I can understand that. I am from Quebec, where we periodically have anti-English, separatist provincial governments. Most recently, they advocated a charter of vales designed to persecute Muslims (with bonus persecution of religious Jews and anyone with religious garb), and sought to further limit Anglophones. At the…

Yeah. I mean, I am actually more worried about him being in charge of the US army and nuclear weapons arsenal, and him starting wars, and him affecting global environmental policy. Worst comes to worst with visas, I can return to Canada. Those other things are inescapable.

I’ve been so worried about this possibility for months. When applying for jobs, I had an interview with Tesla and another job offer. I took the other job and cancelled the interview with Tesla and a huge factor was that Tesla was only offering a TN visa, which is based on NAFTA, which Drumph threatens to bail on. I’m…

My worst roommate used my scissors to trim his pubes. I know this because I found them in a pile of pubes in the shower. He also used my laptop without my permission. The idiot did nothing to cover his tracks; in fact, he downloaded tons of CCR songs, infecting my computer with malware. I was pretty upset because it…

I never read the books, but caught the last 30 minutes of the movie on TV a few weeks ago. All I saw was this woman in a relationship with a dangerous man. She realized that he was abusive, and then she broke up with him. The acting was bad, and the pacing stilted, but it was a pretty happy ending. I’m sad it doesn’t…

I bought a skirt-kini at Target. It is awesome because no waxing is required.

I actually think Michiganders do as best as can be expected, given the pervasive lack of snow tires. Still terrifying when you combine all the slipping and tail-gating I saw though. Maybe it was just Ann Arbor/Detroit? #NotAllMichiganders. ;P

OMG! And Michigan! I’ve spent enough time in both places to know driving there is terrifying. Michiganders scare the crap out of me though. In addition to being hyper-aggressive on highways, they think they know how to handle snow, but they DO NOT. I remember a light dusting that caused tons of traffic and I saw two…

Reading your comment made the image pop into my head. I keep thinking of all the things they could have done that would have been more creative. It’s disappointing. I guess this is why I don’t read magazines.

Yess! It would have been amazing to see her in a maternity, business suit. I’ve never seen such a thing in any context. I bet, she could look super good with a tight pant and a fitted white shirt and an open jacket. It would so contrast with the collective vision of mothers, and also preconceived notions about her…

I like that they specifically go against the belief that men innately have better leadership qualities.

Oh jeez. Do you really think they do that? I thought aerospace was so conservative they’d never get away with it. At least with engines, I thought the manufacturer does the maintenance. Plus, I heard that many components have sensors that detect failures and auto-report to the third-party maintenance company. I saw…

On the one hand, I get you; I hate when I’m passing a slow-poke and a real zoomer comes up and pressures me to speed up. However, I try to get into the right hand lane ASAP for the zoomer. I do this because of what I learned from attending a bunch of lectures on traffic flow modelling. Clumps of cars really increase…

I thought I’d be the only one to suggest these! My favourite is Red Velvet, which looks like it’s one shade away from Spotlight. On my last trip to the states I made my husband detour to a Wallgreen’s (or Rite Aid?) and bought four.

I am in love with Wet n Wild’s Red Velvet shade of Megalast Lip color. It is 1/10th the price of some lipsticks others are recommending and it stays SUPER well. I wore it on my wedding day, and never had to re-apply. I love that it gives a nice, matte finish and is not remotely sticky but does not overly-dry my lips.…

I don’t think stars do it, but there are online services that do exactly what you’re asking for. My friend got her wedding dress off an AliExpress shop this way. You just have to make sure that the store has good reviews and budget for alterations at a local seamstress.

Lol! I am very pleased whenever I get to exclaim “what is this, a ___ for ants?!”
I understand the willingness to comply with the fashion industry demands. I was sample size as a teen, and had two aunts in the fashion industry. They would periodically get leftover samples and overstock and give them to me. I was…

I feel like this should appear verbatim on Lifehacker tomorrow.

I know. This article really reminded me of

This is what I’ve always thought. I never had AC as a kid, and never felt overheated except for on the 1-2 days when the temp went above 30C. As an adult, I spend most of my summers stuck inside offices with the AC so cold that I perpetually have goosebumps. Now, I feel overheated when it reaches 25C, which used to be…
