Tinder Daymare
[Image-1] “I love misogyny,” he told me in the morning while he put his shirt back on. “Why?” I, an idiot, asked. “Because as a man, it benefits me.” Wrong, grasshopper. You mean the patriarchy, not misogyny. And you’re still wrong. The patriarchy hurts everyone. —Out of your league

Ignorance on the 102 Highway
[Image-1] To all the road bullies driving SUVs light trucks and RST Tankers: why don’t you smarten the hell up when you see an older model car driving 10-12 km below limit. Haven’t you figured out in your thick stupid skulls that older cars can’t race at 140km in the fucking dark during a rain […]

Marked or Unmarked
[Image-1] For the love of God, people. Why does such a basic rule of the road seem to be completely unknown to so many drivers? Listen, crosswalks exist at every intersection, MARKED OR UNMARKED.

Is the cup half-empty or half-full?
[Image-1] I just ordered the pizza and garlic fingers from your pizza shop and it cost me 30 bucks! I opened the garlic fingers and only half of them had cheese on them—the outer perimeter was dry as fuck. There were like eight fingers left at the end that didn’t even have a shred of cheese […]
