I hate that my country uses a mix of metric and imperial units but sqft is the most common unit for area of housing or rooms. Its about 45-90 square meters, which is something you could have easily converted online or with a calculator.

I have a small house on about 1/2 acre. It is in more of a small town though.

Smaller houses or apartments are actually great. Not like shed sized but 500-1000 sqft units are great for singles or couples on a budget. I’ve met a lot of retirees that downsize as well.

I was expecting his leadership to reflect his book values more, but the complexity of geopolitics, or some other factor, has put that aside.

My thought process is that she is insinuating something from those bows that doesnt seem based in reality. Its far more likely that the panties have a bow because its cute and aesthetically pleasing than it is big panty pushing an infantizing agenda.

There are plenty of bowless underwear available online and at most retailers from several brands. If women stopped buying the bow the market wouldn’t be so flooded with them. There’s definitely a lot out there with the bow but i doubt it would be hard to find basic underwear without the bow. If you want more lacey and floral designs, i could see it being harder to find bowless underwear.

Not gonna lie, i consider that little button and flap aesthetic. 99% of the time i just pull the elastic down. Its easier and faster than fiddling with some button and pulling my bits through the hole

“A man will only want me if my panties have a bow”

Girl, that man should want you well before he has seen your panties.

It could be a bit of both. Its both aesthetically pleasing and had a historic use.

For me it depends on several factors including cost, location, and purpose. An industrial sites main building? Yea brutalism is fine and fits nicely. Downtown’s main transit terminal? I guess brutalist is better than no terminal but I’d rather see a more human friendly design.

For the second comment, if the bow is there to please men and infantilize women, why don’t you just buy a pair that doesn’t have the bow? I’m all for calling out sexism and over sexualization, but i think this is just a case of capitalism being capitalism. Panties with bows probably just sell better to a significant demographic of women.

Canada did a similar thing and even though the price did drop by the tax amount, the cost of oil still rose and gas rose with it. It caused many right wingers to call our pm a “liar” (even tho all he promised was the removal of said tax, he can’t control the price of oil). They all also called it ineffective, which sure it doesnt do much, but it does exactly what was advertised.

I don’t think it was a great move. IMO we would have been better keeping the tax and investing that money in the country such as infrastructure, public transit, housing, green energy. Keeping the tax could have also squeezed people to drive less, carpool, or otherwise reduce fuel price, but that would be painted as big bad government won’t help the people.

As far as I’m aware, the gas tax, or other roadway/vehicle taxes, have never covered the costs of roads. Roads are incredibly subsidized.

Should be 2 of them side by side

You aren’t fully dressed until you’ve got your hat. Send me back a century its difficult to find good quality hats these days and the sizes are more generic.

I gotta plan for that, the rats nest of hat hair doesn’t always win them over

I have long hair and thats half the reason i wear a hat. Keeps it under control and the wind pushing little strands around on top of my head and in my face really bothers me.

I’m the opposite. I feel like I’m naked if I’m outside without a hat and everyone is judging me for it.

She’s setting the standard early

Since summer is just starting you might be able to find a landscaper to hire you on now with your relevant experience and you can keep looking for another position while hired. It is up to you how transparent you want to be about that. Some people are fine hiring temporary help and won’t mind if you find something better, others its best to hide your true intentions and just get a few pay cheques. Many municipalities have seasonal landscaping type jobs and it could be an “in” for you for other municipal positions if you have a good relationship with your co-workers, especially management or supervisors.
