I had a good experience with their customer service.

My Kobo bricked a few days after the warranty expired (it's possible I broke it installing koreader improperly or something) and they replaced it no problem.

Took a few weeks but I was happy they replaced it at all.

A ballet dancer who's going through some serious psychological shit, and the story of the movie is kinda a modern retelling of the ballet she's performing in

No, I'm saying teachers make considerably more than garbage collectors as in most places. I know they get next to nothing in deep red states but that's not the norm.

Also garbage collection is probably hard on your back and not suitable to do for a whole career, and is probably pretty boring, though some people like a boring job

Where do garbage collectors make more than teachers?

It's a decent union public sector job and pays decently, but so is teaching and that requires more education.

Interesting, I've been told that it's illegal to sleep in your car in Canada when drunk because being in a car with possession of the keys is enough to show intent to DUI and get arrested.

I imagine it's something you could fight in court and win with a good lawyer, but it always seemed counter intuitive to me.

I still engage in pretend play with friends in my 30s.

There's a rulebook and dice now, but same concept of fantasizing and making up stories.

We even do it outside in the summer

But since world war II the word has connotations of discrimination, superiority and harmful intent. Words change so the original definition isn't the correct one.

I'd give him more credit, it doesn't take a genius to encourage people to subscribe to a philosophy and or vote for a person that will benefit you.

He knows what he's doing

Under most definitions of racism that's not true. Racism is usually defined as towards a minority or marginalized group. Discrimination toward the dominant group isn't racism how it's usually understood.

Conservatives are trying to redefine it, but that's not the legal or academic definition anywhere where the courts haven't been hijacked by conservative nutcases.
