  • It’s not so much that it’s hillbilly French, it is just based on French from hundreds of years ago that then evolved separetly from France. So most people learn France French, which Quebecois people understand but doesn’t go the other way as smoothly.

    If you aren’t going to be speaking to France French people then learning Quebecois French would be fine.



  • My parents raised me on an acre in a house that my parents built with them both having reasonable salaries. My partner and I make more combined than they ever did we would never be able to give kids a life even close to as good as we had growing up.

    So we aren’t having kids, we will just live as good a life as we can and her nieces will inherit what we have when we die.



  • Is there a choice to live in a concentration camp?

    If they leave their homeland, they can never return while Israel keeps them from returning. So they try to have families because they won’t be driven from their land.

    You are asking the wrong question though.

    Why is Israel trying to bring about the destruction of an entire people?

    In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

    1. Killing members of the group;
    2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
    
    1. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
    4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
    
    1. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

    The only one Israel isn’t trying to do is number 5 and that is probably be because they don’t want any Arabs of any sort alive.

    Just in case it isn’t obvious, this has nothing to do with Judaism as a whole, it is the Israeli govt that is to blame not the religion itself.













  • That is what led me to about a year of Soylent and pho. I couldn’t be bothered to cook for myself often, I was single, had a long commute, worked near a pho restaurant. So I drank a Soylent for breakfast and lunch then had a large beef and brisket pho every day.


  • Gord Downey of the Tragically Hip.

    His music was songs of more than one generation of Canadians. I caught the last few songs of the live streamed final concert. I almost missed it because I was on graveyard shift and slept through an alarm.

    I caught my favorite song “Ahead by a Century” and since he passed, I haven’t been able to listen to that song again. When it comes on the radio I either turn it off or leave the room. It is too sad to hear. It has been harder in the last two years because my sister died of the same brain cancer as him. She played music with a few Canadian bands but never met them.
