I’m just your average Canadian wolf. I’m a siren enthusiast and railfan as my main hobbies. I run the Civil Defense Sirens Wiki, and am working on restoring a few vintage sirens (such as a FS&S Model L and a rare Sterling Siren MOD. F) as well as a 1970s Safetran mechanical crossing bell.

Don’t feed the troll. They don’t actually care if it’s gambling or not.

A lot of people take failure personally, and become scared to even try in the first place. Failure is seen as shameful, rather than a learning opportunity to better yourself.

My entire extended family is in America. They voted for Trump, we will never be visiting them again most likely. America is not safe.

- Comment on Anon watches It 2 weeks ago:
I’m well aware of why they don’t use the actual sounds, I don’t expect them to actually go out of their way to get recordings for it lol. It’s just very noticeable when you’re familiar with the sirens.

The happiest in sound, but the lyrics are definitely usually on the sad or angry side lmao

Tankies never miss a good opportunity to bitch about liberals, even when it’s not relevant to the discussion at all whatsoever.
- Comment on Anon watches It 2 weeks ago:
As a siren enthusiast, it gets old hearing the same few stock sounds used for civil defense sirens in films. You’ll get British WW2 siren sounds despite the movie taking place in the US, or they’ll show a siren but with audio from an entirely different siren. Even the recent Twisters movie even got it wrong, showing an American Signal Tempest-121 mechanical siren going off with audio from a Whelen electronic speaker siren.

No doubt it’ll also have Denuvo, just to make the game run even worse too.

Yup. "Please bend me over and fuck me for all I’m worth, corpo daddy!* type energy. Some people just can’t get enough of being exploited.

It’s really sad how afraid people are to give compliments. It’s not creepy, and it often makes people’s day better. We should all be uplifting one another, not tearing each other apart.
- Comment on Favourite Mario Kart game? 5 weeks ago:
Wii. The driving always felt perfect in that game, the other games don’t control as well in my opinion. 8 Deluxe feels like a letdown with its lack of unlockable characters and karts which I felt was one of the most fun parts about Wii.

My dad used to be on 4Chan all the time in the 2000s, he told me being called a fag was considered a form of endearment, not an insult. I’ve never heard newfag or oldfag be used by the far right, they typically go for actual insults instead.

Every call is either a phone scammer/telemarketer, or work. Thus, my phone stays on vibrate only.

Well, yeah. That would require them to actually read and use their brain, and that’s liberal shit.

I’m rocking a 5800X and see no reason to go to 7000 or no 9000 anytime soon. It’s been great since I built the PC.

What, you mean you don’t like hearing the same recycled jokes repeated ad nauseum because everyone has to be a comedian or having to scroll past 5 threads to read anything of substance?

Why would that make the game worse, unless you’re a bigot?
