I’m imagining this might come from way back when it was common for buildings to just be walls and a roof, and the ground floor was literally just the ground. Then the second level, if there was one, would be the first time they actually built a floor.

The word “terrorist” has an incredible power to shut off people’s brains.

I can’t trust a car no matter how Japanese it is, but… I watched a lil docuseries on dangerous roads, and it seemed like at least 80% of the vehicles (outside of heavy trucks) were Toyota. I dunno if it’s because they’re the most reliable, or because Toyota just has the market in many of these developing countries, but it was interesting.

Canada is killing it. We added Nunavut a while ago to make 13 provinces/territories and continue to have a Prime Minister.

This is a list of people “to monitor and potentially groom”. You can’t exactly charge someone with “being monitored”.

Not to say collaboration isn’t happening—it sounds like it absolutely is, but this is not the list of collaborators.

I wish people didn’t have such a tendency to think of things as binary, when basically nothing is. It’s super unhelpful.

When I worked for a guy who kept chickens in the back yard, the eggs came out in every shade from dark brown to white, and some had freckles. I don’t know how they get them to be just two uniform colours (brown/white) in the grocery store, but I assume the white ones must be bleached. Some are naturally brown, others may be dyed.

But I agree that we should be suspicious whenever marketing is involved.
