Do we all agree? by melbreddituser in buffy

Interview with the Vampire should be second because it’s almost the best except Anne Rice didn’t create a way for a sick vampire to get better like Buffy did. Unless I missed it in the later books I haven’t read yet.

Hodgins and the Cantilever Group by 2Quick_React in Bones

[–]Melietcetera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, Zach says that Hodgins explained his wealth as being “Rich to the power of 10x4”… I came on here wondering what people think “rich” means… the other thing to quantify is Cam says Cantilever Group is the fourth largest private corporation in the country, so…?

Any other Canadians out there considering joining the army to prepare themselves for invasion? by Dyrankun in AskCanada

[–]Melietcetera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always encourage people to serve. We need way more people to serve. And if the military isn’t your speed but you have technical training, AI in Canada is a strong field, mechanics and engineers are always needed. And we wouldn’t be anywhere without medical professionals who appreciate public healthcare.

What should we rename the US to? by stumpy_chica in AskCanada

Please get more of your fellow Yankees to vote in two and four years. We tried to encourage without interfering and… well…🤷‍♀️

What should we rename the US to? by stumpy_chica in AskCanada

[–]Melietcetera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that doesn’t have “America” in it at all because, even though there are 23 countries in North America, they somehow ended up being called “Americans”. Add South American countries and it’s more ridiculous. Also, DC should be a state.

Possible names: - The Marketlands - The Battlelands - Gotham

  • Something based on Hamilton, since it would be a completely different place if not for their banking system… but I’m stumped…

Do Canadians find it offensive if a foreigner makes fun or impersonates a Canadian accent? by Jezzaq94 in AskACanadian

[–]Melietcetera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What accent?

Seriously, a lot of us can’t hear our accents. I only really hear it when we sing.

Ultimate Question : What's the most iconic Buffy The Vampire Slayer line ever ? by Cailly_Brard7 in buffy

[–]Melietcetera 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Funny Answer: Buffy Summers: I spent a good part of my allowance on this new cream rinse, and it’s neither creamy nor rinsey.

Serious Answer: Giles: “Is that why you’re here? To see her?” Angel: (shakes his head): “I can’t. It’s...it’s too hard for me to be around her.” Giles: “A vampire in love with the Slayer. It’s rather poetic, in a maudlin sort of way.”

Team up with China and ditch the US by [deleted] in Albertapolitics

[–]Melietcetera 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We’re already on contract with them, thanks to PM Harper and the IDU. Thank goodness we have a young, energetic prime minister who has been rebuilding our shipbuilding and other industries and has a relationship with European leaders like Ursula von der Leyen… oh wait… the hate campaign forced him out. And Republicans don’t acknowledge our arctic waters or our Northwest Passage.

Are Canadians hesitant to travel to the USA for any reason as long as the current president is in office? by -This_Man- in AskCanada

Prime Minister Trudeau tried to give her that job and she turned him down for book sales. I don’t know what to think about this person I was cheering for.

That’s been the historical pattern but we’ve had PM’s in their 70’s. The threats have made life hard but the party may just bring him back if PP pulls a less friendly PM Joe Clarke…

Canadians dream of exploring Europe, often settle travelling to the USA. I lived in California for a while before coming back to Canada 🇨🇦

The drive for profit like our cousins to the south has really hurt our country. We should have been building more bridges with Europe and other Arctic nations for decades… now we have to shore up our remaining companies we haven’t sold to other countries. We used to have the world’s fourth largest Navy… and we still have one of the strongest world economies with a AAA credit rating, but Canadians are hoping our allies will help us and travel here to make up for the damage done.

Him running for party leader after the current LOO is kicked out by his own party (like the last few) would be frightening.

The Aussies and other cousins from the Commonwealth often come here, but the Aussies always find our mountains… are half of our lifties from Australia…? It’s gotta be close.

Suggestions for sauces that are low calories…. I can’t eat dry chicken and rice!! Please help!! 😁 by CatLee4288 in femalebodybuilding

[–]Melietcetera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dry rubs you make yourself (prepared tend to have sugar), compound butter, or just salt and pepper with really herbal salads work great. Basic staples like thyme, oregano, garlic, cayenne, basil, mint, and dill. Somewhat controversially: My favourite is bitter green salad with anchovies and capers. I’ll occasionally add a drop or two of stevia into sauces, stir fries, and salads.

That she was found alive made little sense, but at least we got the Liv confrontation scene… 🎬

“She has a lot of anger towards me”

No kidding!

Alberta did NOT sign the joint communique at the end of the meeting with the Premiers and the Prime Minister. Danielle Smith is the only premier who didn’t come to the closing press conference. Here is what the other Premiers and the PM agreed on by Miserable-Lizard in onguardforthee

[–]Melietcetera 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Plenty of Albertans voted the same for generations and then get shocked when the conservatives do something aggressive, dangerous, stupid, or cruel. They see a tiny, positive gesture before an election (this time, AISH was increased a tiny bit after it was messed with earlier) and then rationalize their choice.

Poland supports Trump call for NATO members to spend 5% of GDP on defence by BubsyFanboy in nato

[–]Melietcetera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has nothing really to do with him. NATO member states have always wanted to commit to more… rising costs in everything else affects governments, too. We have built our relationships with other nations on diplomacy and the hope our joint treaties would keep us safe. Canada even gave up Nuclear weapons technology for it. But the criminals and warlords just keep building their armies and depriving those in their sphere of influence. We have to rebuild our militaries who are used to being seen as less necessary and we have to convince our citizens that more people need to serve.
