Because this needs to be done 1000% right, there is no margin for error, everything has to be done in an iron clad manner that cannot be dismantled by half-assing it. Indicting a former president is a first in the history of this country, and this former president is nothing short of a cult leader with millions of unshakable followers, many of whom are armed to the teeth and ready to burn this country to the ground for him. So this has to be done very friggin carefully.

So you're saying if my parents had let me play video games, my childhood traumas would have been easier to deal with. Those f%*&ers....

I use to inhale tobacco and ingest alcohol and eat at McDonalds. How much worse can those chemicals be.

With great fandom comes great responsibility.

Don't try to connect from where you are. Reach him where he is. Learn his language, and learn to think like him, and don't force it. Remember that it is as hard for him to connect with others as it is for you to connect with him, that doesn't mean he doesn't want to or care.

Anyone ever watched the CBC mini series H2O ?

Canada has about 10% of our neighbour's population count, while flushed with natural resources they are running out of starting with clean water. If they go full far right, we become 51.

My 6ft tall great grandmother would have scrubbed the toilet with that shrimp.

Hey, you know what they say about our generation: At the age of 10 we were 30, and now at 50 we're still 30.

Today is a good day for my childhood to die.

My son was diagnosed before he even turned 3 and his younger sister was being assessed, both of them are non-verbal. What I was learning about it put so many things from my entire childhood and youth in perspective and everything finally made sense, so I consulted and sure enough was diagnosed myself. My parents refused to accept it, they said I'm making excuses to not act "normally" and have cut all contact. I made my peace with that and am grateful about it, I no longer have to tolerate toxic people demeaning me for who I am, and my children sure don't deserve that.

Doesn't understand or doesn't care???

Look, the one thing I am genuinely, no kidding surprised about is that he didnt try to sell tickets to see the mugshots taken live, at like 25k a pop.

It's not just America. It's the whole world right now.

I used to work as a fraud analyst in a call center for a financial institution, salary was great and the benefits were quite generous. Management were dillholes and clients made me lose faith in humanity quite quickly and I wanted to cry every day before work so much I was burnt out from it. Now I work as nightwatchman for a vacation resort, make less money and not much in terms of benefits but I'm easy as Sunday morning and my partner enjoys being around me again. Plus, when you consider how much income tax more I was paying before, I'm not making THAT much less when all is said an done. I was always frugal in my lifestyle anyway, I don't drink or smoke, I don't play video games, I don't really go out, I learned to repair my own clothes rather than buy new ones and I don't like brand names, and I pay a mortgage rather than rent so I have money left after the 1st of the month. So I don't have an exciting and extravagant life, but I'm quite content.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk!

The red flags are many. Starting with the absolute lack of bureaucracy and wait time; you got an almost immediate callback (Flag 1), and then after answering multiple intrusive questions over the phone (Flag 2) you were told during the same call that you were elligible (Flag 3). Then the "fee" that you need to pay right away if you don't wanna miss your chance (Flag 4). The accent, as you mentioned, is also a possible red flag.

Before you pay anything, I would strongly suggest you contact your local American Embassy (sorry but you'll see what I mean about bureaucracy and wait time...) and ask them to provide you with proper information AND accurate phone number to contact the service you allegedly spoke to so you can verify with them if the call you had was legitimate or not.

In Canada we call that Tim Hortons

Pfff. Amateurs. I did much worse for a spider!!!

Season 4, deep cut! Sensing we're both from the same generation...
