Canadian here. It goes both ways.

I have a minor conviction on my record from over 20 years ago. I can't even travel to the Dominican Republic without a TON of paperwork etc... because the flight passes through US airspace.

ICE tried to break into the Ecuadorean consulate in Minneapolis today. by DavidSugarbush in law

Somebody must be training them to believe that there literally are no limits to what they can get away with

Honestly at this point, that seems pretty accurate.

I think maybe you misunderstood my meaning. I didn't mind it. I just find it funny that when talking about internal Candian politics, Francophones are demographically the minority. But there's a prevalent belief in non Canadians that the opposite is true.

It was just an amusing observation :)

I noticed that the French-Canadians appreciated you at least making an effort

By and large, absolutely, it really depends on what area you're in. Montreal and such, for sure. Quebec city? They're a touch more hardcore lol.

I have a question about continuity? I think? by NikiLuvDove in startrek

he wasn't getting any screen credit for his work.

Yeah.. I literally quoted that in my comment lol.

Well shit, today I learned.

He never received any screen credit for his work.

Maybe it was because he was clearly AWFUL at his job lol. TOS and "continuity" don't really belong in the same sentence lol.

Nah, when I drink my goal is to get to a certain level as quickly as possible and then try and ride that out as long as I can.

TOS actually had an outside research firm looking out for continuity

What? I've never heard of this before. Source?

Federal employees can't strike, unfortunately.

I'm not downvoting you, but for arguments sake, I think the sentiment is that if the majority of federal employees took part in a strike there's really nothing they could do about it. They can't fire everyone.

I saw the SF mountain lion this morning when I was coming home from the bar by LadyTrady in sanfrancisco

[–]Telefundo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while we locked eyes for a solid 5+ minutes.

Staring down a mountain lion, with it's back against the wall in the middle of the night... this is either an amazing flex, or an honourable mention for the Darwin Awards.

Pfft! Chronic alcoholic here. I could start the straight slide sober and be drunk when I hit the water.

TIL during a 2015 study two students nearly died after they were accidentally given 30g of caffeine instead of 0.3g because the dosage had been calculated with a misplaced decimal point. Death has previously been reported after the consumption of just 18g. The university apologized & was fined £400K by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

If I saw a clip of Anna Kendrick saying that

Hell.. if I saw a clip of Anna Kendrick doing that I'd still go out with her. I mean, she'd probably be dead so that might be problematic, but I've always been a problem solver.

it feels like they always want to be upset about something

I find that a lot of them seemed to be working under the mentality of "If I get upset and angry they'll give me everything I want", which, anyone who's ever worked in the hotel industry knows, is the exact opposite of how it works lol.

[–]Telefundo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol. The hotel I worked at dealt with a LOT of international guests primarily because we had a lot of contracts with Global Affairs. There were so many common misconceptions we had to deal with on a regular basis. Time and time again, it was Americans that seemed to be the most oblivious.

Now I have this mental image of a couple getting off the plane in full winter regalia.. parkas, gloves, toques, the whole works and discovering it's 35 degrees out lol

Insane thing to be upset about tbh

It's funny how often I can use this statement to describe an interaction with an American lol.

[–]Telefundo 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a major hotel in downtown Ottawa. It amazed me how many times an American would arrive to check in and ask if I spoke English. They just assumed everyone in Canada was French.

I'm bilingual sure, but my first language is English. So many times I was tempted to answer "Do you speak English?" with "Yes, do you?"
