@trademarkedash Oh, do they still do this in the ROC? My kids go to school in QC and don't but I did back in the day in ON and AB, but I just kind of figured they didn't anymore.

the day i found out the ROC learn and sing this shit every day at school was truly awakening cause the quebecers that even know the national anthem lyrics past Ô Canada usually only know the bilingual french version from hockey games
x - 😛@concretehaiis
i am curious, do all canadians (regardless if youre bilingual) know how to sing O Canada in both languages?

What is your favourite building in Montréal? 🤔

@WhiteRosePapist @Yale_Lad @TaglesTopGuy Scapulars are usually blessed. Miraculous medals, Saint medals, crucifixion, crosses, etc. Also commonly blessed. Do you think people need to remove those when having fun or exercising too? Because that's just not how Catholics live their lives. Because it's not a thing.

@Yale_Lad @TaglesTopGuy Because vestments are blessed and set aside for the sacred, not for playing football

@Marsilmad @BIMBOSATTVA_ It has unironically been getting pushed for more formal acceptance by academics in recent years because its gender neutral unlike the phrase “you guys”
English
English as a Second Language people are so funny because they're like "Thank god you guys have a plural form of 'you' because you guys don't have a plural form of 'you'" like alright I guess

"y'all" is the best thing ever invented cuz why on earth does english lack a plural form of "you"

@Utterly_Jean If they refuse the food, I just tell them to put their serving in the fridge. If they are hungry later, they can eat it.

The delivery is a little harsh, but I actually think it's reasonable. You can't force a kid to eat, but if you get into the habit of bedtime snacks the whole evening is derailed. Not to mention the food waste and increased pickiniess

My stepmom doesn't tell my nieces to eat she just tells them "ok then you're not gonna eat the rest of the night" which I don't think is something u should tell children because children need food

@lydiakauppi @KareBearScare I mean there is a process to officially leave, but I never bothered. I'm not Catholic and whether the church thinks I am or not is inconsequential at the end of the day.
English
This is why I argue Catholicism is an ethnoreligion like Judaism and Islam. If you were born Catholic, you’re never not Catholic even if you’re not Catholic

i’m crying EVERYONE who inherited this religion does NOT fw it 😭😭😭

@lamiche_depain I live in Quebec too, and am from an Irish and Italian Catholic background. Personally I left the church and didn't look back, but I feel like many if not most Catholics in Canada are culturally Catholic with varying beliefs. Dogmatic Catholics are more rare.

as a muslim in qc, i find it so fascinating. like I have more than one friend who has baptized their children they got out of wedlock, or did their sacraments even though they don't believe in god at all😭 and it's not family pressure cause no one in their family believes either

@MikeyNohMore Maybe not, but on average lots of their children died, and that was probably more devastating.

Wonder what long-term effect going through multiple of these throughout your teens, 20s, and early 30s has on the psychology of modern adults. Up until the past century outside of teen romances people almost never experienced tragic breakups unless their partners literally died.

@AliceBunnyland2 @LowryLetter I kind of took it to mean 2008, but right before the crash. I thought they were referencing the crash when they said 2008 (with the assumption they meant before the crash).
English
@LowryLetter What’s fucking bonkers to me is that a lot of people who were replying weren’t kids. The OP probably was, and that’s fine. Really I’m just frustrated with other millennials.

Does everyone have amnesia? 2008 was the housing crisis/economic crash. It was called the Great Recession and people were literally killing themselves. Everyone on my street (including my family) had to move suddenly because we couldn’t afford our homes. My dad owns a small

It probably felt awesome to be a millennial who believed things were going to get better in 2008

@missus_wormy Yes. But then to live out my whole youth and now into middle age having that hopeful expectation smashed continuously has been less of a treat.

@JungCreamed @HrothgalSai @RiverGipson @_CM_67_ No, but Montreal is. Both our NHL and CFL team play downtown and are metro accessible. I think it's more an American tailgating cultural thing than a being on an island thing. Which is fine, but also not going to make sense for most fans coming in for the world cup.

@HrothgalSai @RiverGipson @_CM_67_ that's cool man, have you considered the fact that Toronto isn't in a FUCKING ISLAND

Part of why I am so torn between the Northeast and the Southwest is that they are total antipodes.
One is wet, geriatric, overtaxed, 'heavy', dark -- the other is dry, young, low-tax, 'light', sunny.
And frankly, I've got a massive pile of savings. A once-in-a-lifetime pile of cash I've worked years to build. We're on our first baby, and I know that if and when the second baby comes, we'll really be in for it. I know that inflation is gonna eat at this pile of cash.
I've got the freedom to choose here. Stay in the Adirondacks, move down to the Mohawk Valley of NY, or pull up the stakes completely and go to West TX / NM / AZ (where America's future really lives).
But I've got one shot. One choice. Once I make the choice, it's over, I've gone and done it. The future of my family hinges on the choice I make. There are no take-backs. I know that once baby #2 comes, we're likely to stay wherever we're at.
So it's a "hot" moment in my life. Gotta make a choice. Gotta pray about it. Heart says go Southwest, to the future, to youth, to warmth -- brain says stay here, with the past, with the elderly, in freezing temps.
Lord help me.
