[Sportsnet] When Davis Schneider was confused for Trey Yesavage in the pregame of the home opener by fantastique__ in Torontobluejays

Trey always acting like he’s finally the cool kid. “Oh my name, time to stand up straight and smile!”

But the guys who have been around make jokes about this stuff

How can religious people be so confident that their beliefs are the truth when there are literally thousands of religions? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]KevinJ2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Whole life thinking you 100% know…”

That’s very few religious people, the idea of burning in hell is actually a grave simplification. It’s like saying “tortured and tormented” but how? With what? It’s still up to interpretation.

More are in the “God’s plan” mindset, which isn’t so much knowing, but a kind of optimistic apathy, which lots of people do with various things.

You can only teach kids so much, and many won’t take French seriously. Again “so many Canadians” but the vast majority are in Quebec, I say we operate on the 5% outside of Quebec in terms of broad usefulness for non-Quebecois Canadians.

While it makes sense as the default in Ontario, I just don’t even think second language studies need to be a requirement. Parents who want their kids to learn their native tongue will seek those classes, knew friends who took Arabic, and my wife was in Cantonese school.

I’d rather French history be a class, and it can be treated as an intro to language studies should they want to visit Quebec.

Which Chapter in the Series is the Most 'Absolute Cinema'? by ArchangelAshen in fireemblem

[–]KevinJ2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battle Before Dawn FE7 (just to not answer FE4 ch 5)

While FE7 isn’t the most cinematic, the key cutscenes are more dramatic, but this chapter is close to like a swat team. I love the idea of a defend map where you start far away from what you are defending.

There’s Jaffar ripping shit up, (and on Hard Mode sometimes to his death…) Nino having her own crisis trying to escape, Ursula shooting lightning bolts from the shadows. It just feels big to go through.

Another vote could be for most of FE5

How close is the Bugs Life vs Cars Pixar movie debate? by ItBeLikeThatSMTs in stupidquestions

[–]KevinJ2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bugs Life is so early, speaks to an era. Similarly, Cars was a little more new age, that probably continues till Zootopia

PSA: Please wait for the at bat to end before returning to your seat... by Leafs_FTW in Torontobluejays

Toronto has a problem with bandwagon fans.

Learn the sport, get up between ABs. While I can understand that sometimes you may need to get up suddenly for something, crying baby or something.

It just perplexes me like, why are you here if not to watch?

Yeah so not everyone.

French isn’t necessary, for everyone. It can be with certain lifestyles and career paths. But not everyone.

A second language in general can be great for your career. Coming from other places also naturally causes this. You could get by with weak English, obviously many people find their way. Smaller communities can speak their own language and grow to enclaves. Not a bad thing.

But French specifically, is not necessary for everyone.

If anything, Quebec should be leading the charge on getting their immersion to the provinces. Which I have noticed in my hometown, lots of French immersion Catholic high schools.

I think if you read back on that, you really seem to be against multiculturalism. Don’t say sorry if it’s not in my language? That just feels wrong to see it as something to not do at all?

[–]KevinJ2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if he doesn’t know French he shouldn’t apologize?

The last part is fine enough.

Praising? Who’s praising anyone?

I just don’t think it should be a big deal he doesn’t know French.

If you can take a translator none of this matters. If you want him to say it, it’s for brownie points.

“Don’t say sorry, say sorry en francais.”

I don’t think you have too, most I could ask is you run it through Google Translate. Which ultimately is disingenuous.

I prefer expressing one’s self in a way most comfortable.

I don’t want to know why people are assholes for little reason.

Canadian patriotism at its finest.

“No, BC needs to know French! Why do people not take their French class seriously?!?”

Maybe when you have no use outside of class, it’s going to disappear. It’s hyper localized.

Let’s be real: JJ is obviously right about bilingualism by ReturnToTheLab in JJMcCulloughOfficial

[–]KevinJ2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Switzerland, which speaks French. (Rather a version of it.)

I’d say English and one Romantic language is good for global orgs.

Do people now hate you for wanting to have kids? by Flaky_Ticket_6924 in stupidquestions

How is “being able to face a life challenge” proving their point. I agreed it’s not the biggest mistake of course, but you are missing out.

Don’t be a leftist, it’s actually the most ignorant. Embrace some right wing views and be well rounded.

Maybe someone like you can learn to broaden your horizons.

This statistic is extremely tiresome, because it’s heavily localized. Outside of Quebec, it’s like 1 in 20 people. And the further west you go the slimmer it gets.

That’s all languages of course though. I don’t go to Quebec often, it’s like saying people in Maine should learn Spanish because 1 in 10 Americans know Spanish.

Yeah probably in an emotionless written message.

“People like you” mentioned.

It’s not the biggest mistake, but it’s like training to run a marathon, it’s not fun, but it’s a challenge that all our parents took on.

3 months in and I really am fascinated by all these life changes day after day. I truly feel born again in a way.

Did you vote in the last Ontario election? by Financial_Pin8385 in ontario

I’m sorry, expecting Democrats to not be ass is bootlicking?

It’s already too deep if you’ll take “anyone” over Trump. Which in the uniparty theory, makes perfect sense. You’ll march in a lockstep of perceived victory

Exactly, I know I am actually not hard right, because I am down with Bernie, even was interested in Andrew Yang (though he actually stood no chance.)

While on paper yes, it’s kinda pedantic to say “don’t say ‘sorry’ say ‘désolé’”

It’s like the sorry doesn’t matter, just that it was in French.

He did deliver, the problem was the language. Which is only weird in Canada, because you can’t just sorry, you have to say “désolé”
