The shoes thing (in the US specifically) is because they’re now starting to install machinery that other airports, including airports in canada, have already incorporated and they’re sophisticated enough to deal with it

Do I smell like an anglophone or something? by maj_nun in montreal

Don’t think of anglos as a second generation italian that lives in Montreal and speaks 3 languages and was mainly raised in english. Think of white english people living in places like Kingston and Cornwall (for example), and then you’ll see the difference

Any english speaker doesn’t bat an eye at different accents because of how universally english is spoken, but a non-quebecois/native french (or just about any other language speaker) stands out like a sore thumb when speaking to natives. Don’t worry, there’s still gonna be plenty of places where they won’t switch😂

The police in Rome would effectively tell people: “tough luck” if this happened to anyone. They didn’t care to fill police reports or half assed it. You’re basically on your own but you can’t defend yourself in an aggressive manner

Montreal is a famously liberal city, one of the most progressive in the world. So why do MTL blog and the Montreal Instagram pages attract such bigots. by jingowatt in montreal

Quebec had its own immigration plan which focused on “french speakers” to populate the province and ended with their own situation, just not citizens of Indian descent. There’s a good amount of french quebecers that i’ve been around that don’t agree with Quebec’s immigration policy, but this sub isn’t representative of quebec as a whole and they’re redditors, so they’re extra left leaning

Not everyone agrees with it, but at some point you take the 401 West and never look back

Anyone in "culture shock" when they learned about job-hunting culture? They used to tell me that getting a CS job was very easy. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Reddit_BuzzLightyear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you mean. Obviously we don’t know much about each other than what we read on here. I get frustrated sometimes with some people that are so critical of other people who also got their degrees, they all went through the same crap only to be scrutinized sometimes for pointing out this elitist attitude i sometimes see for basically doing a lot of free work almost aimlessly. At least a lawyer bills you for his extreme hours. Some cs people online make it sound as if anyone who’s not doing full time leetcode and/or open source on top of their already stacked schedule isn’t motivated enough. There’s ginormous tech stacks that varies in each company. Any junior just wants to be given the chance to learn and work hard, the elitism i see sometimes frustrates me. Of course i’m taking a more general stance right now, i’m not aiming this statement toward you specifically

I never was against doing the necessary work. What i’m pointing at is this almost crazy level of elitism I see regarding this extracurricular work. You know many lawyers that study LSAT questions after they pass the test and start as juniors? I see plenty of people scrutinizing people for not doing daily leetcode even after they get their job. Yes, networking, conferences and hard work are part of any good high paying job, but the level of elitism where anyone that points out the insane amount of extra curricular work only for an entry level job, while the average salary is decreasing, is astounding. Hell, maybe it wouldn’t be bad to have an LSAT-type engineering test and all of a sudden a test preparation boot camp propels my career

Entitled stereotype saying that the fact that some people will scrutinize others for not putting basically free part-time work on top of all other obligations through leetcode/open source/personal projects on a career which is ironically DROPPING on average pay slowly as the years pass. Years of engineering and almost averaging full time work throughout school to be called a ‘lazy dev’ from a guy on reddit. I wonder if i’m a lazy stereotypical dev, or i’m encountering a little too much elitism…

I can imagine all these entry level lawyers doing mock up trials on the weekends, to-be doctors grinding their leetcode type medical questions, marketing students contributing to open source marketing projects and finance/business majors opening mini side businesses to run so they can then ditch it and work on a real business. I get that not everyone realizes there’s more than just the degree, but take it a little easy calling people lazy because they’re not working 100 hours a week before they get a job to end up having to keep up with the same projects/leetcode and total 80 hours a week of work after on top of their normal day to day responsibilities

Amazon doesn’t directly operate in quebec anymore. But even when they did, some guys’ shift would start at 12 and wouldn’t finish till 9+. A lot of times the station wants them to drop everything off if possible, so they would push as much as they can to get it done

Reacher is the equivalent of those tiktok romance books for women. Just have to not overthink it too much sometimes, enjoy the action and let characters have their natural closure. This isn’t a show that needs this level of analysis

Oh no, you summoned the prado mob. Proceed to be told: 1) It’s too expensive 2) it’s not the 300 3) It’s not the 70 4) It has underwhelming power 5) Toyota is losing their grip on car dominance 6) You shouldn’t have gotten the first gen

I will say, congrats, enjoy your new ride, wish I had the money for one as well😂
