  • Damn, now I’m getting a vague memory of an edgier website in this vein, but I’m stumbling on the name. Steak and Kidney Pie or something?

    Edit: it was steakandcheese[dot]com, which apparently went full porn at some point looking at discussions of it. And the reason I have a memory of it was that was my exposure to goatse.

    Rest of original comment: Only real memory is that there was some really dark humour shit on it, and probably wasn’t the best browsing choice for 12-13 year olds when eBaum’s was right there.






  • Good question, actually - I had the same thought, there’s some facial structure similarities. Could just be a coincidence, might be a distant cousin or something.

    The fact that Kevin’s parents are from Mass doesn’t help or hinder that much, given a history of migration of French-Canadians to that region.

    I’ll leave it at a solid “idk, maybe?”

    Edit: If Wikipedia is to be trusted (and I can’t be arsed to dig deeper), probably not - Kevin was adopted. What I’m personally picking up that looks like family resemblance is pretty striking nonetheless, though, even if there’s no real connection.




  • Gonna echo the other folks here - heroism does not require perfection. Everyone you can think of as a hero has a flaw (or several), big or small.

    The upside to this is that heroism is accessible to almost everyone. Any opportunity you have to do the right, but difficult (and tbh sometimes not all that difficult, perhaps just uncomfortable or risky), thing is the chance to be a hero to someone in some respect. The downside is that people you may admire as heroes, when you meet them as just people, can sometimes be disappointing.

    The only flawless heroes are superheros (and even then, few are written about like that these days). Think about that prefix- how are the terms superhero and supernatural alike?










  • …this hits weird, 'cause I have a guy like this in my neighbourhood, but I know it’s not sports or vidya. Guy’s just on the thinnest of psychological threads. Which is a shame, he’s a pretty nice dude.

    Coupled with your account being from lemmy.ca, I thought “Man I know who they’re talking about” before remembering Canada is really big and has about 41 million people in it.
