    This is why you don’t ask.

    Also, you don’t really need a whole day. I’m also Canadian. Employers are required to allow you time to do it, not an entire day.

    I would phrase the question like this: “I need to take time to go vote. Would you prefer I take the morning or afternoon off?”

    If they so no to both, you say “you know it’s illegal not to allow me time off to vote, right?”

    I’ve changed careers since the last election, but as a driver I’d just say “I’m going to swing by the polling place in my way to or back from wherever” and it was never a problem.

    Yup. Characters should remain consistent if it’s important.

    Tonto should not have been played by Johnny Depp. Gross.

    The original Ancient One was a poor stereotype of a Tibetan person and Tilda Swinton is cool so I’m ok with this one.

    Liam Neeson is a great actor with a ton of gravitas and he pulled off the role well, but yeah shoulda found a middle eastern dude. Maybe that hot Djin dude from American Gods can be the next Ras Al Ghul.

    Anything to do with Scarlet Witch’s background is a retcon, she was originally introduced as Magneto’s moustache twirling daughter. Despite her tan in the referenced photo she’s more often depicted as white, but I could see her being middle eastern, but it would make sense that she’s half Jewish at least, given her father’s background.

    Lastly, she’s a fucking mermaid. Who gives a shit? How many of the dude bros bitching even watched it?

    The word “carnivore influencer” just set me off haha.

    It’s so fucking obvious is it that these people are paid by the meat industry.

    Like, seriously. NOBODY has ever thought eating nothing but meat was a good idea until veganism became somewhat mainstream.

    It’s reactionary bullshit to keep the profits coming.
