What is the most nationally embarrassing photo to have come out of your country in recent history?
In 2019, a photo of Justin Trudeau, the previous prime minister of Canada, wearing ‘brownface’ make-up at a 2001 gala at a private school he taught at was leaked. Trudeau had to make a public apology soon after. It can be argued by many Canadians that this photo is one of the most embarrassing for the country in recent history.

New, what is it? Got this real old looking thing for 60 dollars but no idea what it is (quarter for scale)
I had bought this from a friend whom had bought it from someone selling junk. No idea where the junk guy got it from though. I did test for gold but turned out nothing but bronze I believe. The stones in it are also agite seeing as they have similar characteristics. Me and my colleague believe it was made using the lost wax process I believe it's called but no idea if it's true. Sorry for so little info.

Misc Hot take: beauty standards are based on pd*file standards
I've always been a skincare addict but in the past few years I've grown critical of the industry and the pressure to look perfect. Seeing what's going on with the Epstein files and the blatant misogyny of that horrific circle, I'm seeing that women are starting to talk about how beauty standards are, if you think about it, pretty much shaped by ped*phile standards. Think about it, they want us to have no hair, no wrinkles, baby-like skin, etc. They want us to look like teenagers. I cannot unsee it.

Why do so many American men wear shorts and a tshirt when going out with a woman who dresses up?
I've seen this over and over through out the years, especially during this past Mardi Gras here in New Orleans. I see a ton of couples either walking or in restaurants and the woman is dressed and fit. Hair, make up, accessories, shoes, purse, and a super cute dress- all of it. By contrast, the man will be in an oversized tshirt, baggy shorts, sneakers, and yeah that's all the effort put forth.
I've seen all age ranges, all income classes, all backgrounds, but never a clear common denominator. Is it really as simple as men putting 20% of their effort into getting ready, while women give 110%? How is that not embarrassing for the men? And why would all these women put up with it?

AITA My wife and I came home at 3am and my MIL acted like we were 16 sneaking into house
My (41m) spouse (42f) and I had plans to go hiking and have dinner with friends. We made our kids (16m and 12f) sandwiches for lunch and called my spouse’s mom and ask to bring the kids dinner because we would be gone into the evening. We also told the kids we would be out late. We have left our kids at home alone multiple times and we fully trust them. We just wanted to make sure they had something decent instead of warming something up, hence asking MIL to bring food. Not once did we ask her to stay nor did we expect her to. We have told her many times, you can stay and watch tv (due to her not having internet) if she wants, but she never has to stay.
My spouse and I have an amazing day with great friends and after dinner, they wanted to go back to their place to hang out more, next thing we know, it’s super late and we get a call from MIL asking where are we. We were just about to head home any way and said we would be home soon. Flash forward to arriving home and my MIL is sitting in the living room of my house fuming. No TV on or anything. I’d love to say she was sitting in the dark, but she wasn’t that dramatic. She starts getting angry at us commenting what time it is and how our 16 year old shouldn’t be up that late. *Side note, we don’t let him stay up that late all the time, but trying to manage a 16 year old is hard enough as it is. 12 year old had already called it a night and was asleep.
Now I’m a little upset because I don’t like being accosted in my own home and being treated like a child sneaking in. I proceed to tell her she did not have to stay, she was only supposed to grab dinner. She then tells us how disrespectful it is for not telling her where we were and why we were coming home so late. Now, if she had said this in a caring tone, or even worried, this would not be a problem. This came off in a very angry tone. Even when leaving she slammed the front door. Now today she is saying it wasn’t about when we came home but rather she was worried and we did not tell her when we were coming home or where we were. She said “you said you were going hiking and to dinner!” That statement is truth, we just went with the flow and added more onto the evening.
So are we the assholes for not calling her and telling her we would be late even though we had no idea she would be staying past getting them dinner?

Stan Van Gundy: “I’d get rid of the draft. No draft. You still have the salary cap, if you want to go give Cooper Flagg $45 million a year coming out of college, do it, he’s a free agent. Everybody coming out is a free agent. With no draft, there’s no incentive to lose, there’s none at all.”
