grave it brings up images that are inconsistent with the actual findings. But this confusion in terminology is being maliciously used by some groups to try to paint the entire situation as a hoax. But there it is still highly likely that most of the sites contain graves." |
Topic | Do you usually drink white milk? |
MagnusX 05/11/24 10:20:22 AM #28 | Stopped drinking milk almost a decade ago and replaced it with unsweetened cashew and oat milks. |
Topic | Would you live on A Houseboat? |
MagnusX 05/08/24 9:28:04 PM #10 | Holy fuck no |
Topic | Why don't fast food restaurants have bars? |
MagnusX 05/07/24 10:45:47 PM #6 | I don't really drink and I sure as hell don't want booze with fast food, especially at the inflated prices they would command. |
Topic | When's the last time you said the pledge of allegiance? |
MagnusX 05/02/24 5:13:58 PM #13 | Not American, thankfully, so never. Pledging allegiance to a flag is absolutely bonkers to me. |
Topic | It seems like you can't buy a vehicle without a panoramic roof anymore. |
MagnusX 04/30/24 8:01:07 PM #15 | We're getting a new Corolla LE Hybrid AWD. No sunroof. There's no way I'd ever buy a car with one. |
Topic | Do you take one A Day men Multivitamin? |
MagnusX 04/28/24 3:35:02 PM #4 | Most people just piss out 99% of any multivitamin and they're a waste of money. For most. Just eat an apple and veggies semi-regularly. |
Topic | was your high school haunted |
MagnusX 04/27/24 6:21:18 PM #5 | Paranormal/supernatural doesn't exist in reality. So no. |
Topic | OLED Burn in (my fear) |
MagnusX 04/22/24 3:07:57 PM #15 | Used a plasma tv for 11 years, barely any image retention. Got the LG C3 OLED last Black Friday. Shouldn't be an issue. Just turn on pixel shift to help prevent burn in if you actually do have the same static image in the same spot for hours at a time. |
Topic | Do you regularly eat peanut butter? |
MagnusX 04/22/24 10:41:03 AM #36 | Maybe a couple times a year? |
Topic | Did you like She-Hulk Spoilers |
MagnusX 04/21/24 10:32:23 AM #20 | Overall really enjoyed it. It was exactly as advertised (Ally McBeal + MCU), funny, entertaining, and well done, except the ending - especially considering Secret Invasion. Also like that it upsets incels so much. Male fragility is hilarious, even if fucking pathetic. |
Topic | How many steps do you guys take per day? |
MagnusX 04/20/24 9:39:11 PM #35 | Got a Garmin in January 2021, wear it 99% if the time. Average daily steps is 9646 but that's been trending down for a bit. Finally getting spring will help. Looking forward to the 20-35k on our music festival days in the summer. |
Topic | How much money did you spend on your current phone? |
MagnusX 04/18/24 8:04:39 PM #11 | I got my Galaxy S8 six months after its release for $0 on a Black Friday sale plus a work promotion. Still using it 6.5 years later. |
Topic | Would Trump Have Handled the Iran-Israel Conflict a Lot Better Than Biden? |
MagnusX 04/14/24 1:02:04 AM #32 | Anyone who says yes has absolutely no grip on reality. |
Topic | What happen to bare naked ladies they were the best band ever |
MagnusX 04/10/24 2:34:37 PM #7 | Steven Page leaving the band in 2009 is a major factor they dropped off, imo. He was a principle songwriter and has such a unique vocal style that Ed or Kevin can't replicate. |

MagnusX 04/03/24 2:15:37 PM #13 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Woah-ohhhh |
Topic | "Anime" as a descriptor for something is something.... |
MagnusX 04/01/24 5:30:24 PM #6 | Negative. I don't typically enjoy animation of any kind and anime is absolutely my least favourite style. |

Topic | Windows. Do you full-screen or not? |
MagnusX 03/31/24 10:41:02 AM #2 | Full screen only, since the late 90s. I barely ever played games on PC back then and haven't at all in over a decade. I pretty much only use it for web browsing, or word processing when I was in university, so no need to see other programs since there are were none other than Winamp. I started making music a couple years ago and sometimes use an extended desktop to my tv, but even then everything is full screen. |
Topic | my new across the street neighbor plays the drums. |
MagnusX 03/27/24 4:01:53 PM #6 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] There are lots of great ekit options, but they do cost more. Alesis Nitro, Yamaha, Roland, etc. And def take lessons! |
Topic | "Unfortunate" doesn't begin to describe this site's moderations |
MagnusX 03/26/24 4:28:55 PM #10 | Ma'am, this is a Wendy's. |
Topic | Does your work have a group chat? |
MagnusX 03/24/24 4:22:24 PM #19 | There are two or three group text chats that they have added me to. I've muted all of them and literally never open them, because I'm not interested in thinking about work when I'm not at work. |
Topic | Coffee - how do you like it? |
MagnusX 03/23/24 10:24:42 AM #28 | I don't drink coffee but I do like a sugary iced cappuccino |
Topic | Remember Tech Deck? |
MagnusX 03/21/24 8:15:55 PM #11 | I was in my 20s when they came back in the early 2000s and I had zero interest in them. So yeah, I remember that they exist, but that's the end of it. |
Topic | Would you work on this schedule? |
MagnusX 03/20/24 12:30:53 PM #16 | Likely no. I would rather work 3-5 days in a row and have the occasional 2 day weekend like I do now. Union job, 70 hours/2 weeks, and roughly 120 hours of PTO that carries over year to year (I currently have over 200 on the books despite taking a full 2 weeks the last 2 years plus lots of other individual days). If the pay was good enough and I didn't hate the job, maybe for a year or two. |
Topic | Are you interested in the new Ghostbusters movie? |
MagnusX 03/20/24 12:15:40 PM #6 | I never really liked the original two movies, haven't bothered to see the two since and won't see the upcoming. |
Topic | Do you think homeowners associations were ever a good idea? |
MagnusX 03/19/24 3:43:27 PM #59 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Never been an issue in any house I've lived it, and I can't imagine it would ever be on one on my cul-de-sac. And even then, I can't imagine I'd care if there was cars regularly parked in front of my house. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] I use exactly zero community assets. Well, except putting my dog poop bags in the playground trash if necessary, but again, the city maintains that and keeps it clean. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] I have never and will never attend community events. The dump is a 5 minute drive, or I can set up a large item trash pickup easily with the city. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] I couldn't give less of a fuck what other people do with their yards. Make beautiful gardens, use as extra parking, keep trimmed, let it grow, etc. It's their land. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] I would rather that people in the area should voice their individual concerns to the city - or group together if they want - instead of a singular board determining that stuff. Meanwhile, my city posts public notices of potential projects and asks the public to reach out with ideas or concerns. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] I do not want police actively patrolling my street and I live in Canada. In Texas? Jesus Christ no. Glad you find those things beneficial. Absolutely zero are to me, and are reasons I would never live in a HOA. |
Topic | How's your Twitter experience lately? |
MagnusX 03/18/24 1:24:31 PM #10 | Haven't used it in years. I keep meaning to archive my account and then delete it, because fuck Elon. |
Topic | When is the last time you watched a movie in IMAX? |
MagnusX 03/17/24 8:59:48 AM #18 | We don't have an actual IMAX screen anywhere near my city - it's a regular theatre, just an altered ratio projection/screen, and sound waaaay too loud for the small room. Went a couple times after it opened but never since; I refuse to ever waste my money here. Last real IMAX was last year in Ottawa, saw the Bowie Ziggy Stardust concert film remaster re-release. |
Topic | At what age did you "give up" on religious stuff? |
MagnusX 03/17/24 8:44:28 AM #155 | I gave up on religious stuff after a couple days at Sunday school when I was like 5. Parents were never religious, I cried every Sunday because I didn't like it, and that was that. Never entertained the notion of religion as part of my life since. |
Topic | Do you think homeowners associations were ever a good idea? |
MagnusX 03/17/24 8:39:12 AM #12 | Solid_Sonic posted... For instance they're the ones responsible for getting someone in to repave the road (subdivisions are responsible for their own road upkeep, not the municipality).Thankfully I live in a sensible country where the municipality is responsible for road upkeep, subdivision or not. We own our home and I'd never live in a HOA. |
Topic | Would you spend $1725 to meet with Justin Trudeau |
MagnusX 03/14/24 4:46:56 PM #22 | LonelyStoner posted... I wouldnt spend a dollar to meet any politicianFundraiser or not, this. I'd never spend a dime to meet any politician. Some musicians I might, but it would have to be for more than just a few minutes. |
Topic | How many times have you been to a Disney park? |
MagnusX 03/11/24 5:37:51 PM #50 | Went to World once in 2014 with the in-laws and it was absolutely the worst vacation I've ever had. I have zero attachment to any of the characters or movies, the rides are for kids with no actual coasters, it costs a fuck ton, etc. Never again. |
Topic | Are you watching the Oscars? |
MagnusX 03/11/24 5:30:51 AM #16 | Watched an hour or two a decade ago; never again. Boring waste of time where rhe highlight is actors jerking each other off. Never cared about awards of any kind. |
Topic | A lot of people really do experience 'life flash' before death |
MagnusX 03/10/24 2:57:23 PM #2 | DMT is a hell of a drug. |
Topic | Have you ever been outside of the Eastern Central Mountain + Pacific time zones |
MagnusX 02/27/24 8:17:28 PM #6 | Live outside the listed zones, plus have been to England (GMT) and Belgium/Netherlands (CET). |
Topic | So is Elemental actually good? |
MagnusX 02/26/24 4:23:51 PM #28 | Toonstrack posted... The animation is insane gorgeous as well.Also this. We recently got a quality HDR OLED and the movie is fucking beautiful. It was even prettier for me since I was on the tail end of a half square trip |
Topic | So is Elemental actually good? |
MagnusX 02/26/24 12:29:03 PM #18 | Literally watched it last night. Never saw a trailer so I had no expectations. It was alright; worth watching if you're bored but not great. The stakes are much lower than most Pixar movies and it's lacking a real emotional gut-punch. Wish they had dealt more with the immigrant story aspect. |
Topic | Would you buy a bedside gun holster? |
MagnusX 02/20/24 3:43:02 PM #28 | Of course not, because I live in a country with actual gun control laws, very little gun crime, and I have no desire to ever own a gun. |
