And even in an exaggerated/lightened for cheesy humour kind of way, it highlights real issues that northern communities face, as well as some parts of Inuit culture.

I truly cannot understand why Israel make people lose their minds. Replace "Israel" with "China", for example, and no one would beat an eye.

Personally, I'm in favour of "mamsir", which is the obvious compounding of "ma'am" and "sir". The Internet tells me it's used in the Philippines, but I could have sworn I first heard of it being used in India 🤷‍♀️

The first episode was just set up. The entire rest of the season is the actual show.

Hey, thanks. I wrote that response to be jokey, and I didn't expect an actual, useful reply in return. I will check that out, thank you.

Oh, I can recognize good code from code that works... I'm just not skilled enough to produce the former. (Does that put me ahead of most people by default?)

If I know someone is a terrible person, I can't enjoy their work. Besides not wanting to financially support them, I like to put myself in an author's, actor's, writer's shoes when I watch/read stuff.

That said, I don't purposefully look into people's lives; I'm not into celebrity gossip. But sometimes a person is such an outlier or just so vocal about it that it's unavoidable.

It seems a probable case is she misunderstood or misheard what was being said to her as "she needs to finish the drink" and complied with the request she thought was being given to her.

Heck, even as a hearing person, if someone told me I can't have an open beverage in a space (alcoholic or not), finishing it seems like a reasonable way to be rid of it.

Good God, of all the ways one could gamble, this sounds like playing Russian roulette with five bullets loaded in the revolver.

Thanks for articulating it this way for me. It's the hypocrisy that gets me, at least in my situation. I reported my boss to the directors. He was (still is) planning to cut a guy from our team, claiming he costs too much. But when I did the math, I found that my boss' personal expenses on food, gas, phone, vehicle, etc. (with increasingly unaccounted-for amounts) are more than that guy's pay.

My boss isn't worried about the financial health of the organization, he's worried he won't be able to keep spending it on himself if he has to pay the workers.

Get rid of time change. Have a referemdum for Standard or Daylight, then stick to it.

These people would be surprised how many people have preserved multiple portraits of Hitler and hidden away in their homes and shops. I'm talking about stamp collectors. There were very many stamps issued with Hitler's gave on them, and very many casual to dedicated collectors own at least one.

Having a shrine to Hitler is not fine. Owning historical items in context is totally fine. Authentication and appraisal is a normal part of insuring any kind of collection.

The real issue is not that a politician has one Hitler-related item amidst a wider collection of rare, historical items, but that someone who is independently wealthy and can spend millions of disposable dollars on a hobby is representing "the people" in a time of rising unemployment, affordability crisis, housing crisis, cuts to essential services, etc.
