How can any self respecting Republican vote for impeachment when they haven't been allowed to view any of the articles? As far as the power loving thing, from where I'm sitting the far left are the ones trying to circumvent the constitution, not the moderate right. The O'Rourke is a Democrat...

God? I hate the f*cker.

Weird fact about people: People on the left tend to only read news from left leaning media sources. Right leaning people tend to read news from both right and left leaning media. With the way modern journalism works, if something newsworthy happens that doesn't fit the narrative, it's...

2016 CNN: Breaking News! Orange Man is bad! 365 similar headlines later... 2017 CNN: Breaking News! Orange man is bad! Impeach him! Yet another 365 similar headlines later... 2018 CNN: Breaking News! Orange man bad! Bet you didn't see that one coming. A fresh batch of 365 similar headlines...

Why would she ask this in the first place? I'm with Friday, keep your stuff. I think she could do with a bit of therapy herself, she sounds like has some insecurity issues of her own. It's a car.... This isn't that Stephen King novel. Unless you're literally blowing her off to sit alone and...

We have them here, but.. and it's a big BUT.... Like any other imported confectionary (such as jaffa cakes, or any and all "authentic European chocolate") it does not contain the same ingredients, nor does it taste as good. Might as well buy a Hershey's bar. ? It seems like the only business...

This is the reaction I usually get from people about condensed milk sandwiches. I cannot for the life of me figure out why. You'd think I was claiming I enjoyed putting ketchup on my cornflakes. ? Here's my question for a foreigner; Is there some other kind of condensed milk I don't know about...

I'm not keen on marmite, but I did indeed mean marmalade. Tried it several times over the years but I'm just not a fan of it. No idea, but it works in a surprising number of recipes. Here in Canada? Sometimes. Ground was popular for ages here, now pods have taken over the coffee aisles. As...

Not for the feint of stomach. Still pretty funny though I've no clue how he survived this. Good thing it wasn't marmalade, that stuff is truly awful. Fun little bit of Canadian (counter....?) culture. ?? ??

Last time I checked, ants will vigorously attack any creature, human or otherwise that disturbs their home. Since ants evolved here on Earth, no one questions this territorial defensive behavior. Human beings evolved on Earth, why are we not afforded the same courtesy? You have just as much a...

Good thing you were there, that could have been a disaster. I remember a few years ago I was standing in line to pay for gas poking at my phone, all of a sudden I find myself laying on the floor with an elderly man on top of me. He had no idea what caused it, he just had a bout of vertigo and...

This is it exactly, though it's true on a much larger scale than I think you're inferring here. Earth's climate is always dramatically shifting, always has been, always will be. This was true long before we evolved here and will be true long after we're extinct. Does that mean we shouldn't be...

Just wanted to add, 4 police vehicles at a traffic stop for a warning about speeding isn't unusual. At a robbery scene, it's almost a given. The reason for the number? Usually just other patrol units in the area swinging by to be there in case something goes wrong. They will just hang around...

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the context. Given the context, I'd think it better had they left out the specific disorder. If the video isn't providing specific necessary information, there's no reason to specify, as anyone should be allowed to opt out of watching it for any reason. Including: Wanting...

Depending on what the meeting is supposed to cover, it could be polite to provide an out for sensitive employees, or grossly inappropriate. Is it to work out an emergency plan for the people working there? In such a case, excluding anyone would be a occupational health and safety issue. I...

@zero Are you familiar with the practice of medical assistance in dying? Whether or not it is applied to a patient is not up to a physician to decide, beyond if they are willing to administer the drugs to the patient. The current system (in my country) is restricted to the terminally ill and...

I read somewhere a while ago that the cost was due to the drug being used was the only one legally sanctioned for assisted suicide and being a barbiturate, it's not being manufactured in large quantities any longer, having been replaced by safer drugs ages ago. I could be wrong though.

I have taken Venlafaxine and had to quit it in a somewhat drastic manner. I made a thread documenting the effects of the discontinuation syndrome on myself. As with all psychiatric medications, the individual experiences probably vary wildly from person to person, but I'll link it here in case...

Glad to hear it's improved. I was reminded of something my mother told me years ago. When I was a newborn, my parents had an old English sheepdog. They had to rehome him after he developed the rather unfortunate behaviour of wanting to sit on me. Apparently a newborn makes a comfortable heated...

It might be better to have this conversation with him before he isolates, while he's in a better head space.

@Ronin Unless of course the dying flashlight happened to coincidentally spell out "Play the lottery •STOP• Watch for icebergs •STOP•" In which case, get a lotto ticket, carry a flare gun and avoid the ice machine. Though on a slightly more serious note, I once lost a good flashlight down an...

I would call them "indoctrinated". I don't know if they're looking for a fight so much as looking for an outrage to virtue signal over. Sort of like a peacock strutting around with it's plumage. When there's no peahen around, it's a display for territory rather than sex. To most people...

I think you just ran into one of those basement dwelling extreme leftist "woke" types. In my experience, anyone whose political views are that polarised in either direction, can't be reasoned with. If you don't agree 100% with whatever their dialectical beliefs dictate, you are the enemy. Both...

I try to prioritise what is actually important to me and what is actually useful to me. Trump tweeting something rude? Has little impact on my day to day. Other than something to laugh about with work people later it's not relevant to me personally. A shooting in a different state? Sad as...

I'm glad she's ok and I hope they can give her the help she needs.
