I work at a factory in Canada. We just got a huge contract from European customers and we've been told we're running more machines on 24/7 shifts to meet demand and hiring 50 new staff to do it. The clients switched from producing in the US to avoid costs associated with the trade war.

In computer class I searched "gay porn" on my friends computer when while he was gone. The teacher saw me do it and sent me to the principal's office where I got in trouble for being gay. When I got home my parents were also upset. Apparently the principal called them to tell them I was gay! I was really confused as to why being gay seemed to be the issue and not searching for porn on a school computer and that's how I learned about homophobia!

It's also incorrect! The dish is omelette au fromage. That's because it's an omelette with cheese and not of cheese.

They're owned by private equity firm CVC Capital Partners. It's just their way of saying they're gutting the staff to increase profits for shareholders.

In 2006, CVC and Permira were accused by Labour MP Gwyn Prosser in the House of Commons of "greed" and "blatant asset stripping" of The AA "to borrow £500m on the basis of The AA's assets in order to pay themselves a dividend."

What's stopping pornhub from having a similar strategy in France? Continue to accept French IPs for the international version, paywall the French version.

Pornhub is ideologically against having to collect and verify data on their users for the government. They block traffic in all areas that pass these kinds of laws as a protest.

How could they not have English food like pizza, curry, or kebabs??

You know it's bad when even the French think you've crossed the line.
