Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh, I found it under Imposter Syndrome. I love how many complexes and syndromes are all made up to describe "neurotic."

But hey! It looks like according to Caltech, extraodinarily gifted people tend to suffer from "imposter syndrome."

WhatEV.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Is this real? A reality series about women in a bookclub?

I get the sense it's like that OC Housewives show, but these women have the bookclub in common. And in Scottsdale.

Oh, this isn't a case of needing advice or pushing. I'm whining here because as with everything here, it's going to take for-fucking-ever. And that's with one of the staff sharing my office (he's been out all week, or I'd be wheedling favors.) I've had a computer up and die in the middle of critical tasks and had my division director yelling at people and it still took forever.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

So what does one call them here, where First Peoples just creates confusion?

There are some tribes in MN that are starting to call themselves First Nation/First Peoples.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Oh. I didn't realize you were looking for a Canadian term. I'm kinda flighty today. Do you know what the term in Canadian/British documentation was? Not that that would be the way to go, but it would be an option, at least.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, in Canada "First Peoples" gets the message across just fine. But when you're in the US, talking about a Cree from Montreal, what are you gonna say to the many people who've never used "First Nation/Peoples"?

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'd be tempted to say "First Peoples" just to try to get the term established.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'd get "First Peoples," and I haven't been to Canada since I was 14.

Canadian Indian and/or Cree from Montreal.

Depends on what you're saying, though. I used Cree as a specific example so I could avoid using the more general term for which I'm searching.

I'd get "First Peoples," and I haven't been to Canada since I was 14.

That's cool. I've been greeted with blankness both here and in Michigan. Enough that I ended up using "Canadian Native American" quite like an idiot.
