I think We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank (Modest Mouse) and Give Up (Postal Service) would be my top full albums.

Sounds silly but Enema of the State (Blink 182) also causes me to have a strong emotional reaction mostly because of Adam's Song but it's also just one of my favourite albums of all time so it brings up lots of emotions, good and bad.

Also you can probably tell what kind of childhood I had given these choices LOL.

Someone just set off a bomb in front of a politicians office in my province. Not confirmed but fairly certain that was a protest.

Pride turned more into a celebration rather than a protest in recent years with the capitalization of it, but due to recent regression I can imagine it going back to more intense protests in some towns at least now.

Depends where you live but most of the time the government does try to keep even controversial protests pretty light with the excuse of keeping people safe, but there's always more extreme action that people take, it maybe just doesn't get shown as a "protest" per se.

Is there any chance that the judges can "buy" their survey responses? E.g. if they pay off the people taking the survey? Or is it all totally anonymous?

(I'm not American, just curious)

This is why many people I know have started referring to themselves as members of the "global majority" rather than "minority".

But also, yeah this is a class war and if the lower classes stopped perpetuating the division that the wealthy/powerful have forced on us, we could all make everything better. Eat the rich.

We keep buying their pipelines and providing them weapons materials so I'm not so sure.

I'm hesitant to call it poaching in most situations because we literally have doctors/nurses from many countries trying desperately to become qualified to do their work in Canada and having to jump a million hoops. The majority end up going to the states or the UK to become certified because we're so shitty about accepting degrees from non-commonwealth countries.

Wtf I definitely watched this movie but was too distracted/disturbed by the bestiality subplot to realize everything else fucked up about it.

I will defend my rubber flavoured twizzlers til the day I die. Do they taste like you shouldn't be eating them? Absolutely. Will I still eat an entire bag of twizzlers at the movie theater every single time? You betcha.

Aw, even though Carney tried so hard to pass bill c-2 for daddy Trump? I wonder what their new excuse for the bullshit "border" bill will be.

Trying to feel better knowing that PP would've been worse but no... This is just fucking awful. We were screwed either way.

That's quite rude. I'm lucky at my work they just throw the food out and wash the Tupperware.

I'm on vacation and I stepped on a red anthill, and by stepped on I mean I sat on a ledge with my foot hanging over the anthill for about 10 minutes before stepping down onto it.

Stuck my foot in the pool to try to get rid of them only to ruin my only pair of pants and walking shoes I had for 3 days before we could do laundry/get the shoe dry. Also they just do not sell afterbite where I am so I've been trying different shitty creams that haven't done much for the ~15 ant bites I have on my leg.

Also this was a few days after I forgot one of our travelling phones on a bus and it was not recovered.

Also, it was my only pair of pants because I had ruined my other pair of pants when I slipped and fell into a puddle.

I know about it, but I'm not interested in the topic

Is it illegal for ICE to wear them? What about people experiencing medical symptoms or people with immunodeficiencies? Or was it aimed at protesters trying to protect their identity?

I don't like that ICE or people pretending to be them wear masks, but this seems like a dangerous precedent.

They can also just stop buying from shitty companies like Amazon.

Can you tell me more about data hoarding? Do you just like download shit off the net and archive it all?

Like 4-5 years of ancestry resources access, or maybe like a short trip to my grandparent's homeland to do my own research.

Or I can buy like A LOT of thread and cross stitch material. A lot.

I mean... Yeah, a lot of governments are.

In any case that shouldn't justify the genocide of those countries' civilians.

Okay, well I'm not sure what language you speak but that's interesting. I'd be curious to know what your native tongue is.

LGB refers to orientation. In English, the word "sex" does not mean this and I would recommend you do not use it in that context when trying to get your questions across. Orientation refers to the same thing as attraction, and neither of these terms exclusively have to do with sex (neither the act of sex or what gender someone was assigned at birth).

People use these terms and share them so they can find other people like them. At its base, it's important to know if someone might be attracted to people of the same gender for the sake of finding a partner, but it can also help for finding community and like-minded individuals and people will share it for those, among many other reasons.

People who are trans may choose to share this fact either for community building as mentioned above, or if they're finding a partner, it might be important for the partner to understand that the person may not have been assigned the same gender at birth than they are currently presenting as.

People share their pronouns so that others know how to refer to them. For example, for some people, it's very hurtful to be referred to as "she" instead of "he", so they will tell you that straight up. This doesn't necessarily have to do with being trans either - a cis woman who dresses masculine and might be perceived as a man might make it a point to tell you her pronouns.

Other people share their pronouns because they believe nobody should assume. If we all share our pronouns immediately, nobody has to make any assumptions.

I believe the amazonification refers to forcing employees into the same shitty type of treatment pushed onto Amazon delivery drivers and external couriers, with unreasonable expectations on delivery, low pay, and generally treating their staff as extremely disposable.
