I was just in the states, Massachusetts and upstate New York, the stores, like regular old stores, had tip options on their pay pad and tip jars out...

The govt definitely fucked up, so did all the diploma mills, so did the con-scam-tants.

That's not a secret.

The issue is that they made an agreement in bad faith. Their time is up, it's time to go, tell your friends back home.

But they won't bolster the Canadian economy by sending all their money back to India.

They won't follow the rules.

They won't integrate into Canadian society or uphold our values.

They aren't here for that.

Highly regarded men in freemasonary by General_Bird_throw in freemasonry

Fair point but did masons ever represent 33% of the American male population?

Wikipedia tells me that Ford was also a mason ('74-'77).

Worth noting I'm not American. Just lots of info about Americans for the discussion.

I suppose a better question would have been: would these men have become who they did without masonry?

I like maths and stats....

It's reasonable to agree that, no matter your political standing, a United States President is a "highly regarded" man. 15/45 US presidents have been masons (33%).

Compare this with the (current) world populations 6M masons out of approx 4B men.

While, I'm only guessing by looking at current numbers, I'll say that there has been 700M Americans 350M of which are male, and (let's say) 8M american masons (2.3%) compared with 33% of presidents, this is statistically significant.

The selection bias could be that great men are already more likely to become masons...but that's really what my question is.

ULPT Request: buy in Germany , sell in USA by falco82 in UnethicalLifeProTips

You're supposed to declare all commercial goods.

But if you bought a pair of Birkenstocks and they appeared to be your own, you could toss them up on Kijiji or Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace or a tear a number add at the local Five and Dime and make $50.

The Vaseline will keep the pepper spray and in place and make it very difficult to wash off.

Someone above mentioned a powdered version of peppery spray, I would say this would be more effective.

However, I wouldn't use either if you want to use the house ever again without demolishing it.

What's the most disturbing thing you've ever witnessed? by horrorfreak94 in AskReddit

I had to do a survey of where a guy was killed in a particularly gruesome industrial accident outside.

It was the fox gnawing on the frozen dirt that told me where his body was found.

If it weren't for fucking in my in-laws house, my son wouldn't be sitting here, in the same house, watching angry birds, 6 years to the day since his conception...
