  • They will ask that, but there’s often space to explain because of things like this and political prisoners. I’m not sure how Canada’s forms work and if he was convicted of something closer to selling multiple pounds to minors than simple possession*, that probably wouldn’t fly no matter what, but it’s definitely worth a shot.

    *intent to sell is also determined very differently in different countries- in Germany, for example, having a scale stored with your supply or having multiple strains of weed in separate bags would not bump you up to intent to sell, but it does in the US





  • Good management is just good people skills. If you don’t have them, intentionally defanging your speech/correspondence helps prevent blowups. Unfortunately for people working under managers with bad people skills, this doesn’t actually make up for and mostly just highlights their managers’ deficits.

    Tl;dr: management speak is intentionally harmless in and of itself, but is an obvious symptom of bad management.



  • I’m an immigrant in Germany and began learning German at eighteen. I’m C2 and getting my masters in German language instruction, but I still feel so exhausted after interacting in German for long periods of time. I’m also generally an introvert, so it’s draining in multiple ways. I know it’s just that I need more experience and there’s no real helping it, but it really kills my mood sometimes. I work as a salesperson/barista at a bakery, teach classes, and interact with all my friends in German, but my husband speaks perfect English and it’s such a relief to be able to talk to him in English at home.
