I was sitting in the passenger seat while my boyfriend was driving yesterday and waiting at a red light. As soon as the light turned green and we started moving into the intersection a bit, an oncoming car sped toward us and turned left, cutting us off and making my bf have to slam on the brakes. I guess my bf saw that the other driver was black because he screamed out "Stupid fucking n*****!". I immediately was in shock because in the 2 years we have been together, I've never heard him say anything like that before. Even though I'm not black, (I'm white, my bf is of Chinese descent, although he grew up here in Canada from the age of 4), I still have some very close friends who are black and I felt a bit of shame for some reason. Even though I didn't say it myself. After a few seconds of silence, I spoke up and told him I wished he didn't say stuff like that. My bf just curtly replied "Whatever, the moron should learn to drive." I've been thinking about it all day and I love my bf a lot and don't feel like this is something breakup worthy, but I want to talk to him more about this and steer him to be better. Any advice on how to proceed?

If you know, you know.

The brand is Pearl River Bridge Superior Dark. I tasted a bit and it seemed fine, but I forget what a new bottle tastes like. Seemed a little milder and less earthy than I remember? I dunno. I'm planning on making a soy braised chicken with xiang gu mushroom.

Alas, they decided to shoot themselves in the foot by trying to be too cute.

You may not like it and find it tacky and corny, but it's a quick way to signal "I'm rugged and manly" or maybe "I'm alt and rock and roll" and chicks dig that. It is what it is.

Stop with the FOMO.

Only moron countries like Canada use this metric to obsfucate how badly the government has financially mismanaged the counrty. Not to mention calculating how much the government owes is EASY. Calculating the FMV in PV or liquidation basis of all the various government liquid and illiquid and/or in legally questionable ownership financial assets to be received is HARD. There is a reason that government debt has not been calculated like this for centuries. This whole concept of Net International Investable Position or whatever is a completely pointless number. It literally means nothing in the real world except for some theoretical implication. It's comparing apples to oranges. There is a reason why all accounting standards show liabilities and assets categorized by current or long-term. Also, if hypothetically, Japan sells off all its assets to pay its debt, then what? It's like me saying I can easily pay back my staggering credit card debt by selling my house and car. Okay. What's the housing market like? How long will it take to sell? What am I actually getting instead of my expectations? Great, I sold my house and car and paid back all my obligations. Now my ass is on the fucking street and I got no ride to go to work. Now what?

Because of the smaller size and shorter angular circular movement of the much shorter sub dial seconds hand, it's almost not visible to the human eye to differ between 4hz or 5hz. What's the point? I suppose you could drain the mainspring power by running the chrono the whole time but then you get a permanently shit power reserve amount.

We don't need every single watch manufacturer in the world to have least one model in every category. If your forte is not divers, don't make divers. If your forte is not chronographs, don't make them. I feel like watch manufacturers are losing a lot of their identity by trying to cater to every category when they would potentially be a stronger brand if they distilled their offerings. Sure, they may miss out on sales for certain categories of watches, but you don't see Ferrari try to make a competitor to the Toyota Corolla because it might "miss out" on that market segment, do you? (Then again, Ferrari does make that stupid-ass SUV now, so I concede to the growing in-validness of my point...)

Like in Whitecaps, Tony hugs his kids goodbye in a super sad scene, then immediately turns around and gets "the stuff he needed" out of the fridge and dips. Just chuckling to myself thinking about it. This show is a fucking masterpiece.

Seeing their facial reaction is pure unadulterated and uncut white crystal dopamine for me. The best.

Don't even have to be fancy in-house movements (obviously not feasible), just contract a somewhat decent level watch maker, maybe independent like Oris or something to stick their names on to.

... represents the same type of self-deluding panacea that we wrap ourselves with, but physiologically speaking, clothing avails our need to protect our modesty (so we're not out there signalling our biologically need to procreate by signalling arousal when seeing the nude opposite sex form day and night) and gives us a last layer of shelter, warmth and protection.

What does a watch represent? Shackles. Shackled to the concept of having to know the time constantly because you HAVE to be somewhere to meet someone else or HAVE to be somewhere at some specific time. You are inherently subservient. The evolved man has no such need.

For context to the story, I'm Canadian. Went to a LCS for the first time to buy some coins. They asked for ID for reporting and I gave them my PAL (gun license in Canada) and the guy at the counter got pissed off, asking if I was insinuating that he was dishonest. I replied flatly, "No, that's just what I have on me." I was then asked to leave and not come back. Weird interaction tbh. Gotta go to the other place now, but at least the premiums at both are comparable.
