Lebanon, Kuwait Poised to Ban ‘Barbie’ for Promoting Homosexuality
  • Yeah honestly as a gay woman myself I thought there wasn't enough LGBT representation. Apparently there are two barbies who kiss on a couch at one point but it was so quick I didn't see it, my friend had to tell me about it. There really wasn't a lot of any sort of sexuality in the movie. Which makes sense, they don't have genitalia.

  • Probably New Zealanders too.
  • Hey speak for yourself, I was forced into French immersion school by my parents with promises of good government jobs. Now I can understand French but Quebecois is a whole different beast 😂

  • I like the web app more.
  • As far as I've read, that price is for both no ads and Ultra which I guess gives you more perks). For just no ads it is significantly less. For no ads in my version it's $30CAD, which is a high price but is much much less than $100+CAD

  • Their slaughtered brethren.
  • My ex thought the only way to get llama wool was to kill the llama. For some reason, this logic only applied to llamas, she understood sheep wool didn't require the same sort of blood sacrifice.

  • How to measure things like a Canadian?
  • That's interesting, I know the one I have now can go between the two and is just defaulted to F, but growing up the one in my childhood home only showed F. I never really understood the numbers in relation to the temp either, I just would notch it up or down a few degrees depending on how cold I was 😂

  • How to measure things like a Canadian?
  • So here (and maybe it's just my family?) I've always seen the home thermostat set in F, while the weather outside is strictly C. So like my house is set at 70f but if I were talking about outside I'd use C. Which is funny because the thermostat in F also means nothing to me, I just notch it up or down a few degrees depending on how cold I am in the winter 😂😅

  • How to measure things like a Canadian?
  • Ontario checking in, 100% accurate. Actually I would add home temperature (like the thermostat) under F, but body temperature (like checking if you have a fever) under C. Also we're so used Americans using miles for distance/speed we'll sometimes use it in idioms ("They ran out of here at 100 miles per hour!”). I never realized this change between measuring systems wasn't the norm until I started chatting with Europeans.

  • Village Harvest
  • You're right, I think of all his paintings of farm workers, its most similar to The Red Vineyard in Arles but like you said there are quite a few.

    Farm workers and peasant life became a fairly popular topic for artists mid 19th to early 20th century, as popular culture moved away from the idealistic art of flowery Rococo portraits to realism, and then to impressionism (with other isms in between of course).

  • How many ads I block since I stopped using Reddit
  • Yeah I've had YouTube premium for a long time, and I don't mind paying for it, but the fact half the people I follow are getting copyright claimed (unfairly) or taken down is really a huge bummer. It's been hitting the true crime & film review communities particularly hard. I'm hoping more of my fave creators start using Odyssee or rumble because I don't really like supporting a platform who treats their creators like shit.

  • Modding rule
  • It's even worse with The Sims. I remember when I was in highschool, and an avid sims 2/3 player, I found this mod that would remove the pixels from the sims when they're naked. Of course the sims by default had no genitals, and being a hormonal teenager I also downloaded a mod that would fix that issue.

    Because of how modded content for the sims is, a lot of the times the download sites are just link aggregators, so to download a mod you'd be sent to a different site that actually hosted the file. Downloading the naked mod led me down a rabbit hole to a site called sexysims3.com (or something like that) that had just... Every type of sex/porn mods you could think of.

    From giant dongs to incest, it was all there.

    I was pretty horrified and noped out of there pretty quick, and cleared the browser history because it was a shared family computer.
