I guess I feel like that is more "domestic/foreign policy" than culture. I'm referring to the sort of common culture that is lived by daily Canadians, which to some extent does get expressed in policy matters, but is that stuff which is so ingrained in your behaviour you almost never think about...

Sure, I just don't see it as worth mentioning in the whole scheme. Charitably I could say even well-read people make that typo when they're not editing, or tired, etc. Uncharitably I would say "Oh people who want to burn books don't care about literacy? I'm shocked, shocked, to discover... etc."

I don't think it's glossing over to skip the part where Ted Bundy jaywalked to get to his victims.

I fucking hate it when Canadians act morally superior to Americans. I have a friend who genuinely believes the only thing you can 'make fun' of Canadians for is that we're polite, and that there are no serious cultural or political problems here. Just baffling levels of denial. Hot take: the...

I've heard you can drive a 30 min stretch of highway that passes through different NA land and bounce between timezones 4 times in Arizona

I love quirks like this. There's a town that straddles Alberta and Saskatchewan, called Lloydminster. The drinking age is 18 in AB, but 19 in SK, so guess which side of town the kids love. It's also messy for DST - SK doesn't observe it, but AB does. The whole town of Lloydminster does, but if...

Wow I haven't thought about that show in ages lmao

I had the same thought when this came out a few years ago. It has this tear-jerking sentimental soundtrack but is just a horror film. "I have no mouth and I must mime films."

And spend that fortune on kevlar!

Ahaha that's fair

My client has admitted publicly that the armadillo was for sexual experimentation only. The disappearance of his mother is not proof of foul play. In this country we believe a man is innocent until proven guilty beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt...

Or it's just one more example of how dumb highschoolers are! I absolutely believe a foolish highschooler trying to get laid would misuse a phrase (or lie about his mother being dead).

My mom is American, so we often used to do TWO thanksgiving dinners - one at my dad's family's in October, and another at home with just the immediate fam in November. It was great.

I mean young earth Creationism and intelligent design creationism are different so who knows. The latter is basically just claiming a god exists but science describes the created design. It includes the big bang theory, evolution, etc. I think it was all created, but the creation includes the...

Oh I'm just salty because I'm sick, just whining that sometimes here it feels like people only see weird reductionist versions of religion, which is the whole community of IQ190 toddlers in r/atheism

Amazing

Halforums has always had some of that r/atheism going on.

I didn't mean the venereal-venial connection, although that is great. I was just joking about venial vs mortal sin, because I think I'm funny (my wife disagrees).

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/my-boris-johnson-story This is possibly the greatest insight into Boris Johnson I have ever read.

In Catholicism we make a distinction between 'venial' and 'mortal' disease.
