So, OP, what did you decide on?

I don't see any cats in this picture.

This is the Eldorado (though which incarnation is uncertain) in Berlin, the center of Christopher Isherwood's novels which later inspired the musical Caberet.

Yeah, I suspected you were a troll. Blocked. Goodbye.

Fuck spez, fuck his not-covert support of Trump, misogyny and the alt-right neo-Nazis, and fuck him blatantly trying to profit from my comments and submissions.

They picked up at least once citizen who had his passport card on him and put him in detention anyway, saying the card was fake. Which is why due process for everyone is important, because otherwise you'd never get the opportunity to prove you're really a citizen.

I do this when a company is doing something I want to encourage. I have a friend who's deaf but we go to open-captioned movies, and I always stop by customer service to thank them for doing those showings. My cousin is immunocompromised, and I stop by the customer service desk at the grocery store to thank them for continuing to provide the cart wipes.

I know that Canada and the US used to often do things very similarly (sorry about gestures broadly). I'm not sure how similar we were in measles vaccination. In the US, the vaccination recommendations are:

  • If you were born in or before 1957, you're presumed to be immune.

  • If you were born after 1957 and were never vaccinated, get vaccinated.

  • If you were vaccinated before 1967, they strongly recommend you get a booster shot. (The original vaccine wasn't as effective as the later vaccine.)

  • If you were vaccinated between 1968 and 1989, they'd like you to get a booster shot. (They originally thought that vaccine provided lifetime immunity, but that eventually wore down. A booster brings you back up to snuff.)

  • If you were vaccinated after 1989, you should have gotten two shots and should be fine. If you're concerned, you can tested for immunity.

Apparently there was some school of teaching for a while, where the teachers were emphasizing getting your ideas down on paper quickly, without regard for spelling, spacing, paragraph-ing, punctuation, verb tense, etc. I ran across it when I was trying to find out why there was this generation of fanfic writers who had interesting concepts but couldn't write to any kind of standard - and who were extremely resistant to any suggestions. Some of the concepts sounded really interesting, too, but it was entirely too much work to try to parse the story.
