second is he goes back to a baby memory and kills himself or his mom from the womb I think?

there's also a cut scene earlier in the movie where the mom talks about having had multiple failed pregnancies before him

It'll be interesting to see what China's true emissions are, as opposed to their reported number, given how they just lie about every metric (covid deaths, poverty, etc)

It's a clear cut example of dog whistling. Without literally saying it, she engaged with the conversation in a way that tells conspiracy theorists "the US DoD is chemtrailing us"

What makes cop shooting ranges so special that they can't just pay to use public ones?

Fundamentally, the only people against this simply don't believe in covid. You don't see them crying on the internet about employers not letting people work on construction sites without hard hats - it's basic safety. As long as you accept that covid is dangerous, then you have no issue with employers requiring a vaccination.

It's just flatout wrong to say it makes no sense because an acronym is pronounced as a word, not an abbreviation of its words. AIDS isn't pronounced "awh-ids", NASA isn't pronounced "N-eh-sa".

Singh had many reasonable opportunities to do this over the last few years, but finally pulls the rip cord when the Conservatives are polling way ahead? What the fuck? He's such a useless piece of shit, why do the NDP keep him around

This is strictly untrue for many climates. Where I live in Canada, 0F is average winter day, 100F is record-breaking "I might actually die" levels of heat.

-30C to 30C is not any more complicated or less intuitive than -22F to 86F

A degree Celsius is not coarse and does not require decimals in weather reports, and I suspect only a person who has never lived in a Celsius-using country could make such silly claims.

It's a (small, shitty) subset of markdown. Slack formatting just kind of sucks.

Probably because they were raised in the post-Soviet mafia era.
