There are three of us in the house, and I wash them weekly, more or less.

As for replacing them, I don't know what to say. We destroy towels in about ten years. My mom had towels that were 20-30 years old and as good as new.

Oh no, US producers are...WHINING! How ever will we cope?

For the record, Alberta is actually doing fuck-all to protect Albertan or Canadian spirits, because our premier is a Trump-loving separatist fuckwit.

Fucking Chinese "medicine."

Most English-spealking people outside the US said 'aught' instead of 'oh', but definitely about 2005 the 'two thousand and' syntax evaporated.

As an Albertan, I would do the same - but charge them for the ride.

I disagree with some of your thoughts here.

I don't see the separatists (meaning the separatist organizers) as lazy - they're disciplined, extremist, and quiet. Coinciding with Trump's victory last year, we've seen a huge upswell of hard-right conservative movements around the world, simultaneously attacking immigration and women's rights in relatively coordinated action.

It seems like they've been working in the dark for decades, and now are stepping out into the open for an all-out assault on the progress we've made.

Also, Kenney didn't lose the leadership. He said he'd stay on if he got a single vote above 50%, but then jumped ship with a 51.4% approval rating. He steered the party in the direction he wanted, and then handed the wheel to Smith to take the blame.

But you're absolutely right about money. There's a LOT of it feeding the separatist fuckwits, and I want to know where it's coming from. Is it the US government directly, or Musk for some twisted reason? Is it another government trying to destabilize the country? Oil executives? It's not primarily coming from Alberta, that's for sure.

I'm an old cis/het dude, and while I've occasionally fantasized about being a woman, it was entirely out of fascination with something else - not identity. I don't necessarily 'feel' male, but being female is incomprehensible to me.

Compare that with a dear family friend. When they were about 13, they announced that they were nonbinary; and two years later, decided they were transmasculine.

What was their trigger?

While presenting as nonbinary, they naturally got mistaken for either male or female. They realized that being mistaken for male was totally cool, but being mistaken for female hurt terribly. They identified with being male, and being female (their AGAB) felt abhorrent and wrong.

So if you don't have some part of your brain screaming "NO NO NO!!!" at you, you're likely an average, 21st century cis person whose ability to access infinite porn has dulled your sexuality a bit.

So don't worry too much.

I took a look at the site. "The Bureau" is a racist screed by one guy. It's not journalism, it's just fearmongering.

My wife got her masters degree last year, at age 58.

Fair enough, but my (old) house is all copper and steel plumbing, and it's all exposed from the basement. Been working on it 25 years, and while I hate the plumbing, I trust it.

The only connection I could find was her name - Erika - which was the name of a Nazi marching song.

This sounds like a typical AI slop non-answer.

Why does this video draw Nazis to it?

Calling the consequences "unintended" is debatable.

Like fuck they will.

Or they're part of a cult/gang like 764. Either way, police should be involved.

As many have said, this isn't a real thing. It sounds like she was trying to groom you. The comment about the other girl wanting to play with you boobs is reminiscent of the 764 group, who are dangerous, violent psychopaths.

Most importantly right now, GOOD FOR YOU for blocking her!

Secondly, you should report this to the cops. Please, PLEASE report this person!

Thirdly, if you did send her more than just a picture of your palm (i.e. and aren't telling us the whole story), don't be ashamed. Groomers are very good and very practiced, and can get past all logical defenses.

Your points are well taken, but it also incentivizes abandoning a losing party after an election - even if that party still represents the interests of the constituency.

The broader solution is to deeply gut the party system, starting with true proportional representation. Banning whipped votes would be ideal, but not possible to implement.

Technically, you can't.

Boulangere has no cream, only stock. Your scalloped potatoes are already made with cream.

I'm not sure I agree with your claim that 'floor crossing is an essential element of a healthy parliamentary democracy...'

Leaving a party that no longer represents the constituents should be alliwed, but I'd be happy if MPs were required to sit as independents for the rest of the term.

So then, fuck reddit? Even harder?
