Third paragraph, first sentence.

I know someone who has participated in Talisman Sabre as a CAF member and ultimately it is a signal to China that they cannot quietly absorb other countries like Taiwan without the rest of the world knowing or acting. It is a not an act of war, it is an act of assertion of rights and boundaries for other countries who we are allied with, along with useful training for our military.

This is not a statement of right or wrong, just what one member has expressed to me as the purpose,

Yeah, at the start of a campaign sure. You hand draw something or find something existing. But at the end of a 20level campaign lasting 3-5 years, $60 doesn’t seem so bad to commemorate years of joy spent with friends. Hell, the pizza alone costs thousands over that same time span.

I allow them to feel fat while still demanding they provide evidence if they actually insist they are overweight.

I feel fat even when I’m in a healthy weight range; I think that is patriarchal social programming. I don’t think you can control how someone else feels. But when they start really getting down on themselves, I encourage them to either find evidence that they are overweight and then set goals to deal with it. Or, they can’t actually prove it (ie. They are healthy weight/waist) and then we deal with overcoming the social programming.

Not perfect, but it works for me and my partner. Mostly deals with accepting how we feel and making a plan about it.

I’m a bit shocked at the downvotes. The article brings up some valid criticism of how Carney treats people around him, even in the public eye, and how his actions are really speaking louder than his charming words of promise.

I literally had that experience in grade 2. The class was asked a negative numbers question, I answered the question correctly but the answer was “impossible”. I wasn’t reamed out but I was shut down hard so I wouldn’t confuse the other kids.

Then perhaps we all agree that quoting stats without the whole context present is misleading.

You could have written 47% opposed privatizing some of Canada Post, the larger percentage of that group. By choosing the smaller opinion group, you make it seem like the support for privatizing some of our public service is actually the more popular opinion, when it is not.

This gives me the giggles.

Amazing meme, 10/10, no notes.

Fair point. I’m speaking from a North American perspective, but others have pointed out they may be a native or long naturalized plant.

Ultimately, planting species that are from your local area is better for the native bees of of your area as they are adapted to them.

 

The Blue-grey Taildropper slug had it in him all along.
