Are you sure that it's linoleum, and not VCT?

Vancouver has the right idea with "Su’it Street", no one is going to call it "šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm Street".

If they are considering also having signs that call it "Musqueamview St.", that's the only way that it will ever be referenced.

Question what is considered 6th grade.

This is a statement, telling the reader to consider, or be skeptical of, what the common understanding of what 6th grade is.

Question: what is considered 6th grade?

This asking the reader what most people think 6th grade is.


So, how did you read the comment? It isn't a question; it's a statement in both sense of the word.

Someone replied to you using her legal name Marliana Smith. If you curious as to why, she brought forward a law designed to hurt transgendered children, to require parental consent for schools to call them anything but their first name. Since she doesn't even go by her first name, some people now refuse to call her by her middle name, which she prefers.

She's financed by oil companies, a hypocrite, a liar, and rallies her voters by creating imaginary enemies out of "the other",. A very prototypical far-right politician.

If you look at who is doing the work it'll give you a clue.

Most of them were international students who'd recently graduated or other newcomers working their first job in Canada.

Getting a job when your first language isn't English is hard. It's also hard when all of your references might not speak English, are half a world away, and you don't really have a "network" in Canada. You might be willing to put up with a lot of shit in order to have some work history in Canada.

You need to listen to him because it's a meeting at work, he's higher up than you are, and your job is at risk.

The link skips half of the speech, if you have 8 minutes, watch the whole thing.

I do agree that people in the same sport will train the same muscles, but they normally start with a biological advantage in order to be good enough in the sport to start to train specifically for it to begin with. There are other things than height, such and foot/hand size, torso length, natural testosterone levels, how fast your body removed lactic acid, if you were born with a cardio-vascular issue, dozens of factors that affect your balance, and much more.

Someone with Ehlers-Danlos isn't likely to become a powerlifter.

  1. Trans men get the ability to compete with other men, I assume you mean trans women get to compete with other women.
  2. No one actually cares about women's sports until "the trans issue" comes up. This argument is just an excuse to try to harm trans people. Most people can't name a WNBA team, or name more than 5 female athletes.
  3. Biological differences is what professional sports are. That's why people who have similar builds seem to play the same sports.

The article says that cedar is being used "for grounding and protection", so at least some of it is bullshit.

I am also on team bar soap, but body wash isn't always "soap", it's sometimes a detergent.

Which is another reason why I am on team bar soap.

"Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes"

 

I mean, this is the same Trinity Western that wasn't allowed to open up a law school because they are garbage, right?

They only started to consider dropping their homophobic ways after their law school bid was rejected.

It requires members to abstain from using vulgar language, lying or cheating, stealing, using degrading materials such as pornography, and "sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman."

While that rule effectively bars anyone who is unmarried from having sexual relations, it's the reference to "man and a woman" that is considered discriminatory against LGBT people. Same-sex marriage became legal in Canada in 2005.

And Janet, get real. Not being allowed to open a law school because you discriminate against others, doesn't count as a loss in diversity.

Janet Epp Buckingham, a TWU professor who helped develop the law school proposal, said she was saddened by the ruling.

"We feel that this is a loss for diversity in Canada"

Edit: It looks they stopped making students promise to be straight in 2018, but they didn't drop it for the staff.

 

The previous song was Imagine dragons, a band that is generally considered unwanted.
