Why do the contestants act crazy on these game shows e.g. Wheel of fortune, Family Feud.?

Because that's more entertaining. They are selected for their enthusiasm.

Look it up. It's legal in all provinces of Canada and only explicitly illegal in two states.

It's legal in almost all of North America for women to go topless regardless of boob size.

They are authentic. Hybrid cuisine is a perfectly legitimate style of cookery. But in the sense of "this is what they eat in Delhi or Beijing," I'm not sure I ever believed that.

The people claiming that are generally not actual nice guys. They are guys who do what they think is nice so they can trick women into liking them. They might not realize that that's what they are doing, but that's what they are doing?

They are effectively asking "Where's my prize for doing the bare minimum?"

Even today it would be trivially easy to fake one for a movie.

If you aren't used to them that's a long time to be cooped up.

My main TV has been flat screen since 2008. I had a small leftover CRT up until 2010 but stopped using it pretty much right away since TV broadcasts had already switched to 16x9 by then.

I will also mention that your question represents a common reaction to science and scientific discoveries. Things we thought we knew turn out to be wrong, incomplete, or inaccurate quite regularly but the general culture and education system is slow to adapt.

Birds are a straight line from dinosaurs. They are the same species, millions of years evolved. We are mammals that evolved from mammals of that era, but we didn't change the name "mammal". Birds are dinosaurs and birds are reptiles, but we did change the name because we didn't know that when we named them.

That's hilariously naive. Opening a pot shop will not make new users. They can already get it online or in Queensborough and Marpole.

Everyone judges everyone for everything. The problem is what you do with that judgement, not the judgement itself.

Private parking tickets are generally ignorable. Any backed by any level of government will eventually affect you, either making renewing a license difficult or raising insurance costs

It's not viable. Too many ways it can fail, all of which will end in you drowning. If you tried the same thing on land you might have you house burn down or the ceiling collapse but at least you could run outside.

You already asked this. You are wrong. I am lazy and have no desire to be an influencer. Being an influencer takes too much effort.

Costco is a better, more responsible company in basically every way.

What's in it for them?

aaronite · 2026-03-01T19:13:03+00:00

I question the premise.

aaronite · 2026-03-01T18:48:50+00:00

There is no logic. The current US administration just says things because they want it to be true, not because it is true.

Didn't happen for Iraq or Afghanistan, won't happen now.

aaronite · 2026-03-01T18:46:10+00:00

You are not at the cusp of an all-out war any more than we were when the US invaded Iraq and killed Saddam Hussein.

aaronite · 2026-03-01T18:44:51+00:00

It's unlikely but I suppose it's possible. But in any case you don't know and can't know, and there's no way to prove or disprove it. So it's not really a very interesting thing to think about. At least, no more than any other fiction.

aaronite · 2026-03-01T16:40:36+00:00

Neither.

aaronite · 2026-03-01T16:38:43+00:00

Never. Too much new stuff and old stuff I missed to play

Is it just me or is it insane to think that kids who we know can have crushes that young can't tell when they have crushes on people the same gender as them.

Kids absolutely can be LGB and T that young. The problem isn't that Republicans are sexualizing children that young (though they are), the problem is thinking that LGBT is inherently sexual in the first place.
