Lol, are they finally telling you you have to go after 20 years or however long it has been?

Really though, I have not watched SNL in almost 10 years. I remember how riddled with Ad breaks it was. The show was 1.5 hours, but maybe 45 mins was actual SNL.

Yeah PS5 has killed consoles for me I think. I have always had a Playstation, but when I got a Steamdeck and I was able to play every game ever and online was free. It showed me Playstation's major limitations. Then they released that terrible Steamdeck like controller with the screen where you could only stream games to it from your PS5 and it was super expensive. Sony is out of touch with what consumers want.

I've been super disapointed by the PS5. Games sucked and I basically only played my PS4 games on it. I'll build a PC now before I buy another console.

I was using xmanager for a long time, then I moved on from Spotify altogether. I think it depends on how you use Spotify. I was really trying to hold onto streaming music because I didn't want to loose my playlists, but when I looked at my Wrapped every year, I was listening to the same artists and songs alot of the time.

For me it made more sense to buy the music I loved, rather than pay a monthly fee to listen to the same tracks. Now I have a great currated music collection on my phone that I control. If you decide to buy music, 7digital and Bandcamp are great.

Hot take, I dont think it is that great of a show. I watched the first two seasons and enjoyed moments of them, but I wish it was more lighthearted. The show takes itself very seriously at times and that's when I feel myself checking out. I didn't even bother with season 3.

Glad I left Spotify

Retro Bowl is good. Pay to unlock, but it is one time payment and the game is solid

Westworld comes to mind for me

I don't have high hopes for this movie.

You can say it is Calgary. It is a massive problem. There was a 17 year old on a skateboard who was recently hit and killed by a 79 year old lady. This is at least the third time in less than a year that someone has been hit in a crosswalk by an older woman. One of the cases someone was hit by two older women back to back and killed. I wish I was joking, but that actually happened.

I walk in Calgary to work every day and I can confirm that it is dangerous. My walk is only 15 mins, but I had so many close calls that I had to buy a construction vest and a headlamp for when I am walking at night. Some people will yell at me when my headlamp shines on them, but at least they see me and stop.

We need better lighting, we need more frequent reviews of peoples licenses, (Normally people get a license when they are 17 and they are never reviewed again), we need harsher punishments for people who drive dangerously (if you hit someone in a crosswalk, it should be a significant license suspension, 6 months to 1 year), and we need more investment in protected bike lanes and pedestrian over/underpasses so you don't need to always risk getting hit to just cross the street. Too many people in Calgary are entilted drivers and act like they have a right to drive as fast as they want.

More people will die and I could very well still be one of them despite the precautions I take. I would also argue that 1 million won't even scratch the surface of addressing how widespread of a problem this is in the city. That one guy who was hit and killed by the two older ladies and died was at a crosswalk that is unlit and was frequently complained about for being unsafe, but the city said it was too expensive to put in a light system. People have still been hit in lit crosswalks, but the fact that the city has a price where they won't prioritize pedestrians lives is apparant.
