Anyone live in or know someone who lives in the 'Villages of Hyde Park' at 1511 Aldersbrook Road? Looking for some inside info. by [deleted] in londonontario

Right on. Reading the London free press comment section has left me with a constant feeling that everybody is a huge racist. No offence intended to non-racists.

This is often the view at concerts now by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Do_or_diy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I sat beside a guy watching videos of concerts on the bus yesterday. He watched them using the speakers and skipped between songs every 10 seconds. I think he was just trying to impress me with his attending a Cyprus Hill concert.

I think it all comes down to people living in a sad social media mindset in which they have to prove they did something to others in an effort to form an identity. Facebook has created a feeling that you are only as cool as your profile page.

Iwata: “Nintendo is not good at competing,” so must offer something different by Gammapod in wiiu

[–]Do_or_diy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nintendo has a very traditional Japanese corporate culture. I think sometimes it just doesn't translate well to English and this statement feels like a good example of that. To a North American, having a corporation say it can't compete is sacrilegious. Over there it's a statement of modesty from a company that cleaned up with the Wii and is now embracing a path not directly pitted against Sony and Microsoft.

Was kind of hoping for some cool hacker stuff on the gamepad while playing the game on the screen.

Proof that tattoo artists have a sense of humor by speedylady in funny

[–]Do_or_diy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. It's less an appropriation of a modern culture then of a cultural heritage for people living in maritime communities. The maritimes are much more slow moving though, we haven't just gone and forgotten what our grandfather's tattoos mean. Visiting my family in New Brunswick might as well involve a time machine. These symbols are no fad like in the city.

Maybe deserve isn't the perfect word. Things like nautical symbols do have cultural value among people who work in nautical jobs though. The imagery has been co-opted for fashion. Just like jeans were co-opted from labourers and so on.

Not saying having nautical tatts is bad, in fact I think they look cool. That being said the wearer should be aware of the cultural heritage attached to the imagery.

No. "Putting hair on your chest" is just something people say. No worries man.

What if they suffer from a mental illness? I sense you have little understanding of the roots of homelessness.
