soon, for no particular reason, he will retire from film and find himself in a prominent political position within the UK, spewing further idiocy upon the masses, oblivious to literally every other story line taking place around him. ughhh.

yup. this really sucks. i don’t know whether or not he did it ... at this point it doesn’t really matter. what he is facing is unimaginable.

i find it sad, too. i always think she looks amazing ... it’s a real bummer to realize that’s because she has been starving herself. blurgh.

The UK has a serious child sex abuse problem. Since moving here four years ago there has been some horrific sex story in the news literally every week. Grooming, trafficking, rape, you name it, some sick fuck is doing it. And no one really seems to mind. I can’t understand how this is still acceptable in a country…

CIC laws are really stringent. we allow sponsoring partners in a conjugal relationship buttt ... likelihood of approval is slim. you need to live with your spouse for 2 or more years to even apply and will then likely still need to live together for another 2 once approved if you aren’t married. plus the person…

yeah. we say “hey” on the west coast.

no. pretty much everyone in canada is a teacher. that’s why so many canadians leave to teach in the EU - it is really tough to find a teaching job in any major city in canada. they are always hiring in nunavut, though.

shhh. tell everyone and you’ll ruin it!!!!

Many may not have the documents required to get ID in the first place ... I don’t know what the requirements in the USA are but you often require a recent utility bill or bank statement to prove your name/address, a recent pay stub, a birth certificate, and sometimes more than that. There are plenty of people who do…

The Conservative party in Canada tried to do this as well, limiting voting rights mostly for younger and First Nations voters - key demographics they wanted to avoid coming out to vote. But they still came out in DROVES. Figure out what ID is required, spread the information about required ID far and wide, and…

I made a horrible error in buying a clock radio that only selects odd FM stations. That means I get BBC1 or BBC2 or Xfm. Nick Grimshaw (“Grimmy”) hasn’t said an original thing in his entire life and plays shitty pop music. BBC2 is for the almost-deads and plays pretty much exclusively Doris Day. And Xfm used to be…

squeeeee!!! she is the best! the BEST!

relevant, and i trend i wouldn’t mind catching on in politics: https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-z…

There’s actually some evidence that cursive is easier for kids to learn than printing is and helps with spelling - you can’t get letters like b and p as easily mixed up. Letters connect making it easier to know which way an ‘a’ should look, etc

i can’t understand this, either. i live in london and i hear and see racially insensitive behaviours every week. i live in a predominantly bengali neighbourhood and basically every time i tell a new person where i live i get some kind of gross remark about it being dangerous/too close to the mosque/over-run with…

oh good, another thing to have nightmares about.

this hair is FAR too elvira

I’d love to spend a lot of time exploring Scandinavia. I love it there, but it’s so expensive. Dream is to retire there. Maybe in Gothenburg (Sweden) or Stavanger (Norway).

I used to work with this person. “I can’t possibly go, I’m sooo busy” and then later complains how they never get to take their break. Either you are completely incompetent at your job, have horrible time management, are unable to follow simple instructions, or all three. Either way, not winning points, dummy!

Ugh, totally! I can only eat at my desk (and get interuppted incessantly) or try to find somewhere outside in the throng of people to sit and eat because there’s no lunch room.
