They really didn't do grass, huh.

I'd say it's probably averaged from bra sizes sold by some company.

Ivy! I think mine was Talim, with the tonfas.

I don't really understand the reason for the sand. I thought having sand where you want plants was mostly a bad thing?

Making first past the post worse is a challenge. I'm proud of Americans for raising the bar of terrible voting systems

Ah man. I have a colleague who we call a pigeon behind his back for his funny voice, low intelligence and bad attitude. This is perfect, except in his case the head-licopter collides with a window all the same.

This is so unapologetically the Nazi empire now it's not even funny. They're just screaming the quiet part - all the quiet parts - out loud.

Maybe a quarter of my class held their pencil various "wrong" ways and no one seemed to care beyond "huh, that's original". Same with eating utensils.

I don't think it has much, if anything, to do with autism.

Yes, but since volunteering is a thing, they may think they're in the clear. Doubt they are though.

Sounds illegal.

Parties used to get a bit of funding for every vote. Conservatives didn't like that and they repealed it under Harper.

Now all they get is, I guess, pride?

In a riding where the other candidates don't stand a chance, I vote for the candidate who doesn't stand a chance but whose party's values I like best. Like the NDP or the greens.

Doesn't do much, but in a way, it's freeing and I can pretend I'm free to vote for anyone.

If someone has a chance to beat the worst candidate, though, I'll vote for the most likely one. And that's the most depressing situation of all.

I really hate this voting system. But it'd take a miracle for it to change.
