It's a badge of honour, much like Americans getting their first gun. The head detaching process is, surprisingly, painless, but leads to decades of bragging about free healthcare and complaining about Newfies (you know we love you 🧡)

Bruh. Whether or not they are Nazi's isn't the crux of the issue. The fact that they are invoking Nazi symbolism and behaviours at all is the issue, and any self-respecting American should take issue with the invocation of something Americans claim they helped destroy (to be clear, fascism and Nazism in WW2).

Ah fair I see where you were going. Thanks for clarifying

My understanding of NATO's articles is that article 4 guarantees protection against threats to a member nation's sovereignty, and article 5 guarantees military protection in the event of invasion. So it's a direct violation of article 4 from one founding member to another which is... Bad for the whole alliance lol.

I agree it's an insane thing for him to be talking about out of nowhere, but an overtly imperial USA (as opposed to its traditional denial of being an empire) against a close ally is something worth talking about.

Pfft, next you're going to be selling me on the idea that we're all made of carbon

Great art is often not appreciated in its time

You're not alone. Just like with the Goauld!

Gives new meaning to sleep it off?

Typical indicators of headlessness may include inability to think clearly, vertigo, deaf- or blindness, and in serious cases, death.

If you think you're experiencing headlnessness, gesture wildly towards the doctor's office to a friend. If you are also experiencing armlessness, please press #2.

+1 for natural fabrics wherever possible. In my experience, they are almost always better for day to day wear, and I live in a COLD climate

I want to bandwagon onto this comment, as I fully agree. Buy timeless and good quality clothing.

I'm not overly trendy, but I always dress well. If you're not interested in chasing trends, make it so you can dress well without paying attention. A few high quality t-shirts, several pairs of good (maybe even expensive) jeans and/or chinos, a couple of jackets/blazers to step it up. Some dress shirts and some accessories (belts, shoes, etc). Some of the best pieces I have are old fashions: houndstooth, solid colors, plaids of various styles, and etc.

I would also advocate for supporting sustainable, or at least local, clothing companies as much as possible, but that's a personal value.

Finally, don't chase fashion. I had a modelling coach once who gave me the most important piece of clothing advice I've ever received: it's not what you're wearing, it's how you feel wearing it. If you feel good, you'll stand a little taller, smile a little more easily, and bring your best self to meet the world. I was wearing a $20 Walmart blazer. Just some food for thought. Good luck and have fun with it!

You've piqued my interest. I had read about something similar to the lights being piloted in one of the Scandinavian countries. Something to the effect of "using blue hued lights and reducing light pollution with scheduled lighting" was correlated with a reduction in criminal activity in piloted neighborhoods.

Would you happen to know anything about this? I never saw any follow up on it, but as a farm boy that moved into the city I definitely noted a change between dark at night and artificially lit at night
