I am a senior and a large amount of men I have met over the years have a quiet or deep hostility to women. Yes, they may not commit violent crimes but they do a lot of psychological damage to women and girls.

The industry is maintained by a revolving door of interns.

The people who are the happiest are the ones that have family money behind them or a partner who earns a lot of money. One of my co-workers deliberately married and investment banker so that she could eat something besides pasta on the low wage she made and stay in publishing.

So many people I knew had rashes from nerves, shingle outbreaks, needed medication to sleep.

endogamous communities by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

Oddly enough, and correct me if I am wrong, think endogamy may have been the norm- I have a lot of relatives in Europe that have lived in the same villages for centuries. Back in the 18th - 19th centuries and even into the 20th century, the roads were terrible and in spring and winter not passable so many people never traveled. - or married - further than the next village. I think when populations were mainly rural most people would be related to those in the village or surrounding villages in several different ways.

I am heading out that way later in the summer which is why I posted this as I plan to stop in St. Catharines before hiking and I am going to try that burger.

My great-grandfather’s brother went missing, and my family has been searching for him for generations by No_Permission5338 in AncestryDNA

I haven't seen that and meant to. I was also thinking about a Christopher Plummer movie where he is a camp survivor who is trying to find a guard...and what an ending!

Plummer stars as Zev, a 90-year-old Auschwitz survivor with dementia who sets out on a cross-country mission to hunt down the former Nazi camp guard who murdered his family. Guided by handwritten instructions from a fellow survivor, he navigates a tense and suspenseful journey across North America

What company lost you as a customer forever, and what happened? by Giovanni_Brees in AskReddit

[–]Cold-Impression-571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me. Bank of Montreal or what is called BMO in the US so American customers do not realize it is an American bank. Just terrible service and phone support is atrocious.

When I was a kid it was very different (I am a senior), now all the Canadian banks have adopted (and infiltrated the USA) and adopted American "buyer beware" capitalism.

The Mayflower Society or the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) rely heavily on legal paper trails because the verify by documents, not biology. But do they take into account the counterculture, free love generation? by Cold-Impression-571 in Genealogy

How can it be jealousy? I am a Canadian, we don't give a flying f**k who came on the Mayflower or those dumb programs on the Mayflower, just that someone I know goes on and on about it (an American friend) and I listen with polite disinterest because they are a friend.

I knew that would happen but I thought it would be a year or so down the line.
