Philly restaurant bans GOP candidate after being told campaign stop was autism event
  • It wasn't an Autism awareness event, it was a campaign rally. They lied to the owner to be able to use the space. The store owner didn't give out sandwiches, the candidate did. The store owner also didn't ask them to leave, the pastor across the road did. This was all very clear from the words written.

  • Why do people keep asking where I'm from?
  • Personally when someone asks me where I'm from, I respond in order of:

    A) if I'm in my home city, I tell them the province I grew up in (because I came from a small town I would never expect anyone to know, if it was a big city I'd say that.)

    B) If I'm away from my home city in my home province, I tell them my home city.

    C) if I'm away from my home province, I tell them my home province.

    D) if I'm away from Canada I'll tell them I'm from Canada

    E) if based on context it seems they're asking about my ethnic background, I tell them I'm some kind of western/northern European mutt.

    Now obviously I'm white as hell and no accent, but OP is saying they're basically that as well, so I'm not sure why race would be the assumption for them either. I don't even know how I would respond if i asked someone at work where they're from and they answered Canada.

  • Are you cancelling streaming services?
  • I cancelled Netflix because I kept realizing I hadn't used it since the last time I had my kid. Disney is cheaper and has a huge library, and I keep Prime because I like the shipping and music perks as well.
