TIL that the Māori word for autism is "Takiwātanga" meaning "their own time and space." I also learned that it's not without controversy (see inside).

    This happened to me for years until I finally found a trick that works for me, which is that anos sounds more similar to anus than años.

    Honestly I prefer it, once you get used to it and maybe tweak one or two things to your preference, it just feels super natural and smooth.

    Gotta mention The Thing (1982). Impeccable cinematography, sounds, colors, everything. Practical effects that are still unsettling today, and good old fashioned "humans are not enough and never will be" horror.

    Honestly, I can't give you the info you need as I haven't lived in Alberta... But it does have a reputation for being the most right wing Christian part of Canada, so compared to Oregon I'd say it might be a downgrade

    Corruption here (Canada) still happens federally and especially at the provincial level (like Doug Ford, which has many blatant examples and faces no consequences). Municipally (county level) I have not noticed as much, and my municipality seems to have a great local government that functions well... I've even spoken up and had a small issue resolved with little effort.

    However I think you'll find if that kinda stuff grinds your gears you'll still have a better time in Canada than the US, despite the problems (and we do have problems).

    As an Ontarian I also gotta say the bit about the premiers is also spot on.

    I have heard that the newer strains don't show up on the tests, depending on the test. I got it recently, tested negative but it was my second time so I could recognize it and be fairly certain.

    Or it keeps doubling even well after its surpassed the human population, and we all have to keep hitting "pass" in turns forever, and if even a single person gives up then boom.

    I've got a wopet feeder for my cat and would kill for the STLs for the legs and chute lol (but please ofc don't feel obligated to share them free or otherwise). Same reason as you, so I can have it dump into a puzzle feeder.

    Anyway, amazing work, any chance a guy can obtain some of your STL files?

    At a similar pay scale, I’ve been required to go into homes where folks had COVID. Coworkers have been shot at. I’ve seen things I really would have preferred not to. No job is perfectly sane in that sense.

    American? Because this is not normal up here in Canada.

    Anime aebrer Now 100%
    looking for recommendations - non-horny

    You heard me. I honestly love anime, and even a bit of horniness is fine, but as I watch more and more and run out of "mainstream" things to watch, I find myself in the same situation over and over: I watch the first few episodes of an anime and then it reveals some unpleasant tropes, often involving either lack of consent, minors, or both. So I'm just looking for your top 3 anime suggestions that DON'T include loli/misogyny content. Bonus points for isekai because I love that shit. Edit: example of an amazing one - "Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill"
