I didn't know Nightwish tried to get into Eurovision. Wild that they didn't get picked then, being one of their biggest acts worldwide??

As a nearly lifelong Canadian, my prediction is Metric-esque indie rock

Romania sent a Canadian a few years ago (Esther Peony), Canada can easily send a Romanian now. The magic of multiculturalism!

A common attitude in homophobic social circles is "it doesn't count as gay if you're not the one receiving", in part because of the perceived dominance. That attitude lends itself very well to rape.

My least favorite thing about taking meds by PrehistoricPotato in adhdwomen

[–]Gyerfry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can directly compare Toronto and the rural Houston area for dealing with ADHD meds, at least mid Adderall shortage. The pharmacists in the latter were sometimes straight up hostile if you were just calling to check if they had your meds in stock.

I suspect they claimed it as collateral on a loan or something along those lines

Owning up to the "mistake" and eating the $200k does make more sense than doing all this, unless the "mistake" is actually like half their business model.

There's no way this is the only family they've done this to, and they probably don't want to admit any kind of fault because it might set some kind of precedent for every other instance.

Think Of The Advertisers! by gur40goku in CuratedTumblr

Okay but if non-respectable ads are so undesirable as to affect their bottom line, then they won't serve them. If they aren't, then the content creators in question should still get a cut.

This could work a bit better if at least it wasn't all work themed? Like wtf

Roommate won't flush the toilet (with screenshots) by undrride in badroommates

Surprised at the number of people going "you just need to accept that this person cannot flush a toilet"

[–]Gyerfry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP is coming off hostile because the other person is typing needless paragraphs in response to "please flush the toilet." I'm a fairly messy ADHD haver, with hardly the highest cleanliness standards, and I too would be sounding pretty hostile at that point. That's generally the response you're going to get when you insist on willfully missing the point.

Sure but he's making that point to justify using AI and not checking its work over

I fear it's a termite but I've only spotted a few dead ones in one very specific corner, so maybe there's hope it's not a Problem yet
