There are a lot of farms around here, and thus a lot of farmer’s markets. There’s a lot of craft breweries, and the downtown core has recently been gentrified so there are a ton of small businesses there. A witchy store, a book store, a jewellery store, a collectibles store, a coffee roastery, a barber shop, a piercing/tattoo parlour, and don’t get me started on the restaurants.

There’s been a lot of investment in the area to make it walkable, and I’ve seen a huge uptick in tourists since it looks so appealing now.

As someone whose family is from HK, I’d urge you to hang on to Cantonese if possible. I feel like it’s slowly dying due to influence from mainland China. I wish I could speak it but I can’t.

I don’t watch this show so I don’t have a horse in this race, but the idea is that there are few enough opportunities for Asian actors already. Brie is a good actor and widely beloved, there will always be another opportunity for her.

You say they don’t whitewash the character, but then you say they only address the character’s ethnicity once. That’s a bit contradictory isn’t it?

Concerning Hobbits. I picked it to try to set the tone for the day, and it usually works. I’m not a morning person so this is about as good as I can get.

US doesn’t have paid public holidays?

Heliboard does have emojis. 🦄

And that she wants to be involved in the kid’s life. Wonder what kind of relationship she has with her actual daughter.

Yes, I love typing and do it quickly. I guess I prefer QWERTY but only because that’s the one I learned on and got good at. I hate keys that are too flat, like laptops and some office keyboards trying too hard to look streamlined.

When I’m thinking of how to spell a word, in my mind’s eye I see it being typed out and that’s how I find the correct spelling.

Similarly, ättestupa.

That’s Canada.

Not exactly the same, but I enjoy mixing sunny side up eggs into poké bowls.

Yeah my husband does this to me too. One time he was camping and texted me just a person’s name with no other context. Like are you about to be murdered and this is the main suspect??

Yes the point is that they’re similar, but with the added layer that you’re supposed to prefer the left because it looks more natural whereas the right looks like they tried too hard to achieve the same look and failed.

Wtf dude, I could have gone my whole life not knowing this. I hope your socks get wet.

My mom had a fake fur coat and I wore it, pretending to be a bear.

They might just be happy every day that we’re not being invaded.

Sometimes you’ve got to make some looove

Do you need to have it to apply for a job? I’ve only ever needed it when actually starting a job but I’m Canadian.

That’s not “back in the day”. My parents are older than that and they didn’t have an arranged marriage. They are good people. My grandparents did have an arranged marriage and they were good people too.

Not me, I slept through my alarm and got up at the time my body thinks is normal.
