Reply to This is an excerpt from Cixin Liu's book "The Dark Forest", describing what happens to people when they lose all hope in Humanity by RobleViejo
You can only change the immediate world around you. Do what you can for the environment, encourage others, and be kind. Humanity is still around for the moment.

Really? 1993? That's the latest you can come up for from Québec? Literally three decades ago.

Nope. This on the national news, the station had their team check it out, it's 100% legit. The guy has taken tens of thousands of pictures to get that one great shot.
Not the report I saw, but another interview with the photographer.

And that doesn’t include DVR viewing, meaning we don’t know how many hours were consumed later that week.
I know I always rewatched GoT/HoD on dvr, and presumably those aren't counted minutes.

You can see the 'E' in 'HOPE' in the fold of the t-shirt.
In 1980, Terry's journey to raise money for cancer research began and he called it the Marathon of Hope. With fierce determination and hope, Terry completed an average of 42 km each day, every day for 143 days. He ran a total of 5,373 km. Terry's Route Across Canada.
The only joke is the map of the US on his shirt that OP didn't notice!
(Sorry OP! Here's a fun fact for your pain...nowhere is the race more popular than Cuba!)
Cuba - 1998. In 2005, over 1.9 million people used 3,600 sites. In 2006, it had around 2.6 million participants. The tenth run in 2007 had 4,652 sites and 2.267 million runners.

There's a difference between have some narcissistic traits, and being a full blown narcissist, who justify their behavior, rather than being shamed by it.

It is better to have loved and lost a narcissist than to have never lost them at all.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Website that lists all of North America's Groundhog Day “groundhogs”, forecasts, and where they are from. by MisterPaulCraig
Wiarton Willie is our main Canadian dude.
Willie is successful 90 per cent of the time, proving Canucks rule the weather prognostication game.
Punxsutawney Phil has the experience, but his accuracy is a sad 39 per cent. He’s a glamour groundhog consumed by fame.
RIP Fred la Marmotte
