The Chinese Room by Searle

I mean, you didn’t read the post did you?

Lac Brome? More like Lac Bombe.

Your moms room

That’s a lot of insult and aggression. Why can’t you just let people have opinions?

let people dislike things. you don’t have to engage with them if you don’t want to

Honestly, I completely agree with your assesment of the hypocrisy involved. As a second generation British imigrant to Quebec I have never felt like I had any nation of my own at all, and so learning French and adapting to the majority culture seemed obvious. I find the “anglo” identity here of stubborn resistance to all homogenization to be as silly and self defeating as any other nationalistically motivated politics. We are aboard the Titanic, the iceberg is dead ahead, and we are arguing about the arangement of the deck chairs.

I feel like the the great zeitgeist is going to shift towards vindicating the Qubecois and their bloody minded nationalism pretty soon. You can feel the rest of the western world starting to think and act just like the nationalists here.

Which people do you think are demanding changes to the language law?

It doesn’t sound like you need any help getting people to not talk to you, but I think making you not appear to be an asshole might be beyond the scope of a lemmy post.

The idea that an average person in the US is anywhere near starving is ridiculous. Except a tiny, almost vanishingly small minority, americans would be healtier consuming significantly less.

Star trek is a big plate of mashed potatoes. People eat because it isn’t exciting.

This is a well known thing in Montreal. Public knowledge and not classified in the least.

So this is a local thing to me and I must say that McGill University was 100% complicit in this and was no victim of the US.

Another fun fact is the Leonard Cohen went through the program. One of the programs tests was to try to make atheists believe in God. Cohen was a very secular Jewish boy at the time of writing “the favorite game”, but as time went on Jesus started cropping up more and more often in his work.

I’m not saying they succeeded in making him a Christian, but attempts to subliminally I plant Jesus into his psyche might have had some success.

Just the fuckin way she goes boys

They are animals so no

Yes

Awesome, anything to help me not poop at all for 3 days?
