When I was in middle school, some girl sang this song at the talent show. Except she didn't just sing any version of Ode to Joy. No, she sang this milk commercial version of the song.

Learning to make good Indian food was one of my covid lockdown projects. Buying whole spices and grinding them myself made a big difference, and using ghee.

Let's say we do decide to torture murderers. Who is going to torture them? Are we going to pay for these people to have therapy (because they're really going to need it)? How would you feel if you found out your next-door neighbour tortures people for a living? What do we do when we find out, years later, that we've been torturing an innocent person?

I think you need a little more life experience so you can realize that things aren't as simple as you seem to think they are.

My mom didn't let me use a calculator as a kid and I'm really glad now. I can do simple calculations much faster than if I had to use a calculator.

Same with French here in Canada. I took French for six years and I still don't speak it at all, and I actually did really well in my French classes.

I've always been an atheist but I come from a Catholic culture and have thought about this a lot. I feel that religion is kind of like ancient group therapy and the practices have a positive social impact. Gathering once a week with everyone in your community, singing songs and talking about how to be better people just seems like a good idea

Maybe I was just lucky but I breastfed two children and nobody ever said anything to me. I did it in public and never used a cover. If I got any dirty looks, I didn't notice.

I like untangling things. We could work well together.

Oh I know! It's so weird. Ovens are probably because we get ours from the US, but why we do pool temperature in farenheit is a mystery to me.

As a Canadian myself, it really depends. Most of us only understand farenheit in certain contexts. Some of us can understand it for weather but I think that's mostly older generations. I use farenheit for oven and pool temperature only. In every other context, it is meaningless to me.

I didn't know Canada and Australia were in Europe

Lol you guys are ridiculous. Get over yourself. My family has to miss several years of anything that requires a plane so YOU don't have to be mildly inconvenienced for half an hour? Sure, bud.
