The unlikelihood of that very specific example notwithstanding, this is indeed why every Canadian does this, and every Canadian is advised to do so when spending much time abroad.

Shockingly, even if you buy a map when in a city/country you've never been to (hell, even if you know the city and don't need one,) it is…

The flag on your backpack while traveling is commonly advised because so many people in Eur... well, every corner of the world... have varying levels of vehement distaste for Americans.

I had no idea until relatively recently that Americans care about hockey less than we do (well, maybe this is because I personally…

I don't really know that I suggested that notion, confused by your comment.

It's true that she bears no fault or even much influence in the diamond necklace affair, and she actually got in trouble with the public and palace for not being conspicuous enough in her consumption (reducing her personal staff from some ridiculous number in the thousands to a smaller ridiculous number in the…

Really true about Kate Winslet. She has the perfect hit of imperfect relatability while also being very gorgeous and extremely talented. Her red curly hair and curvier body were perfect for the role and to resonate with young women.

You wrote an awfully long piece without addressing that the Le Vian guy said they're called chocolate diamonds in part due to their "flavor." What the hell is up with that?

It is weird, but ceremonial headgear goes way beyond just monarchs

I think he's totally right, but he is a bit sleazy because he could be putting his money where his mouth is (and he has no fucking money, if he wasn't an idiot he would have shaken up his business in the ways he's talking about back when they stopped making money 5 years ago) and instead he's talking "off the record"…

I realize the gravity of my statement when I declare that one of the dumbest things he's done was not selling out in 2008. His personal reputation has never been much better than it is now, but the company was really exciting and bankable for a little while before it rapidly wasn't. They're main look was over and they…

I just hate it when people in positions of privilege and power attempt to affect change with that position. Fucking offensive. Don't they realize it's more important that we, as marginalized peoples, use our own abilities to "save" ourselves? Our feeling of personal agency is far more important than the actual goal.

Th…

I'd marry Miles. I assume he's the funniest one, what with that crack about these three being the hottest working actors.

It seems like if you play your murderer/spouse cards right, you could get to fuck both your husband AND your murder victim. Resourcefulness.

An online profile that was full of clumsily expressed hatred and real criticism of strangers who hadn't interacted with him in a way he would desire. "All you hotties need to get over yourself and attached other pictures when demanded etc etc" with specific diatribes aimed at users from all over who hadn't lived up to…

Worth noting that a solid 1/4 of people probably experience agitation and high heart rate after smoking weed. I know tons of people who have no problem with weed and wish they could partake, except that it makes them CRAZY PANTS. The people who lovingly partake also become sedated, and would likely become wobbly if…

THREE OF THESE THINGS ARE NOT LIKE THE OTHER. Being nice is a relevant defense against accusations of being not nice (insulting the looks of a child, or anyone for that matter.) Being nice is not a very good defense against brutal felonies.

Really just making fun of the absurd and unjust truth that the white superstar is untouchable even when they have a search warrant and his house in full of drugs. As regular plebian white men, we doubtless would not be treated with such leniency (sidebar: especially considering that we're anglos in Montreal, which…

Excuse your highhorsemanship, I do know that.

I think that you are replying to the wrong person, as thats basically what I had said.

Your outrage, or lack of, has nothing to do with whether the image is racist and exploitative.

I wonder if people who think that believe that a more natural progression to a constitutional monarchy (the impossibility of which I blame purely on Alexandra - quite unlike Marie Antoinette, she deserves every ounce of blame for the catastrophe as can be placed at her feet. She was deservedly hated) was the…
