Because of my job I have to answer unknown numbers. My God is it ever irritating

The joke being that Tolkien’s fantasy would be the entire legendarium

Have you thought about putting ‘do todo list’ on your todo list?

Personally when someone asks me where I’m from, I respond in order of:

A) if I’m in my home city, I tell them the province I grew up in (because I came from a small town I would never expect anyone to know, if it was a big city I’d say that.)

B) If I’m away from my home city in my home province, I tell them my home city.

C) if I’m away from my home province, I tell them my home province.

D) if I’m away from Canada I’ll tell them I’m from Canada

E) if based on context it seems they’re asking about my ethnic background, I tell them I’m some kind of western/northern European mutt.

Now obviously I’m white as hell and no accent, but OP is saying they’re basically that as well, so I’m not sure why race would be the assumption for them either. I don’t even know how I would respond if i asked someone at work where they’re from and they answered Canada.

They’re either making conversation or racist, depending on context. Answering the country you’re from if you’re currently in that country is pretty odd.

Posted here 2 days ago and still burying the lede

Pretty sure the actual CP played a bigger role in the sentencing

Because we’re speaking English, not Latin?

I cancelled Netflix because I kept realizing I hadn’t used it since the last time I had my kid. Disney is cheaper and has a huge library, and I keep Prime because I like the shipping and music perks as well.
