Wouldn’t you be installing a new set of elites with incredible power, though? After all, someone has to count and interpret the votes. Hopefully the minimum number of people required to check and to balance is not larger than the maximum number of people capable of fruitful collaboration.
This may have more to do with the instructor of your second language, because pronunciation is taught. If your German teacher is French (or French Canadian) or learned German from someone who otherwise accented it in such a way, then that’s how you’re most likely to accent it. Only about one in five Canadians learn French as their first language, so outside of Quebec, they’re really not secret French speakers masquerading as English speakers.
With French as Canada’s second official language, though, it would not be surprising if the majority of Canada’s foreign language teachers spoke French either first or second (but I say this without research or evidence, so it’s just an irresponsible hypothesis.)
And/or they will starve, even.
Don’t do it if you’re trying to date your sister.
It does, sure. It helps to understand that the debt is separate from the property, same as if you borrowed $20 for lunch—it feels a lot different from your friend buying you lunch, but it doesn’t feel like your friend owns your lunch until you repay them, either.
With real estate especially, once the property begins to require your attention and money, you begin to feel that ownership more acutely. The bank has no idea when the gutters need to be cleared or there’s a drainage issue. They’re concerned only with the loan.

When you take out a loan/mortgage, the bank does not own the property you purchase with those funds. You own the property, and you use it essentially as collateral to secure the loan. (It’s considered a lien.) The bank can take ownership of the property if you violate the terms of the agreement, typically by failing to pay what you owe, but the bank doesn’t own the property.
Huh! Weirdly, it was definitely pronounced ad-VER-tiz-mint on a lot of the '70s UK TV shows we imported to the US in the '80s. Britain is a big place, though, in terms of dialects, so you and your great granny don’t necessarily rule it out for everyone. Out of curiosity, do you then shorten it to ad or advert?
Not necessarily requirements, but sometimes government contracts favor contractors that employ veterans, so it’s more like the company is hoping to be able to use you on paper.
It may technically be legal to ask about postsecondary graduation, but asking for a high school graduation year is generally considered illegal, since that’ll pretty much get you within a few years of the applicant’s age. (I’m honestly unsure whether that’s relevant though, since the first comment said “degree,” which isn’t what we call a high school diploma where I’m from.)
It almost seems like it would be better to quote only the range at which they intend to actually hire, rather than dangling the best case maximum you could ever potentially earn at the absolute pinnacle of your tenure in the position. But maybe other smarter-than-me people expect the top number to mean that?
I wonder if a staffing agency might have spammed you with LLM generated CVs.
It sounds like you’re saying that when an entity pays the government what they now owe in tariffs, that money simply ceases to exist and is never counted or accounted for again.
It takes time for things to change.
Try to look at it from the perspective of the person you’re talking to. Nobody wants to make a fool of themselves, and assuming someone is interested (without evidence) is a great way for someone to become very embarrassed. Flirting is how you subtly let a person know it’s safe to suppose you might be into them and proceed accordingly. Conversations and invitations that are completely devoid of flirtation will instead tell them that you’re just being polite or friendly.
So it’s important!
It’s true that some Americans don’t have Social Security numbers, but those Americans can’t collect Social Security benefits unless/until they get one.
Yikes, which one?
You must not have the soft close feature. I hate standing around for 20 seconds waiting for the soft close seat to drop so I can pee (learned the hard way that if you force it, it wears out in a couple years). So that would probably have killed this little ritual as soon as she had to go twice before you came along to put the seat down for her. It would annoy you sometimes too I bet, unless you stand up to shit.
Still, even though you don’t want to spoil the magic, maybe there are other ways to show affection, because (in order of importance):
Admittedly, none of this is what you asked. But it’s weird how many people try to make toilet seats a fairness thing. If the lid is kept down, everyone has to take it from closed to open and back to closed again. Isn’t that fair?
Scratch is a simple drag and drop app kids use to learn to code. I’ve seen kids create pretty elaborate games with it. Maybe you could play with that and figure out if your concept is in fact simple enough to create on your own.
