I think I read a study once that women get complimented more on looks while men get more compliments on their outfit. I think compliments on outfit are a lot more fun because it's a compliment on a choice you made, not how you were born. I now try to always put in the effort to compliment people on choices.

I'm just happy that this semi-true fact led me to learn a whole lot about the nahuatl and their history!

Sadly no. It's called the upside down tree because it looks that way due to the way it was cultivated. https://web.archive.org/web/20161101060819/http://old.ubyssey.ca/culture/discover-the-best-trees-on-campus-992/

I haven't been able to go to the market without being handed at least one mandarine for free since december.

They changed all streets near the school to 30k zones (yeah!) a couple months back, but cars still regularly go way too fast. Doesn't help that the warning sign still flashes a smiley for anything under 50.

I have the exact same issue! Haven't met anyone else with the same problem yet. Really sucks that more and more non-diet drinks are containing some amount of artificial sweetener.

Really? You can buy a mix of nutella and peanut butter here in one jar (not mixed through but in the same jar like the colors of toothpaste)

They are not responsible per se, although you could claim rich countries have a responsibility towards poorer countries to help out. However, the way they stopped funding these projects, abruptly and without warning, means that other funders can't step in in time and charities organizing this help have no way to find solutions before people die. It is unnecessarily harmful.

As a sidenote, many issues charities are trying to help with are caused by climate change (for which richer countries are responsible in larger part) or past colonialism/exploitation by these richer countries, so they do have a responsibility.

This is all general stuff and not specific to this example..

And yet here's me rushing to pull my dog away from gobbling up his own vomit

Are annual welness exams common in the us? I've only ever gone to the doctor when somethings wrong. Presumably urgent cases can still be booked within a few days?
