They will ask that, but there’s often space to explain because of things like this and political prisoners. I’m not sure how Canada’s forms work and if he was convicted of something closer to selling multiple pounds to minors than simple possession*, that probably wouldn’t fly no matter what, but it’s definitely worth a shot.

*intent to sell is also determined very differently in different countries- in Germany, for example, having a scale stored with your supply or having multiple strains of weed in separate bags would not bump you up to intent to sell, but it does in the US

Doritos did actually buy Taco Bell, in a sense.

Tea linked to stronger bones in older women

I was already wondering if they were picking up on differences in Asian nutrition and the effects of increased tofu consumption, and then this link was mentioned:

“While moderate coffee drinking appears safe, very high consumption may not be ideal, especially for women who drink alcohol,” he says.

When I think of beverage-related ways to isolate western women, coffee and alcohol seems like a good combination, though you miss the UK, Ireland, and part of the population in other commonwealth countries.

Reading the study, however, it followed primarily white women, so that’s probably moot. The article should definitely mention that the research relies mostly on white women though. I hope further studies look into more diverse subject pools though.

Uncovered: Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.

Tbh, I don’t think there is a good app alternative and my priority would be moving somewhere where I can do my own grocery shopping. You don’t need a car if you’re close enough to go twice a week. I know it’s not easy, but that would be what I was working towards. You’re paying a serious premium with things like instacart even before you get to the delivery.

People who don't have much friends: Do you think you would've have a better social life if the internet didn't exist?

跳过

We’ve got friends who are about to have their second kid, and they’re going a little nuts because they want to socialize a lot more than they are, but can only hang out at like 10:30 am.

I asked them why they don’t just make friends with other parents in the area (they moved to a kid friendly neighborhood with a bunch of young families), and they kind of made a face and didn’t answer.

But like, why not? It seems like the perfect topic to bond over and you can watch the kids together, giving you plenty of time to hang out.

Merkel famously hated Putin. They worked together, for better or for worse, but she did not personally like him. She has a phobia of dogs and he’s a dog lover, which she would have obviously been fine, but he brought a large dog to one of their meetings after her office had requested otherwise, which she felt was an attempt to intimidate her.

Management lingo irritates me the most actually

idiomaddict @lemmy.world 6天前

Good management is just good people skills. If you don’t have them, intentionally defanging your speech/correspondence helps prevent blowups. Unfortunately for people working under managers with bad people skills, this doesn’t actually make up for and mostly just highlights their managers’ deficits.

Tl;dr: management speak is intentionally harmless in and of itself, but is an obvious symptom of bad management.
