Let me explain it as it was explained to me when I lived outside my home country when I was young.
When you travel or live abroad you are a guest. You should be on your best manners as you would if you were in the home of a stranger who invited you over. Further, you are an unofficial diplomat for your home country and should act with that in mind for as long as you are there. Don't insist your culture, your language or your sense of entitlement upon your hosts.
Absolutely. For me it's all about harm reduction so as long as I am trying to improve, I can still fall short sometimes without having a crisis of conscience.
I am aware and I do make every effort to reduce and remove dairy (and eggs) from my diet, but I recognize that I fall short of what I would consider vegan. Like if I'm at a party and am offered cake I'm probably going to eat it even though there's probably egg in it, but I'm not going to order an egg-based dish, same with dairy if we're having pizza or something. As I get older I'm increasingly lactose intolerant anyway, so I have additional incentive to avoid it.
Rennet makes this a much more complicated decision for vegetarians. Like, if I know that the cheese was made with bacteria-derived enzymes, then that's cool, but it's really hard to know and trusting random cheese is just like still eating beef sometimes, so even though I'm vegetarian I end up being so picky about cheese that I hardly eat it anyway.
The meaning of the idiom is remarkably clear in English. I propose we adopt this one.
Quit adter the mistlands update but still feel like I got my moneys worth.
I never made this connection but now I imagine this as Holden being self-aware / self-critical.
He wanted any excuse to forestall the corruption trials for him and his wife. A forever war / genocide worked out perfectly for him.
It might be best to connect it to a network that just blackholes the traffic so it doesn't go hunting for some open wifi.
Recording without consent is very much a crime in any two-party state, but my guess is that the TOS that people click past to use the TV gives them permission to record you. If it didn't, they would be in big legal hot water.
I'd support the Trump Memorial Wind Farm as long as it was placed off the coast by one of his golf courses.
The check is always in the mail with this guy.
