I actually disagree. By leaving the second hand market intact, you’re indirectly supporting them. Someone else won’t be able to buy that second hand copy, so they’ll buy it new. That would only work if people were willing to wait years before they bought it, and someone who’s just jumping right in is still helping…

Madonna? You’re going to bring Madonna up as someone who got noticed without doing dumb over the top stuff?

Murder isn’t permitted, no, but the laws have allowed some ridiculous defenses that let people get away with murder. Gay/trans panic is a legal defense allowed in many places, and while it doesn’t seem to get people off the hook entirely, they usually end up with manslaughter instead of murder and a hate crime (to my…

The Chairman thinks he’s right. I doubt he’d back down on a decision he thinks is the right one, no matter how much criticism there is.

I think it might be a good thing. The USA has its head in the sand about how many of these violent acts are taking place.

Don’t you... you know, have to touch it to get it out? I mean, I really hate tampons, but on the few occasions I’ve used them, I’m pretty sure I had to touch the bloody cotton when I removed them.

Much as I’d love to see a moon base created by any nationality, Russia couldn’t manage a decent terrestrial Olympic village in 2014. Yeah, they’ve got 14 (to 24?) years to do it, but they had something like 6 years for the one on earth... I just don’t see it happening. But good luck to them!

.... I... wow... someone willing to say what they actually feel— that they’re not sad for the deaths of police and veterans as long as those deaths are in furtherance of their Christian-sharia style cause. They’re glad to speak in favor of terrorism, just like Daesh is.

Well, I’d say that copying a design directly is probably crossing a line. I think Disney would have successfully sued if that had been a cartoon mouse...

Oh, phew! I read Missing’s post and got nervous! *will not give up Canadian citizenship for anything*

Maybe I have Fallout on the brain, and maybe it just shows how easy it is to make these memos, but... this seriously feels like it’d be right at home on some terminal in the Commons...

An IRS notification would make sense, but it seems to me that the agencies don’t really communicate very well. Anyone who was following the rules could get physically booted pretty quickly, since the government requires us to say where we’re living— any move has to be reported within ten days or you could get thrown…

They have asked to see my green card, not my drivers license, so that they can make a photocopy of it and send it to lawyers (or whatever) for verification that it actually is a valid green card and to have it on their records, and while I’ve not had it long enough for it to expire, I had certainly assumed that if I…

Most households are not equitable in terms of tasks. Women do the majority of the household work and childcare, so have less free time if they’ve got a job, thus men are likely in a better position to give the time they have. That’s all I’m saying with that.

Back when I were a lass... The ladies volunteering for the Girl Guides (Canadian version) in my experience were older retired women who no longer had families of their own. They were really nice women and all, and generous with their time, but they really didn’t have the ability to keep up. What happened was that the…

Then why not show the paperwork that you filed to get a new one?

I’m confused as well. This sounds like a perfectly normal thing to require...

I read this yesterday and thought it was an Onion article. Still have no idea why Breitbart was bothering to advertise to me, lol.

Wait, wait.

Or dementia. Old people can get really weird.
