This is terrible reporting.

Fact: You cannot hire foreign workers unless you can’t find anyone in Canada to do the job. Companies have been using some loopholes to circumvent this.
New Policy aims to make it harder to circumvent amongst other things.

Daily post needs to read and understand the policy before publishing anything.

This has nothing to do with those currently working or have their work permit.
Exactly. They're shutting down the Indian worker scam.

Evolutionary/biological reasons why women respond more to male upper body musculature:

1.) Associated with fighting ability, and specifically ability to protect.

2.) Associated with greater ability to acquire resources.

3.) Indicates health (disease resistance) and access to resources (food).

It seems like a significant percentage of men who struggle with their sexual orientation are very angry with women, even to the point of abuse. Which I don't get. How/why does that end up being directed at women?

This also reminds me of how ancient Romans would sleep with men because they didn't think very much of women. And even today in West Asia, a lot of men sleep with men because, again, they have a very low opinion of women, don't interact with them much, and don't even allow them to have public lives (Islam).

legitnow1:
when u sit down and talk with them, it always comes back to South African women.

I think that is the root of their Xenophobia.
I think that's part of it. But I think maybe a bigger part of it is internalized racism, and also the simple fact that many of these South Africans are mulattos, they're not even black people. But maybe I'm wrong. I don't know if there's history of them going after nonblack men for "taking" their women.

Asian men are in a similar position, but they don't spaz out over foreign men dating their women really. They'll even hook foreign men up with their women. A few might get angry, but usually those men are viewed as losers/jealous. If Asian men do notice one too many women going for foreigners, that drives them to change how they are rather than attack the guys. However, some of them do turn up social pressure on women not to date out. But again, they direct that at the women, not the foreign men.

Edit: Thought the pic was alcohol. But this is still good info.

You know, I never thought alcohol was so bad before unless someone really abused it. But it does bizarre things to the body. A lot of things that people think are caused by old age, are actually from alcohol.

https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/types-dementia/alcohol-related-brain-damage-arbd

Did you know alcohol can make your joints die?

The increased fat content of the blood causes blockage of the blood vessels. The head of the femur is especially susceptible to decreased blood flow and it may lead to aseptic necrosis/cell death.

Additionally, fat cells known as adipocytes increase in the head of the femur. This causes an increase in pressure inside the head of the femur. The increased pressure further decreases the blood flow inside the head femur.

Alcohol also acts as a direct cellular toxin causing damage to the bone cells. The affected cells undergo changes that ultimately lead to cell death/necrosis. The healthy bone gets replaced with dead and fibrotic tissues.

1.) Some people just don't have the genetics for muscular legs regardless of how hard they train.

2.) Some men are only training to attract women, so they focus on upper body because that's what women tend to notice.

3.) Some men are former inmates. And for various reasons, they focus on upper body training in prison.

4.) Some men might think it's feminine or "gay" to build the lower body up (it's not). They're maybe afraid they'll get a big booty.

Magnificenttop:
Butt, boobs, hips, waist, body proportion, body frame and curve are all different things.
This present generation misunderstands figure 8 or hourglass figure. You now see women everywhere go about in disfigured, funny-looking bodies.
The most irritating of these are those who undergo surgery to have extremely round and wide hips, big boobs and in contrast, too tiny waist but you see wack men everywhere like this op who call it beautiful.
Nature is not too perfect, that is why it's beautiful. It is called 'curvy' not expected to be 'round' like a circle. Figure 8 is just a figure of speech, common sense doesn't expect anyone to 'literally' look like 8 or hourglass.
This present generation almost cannot get anything right, folks keep getting dum ber by the day.
Don't forget about the nasty bleaching.

Losers think this is sexy:

Unless someone is elderly, has some sort of health condition, or both parents work very long hours, the only reason they hire people as "house help" is so they can pretend they're rich and have servants, and so they can abuse these people. It's a disgusting practice that needs to stop. People try to normalize it by claiming these people are being helped, but they're just being exploited. It's human trafficking.

Crawfish
Crawfish - African Americans love Crawfish. Me I can hardly find something eat in a Crawfish grin

I love the very white ones they sell in Nigeria market- my mom do blend and made sauce from it. Delicious with rice or yams.
Crayfish, crawfish, and crawdads are the same thing. Prawns are just really big shrimp. Langoustines are another type of shellfish that looks like a crawfish, but they're actually a type of lobster.

But they basically all offer the same flavors to whatever dish you would want to use one of them for with slight differences in flavor (e.g. sweeter) and texture.

Foreign Affairs › Kenya’s Deputy President Sacked While In Hospital by Cousin9999(op): 2:30am On Oct 20, 2024
Kenyan senators have voted to remove Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua from office despite his failure to testify at his impeachment trial after his lawyer said he had been taken to hospital. In one of the most dramatic days in Kenya's recent political history, Gachagua had been due to appear in the Senate to defend himself on Thursday, a day after he had pleaded not guilty to 11 charges. However, Gachagua, popularly known as Riggy G, did not show up and his lawyer requested a postponement saying his client was suffering from chest pains and was being treated by doctors at The Karen Hospital. Senators chose to continue the trial without him, prompting the defence team to leave the chamber. The senators’ refusal to delay proceedings until Saturday - as long as would have been legally allowed - shows their determination to oust Gachagua, several months after he fell out with President William Ruto.

Last week, an overwhelming majority of MPs in the National Assembly - the lower house of parliament - voted to impeach him, setting the stage for his two-day trial in the Senate. Gachagua, a wealthy businessman from the vote-rich central Mount Kenya region who was present in the house on Thursday morning before falling ill, has described the impeachment as a "political lynching". President Ruto has moved quickly to name a replacement and on Friday morning, nominated Interior Minister Kithure Kindiki to become his deputy. This has been unanimously approved by parliament. The 52-year-old is a close ally of the president and served as his lawyer during his trial for crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court (ICC) that was eventually dismissed because of a lack of evidence. However, in another dramatic development on Friday, the Nairobi High Court has suspended the impeachment, and Kindiki's swearing-in until it hears a case on the matter on 24 October.

On Thursday evening, the required two-thirds of the 67 senators upheld five charges including inciting ethnic divisions and violating his oath of office. This is enough for him to to be removed from office. The unprecedented move means he cannot hold public office again and he also loses any retirement benefits.

He was cleared of six charges including corruption and money-laundering. This comes just two years after Ruto and Gachagua were elected on a joint ticket. The vote draws a line under months of infighting at the top level of government and consolidates Ruto’s hold on power. The row came to a head in June when Gachagua, in an act seen as undermining the president, blamed the head of the intelligence agency for not properly briefing Ruto and the government over the magnitude of mass protests against unpopular tax hikes. In a huge blow to his authority, Ruto had just been forced to withdraw the taxes. He sacked his cabinet and brought in members of the opposition to his government. At the start of the trial, one of Gachagua’s lawyers, Elisha Ongoya, said all of the allegations were "either false, ridiculous or embarrassing". Before the vote, Gachagua had said he would challenge the decision if it passed.

A doctor is quoted by the Reuters news agency as saying the 59-year-old had gone to hospital with heart trouble, but was stable and undergoing tests. Ruto has not commented on the impeachment of his deputy or his removal from office besides informing parliament on Friday of his nomination of Kindiki. Ruto and Gachagua were elected on a joint ticket two years ago - and the partnership helped Ruto win by marshalling support in Mount Kenya, the heartland of the Kikuyu people who are the largest voting bloc in Kenya. Ruto himself became deputy president on a joint ticket with Uhuru Kenyatta, also a Kikuyu - but fell out with his boss who refused to back him to become president in 2022. The pair had joined forces when they both faced trial at the ICC for their part in electoral violence following the 2007 election in which 1,200 people were killed. The prosecution dropped charges against then-President Kenyatta in 2014 and judges threw out the case against Ruto in 2016, one noting a "troubling incidence of witness interference and intolerable political meddling". Kindiki, who also from the Mount Kenya region, had been a top contender to replace Gachagua. His nomination requires parliamentary approval before he is sworn in, but it is unlikely to face difficulties as Ruto has the majority in parliament as well as the backing of the main opposition party.

People like freebies even when they don't really "need" it, especially food.

There are people in the US with good jobs who will be happy about a free coffee, or free food at work.

Even Oprah Winfrey was standing in line for a free makeup sample one time. lol She didn't even think of it as strange until people started recognizing her, and then she got embarrassed and left. But guess what? She still called the company to get free samples, which they gladly gave because she's Oprah Winfrey.

Also, a lot of celebrities who have tons of money are given freebies all the time, which they don't turn down. Food, clothes, jewelry. All kinds of things.

-More pollution caused by Chinese
-More accidents caused by Chinese
-More crime caused by the Chinese criminals they'll employ
-More racism experienced by the few Nigerians they'll employ
