Not to pile on, but the big problem with this perception is that Germany did have a Nazi hate group that was killing immigrants recently, and the police did not investigate it properly because they thought it was an organized crime issue.

Of course Nazis and racists are incredibly stupid, but they can be sophisticated…

This is why when you let politicians plan arts, you get social realism or ballet dancers holding rifles and flags, public service announcements that future generations will find incredible for their camp value.

I guess it's the same problem as "Airbnb," where the savings come at the expense of insurance and regulation by municipal authorities... it seems like a super risky proposition for investors because these services could be (and in some areas are already) legislated into illegality at the drop of a hat.

I don't know about the UK, but I don't imagine they're so much as banned from Canada because of hate-speech laws (which they would likely break), as much as because countries can often make arbitrary border decisions- in Canada there are specific criteria for barring admission on "national security" grounds but also…

Not to be a buzzkill, but I wonder if perhaps your doctor could reccomend a better test for your money, that might give potentially medically helpful information. That stuff could be really good know, I know already in college my doctor was using my family history to run extra tests and things.

He originally typed "rendezvous co-ordinates" but then thought it might be too much.

B613 apparently doesn't have any overdraft protection.

Oh Vogue Italia... if you have to release it with a pre-prepared defense, it's not working.

I mean with modern professional grade cameras I think you would usually have options for adjusting the exposure between two subjects, even if you have to do it by hand... the problem with this and HDR (aside from the potential for uncanny valley HDR results) is that if you've got alot of photos they can't all be fixed…

Yeah, I think most Canadians probably can't tell the regional aspects of UK accents apart, so everything becomes "Downtown Abby" in an embarrassingly stereotypical way... but in this case it works in his favour? I think for sure having an Indian accent would disadvantage one in Canada versus say having a German…

I've lived abroad for a few years now, so my Canadian accent has softened, but I take pride in it's strange vowels.... although perhaps thats easier because in Europe it just becomes "exotic" instead of "hick."

On the plus side to your Minnesota, I will always find it warmer and more friendly than some of the slur-y…

Hey... at least we're not Australia though? #immigrationhorror

Canadians don't need to pre-file anything.... but they are also subject to the same rules about mere disclosure of drug use barring entry, but I think that only applies to the extreme super-minority of cases where a border guard is being a dick... it's come up recently with guards being extra suspicious of people…

I've heard of them getting Canadian tourists asking questions randomly like that...
"Do you have any marijuana?"
"No."
"Have you ever smoked marijuana?"
"Well.... a long time ago?"
*problem*

I think it mostly just depends on the guard you get though... I mean the vast super majority are not looking to make trouble for…

Aside from citizens not being denied entry... I think it just comes down to dick border guards. There are plenty of Canada-US and stories about people being turned away because of a possession conviction or some misdemeanour/summary from 30 years ago, and the Canadian ones apparently hold their ground in being equally…

I applied for a California grad school and they did basically that... "congrats, you have a 50K scholarship" ... on 100K total tuition.

Remarked a sarcastic German friend: "So they gave you a discount?"

It's pretty nuts... I mean I knew it was bad, but recently I was writing an essay and had to look up some of these stats, the Pratt Institute has a yearly tuition of something like 40K for it's well respected art programs. Yeah ok if you study something related to advertising and you're at the top of your class, there…

*SPOILERS

I mean yeah, the ending totally makes sense- HIMYM is a story about Robin and Ted and their group of friends and not outsiders, but it was never hinted at in any real way that Ted and Robin would eventually end up, infact they seemed to to the opposite, really clearing Robin out of the way to make room for…

You know, I actually really dug this ending alot... if only these two episodes had been the final season instead of the wedding.
