AKA, “Engineer’s Disease.”

I haven’t read the Guardian piece, but the arc of this story is very particular to the urban-rural divide. Vancouver Island is huge and 90% uninhabited (but 90% industrialized). Victoria metro is a city of 400 thousand people. Urbanites tend to be liberal, animal-loving types. Outside of the city it’s all rednecks who…

Prolapse. Some people really make their living doing that on camera.

I love stuff going into my butt, but I’d prefer that nothing that was in there to begin with come out, thankyouverymuch.

Why did you chose Findland for comparison and not Germany (83m), England (55m) or France (67m)? All of these countries have largely public universal healthcare. France’s is the best in the world according to the WHO, and all of them spend a little over half what the US spends. China, with 3x the population and way…

rich and most businesses is going to drive up prices on goods and increase the cost of living

I’m a Bernie supporter (and a Canadian, so it doesn’t matter anyway) but it is absolutely bullshit what the media and various Party organs are doing to this race, particularly to women and non-white candidates.

You know what’s dumber than voting for people just because they’re black? Discriminating against them because they’re black.

There’s a couple lies right there in your (bad-faith) question.

You know those little memorials you see by the road where someone has done something stupid and paid for it with their lives?

This is how you get one of those.

You’re missing the point. The Sanders campaign is trying to describe the constitution of Warren’s base: she’s preaching to the converted. You can complain all you want about how they measure these things — all classifications are problematic —but it has nothing to do with education being a “liability.”

I honestly don’t understand why nonbinary isn’t the norm. Gender norms, especially those promoted by the media and advertisers, as so damn strict how can anyone identify with them?

It’s Scientology, basically.

Every year on the northwest coast, we get a few short spells of cold(-ish) clear weather. That’s when all the old men ride their bikes — in shorts.

If this is a real phenomenon at all, I guarantee it has less to do with “taste” and more to do with learning how to utilize a new food resource. The “taste” thing was really just a way for moronic hick old-timers to make themselves feel better about their cowardice re: wildlife, by imputing some kind of savage evil…

Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation!

It’s funny, as a Canadian arriving in California for work, I’m like, “what happened to all these womens’ lips? Is there something in the water?”

Turns out, there is: PATRIARCHY.

So don’t. Reasonable people will, but you’re under no such constraints.

Everyone: Haha! Those are gross!

Also everyone: * buys millions of pairs *

If he’s anything like my dad (he doesn’t look much worse), Phil’s yelling “SLOW DOWN” and they haven’t even started moving yet.

Not to pile on, but Canada’s Indian Act was literally one of the inspirations for South Africa’s Aparteid system, and it’s still in force. We have zero moral high ground here.
