I feel like much of the world is pretty indifferent... people have negative feelings but they have their own regional geopolitical issues that don't concern the US... I mean how often in your day does Russia come up as a topic? A few places are legitimately worried about a US invasion but otherwise life goes on.

I think the only way customers will move is if a small chain can compete with McDonalds price-wise for the same market segment, and offer a better experience, while of course preserving their wage system.

As it is right now, this burger chain just doesn't have the same customer base as McDonalds.... it's like American…

Phillip Pullman trilogy, starting with the Golden Compass... they're really great with a positive message.

It's like the Texas of Germany... farm and country-accents stereotypes galore.

Academic fan-base: living the dream.

That's really awful... it's not often, but I've had a few times where I've felt unsafe on the BVG from drunk people or rowdy groups. I don't know what their security situation is like, but especially at night it seems like you hardly see any transit employees around.

The culture surrounding the wall and the memory of…

This is a bit of a low blow maybe... but I wonder if the article in question got cross-posted to Kotaku? The comments sections for their articles regarding anything related to gender are crazy, and they've spilled over before through Kotaku cross-posting Gawker or Jezebel articles.

I'm not sure how they compare to the American laws, but the provincial offence in Canada for street-racing is a fine up to $10, 000 in addition to license-destroying implications that will make his insurance insane in the future. The criminal side (which can be pursued by the federal government in addition to the…

A few years back Canada's drone program wasn't very good- it lost a bunch a in Afghanistan from mechanical failures and I don't think it actually has a regular fleet, just test versions.

Heck, the front-loaders that cost several million dollars to blow up might have even been bought by NATO development efforts to construct civilian things in the first place. :/

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…
