    Oh a Newfie! 😀 I’m in / from Toronto but my dad’s side of the family are all Acadian from Nova Scotia. (That’s not me being an ignorant Torontonian assuming NS and Newfoundland are the same thing, just acknowledging they’re both that side of Canada 😂)

    You’re being recognised for providing people with entertainment and joy. I’d say that’s a good thing! You’ve certainly provided me (and my friends by extension) with a ton of entertainment. To that point, if you message me your details I’ll e-transfer you $50 as thanks for all your good works.

      All good! Nova Scotia and NFLD have a lot in common anyway. I’m in Toronto too actually. Have been for a few years now, for better or worse.

      I can’t take credit for anything I post. Just stuff I’ve collected over the years and finally found a place to share it. I mean I can’t say that $50 is unappealing or unhelpful but I don’t make the posts for money or thanks or anything. Just like seeing people talking about Star Trek and I like helping people laugh. The world sucks and if I can be part of the day being a little better then awesome.

        With this sentiment, you’ve already made my day a little better. That’s something that I also try for myself and it’s nice to see others expressing a similar view.

          I’ve been through too much shit to do anything else. I’m not always the best at it and sometimes I can fuck up severely or just be an asshole. But I try. All you can do, right?
