Yahoo Adds Thumb Wrestling to Suite of Canadian Distractions

We do hate pushing an old joke but in this case we can’t help it (just look at this and this). What is going on up there? Is it really nonstop games and big hair?

Anyway, Yahoo just released a thumb-wrestling game for its Canada Mail offering. It’s actually more fun than it deserves to be. We spent the greater part of the morning creating thumb wrestlers and destroying each other. Very clever way to ensare us in the whole “E-mail choice for champions” thing which we pointedly burned here because of its staggering potential to be lame.

Check out more images from the campaign. We dig the casual playfulness of the images; the campaign is appropriation-friendly and we like that. – Contributed by Angela Natividad

Nobody tells you that pain doesn’t just change what you feel. It changes what you notice. After real loss, you start seeing grief in strangers’ faces at the grocery store, hearing exhaustion in your friend’s laugh, catching the micro-hesitation before someone says ‘I’m fine.’ Pain gave you a fluency you never asked for and can never unlearn

I retired at 62 with plenty of money and a beautiful home, but I kept decorating it for guests who never came — until I realized I had built an entire life designed to impress people who weren’t actually paying attention

Most people don’t realize that adults without children aren’t avoiding responsibility—they’re carrying a different kind. Research shows they become the unseen infrastructure of everyone else’s family, and that role is both chosen and completely invisible
