This is a drop for me, I like my romance to be assault free.

Ok thanks! I checked out the desktop app and it's pretty awesome. I may just get the android app. One more question and then I'll leave you alone, do you know if the android app can chrome cast?

Am I missing something or is Miru $13.99 for the Android app? Just want to make sure I'm looking at the right thing before I buy it. Also really surprised something like this is on Google Play.

I was using Aniyomi but I think ot's almpst at the end without extension updates...

Lol literally one character that isn't a cop or doctor is introduced, I was shocked it turned out to be him 🙄. I'll give it another couple episodes but if they're all like this then I'm out.

I hate what Canadian airlines are getting away with, it's such bullshit. I was traveling with my family over the summer and because of events out of our control, we weren't able to check in for our return flight early and had to do it when we got to the airport. Air Canada turns around and says my parents don't have a assigned seats and are on the standby list for if one becomes available. How the fuck are they allowed to over-sell a flight? We paid for our seats the same as anyone else but here they are saying that there was no seat available. It was fucked up and they shouldn't be allowed to charge hundreds for just the possibility of flying home.

Luckily it worked out and we were all able to get seats, but the stress this caused and the fact that this is perfectly legal is completely unacceptable.

A lot of people don't get enough paid sick leave to cover 1-2 days off a month (maybe more depending on medical conditions like endometriosis). I know people that have to take unpaid sick days because of this, and others that take a lot of pain meds to be able to get through the work day. I'm fortunate that I do get more sick days than a lot of people in Canada but I still don't get enough to cover a day every month plus any additional I need to take for appointments, migraines, illness, etc.

I also can see the stigma these workers receive when they're so frequently absent from work, and a flexible work arrangement could help reduce that.

People can't afford to just take unpaid sick leave all the time, and when they're passed up for job opportunities because they're "unreliable" then that also doesn't improve their financial situations.

Not to mention they take so long to actually open up so you could chop off the peduncle before it blooms. It's weeks between peduncle formation and blooming :P
