Seriously... when you think about how much money these mandatory quarantining procedures most cost, versus the aid that wasn't sent early in the epidemic.

As someone from one of those communities in the GTA, I can also say that the "Uh how do you pronounce that name?" thing also applies. :)

Don't feed the trolls... I mean seriously, your argument is the one the authorities considered; it's sad, but given that healthcare workers have been infected from people in quarantine, it's just irresponsible to quarantine an animal. I'm a dog lover and grew up with them, and I think there is alot of dangerous ebola…

I think timing can be a big factor... like for example I was at a potluck this week that happened early on a weeknight, and so I did not have time to cook for an hour between work and the event, and yeah me and alot of people just brought a bottle. Sunday nights early I've had the best luck, I think because then you…

Benzoyl Peroxide- depending on which country you live in, there's the Clearasil you can just buy from Duane Read, or you may need to visit the doctor and get a prescription for said face lotion (Canada, maybe other countries).

Also make sure the soap you're using isn't too harsh. It's always a balance, and like I'm…

Nah- you trusted your first instinct, and that's the right call. If it was borderline racist, you really don't want that associated with your name: the internet has a long memory, and it realistically could very much affect whether a future client considers you for a job. Professionally and morally it definitely…

I think "feminism" is a pretty broad label these days... I know the specific argument of "men can't be feminists because they don't experience the struggle" was a particular school of second-wave feminism, and but feminism as it presently functions isn't a unified movement: there are feminists who would continue to…

Not sure how to read it, but is it possible that their "new pronunciation" actually makes it sound more like the German pronunciation?

You also wonder, like who doesn't look/feel terrible after an 8 hour transatlantic flight?

Yeah, Turkey is also viewing a Kurdish state in Iraq as a potential buffer zone between them and crazy stuff. As for Syria... I mean it's kind of understandable that Turkey is reluctant, given that there's still an ongoing civil war involving chemical weapons, and Assad has a real conventional army with anti-airpower…

It's your house, and given that you still have panic attacks- it's entirely reasonable to deny someone who could trigger those, especially if you think he's going to be picking fights. On the other hand- I feel like at a family gathering you kinda have to give people a pass on politics... it never ends well, and…

Be honest- did they send down on a boat to search for the previous company man, "Captain Curtis" who went missing a few months before?

In fairness you don't have to go far outside a city for the jeans thing. I visited NJ for the first time, and hour from NY, and 10 minutes after stepping off the train someone made a comment about skinny jeans.

Don't open bill_paxton's picture; it's a graphic image of a murder scene. He's been posting it all over- not sure how the "report" system works. :/

Don't open the image by bill_paxton; it's a graphic picture of a murder scene. Dismiss the comment. I'm not sure how the "report" system works here. :/

These things are a big roll-over hazard, and also they're so heavy that driving them around on pavement destroys roads.

I dunno about adding a plow, but maybe they have an "mine flail" you could add to the front, which could do the same thing?

Yeah I'm kinda surprised Chow is so far behind... I figured that she had built up alot of good-will with Layton and the NDP, but the suburbs being a part of "Toronto" means she's probably a communist to them.

I imagine different places are liberal in different ways... like a friend who immigrated from South America in the 80s was shocked at how conservative he perceived North American Catholics to be- because he was raised in the liberation-theology tradition where helping poor people was more important than protesting…

Everyone has an accent to someone... Canadian tv talk is more neutral, you still won't sound like one of our anchors. :)
