Kids pick up language really quick. They would struggle at first, but be so much better off in the long run. Being multilingual opens up so much of the world to you, even by simply giving you another angle to look at it from.

You give enough! Money only goes so far, kindness lasts forever.

No, I say we all break off and fuck the rest of both countries. I love Canada, but out here we get the shit end of the stick. The West can survive on its own, especially if we add the 4 states mentioned and Yukon.

Yes. I’ve been slowly advocating for the west of North America to break away from the greedy East stuck in the past. We embrace the future on the west coast and we hold a lot of resources and links to the world through the Pacific. It’s about time we get what we deserve and stop being dictated to by the East Coast conservatives.

Bring in Alaska, BC, and the Yukon and we are golden! We’d hold some serious power if we could ever reach out and take it.

Seems there is a market for spoofing specific IP addresses out there. What if they don’t know you are not at home? I ha e no clue how any of this works…

Yes, I like the dark of nighttime more than the bright heat of daytime. Sue me, right?! Cool shit happens at night. Work happens during the day. And it’s hot and yech out. Sure you can show/see more flesh in the summer. Still can’t touch it, plus the surprise once you open the wrappings and see what’s underneath! Divine.

Actually most of us don’t want it at all, but try telling a politician that.

I am aware, I was alluding to the whole idea of it, which the city has taken the role of in this case. I believe it is ridiculous beyond maintaining house size for sanity sake. I get there is building code for things, why is there garden code? Stay out of my yard!!

HOAs in general and all the bs that goes with it like this “law” are a thing of the past and don’t reflect the current world we live in. Pristine manicured yards have caused problems across the globe for the underlying systems that keep the earth healthy and vibrant. We need to relearn how to live in the environments we find ourselves in, not cater them to our own self deluding fantasies of perfection.

Why give the new southern dictator concessions? Let’s talk embargo instead?!

I understand there are issues everywhere. Some forseen and some not, but rarely are they planned for in any eventuality. I do not work on any municipal levels, so can’t speak for that, but they’ve also tied people’s hands so trying to do literally anything costs more than the benefits they will provide in the end these days. Just look at the needed dredging that’s required to operate marine operations. Millions upon millions of dollars, ever 10-15 years. And permitting required up the wazoo. The problems do compound however, and the longer they are delayed, the costlier they get. I don’t know the solution, and it sure is nice that government wages kept up with inflation. Too bad the rest of ours didn’t…

I’ll bet a whole lot of Americans aren’t going either. Crashing the economy tends to do that you know. If people can’t afford to live, they likely don’t have any money to travel and gamble with, eh?!

How much does an MP or provincial politician make? Now what is the median income of a Canadian? They keep giving themselves raises and slashing services and delaying repairs and maintenance.

Maybe the money we pay the government in the form of taxes could go to things like I frastructure improvement and repair instead of insane salaries for public servants? Just a thought? Isn’t a government supposed to plan for these things? I do at my job managing a facility with lots of infrastructure…

Absolutely. Universities went from institution that’s taught you how to think outside the box to a place that teaches you how to fill positions at a lab/office/whatever. They don’t want you inventing the future, they want you filling their prescriptions or fixing their phones. It might lead into the old adage that those who don’t know how to do, teach? I don’t buy that, but still…

Bang on. Grifters go around finding someone who will agree with their grift. They didn’t ask any doctor, they asked one who would agree with them.

Oh yeah, 4 or 5th time seeing them 😎

I was at a NIN show last night, they still bringing it. No heresy, but we got Head Like a Hole.

She’s been out of school for too long. She probably a GP, which has a wealth of knowledge on all subjects but very little specific knowledge. Ask experts, not unqualified quacks.

Every day has two tidal flows, one usually being greater than the other. It’s science!
