Surely you are not naive enough to believe that corporations would bother if they weren’t making a profit from using prison labour? In terms of a fair wage (the bulk which you don’t think should actually go to prisoners but to other public or private rehab programs; let’s wait and see how long it would take one of…

Sorry, but no. Work done by prisoners should never be used to make a profit. Otherwise, why not just throw the whole labour pool in jail? Now, if you want to recoup the public cost of jails there are plenty of ways to do that that do not make private companies richer and contribute to society: i.e. cleaning the…

This is pretty much why those of us without cars are always pressuring the medium-sized city councils to throw some of the loose change lying around after investing in massive traffic insfrastructure to put in some bike lanes or invest in LRT (the latter of which ends up mostly being recouped by fares once the…

Thank you! Watching this only confirms that there is absolutely nothing that separates this from other awards claptrap, I get it for things that look like accidents or a really political speech that someone was basically dragged off of the stage for, but this is exactly the kind of banter that the VMAs would go for?

I beg to differ about not talking to strangers! In kupe I’ve had some silent rides, but in platskart not once (out of many times)!

Ya I’ve done the 2-nighter ones before (Kazan-Novosibirsk and Novosibirsk-Irkutsk) and they are a bit much! Especially if the people on the first level hog the tables :P Kupe is always more convenient, but *all* my best stories are from platskart! ;)

OMG say it ain’t so! I freaking love Platskart. Once I got hammered with this Russian metal band on a platskart trip from Kiev to Moscow, and the train official came by and acted like he was going to kick me off the train but then was like (translation from Russian) “psych! You are the coolest woman on this train!”…

Never said he did; read my message again more attentively pls

I don’t know if anyone has already said this downthread, but it’s relevant that he also was a Celebrity Apprentice runner-up. Trump is probably hitting up all of his Celebrity Apprentice stars to try and guilt them into endorsing him

Pfffft I get this for free waiting for the bus in -35 degree celsius weather for what feels like half the year in Canada. Who knew I was enjoying such an exquisite luxury this whole time? Going to drink my Timmies coffee with one pinky out while shivering through the blizzards this year

Ha. The timing is admittedly different than the most infamous allegation Ford initially denied (there was a faster turnaround on some of the other denials he was called out on) but the manner is the same.

Do the marriages have to be first-time marriages? Because I imagine there would be a higher proportion of second, third, etc. marriages after 30 . . . which might skew things because someone who gets divorced once or more may be more likely to get divorced again for a number of reasons

You missed the best part: That the mayor of Toronto did think Kanye was Canadian and did a pretty funny Rob Ford-esque backtrack when corrected. “I won’t say that I spend every single night at home listening to his music but you know what, I’m smart enough to know that a lot of people do, and I’m smart enough to know…

don’t waste valuable brain cells on Lululemon’s nonsense. They are high off of the ink from rolling up and smoking the pages from “Atlas Shrugged”

I can confirm the second one . . . I lived with some basic bitches in a university house share once and their Lululemon poster in the bathroom said that on it. Other treats are “live near the ocean and inhale the pure salt air that flows over the water. Vancouver will do nicely,” “you never know what small mineral…

Look, I’m not aiming to pick apart what you are saying or anything but you are just not making much sense at all. $1,000 is a number many feel to be a reasonable limit to pay for a bag, and 2x that is a big difference on that limit. Your “point” that people think any number more than the maximum they would…

$2k is literally 100% more than $1k. Only possible way that wouldn’t be significant is if you are saying that you wipe your ass with thousands and only pause to consider six digit numbers

you are too kind with these MRA-jargon-spewing delusional douches, but it’s great fun to see you eviscerate them by just actually making sense XD

So true. Here in Canada I’ve seen the pork industry reps come to parliament year after year to argue that the consistent decline in market demand is a temporary blip and they just need a few more hundreds of millions of dollars to ride them out until they’re in the clear. As a pescetarian, it drives me completely up…

this is so on-point; wish I could give it repeat stars ******
