Is that the fucking 401
That is the fucking 401
Of course it’s the fucking 401
The god damn
motherfucking
401
You got somewhere to be?
Too bad you’re not getting there.
The 401 is where they weed out the weak. You don’t drive on the 401 to get somewhere. You do it for the challenge. You do it to test your abilities like some Uchiha clan shit. Rush hour 401 is the breaking point between heaven and earth. Are you going to descend into a Lovecraftian hell or reach Nirvana? You will double the size of your biceps death-gripping your steering wheel. There is no time for rest or pulling off over into an exit. Bodily functions shut down. Cars on the side of the road and crashes closing lanes are a constant reminder that you are driving the razor’s edge. Death is mere seconds away at any given moment. They’re always doing construction but nothing is ever finished. It’s a constant roadblock for the hell of it. This is the Dark Souls 2 of Canadian driving. git good or get out
And that’s just normal mode. Have fun in the six-month long Ontario winter and enter some top-tier level of highway driving.
EVO2015. EVO2018.
The legendary final level on Frogger

The busiest and widest highway in the world is in Ontario, Canada

What Hiking Does To The Brain Is Pretty Amazing
Recent studies about the effects of hiking and nature have been directed
at understanding just how this recreational activity affects both the
physiological and mental aspects of our brains. One of the main reasons
for this glut of research is because we’re spending so much less time
outdoors, overall. The average American child now spends half as much
time outside as compared to only 20 years ago. HALF. Only 6% of children
will play outside on their own in a typical week. Conversely, kids are
now spending almost 8 hours per day watching television, playing video
games, or using a computer, tablet, or phone for recreational purposes.
That number actually jumps up to 10 hours if you count doing two things
at once! Overall, Americans now spend 93% of their time inside a
building or vehicle.According to a study published last July in Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences, a 90-minute walk through a natural environment had a
huge positive impact on participants. In a survey taken afterwards,
those people who took the natural walk showed far lower levels of
brooding, or obsessive worry. The control group who spent that 90
minutes walking through a city reported no such difference. Not only
that, but the scientists went a step further and did brain scans of the
subjects. They found that there was decreased blood flow to the
subgenual prefrontal cortex. What in the world does that mean? Well,
increased blood flow to this region of the brain is associated with bad
moods. Everything from feeling sad about something, to worrying, to
major depression seem to be tied to this brain region. Hiking
deactivates it. -
I love how the INTERPOL pretzel cart is actually really good pretzels.
Does INTERPOL just have such a huge pretzel cart disguise budget that they get the highest quality of pretzels available? Did they specifically select the agent with the greatest proficiency for making pretzels?
Or maybe they put an agent on pretzel cart surveillance duty years ago, and he thought of it as just another undercover job, making his shitty pretzels and reporting back to his masters, but then something he never expected happened. He started to care about the pretzels he was making and selling. He got in too deep. The espionage was suddenly secondary to his true calling: making the best damn pretzels he could and selling them to hungry people near the area of interest.
It’s the INTERPOL version of Eliot.
Dude, Eliot probably knows him. (Those pretzels are very distinctive!) They hang out sometimes, swap recipes, bitch about yeast not cooperating when you really need it to, and compare knife blades. Eliot brings him a thermos of tea when he’s stuck working in inclement weather and in return, he makes sure to sneak vitamin powder into the pretzels he sells to Hardison because they both know how few vegetables Hardison ever eats.
I feel like Sterling drives a major policy change stating that if a food vendor is used as cover to case a place Eliot Spencer is known to frequent, it has to be quality food
after like six seperate instances of Eliot taking a bite, staring right into the hidden camera, and saying “seriously, Sterling?”
#this is what happens in a fandom with little new material#we get excited about pretzel trucks (via aegialia)
What if it was a random pretzel guy, and then INTERPOL was like, “Hey. We’d like to borrow your pretzel truck.”
And the pretzel guy was like, “You’ll have my pretzel truck over my dead body. I have a reputation for being the best pretzels in town!”
And INTERPOL was like, “Okay, either we train this guy to be an agent, or we get our agent pretzel training.”
And that’s how Agent Schmidt learned to make the best goddamn pretzels ever.

as a welsh person i want you all to accept that W is a vowel because honestly it makes pronouncing acronyms so much easier. wlw becomes ‘ooloo’, wjec becomes ‘oojeck’, love yourselves and stop giving us shit when we tell you welsh has 7 vowels. english actually has 15 vowel sounds but because y’all only use 5 letters you have to rely on a spelling system devised by satan
and please, enough with the “keyboard smashing” jokes. not original, not funny.
“
#okay but can any of y’all even pronounce your own town names tho? #bye”
yeah, we can actually because the spelling is phonetic. meanwhile english folks have placenames like bicester or keighley or beaulieu, which you have to learn the pronunciation for individually because the rules are so inconsistent. i mean people can’t even agree how to pronounce marylebone but sure welsh place names are the weird ones
“#But are you aware your language literally looks like a potato rolled across a keyboard”
fun fact: for decades children were beaten for speaking welsh in school, even in areas where english was barely spoken, because the government decided in 1847 that the language made people lazy and immoral
fun fact: welsh orthography is actually easy to read if you take your head out of your arse for one minute and learn our alphabet – just like french, or spanish, or korean, because surprise! languages use different spelling systems that are not based on english. novel, i know – and in the 18th century, travelling schools were able to teach people to read and write welsh in a matter of months, so that wales enjoyed a literate majority, a rare thing in europe at the time
fun fact: the english have been taking the piss out of welsh for years, just like they’ve been doing for irish, and scots gaelic, and cornish, and british sign language, and a hundred and one other languages, because evidently the fact that the whole world isn’t anglophone and monocultured and Still Part Of The Empire is a problem, and something that needs to be corrected
I could kiss this post a million times over and coto524 would still not understand the level of my love for it and them
I am not welsh but i love this fucking language and i s2g anyone shitting on it is gonna get my foot up their ass bc it makes more sense than english when you bother to learn how it works, and it’s gorgeous, and fuck you.

last point of today: nobody can rock a bright yellow dress better than a DARK SKINNED woman
like i mean…
truly my aesthetic, idk about y’all
Yet we’re always told to never wear bright vibrant colors. ????
That contrast is phenomenal.
10/10 would also recommend bright ass blue.
Can somebody reblog this with a photoset of dark skinned women in bright ass blue dresses pls?
Yeah I can
I love how much this blew up because it’s so positive and honestly we need more posts like this encouraging our dark skinned sisters
