Preferred term for a lot of US groups tbh, but I kinda wish the First Nations terminology would catch on here.

Anyone who doesn’t love poutine hasn’t had good poutine. Especially when you’re drunk.

When I went to France and said I was from Minnesota, they said “Oh, vous nagez sous la glace!”

If Calgary is indication, then no, not really. There are like five black people in Calgary and they’re all fresh off the boat from the motherland. I get the impression the eastern provinces are different, though.

Midwesterner here. I think this sounds like us tbh. Sounds like something we would do.

Yeah, I got asked that about Canada when I was studying up there by my American student loan agency, whether we had the Internet. Dude what

Yeah, I clicked on this article wondering if this particular group was in jeopardy. I guess not?

I think it was Lex Luthor I recall having asked, “Do you know how much power I’d have to give up to be President?” Seems appropriate here as well.

What he looks like is Grumpy Cat as a human.

I don’t think people here are going to fight you on moving towards a more rehabilitative approach on this or any other crime. But we’re not choosing between that and punishment right now, because most rapists get neither.

Seriously. It’s a very plata o plomo kind of tactic, man, and nobody thinks of it as particularly consensual when the narcotrafficantes use it.

Just because the current generation of elderly is conservative overall in the US by no means makes this a natural feature of aging. When Depression survivors were alive in number, at least economically they were much more liberal, for instance. Also, tell that to Bernie Sanders. Or my parents, for that matter. I think…

I’m saying this as a Minnesotan, dude. This is not a particularly geographically distant disdain, nor is it intended towards Midwestern cities as a whole; Omaha’s not that far from DSM and Omaha’s a fun town. Cedar Rapids is a lot smaller than Des Moines, but has a lot more going on. Des Moines is a special kind of…

I don’t think anybody would argue that Des Moines is the height of human culture either.

This is a good post

I mean, I feel like there are analogous risks to a romantic marriage, where you meet someone else and want to bail. So I think that’s kind of a wash. Anyways, I guess I’m thinking of the Boston marriages they used to have like 100 years ago. This was a thing, at least for women.

Also makes immigration decisions a lot cleaner

Am I the only one who’s kinda here for this? Like, as a single 29 year old, looking in at the outside at like everybody coupling off, there’s this cultural expectation that friendship doesn’t count on the same level. Fuck that. Marrying your bestie should be a thing. That bond counts.

I think the punch line here is that Satan probably has pretty good legal support.

“Contraceptive app” sounds like a fantastic way to talk shit about someone’s favorite video game. Think the World of Warcraft crowd.
