I’m an American living in Canada. Canada is prone to knee-jerk anti-Americanism and self-righteous crusading; it’s perhaps inevitable when you’re geographically surrounded by a nation with 10x the population and a much stronger economy (just going by the numbers). To a great extent, Canada’s fate is inexorably tied…

Hah...I was about to say something similar.
I had to attend a wedding on my birthday as well one year. As far as I was concerned, the wedding was more important, so I wouldn’t feel too bad about it. It happens!
I know I’m probably in the minority compared to what a lot of men think, but I think it’s absolutely comical when I see Tom Cruise, George Clooney, etc. on screen with women half their ages. It comes across as immature and kind of gross. That’s not to say that age imbalance in relationships always look that way in…
Part of the problem is that the U.S. is moving at a snail’s pace to approve additional sunscreens. Europe has something like 27 approved sunscreen chemicals to choose from, with 7 that protect against UVA radiation, while the U.S. has 17, but only 3 that protect against UVA—and the ones that are approved are old and…
I feel like this is a case of “Tall Poppy Syndrome,” which Australia (and other Commonwealth nations) are notorious for. This is also why Americans, largely, aren’t giving a shit.
It’s been said that American discourse is colored by “race,” just as, perhaps, British discourse is colored by “class.” I’d say that what’s happening in America is that there has been a serious economic shift over the last 30-40 years (less manufacturing, more outsourcing, a shift toward lower paying service jobs) and…
I’ve always been more of an “aspiring drifter,” because deep down, I’m too practical (and, for the record, I think I’ve dreamt of every foreign destination listed in this article). I have a reasonably comfortable job, but in a painfully flat and boring city with overpriced real estate, so I always have that nagging…
A certain wyrm begs to differ...
The thing is, only one of these was mine; the rest were my family and friends’ devices. Quite literally, this happened to ALL of them. I could understand one, maybe two isolated cases. But all? I love my PC, and I love all the customization I can do with it. For my phone, though, I want something that works, so an…
At least from my end, I have yet to encounter an Android device that doesn’t have serious functionality issues after a year—random crashes, reboots, shutdowns, and weak batteries. And two of these devices I’m referring to are Nexus phones. On the other hand, I’ve had a perfectly functional iPhone going on four years…
Gender-wise, it’s definitely “die,” because “Minuten” is plural. However, even it was singular, it would still be “die,” because “Minute” is feminine. Die schwere deutsche Sprache...
I really want a Shiba Inu myself, and I’m sensible enough to know that I can’t handle one at this point in my life. When I can devote the time and resources to raising/training one properly, then I will consider it.
You don’t want to eat packaging peanuts, because those are probably indigestible.
Still, no angst can excuse what Obama called the behavior of “criminals and thugs who tore up” Baltimore.
I agree. “Hygiene” is now so ingrained that they don’t really need to advertise for it, those nose/lip contraptions have been replaced with plastic surgery, and that Vitamin C one is preposterous if only because our society doesn’t really emphasize vitamins and minerals all that much anymore—but I can definitely say…
I’m really glad you reported on this, because I finally got around to downloading it. I really love the atmosphere, and while I’m disappointed there won’t be a proper game anymore, I enjoy the demo for what it is! I don’t know why Konami can’t just leave it be.
Maybe I’m being “that guy,” but after all this talk about how difficult this game is, that battle doesn’t seem...all that unreasonable? Maybe I’ve sold myself short and should check it out!
