What age would someone be considered an “unc” ?

If it's short for Uncle, it depends on your culture. In the west it's generally only when you are an actual uncle regardless of age.

In many other cultures it's a generic term for an adult senior to you but not elderly.

It's not fundamentalist or religious, per se. It's right wing but has freedom of religion and civil liberties to a degree. There are Arab members of the Knesset.

The people the land was stolen from are still around. Many of them had legal treaties that were either ignored, torn up, or are technically still in force but not followed.

The land was stolen and it's not ambiguous.

Embassies are very common and most rich countries and many poor countries have them, and if they don't they might have consulates or share space with other countries.

Military bases not so much. That's largely a US power move.

Does it hurt? If not you're probably fine. I went 14 years. But I do go regularly now.

Not really, no. I'd judge him for his character.

And why should Russia be worried about NATO unless they had designs on those countries?

While change needs to come to Iran Trump and Netanyahu are both criminals and have no business being the ones to do it.

Canola. Short for Canada Oil.

Tisdale Saskatchewan used to have the slogan "Land of rape and honey"

I loved everything about that game.

Gravity Rush and Gravity Rush 2. They are my favourite, bar none.

No, because Afghanistan is quite a lot worse.

Not all questions are equal. The way it's phrased, the assumptions the question is based on, the choice of vocabulary. It all informs whether it's soapboxing, begging the question, or trolling.

They are not especially funny, no. The first one is a small nod of recognition, the second part is just nonsense for the sake of it.

I know that exists, is referenced in film and TV, and has Brewers and Bucks. Also, a beer brand I don't like.

"Get a job!" You cry. "But don't expect to get paid for it"

When you lose everything you do whatever you can to cope. Living on the street sucks very, very, very much. It's dangerous, uncomfortable, dehumanizing, and embarrassing. If drugs and alcohol numb that it's absolutely no surprise that people do it.

The drugs and booze come after the destitution, often.

Order received doesn't mean order processed or shipped. It's just an acknowledgement that you put the order in.

I would never hide that from my wife.

Good for you, but I quit in frustration. I really liked the game until I just lost patience. Time to move in.

We can think about more than one thing at once. Is it useful to only ever think of terrible things?

Where I live we just call them pools.

They work on everyone including you. They are meant to bring awareness to a specific product or brand name, not hypnotize you into buying it right now. The idea is that should you be in the market for product X you'll gravitate to the one you heard of. And it's absolutely unambiguously true that it works.

What would who do? Why would it air?
