People say it in person a lot. Another factor might be that some people view it coming across as either non genuine or passive aggressive in written form.

Think about what your age is on Feb 28 and March 1 on non leap years.

Possibly started with a different volume then through shrinkflation ended up at 618 mL

Also I’m curious about Discord, when people say they hang out there, do they just find a channel they like and keep up with the chat all day?

I think so. I’m in a few discords, but don’t really keep up with it. However, people seem to be active in them.

In world rankings US typically ranks dead last in a lot of metrics. Guess who ranks right next to them? That’s basically the problem, we’re so obsessed with the fact that we have it better than the US we aren’t willing to look at other countries and what they do better. As long as we don’t have “US style” healthcare that’s good enough for most people here.

I guess the joke is that someone is using logic and reasoning to figure out what propels a car as though it was some great mystery that needed to be analyzed and thought about. I don’t think it’s very funny and it could have also been your friend’s delivery.

It’s a fun word to say, say it with me

I’m guessing they think it’s pronounced balony

Makes it easier to figure out potential tax burden

I liked the strange new worlds time travel episode. It was tongue in cheek and a real fun episode with some character building.

Ah yes the African planet. Real TOS reject episode vibes.

That’s what is on the French packaging in Canada. In France I’ve seen Chamallows.

Can’t go anywhere without mine now. Movies, sporting events, bars. Just way too loud without earplugs

Haha, yeah we went to an Indian restaurant in Nimes because my friend has a severe gluten allergy. I had a vindaloo there that was milder than any food I’ve had in North America.

Ah I see. The ads I saw were on billboards so thankfully didn’t have to hear them. They were advertising some kind of “Louisiana” style chicken sandwich, which was ironic because the French find black pepper spicy. I can only imagine how mild it must actually be.

Empty stores, somehow, store managers had a perverse incentive to keep store inventory levels low. Their prices were really high as well. A rushed SAP implementation meant that executives didn’t have enough insight into business operations. You can read more here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_Canada

When I was in France this past spring I did see advertisements for Burger King so they must have had some success. I do remember McDonald’s having great dessert options.

Target’s failed expansion into Canada. It’s taught as a case study on what not to do in business schools now.

I think that’s a skewed way of looking at it. I can see the appeal if your family is able to take advantage. Like if your kids are off and your spouse doesn’t work (or maybe can also work remotely). That way you can enjoy some nicer weather and a different location and are able to stay longer. It’s definitely not for me because like you said I’d rather just have a vacation, but I think blaming it on capitalism is a bit of an odd way of looking at what’s essentially someone’s lifestyle choice.
