Oops, autocorrect entered “trying” when I meant “going” 😂

So yeah, we’re going for sure but I would also have enjoyed just doing nothing for a week 🤪

We moved 4h away from most of our families and we’re going back for a week but traveling feels like a chore but at the same time I’ll get to see some friends I haven’t seen in months so… Eh, it is what it is 🤷

Same for Canada…

Infinite scrolling seems broken on Jerboa, when I go directly in a community and sort by new I get the same content as when I sort by top 6h 🤷

And it’s still getting updates until 2025 (more if you want to pay) and Windows 11 can be installed on hardware without TPM 2.0 (witch will be more than 10 years old when Windows 10 stops getting updates)…

At some point people have to accept that the world is moving forward and technology is continuously improving… At what point do you consider that your machine is old enough that it’s acceptable to retire it? Should I be able to install Windows 11 on my Pentium 150mhz?

More and more people speak it on a global scale, you shouldn’t celebrate the disappearance of non English cultures.

“Oh no, French Canadians use words in their second language based on their definition, what a bunch of exclusionary shit cunts!”

You should really go sit down and reflect on the way you just acted.

Just pointing out the ridiculousness of the “it’s a foreign language” argument.

There’s no universities in a first Nation language and the official language in Quebec is French. I would be the first one to vote in favor of teaching kids a first Nation language, there’s 11 families of them in Quebec alone so a common language is necessary and in Quebec that’s French.

Members of first Nations are still free to go to school in whatever language they choose and the headline is just bad, at university level everyone can go wherever they want, it’s the English universities that will lose financing if they don’t get 80% of students from other provinces and out of country to reach level 5 French (out of 12 levels to be considered perfectly bilingual), that’s just enough French to be able to understand an everyday conversation.

Do you consider that all other provinces do language discrimination because people can’t go to university there without knowing English?

Really? Crap,I guess they would need to add a separate option to choose if you want to ban just the communities or the users too…

The Pope has been denouncing the conflict and asking for the killing to end from the beginning.

See there’s this thing we call “a definition” and that word is appropriate to the situation and if you think “foreigner” is pejorative then you’re the one who’s got an issue…

The law states that English universities can take in whoever they want, 80% must finish their degree having reached conversational level in French otherwise English universities will lose part of their funding (when they’re the universities that are the richest in the province).

That’s not language discrimination, that’s just bad journalism.

Then so are first Nation languages since we all come from Africa.

When all the online interactions you see concerning your culture are people who barely have any knowledge of it taking a shit on it, you tend to not have the patience to be the bigger person.

Heck, 100 years ago someone from four villages over was considered a foreigner…

Then lead by example.

See, a judge and a teacher wouldn’t be allowed to wear a pin that says “white pride” because in their professional life they represent a State that has specific values and their image must reflect that. One such value of that State is the separation of religion and State.

Is the right to force a person to wear specific clothing in there too or is it just ok if it’s a religious group or a person’s family that choose their clothings?

Again, what about political signs? No one complains about that… Weird right?

Quebec made the decision 60 years ago to get religion out of its institutions, only the Catholic Church was concerned at the time but today is a different reality and the Révolution Tranquille is a big part of what makes Quebec what it is today. I don’t know why someone that’s religious to the point that they wouldn’t accept to separate their private religious life from their job would want to represent a laïc government just like I don’t understand why an atheist would want to go work for the government in a theocracy.

Who’s concerned then? A minority of government jobs, plenty of opportunities for people who want to display a religious sign and worst case there’s the private sector if they truly don’t agree.

Is it any different from asking the people who have the exact same jobs from not displaying their political allegiance? Both religion and freedom of expression are protected by the Canadian Charter, don’t forget that.
