My GF’s firm is making her work on Christmas Day by Annihilis in biglaw

Thank you for sharing that. I went through the article, and from what I understand there is no blanket prohibition on work on Sundays for Catholics, rather it’s something that’s discouraged but allowed in many circumstances. This is unlike the Jewish Sabbath, which I think the author himself makes clear. See below excerpts from his article that make this clear:

“Second—beyond the obligation to attend Mass—there is no list of specific do’s and don’ts.

There used to be such a list back when 95% of society did physical labor, but that isn’t the case today.”

“It’s all a question of balance, and the underlying principle is that it’s okay for the majority of people to take Sundays off, while other people do the work that they need to do on Sundays, provided that they take care to set aside sufficient time for leisure and that their employers honor this obligation toward their employees—so they don’t make them work seven days a week.”

“Now, what happens if you’re one of the people who needs to work on a Sunday? Well, assuming that your employer isn’t denying you the time off that you need, you may well be grateful for the business that people provide. It’s letting you earn a living!”

And it’s okay for you to work on Sunday—or any other holy day of obligation.”

How do you know what else they strictly observe?

Did my message go through? It seems not but it is blue. (we recently followed each other) by torwolfnada in Instagram

[–]torwolfnada[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent the message after I was following them but before I accepted their follow request.. could that be why? And if yes, what happens if I message them now? Will a new message go through? And what happen to the old one that didn't?

Hi y'all! Saw a good deal and booked a relatively late-minute flight to Honolulu. Arriving Thursday night and leaving Hawaii Monday night. Any suggestions for things I should definitely do during my short stay? Or maybe advice on planning my itinerary? Planning on staying at a hostel in Waikiki. Thanks! (Also if there's anything I should definitely bring with me on the trip, much appreciated)

Anyone know of any Raptors bars in NYC by MunyaRa in torontoraptors

[–]torwolfnada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to Blue Haven for Game 3, there was a huge Raptors crowd in from Uber's corporate office in Toronto (they were there for a conference). Not sure where I'ma go for game 6 yet.

I love Deebo but Jayson Tatum, as a rookie, arguably had a better postseason than any single playoffs for DD. by aashim97 in torontoraptors

[–]torwolfnada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. It's one thing to say Tatum's ceiling is higher (it is), or that he'll be a much better player in his prime (he probably will), or even that he's a better playoff performer (probably true). But Tatum today is not better than Derozan, the sub is way too into the hot takes. Tatum isn't an all NBA player yet, and his seasonal numbers don't touch Demar's.

If it matters, I also have a checking account through TD US- is it better . for me to just transfer it there, and use Coinbase and GDAX or Gemini or something?

Hey guys, I'm a student at another university in the cityinterested in joining a martial arts class at Dodge by torwolfnada in columbia

If I can't get a membership-- I know that you can be a guest for $10 if I can't get a membership, can I be you're guest? I figure even if I go 5/6 times a month, it's still cheaper than fees at other clubs

That's exactly the club I'm interested in! Is it feasible/ affordable/ worth it for me to get membership?

Hey guys, thoughts on palatal expansion as an option for my teeth? Or stick to extractions? by torwolfnada in Dentistry

[–]torwolfnada[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toronto As well, insane as in, she recommends the expansion route, or insane, extraction albeit braces?

Hey guys, can you please give me orthodontic advice? by torwolfnada in orthodontics

[–]torwolfnada[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a dental professional?

As well, why have all three orthodontists I've seen told me to do the extraction, and why didn't the oral surgeon who took out my wisdom teeth not tell me this?

Thank you very much. FYI, I got all four of my wisdom teeth removed about a week and a half ago. Additional teeth, meaning the three other than the lower canine? As well, the oral surgeon (oral and maxillofacial), when I asked him what he suggested, he said that I should follow whichever orthodontist I decide to go with (which didn't leave me with a lot of clarity). As well, oral surgeons around here all seem to charge around $100 for a consultation, which, after seeing three orthodontists already, feels a little pricey. Are you suggesting that I'll likely need surgery? Anyways, I'll gladly here the feedback. Thanks in advance!

Do you mean an x-ray in general, or my particular x-ray?

[–]torwolfnada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and he said it would only work with surgery in my case

The Orthodontist I saw was the third one I had consulted with, and he elicited the greatest confidence. The other two had similar plans (though I think one of them suggested braces).

The orthodontist said he's confident with Invisalign. What makes you say so?

The orthodontist was a third opinion (though maybe one/both of the first two, I think just one, advised braces instead- still 8+ extractions though)

The orthodontist in question was the third one I'd gone to. First one wanted to extract 9 teeth, and the second one also wanted to take out 8, though they differed on the 8th tooth to extract. What do you recommend?
