@FNoMTL @nick_____t @cultmtl French tacos are the product of north African immigrants living in France.

montreal needs 1 (one) good breakfast burrito i stg

@EvanMyersHQ @martianwyrdlord Strangers can call each other whatever they want. The closer you are to a person, the more important addressing them correctly becomes.

@Urizen_ @martianwyrdlord I live in Texas and most native Spanish speakers cannot pronounce my name. I’ve accepted their pronunciation rather than correct every single Taco Bell drive thru worker

If your name includes a dental fricative - e.g. Anthony, Theodore, Nathaniel, Samantha, Elizabeth, Catherine, etc. - native speakers of the overwhelming majority of the world's languages cannot pronounce your name properly. If you're living or traveling outside of the Anglosphere you learn to adapt to this, accepting whatever the most common local mispronunciation happens to be, because the alternative of lecturing every single person you encounter on the finer points of English phonetics is actually insane.

@martianwyrdlord If you live in a foreign country, you're still a traveler of sorts. Im talking from the perspective of a linguistics minority in the place of their birth.

@Urizen_ If you reside in a foreign country, which I have done many times, it is actually more important to accustom yourself to the local pronunciation of your name.

@talzyn7 @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy Despite the rough start, I've enjoyed talking to you. Have a good day.

@Urizen_ @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy Anyways we are getting away You agree that rights can be suspended if there are good reasons You simply dont agree with our reasons.

Lots of Montréalers grew up in tiny, wealthy, insular Anglophone bubbles and turned tail the moment it became slightly difficult to exist with their neighbors in the rest of their society. That does not mean they were oppressed or forced to leave the city they pretended to love

@talzyn7 @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy If we're going to treat teachers like judges, we should give them a salary and social status that reflects that. Until then, students should just learn that their teachers are fallible. I dont think teachers should get to be openly homophobic, even if they're Muslim.

@Urizen_ @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy How would a gay student open up to a veiled teacher knowing her religion condemns homosexuality ? What greater ideal are you talking about and why isnt education included?

@EiratheIntern It worth noting every time this topic come up, that Aang wasn't raised by his parents, and he's never shown to resent that fact. It wasn't part of his culture. The fact that he was present at all despite being the most important person in the world is a major indulgence for him.

It is truly a measure of the puritanical culture of the modern day that we treat, "this character made mistakes as a parent" as the same thing as "this character is being trashed"

@talzyn7 @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy Courts have to follow very strict rules because they represent the authority of the law/state itself. I dont think jobs like teachers and bus drivers represent any greater ideal, they are better off being treated as normal people with jobs.

@Urizen_ @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy So you are fine denying some peoples rights Why is that?

@talzyn7 @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy Depends on the type of state employees. Judges shouldn't bear religious symbols, but i don't care if a high school teacher wears a hijab.

@Urizen_ @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy Je suis aussi contre l'interdiction de signes religieux en public Sauf pour les personnes travaillant à représenter l'état, la collectivité : ils ont un devoir de neutralité.

@talzyn7 @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy Just a typo, I meant 'I am an atheist '

@Urizen_ @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy "I am atheist" Why that name?

@talzyn7 @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy The problem here is you assume all rights are zero sum. I think french ontarians deserve access to education in their own language. Their circumstances aren't entirely dissimilar to that of anglophones in Quebec.

@Urizen_ @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy But more importantly, be aware that your "consitutional rights" were imposed onto us We do not recognise them and will use every tool in it to protect our culture and society.

@talzyn7 @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy I'm an atheist, I dont see how the charter restricts my right to be so. It restricts the ability ban religious symbols. Im against banning religious symbols because I dont want them to become symbols of resistance. People lose their religion easy enough in a free society.

@Urizen_ @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy In theory What about practice? Same with religious rights btw. The charter puts religious beliefs above all atheist beliefs. Your charters are a farce.

@talzyn7 @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy What rights of yours have I denied? The charter is bilingual. French and English get the same language rights under the charter. Im not advocating for the taking of anything, you are.

@Urizen_ @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy You dont respect me You think it is normal for us to have a constitution imposed onto us You're an hypocrite fighting for your rights and denying others of theirs. I dont respect you because you dont respect me. You simply hide this disrespect behind a thin veil.

@talzyn7 @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy Repeatedly telling me to get fucked makes you look bad. I haven't said anything disrespectful, I want to have a respectful conversation. Respect is very important if we're to live together. Why can't you respect me as much as I respect you?

@Urizen_ @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy Right, and Quebec isnt a minority "We should force them to adopt our constitution to protect their minorities" I repeat, get fucked.

@talzyn7 @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy Minority rights need special protections in a democracy.

@Urizen_ @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy Your rights arent any more important than ours. If thats mean to you, get fucked.

@talzyn7 @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy This is you admitting that my constitutional rights exist against your will. You sound like a bad guy just saying it.

@Urizen_ @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy Was adopting the constitution against our will to appease us, too? This is a retarded argument.

@JayExci Neither blue nor red is at fault for creating the button.

This representation is so dumb. It completely ignores the objective fact that the trolley doesn't even start moving without the reds collectively starting it.

@talzyn7 @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy The notwithstanding clause was a way for the federal government to appease french Canadians by throwing QC anglos under the bus.

@Urizen_ @acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy If that was the case, why include it in our constitution? Also, why adopt a constitution we do not agree with? Isnt that also a violation of rights or is it fine ?

@acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy Sorry, im thinking of bill 178, which was an amendment to 101.

@Urizen_ @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy The notwithstanding clause didn’t even exist in 1977 when Bill 101 was passed.

@acajacques @krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy Any invocation of the notwithstanding clause implies a violation of rights. It wasn't just asking.

@krriiiiiiish @baranskocracy To sum it up, what was asked of them was basically to speak more French in societal interactions with francophones. It was still too much for them.
