MAID being pushed on poor people, MAID being pushed on veterans asking for mental health

many Canadians will know examples of it being abused

ah i see thank you

Yes, so is this the same Hue as in the cloud?

isn't hue a kind of vietnamese soup? bun bo hue?

modern problems, modern solutions

Am I the only one who remembers the Israelis going psycho all over the globe murdering Nazis and creating a shitstir everywhere with the Mossad?

Then there’s the Saudis, the Cubans, the CIA, really, being murderous cunts is not solely reserved for the Russians, if anything it’s just another one of nation state’s favorite pastimes.

ngl i dont remember the mossad one, when was that?

those risks could be mitigated by making deliberate and thoughtful policy–

the problem is that these sorts of problems are never even considered by govts until it's too late.

Immigrants make the best citizens. They actively want or need to be there, so they’re more likely to participate in the less glamorous parts of being a citizen. They build resilient communities, expose their new neighbors to different cultures and experiences, open great restaurants, and are less likely to commit crimes than existing citizens.

We are all better off when there’s a large and diverse immigrant population. It enriches everyone, both culturally AND financially.

We need more immigrants, not fewer.

There are two sides. They also can introduce problems to their new countries that largely solely exist in their home countries. For example, the UK has one of the highest rate of acid attacks, but this is fairly recent problem in the UK. There were all the sexual assaults in Europe in recent years. In North America there is caste discrimination in cities like San Francisco and Toronto. There are separatist/sectarian violence in developed countries which would not otherwise have it. An example from hongkong is sometimes triads will go to other countries and operate there.

Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers.

i hate that i can read this

from what i've found, they took advantage of a women who's had multiple brain injuries and listed her as their birth mother and used her to claim the inuit status

i thought armenia was allied with nato recently?

i remember when people made jokes like this as a form of satire, didn't expect to see this real

Would this help with identification of the remains found along the texas border? there are quite a few unidentified remains found and they are hypothesized to be from this group

It does, the article that was linked even says red is a very auscipious colour in Indian culture

So, a coincidence?

Do you have a source on that?

I can't see (in Chinese culture at least) that the cheapest colour would be used for something like a wedding, it would not reflect well on one's family to use something cheap. The reds i'm referring to are bright reds, like jewel red, not like a dull/muddy red

? because you always need ibuprofen for something, it's cheaper to buy in bulk, and it's more conveneint to have it laying around already than having to go and get some when you need it already

i wish there were more people on here, i feel like i'm talking to a wall

i'm pretty sure i'm basically the only poster on r/hongkong and i'm not even a mod there (which would be a valid reason for being the only poster)

well sure, lots of people commit suicide by hanging themself but that doesn't stop us planting trees or building bridges, i consider the uk way to be overly cautious, for the majority of people ibuprofen is not a problem and i think it's frustrating to just get little amounts

I thought we were talking about the UK? Why does it matter whether it’s prescription in the US?

the question is asking what's something that americans/europeans do that makes no sense to you. the fact that i can't get a big pack of ibuprofen like i can in the US doens't make sense to me

it wasn't COVID, this was before COVID
