Immediate image in my head of PepsiFree doing a George Costanza style frolicking through the field.

I back on to a athletic field, and we usually get a #### load of dandelion, but surprisingly less than normal

The city does seem to have given up on mowing many green spaces this year.

It wouldn't affect athletic fields, but for stuff like some road medians and green spaces the city is 'naturalizing' quite a lot, whether it's by re-introducing native species or literally just letting them go back to nature by ignoring them. Supposed to be good for the bees and whatnot I guess

Haha, yeah, that looks like paradise. I mean, not something we'd find acceptable in Bonavista, but I feel like it's great for your average joe.

I don’t play in the field. I don’t see any kids playing in it since the dandelions took over. Not sure how that makes me soft but you do you I guess.

Because they're playing violent video games and catfishing pedophiles

Except for the part where you literally said you wouldn’t.

All supporters of the Oilers are soft. Just like their team.

The fibre of their being has the consistency of baby poop.

Imagine having to relate everything you talk about to the oilers. Must be exhausting.

Not wanting to play in dandelions doesn’t make you soft. Especially when there are better options.

It's exceedingly easy, actually. But only No Good things.

Anything tasteful, honorable, stylish, intelligent or classy is where I struggle.

Yeah, it does. I don’t think I knew growing up or know now in any of my friends/family’s kids a single one who cares about dandelions, outside of thinking they’re “pretty flowers” or playing with them.

But let’s say it doesn’t. Because then, even complaining about dandelions on the internet makes you soft.

You’re kind of screwed either way here.

It’s ok to be a soft boi though. Embrace it!
