100% a public transit enjoyer. I get annoyed with people in my city who complain endlessly about how shitty our bus service is. I've been getting the bus daily since childhood, and it used to be so much worse. 15 minute minimum wait, often it just wouldn't show up, and expensive fares. Now it's uncommon for me to wait for more than 5 minutes, the fares have reduced, and it's reliable. The only issue is that the bus gets stuck in traffic because there are twice as many cars on the roads now compared to 25 years ago. So great job drivers, you've created a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Most of it comes from people who have next to no experience of using public transit, and will just latch onto any excuse not to use it, when in reality they're snobs who don't like to admit that they think getting the bus is below them. It's not. I used to get the bus into college with one of my lecturers (RIP) who owned a fucking law firm, and it keeps people humble in my experience. I honestly think society would be healthier if people used public transit more.

I finally finished Assassin's Creed Valhalla, after nearly 300 hours. Holy fuck, there is so much video game in that god-damn video game. It just keeps going for so much longer than it needs to. Then on top of that they went and added several new features like raiding, and a roguelike game mode which I enjoyed.

It's a mediocre game, but it's a fun time if you're like me and just enjoy exploring big maps, collecting items, upgrading gear, etc. I enjoyed the DLC, but I'm not planning on picking up Dawn of Ragnarök because the mythical storyline just doesn't interest me.

Call Me Maybe (2011) composer: Josh Ramsay, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Tavish Crowe. Lol, yes she did.

PSA Carly Rae Jepsen is lowkey one of the greatest popstars of all time. Every album she's released since call me maybe has been absolutely brilliant. More people need to listen to Carly.

I have terrible teeth. The ones at the front are okay, but my molars are a disaster. They've been giving me trouble for about ten years. At this point they're literally falling apart.

About a year ago, I decided to start saving up to get implants. It's a big job, and expensive, but I just don't want to deal with them anymore. Replacing them with fake teeth that will last until I'm dead is a great alternative.

So I went to the dentist to get them removed, and he won't do it. He says they can be repaired and that I just need to book 12 appointments to have a root canal, a bunch of crowns put on, and a filling. I know full well that these god-damn things are going to start falling apart again as soon as he's done.

For some reason he refuses to contemplate removing them. I'm going to have to travel to a different country now to have the work done because the dentist at the end of my road is too much of a fucking pussy to do it.

One time when I was 11 we were given a tour of our city's zoo by two ladies, who were retired zookeepers. They showed us around the zoo's museum, and told us that the tiger pelt hanging on the wall belonged to their favourite animal, who they'd both looked after.

I put up my hand and asked why they'd skinned it and nailed it to a wall if they loved it so much. They both got really fucking mad, but I stand by what I said.

1/2 a mile to the gallon and $600 to fill up. Produces as much C02 as Luxembourg. New EV version out next year!
