Every time I head to the second-hand store I pick up a couple new CDs and DVDs. It’s great! I’m paying max $3.99 apiece and I’ll own them forever.

I many cases, no. Where I live, a 16-year-old cannot:

• vote
• enlist in the armed forces
• sign legally binding contracts
• legally purchase alcohol, tobacco products, or cannabis
• buy lottery tickets or gamble at a casino
• serve on a jury
• buy or sell property
• marry
• inherit money or property
• own a credit card
• fully control their own medical decisions
• register as an organ donor
• quit school
• get a tattoo or a body piercing
• move out of their parents’ house

Some of these things can be done with parental consent or if particular circumstances apply (such as if the child in question is legally emancipated). But broadly speaking, there are a LOT of rights, responsibilities, and options that do not apply to anyone before the age of majority (18 here).

… or just leave.

I think you’d probably be better off talking to a local financial advisor and/or real estate agent than just asking lemmy over and over.

Evidence suggests you were mistaken for a bot.

To become a Canadian citizen you’d have to start by emigrating here, then get your Permanent Resident status, and then apply for citizenship.

Here’s some general information in immigrating to Canada: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada.html

I’m not sure about online sources, but this is a solid reference book: https://editors.ca/publications/editing-canadian-english/

Intimacy coordinators aren’t explaining how sex works to the actors, but helping to make sure that they’re comfortable with each other & what they’re being asked to do. They’re analogous to stunt coordinators in that way.

Part of this is helping actors to work through or find accommodations when they could be running up against situations that could trigger old traumas. So if one party has a history of assault, for example, the intimacy coordinator will work with them and their scene partner to make sure that what they’re acting out doesn’t mimic/mirror their experience.

Does that make sense?

Lol I can’t read today

You replied to a comment instead of the OP, so your answer looks a little funny from being out of context, that’s all.

My spouse and I were broke grad students with a baby on the way. We needed a car. Someone in our tiny town was selling a 1992 Accord for $1000 (this was in the early 2010s). We bought it and put in another $1000 to get it to run.

The only problem? It was a stick shift. I didn’t know how to drive standard; at the time, my spouse didn’t drive at all. I tried to learn, but I was so nauseated from my pregnancy that I nearly puked every time the car lurched… which was often. I never did get the hang of it. Eventually we bought a newer automatic car and traded the Accord in for a whopping $250.

These days we could weather a $2000 mistake without too many problems, but back then… yeah, that one hurt.

I saw sen-tar as well!

I use a mix of the two depending on the word.

Hello, may I introduce you to Canadian English?

Pulled pork:

• 1 red onion, thinly sliced, on the bottom layer
• A piece of pork (shoulder is probably best but I’ve also done tenderloin), trimmed
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce poured over the meat

Cook about 3-4h on high or 6-8ish on low. Remove pork, shred with a fork, return to slow cooker & stir everything up together before serving.

You’d be losing a lot of extra product to the trimming that way – or you’d maybe have to use individual molds for each bar. With a rectangular shape, you can pour the soap into slabs and then cut everything exactly to size with very little wastage.

I found a video showing the process (you can skip to about 3:30): https://youtu.be/TvIBzCIwpLM

Maybe look for coverage of a topic or event from a few major US media sites/papers, and then at the same event from somewhere outside the US.

Etc.

That sounds super frustrating!

Our stove has those and I’ve never noticed this; everything takes about the same time to cook as on our last stove, which had the older-style elements. I wonder if it might be a problem with your particular model or brand?
