Lots of good articles on Canadian brutality in WW1 if you do a search. As for war crimes in particular, here's one of many articles mentioning how Canadians killed prisoners of war:
With global warming (and other factors) affecting coffee production and prices, I’ve noticed a couple of interesting patterns in marketing strategies for household and white label brands....
It takes time for earth worms to occupy available ecosystems. It's not like they're natural migrators. In particular, they're slow to cross rivers. Not very good swimmers either. I'm addition to agriculture and construction, anglers also seem to be spreading them.
A lot of things i thought were cute and nice like dolphines, ducks, cats (i saw one cat eat anothers new born), dogs (multiple cases of eating dead owners due to a variety of reasons starting from trying to wake em up to other malicious reasons), hamsters etc turned out to be wrong . Raccoons are the only thing i believe in...
I am worried that I drink too much at once. I don't drink coffee daily but typically when I do drink coffee I will have 4-6 shots of espresso. I am not asking if this is healthy per se, I'm more searching for confirmation that it isn't too uncommon lol....
3 or 4 double shots in the morning. Drip and (especially perc) coffee delivers more caffeine, mostly due to volume. I've knocked myself into jitters with drip on numerous occasions. Never done this with espresso.
You're fine. I've had baristas balk at a quad shot right after serving someone a 16oz. drip without even blinking. There's probably as much if not more caffeine in the 16oz. drip.
I had a customs officer take me aside and interrogate me after a series of long international flights. "If you don't have anything illegal, why are you so jumpy?"
"Because I've been awake for 48 hours straight and I'm getting interrogated by a guy in a uniform determined to pin something on me!?!" Motherfucker.
That shit scarred me, and I think was a major contributor to an anxious-preoccuppied attachment style as an adult. A lifetime of being put on a pedestal from the recognition I was bright and a novel thinker, and then the judgment when I inevitably goofed something up left me with a deep -rooted belief that the true me was unworthy and an inevitable fuck up. "Taniwha is an intelligent and capable person, if only he would stop being such a fuck around." I learned not to trust myself because inevitability I'd do something impulsive, or miss some social queue, or not stay with the program, which made me very Other-focused and wanting to do the "right thing" so I didn't let everyone down again.
Every single report card and evaluation I've ever received was full of back handed compliments pointing to a moral failing. "... if only he just completed his homework on time," "... needs to stay focused," "... too much time socialising with/distracting his neighbour."
"Lots of potential ... If only ..." Never enough.
Fuck you. That was the thing I was born to struggle with. How many stupid kids got sent home with report cards that said things like, "John's a hard worker and attentive student. He has a lot of potential, but he needs to work on not being stupid."
Parents: "Johnny. You NEED to stop being so stupid in class, and start being smarter or you're going to need Canada's most disciplined ditch digger."
To this day, an accomplished academic, a variable professional, and kind person I still freak out inside when someone gets excited about me. I keep falling into relationships with avoidants because trying to please someone who I've let down is just about all I know.
Is this comedy, or cross-cultural miscommunication? "I'm afraid," leaves half the thought unexpressed. It relies on a cultural understanding of being afraid of the shame of saying, "no," to someone.

How did we switched from "Dinosaur are giant lizards" to "Dinosaur are giant birds"
When I was a kid, I learned about Dinosaur being "giant lizard", and it's been may-be 10 years, that I hear "Birds are dinosaurs"....
