So not to nitpick here, but Juneteenth isn't intended to remember the destruction of any neighborhood. Black Wall Steet, Central Park, etc. were all significant things that happened, but not related to Juneteenth. It's the day that the last slaves in Texas were actually declared free by the Union army on June 19th in Galveston.
I was/am a compositor/vfx artist for film and tv, but the industry has imploded over the last year so it's been a few months.
Yeah I dunno man. Ever since I made my account, half the posts I've seen have been complaining about whatever the hell tankies are, and almost all the rest are jokes about arch linux. The politics stuff seems more niche than just "left", but I haven't dug too deeply into it. There are other active communities if you dig around. Mostly I dig on star trek memes and programmer humor and it's a good time.
Fully agree with this, homie. Wife and I lived in Montreal area as temporary foreign workers for like 4 years. Tried so hard to fit in and be polite, but would essentially get spit at or ignored everytime my accent was a tiny bit off. Didn't say it perfectly the Quebecois way? Fuck you. Ask something in English? Hope you're in a tourist area, otherwise fuck you. Want your medical records/labs in a different language? Fuck you. Ask for English menus? Fuck you and now your waitress hates you.
Also watched a friend from France repeatedly get told he's speaking French wrong. Also they have like an actual department of language policing.
Quebec is poopy buttsauce. 0/10. Happy to be gone. Celine Dion is overrated. Sorry not sorry.
I've used so many other FOSS solutions to replace winamp at this point, and they're all functionally the same. I remember liking the interface of Clementine at some point, but honestly I don't think I have any loyalty to any specific music software anymore.
TIL some people have an inner voice. What is for you folks, like imaginary sounds?
I was always under the impression that the militia bit was because they didn't want the USA to form a government army. The army instead would be all citizens, armed, that would act in case of a national threat, then like... go back to farming or whatever.
I put ketchup on fish n chips because malt vinegar is disgusting foot water and my mind can not be changed.
tbf the maple syrup IS watered down, but it's super weird because it's literally the Mafia doing it.
I mean unless you have a million dollars or something.
Also most of Quebec doesn't give a shit about drinking in public places, as long as you don't do it on the train or the bus.
It's not the meaning of life. It's the Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. Nobody knows what the Question is.
Cue all the Canadians pretending anyone gives a shit about their goofy chamfered square deck screws.
Went there several times when I worked downtown Toronto. Middlingly good bar. Basic drink selection. Like an Applebee's in bar form. Weird to see it close though. It was such a fixture.
I'm an American anglophone that lives in Quebec for work and uh, yeah. These people are constantly fighting a culture war that nobody else gives a shit about or signed up for. There should never be language police.
At least ten of them aren't even Unity Store asset flips! We promise!
But... R.O.B. wasn't an add-on. It was a way to market the NES as a toy rather than a console, in the wake of the video games crash of 1983-85. Was just a way to sideload NES systems into the houses of wary consumers.
I mean yeah it's mostly used by meatheads who get excited that somebody got punched, regardless of context...but I'm not exactly clutching my pearls at the use of a gasp bad word.
