While Canada treats indigenous people quite poorly, they actually have better protections than the EU has for its indigenous and minority populations (legally and institutionally). If Canada did join (which sounds bizarre to me), I would hope that the EU would meet the Canadian standard rather than see the Canadian standard drop down to EU level.

I ask those questions too, especially when I’m not fully present. It goes better when I ask something less abstract that refers to our shared situation (location, unusual weather, the food if we’re eating, the show if that’s where we’re at).
I’ve checked info I wasn’t fully sure of at train stations with strangers. I had good conversations sometimes because they followed up with something else or offered to let me know when my stop was coming up.
Best thing really is to actually be interested rather than scripted. Or to get there ASAP after the ice breaker.
This was definitely true in the 80s where I grew up
At this point, it’s clear this isn’t a good-faith exchange. I’m done engaging, but I stand by everything I’ve said and I trust that readers can distinguish substance from noise.

My heart possibly needs an internet break.
Joe Biden and Kamala will sleep well again tonight.
I wonder did he say “Hail to the king, baby” when he was arrested.
Seriously though, that’s a tragic story. He didn’t know the extent of what he was involved judging by those text messages.
I barely use Reddit now. I’ve unfollowed any sub that has an equivalent here.
The main one holding me back is that native speakers of my language are there.

A British owned tabloid posing as an Irish paper reporting on American news. There aren’t many worse sources.
I did one of those ten-day vipassana courses. They’re absolutely excellent training if you can handle it. I wouldn’t go in there never having tried meditation before, though.
I’ve definitely read that research shows that meditation can help people with ADHD.
Saying that someone as esteemed as Francesca Albanese has “a history of antisemitism” is absolute slander and defamation of character.
I didn’t know that they made two for the movies. I’d be curious if those same two were reused in Batman Returns and The Flash (although it was not powered up in the latter, unfortunately).
It was indeed drivable. I’m not sure how practical it was though since the design made it difficult for the driver to see over the bonnet.
I think Jonathan Frakes confirmed it in an interview, although I thought it was actually located close to the bridge.
That was a fun video. They definitely had plenty of personal space. Maybe the designer had Finnish heritage :~). That actually appeals to me. I wouldn’t like to leave my quarters and immediately be presented with people passing my door. I imagine they also needed a lot of space for rescue missions and diplomacy.
Wasn’t it also rumoured to only have one toilet on the entire ship?
That’s true, it eventually becomes a thing of it’s own among the community that use it. The way things are going, that community will only get bigger.
I agree with you - at least in my interpretation - that activities are implied to demand the same level of energy every time. The variability is accounted for by having a different number of “spoons” each day (unknown to us in advance).
I like the gas in the tank metaphor, although it’s used so often in association with healthy fatigue that I’d be concerned that it might trivialise the degree of deep, all-encompassing exhaustion I’m really talking about. A new vocabulary is probably ideal for the uniquely surreal experience that is M.E./C.F.S.
“What do you do for fun?”
“I avoid these kinds of situations”
