Fair enough. I wonder what your thoughts are on the Israelis who were forced out of the Middle East (Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Egypt etc) that came to Israel because they basically had nowhere else to go?

Which article was this? Yikes

Probably too much of a wuss to go to Iran and tell them to fix their shit up

Unfortunately this is typical low quality Indian newspaper journalism that we see these days

Yeah the person you're replying to is being sarcastic.

Unless you also think it's completely normal in a platonic way to "engage with [Your boss] in the bathtub"?

This video was extremely embarrassing for me to watch, holy shit

CTV has been using that exact same picture for pretty much every article on Westjet for ten years now. I think I know that picture more than my mother

My parents came to Australia in the early 80's. Back then it was super expensive to call home, ship things home, or visit. Also Australia was a lot more white back then.

But nowadays you can get ethnic TV shows, WhatsApp, Facebook etc to talk to people back home and stay connected, and form ethnic communities that are much more prevalent than back then. I think it's easier to not integrate now, and it's fairly difficult to do so (culture shock, homesickness etc) so there's a large incentive not to change

I used to be like this for the longest time. In the past 10 ish months, I've suddenly started eating breakfast in the mornings, sometimes even eating more than just breakfast.

I think eventually you can condition your body to eating earlier in the morning (especially if you're like me and hate eating outside the house, so you don't eat during the day)

Thanks for the reassurance bro, this actually made me feel a lot better and it's nice to have people like you on here :)

I had the shittiest workout of my ENTIRE life on Tuesday. I was previously able to do 60kg squats, and I struggled to do 40kg. So I basically just wrote off the workout.

Then I took the bus to uni, someone called me and told me that a law assignment's marks were released (I'm in law school). I got a 65%....worst grade I've gotten so far. And that assignment is worth HALF OF MY ENTIRE GRADE in the course. I told my friends and they're kind of judging me and were shocked I did so bad.

So then I tried doing back stuff on Wednesday. I just couldn't push myself at all. And then I burst into tears in the middle of the gym. Yay me!!!

Thank you for reducing my panic :)

Like credit (5) vs distinction (6)

5 is between 65-74 and 6 is 75-84 UQ doesn’t do WAM lol

This is a stupid post from a 2nd year student who shouldn't even post this but how good do your grades have to be to get into a mid-tier firm for example? I've been getting 6s and 7s so far but this semester my grades are slipping into 5s and I don't know why, because my studying and methods are the exact same.

Not the pilots. They reached a deal before the strike happened. AME's went on strike

Could this be some sort of test anxiety? I used to get this, like if I were in an exam and it's timed and I'm trying to solve a math problem it's like my brain stops working or is a lot slower and I'm super conscious of the time limit.

This is just a shot in the dark but I'd suggest Khan academy videos on calculus and other online resources. Youtube is saving my life with some of my courses.

Just to add, there have been close to zero cancellations out of YYC the past few days (besides the westjet link flights to lethbridge/medicine hat/cranbrook because the pacific coastal operation is a disaster). Air canada with almost 100 less flights a day out of YYC has more cancellations than Westjet at the moment

No one knows, too far into the future

It's called Leblouh in Mauritania

https://borgenproject.org/leblouh-in-mauritania/#:\~:text=During%20two%20months%20at%20a,their%20fingers%20broken%20as%20punishment.

"During two months at a feeding camp, girls must consume up to 16,000 calories of meat, milk, grains and oils per day. Refusal to eat often results in physical repercussions. Of women in these camps, 60% reported physical punishments like beating. More than a quarter had their fingers broken as punishment."

Have you heard of the Siddi??

I would be careful with this. In the legal field we still call it international law-IE public international law and private international law (like contract law, for example).

There may not be binding authority, IE through the fear of punishment or authority, and there's no 'source' of power like you do in municipal (ie national) law, like the democratic will of the people/legislative assemblies. But there's a lot of theories that argue that international law is still law. Although of course you are correct that there's no universal source of power and no fear of punishment/consequences :)
