You may be interested to read about the scheme of intellectual and ethical development by William Perry. This website has it discussed only in terms of cognitive development, but I think you'll see how it directly correlates to ethical development: https://neurolaunch.com/perrys-theory-of-cognitive-development/

I know someone who'd ordered a tent canopy/gazebo from the store. Heard no complaints from them about it.

I'm going to be the "um, akchually" person:

Lunar calendars, like the Chinese and Jewish ones, have leap months for the same reason the Gregorian calendar has leap days: to keep our seasons in line. It's an entire, extra doubled-up month. However, one would say that year has 13 months, not 12. (At least for the Chinese calendar, not sure about the Jewish one.)

Rexall and Well are owned by the same company. Rexall is on Well's website, and Rexall expanded their offerings to include products from Well that they didn't previously have. Also your can pick up Well orders at Rexall stores, and they share loyalty rewards. I certainly prefer them over Amazon and Shoppers Drug Mart where the same or comparable items are available. I still go to a local, independent pharmacy for meds, though.

Canada produces good content that we should be enjoying. CBC Gem is free with ads or for a reasonable, low cost ($7). CTV also carries Canadian stuff, though not as much as CBC. It also has some free offerings (not sure the subscription price). It is part of Bell, of course, but at least it is a Canadian conglomerate and not an American one. And both are available over the air, if you are in an area that receives their signals.

My dad (not even American, but he would 100% be Republican if he were) will randomly bring up Obama and Biden and blame them for the economy, and even blame them for what's happening in Iran. He claims that Trump had no choice but to attack Iran because of what Obama and Biden did to the economy 🤦🏻‍♀️

My father has multiple degrees and a professional designation, but he is living proof going to school doesn't make you smart.

I loved opening flip phones with a flick of the wrist, and the physical action of ending a call by closing it.

The philosophy of libraries are great, but the reality is that they are cost-centres that are usually financially neglected. Public libraries especially, IT depts especially especially. Ask any librarian or library worker ☹️

The author of Heated Rivalry donated $300k to save five libraries that were slated to close due to underfunding. That's wonderful news, but she's only bought them one year. But hopefully her celebrity and the donation brings enough attention to the matter. We need to vocally support libraries!

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that. As a non-American, I didn't realize the food safety situation was this dire. What an unnecessary, pointless death. How many more until the people finally turn on the government? Food is about as non-partisan or bi-partisan as you can get.

I honestly don't know if the demand for no French was being ridiculous on purpose (i.e., to ensure Canada does not accept and then they cry about it), or if it comes from a deep inferiority complex of only being able to speak one language. Or maybe both.

I just realised there are whole adults young enough to not know what 80s hair looked like. 🧓
