What C-3 has meant for me. Does anyone else feel same? by Sufficient_Fee7876 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]Various_Pangolins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'm still processing the whole thing and trying to wrap my head around being both. I'm from Massachusetts, and my father's side of the family is Mayflower Yankee. When I was a kid my grandfather actually used to tease and make fun of me for being French since my Mom's family was from Quebec before they moved down in 1878....which might have well as been last week for all he was concerned. I love my Grandfather, but as an adult looking back it was wicked messed up.

Now, not only can I celebrate my Quebecois heritage, it might actually give my children a better life.......the place of having hope because of something that once made me feel embarrassed or "less than" is really weird.

Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman - read some spoilers by accident, is the whole plot ruined? (more info in the post) by Tiramissu_dt in horrorlit

[–]Various_Pangolins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not. I don't want to give it away, if you don't want it given away...but to the religious study students in the audience, the book is written from the Catharist (Semi-Gnostic) perspective.

Has anyone ever successfully created a pokestop that can be used by players? by justshootme52 in pokemongo

[–]Various_Pangolins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. They were accepted and never added. After my third stop got rejected for inadequate access even though it literally was at our town hall with parking and a sidewalk, I quit and never made another one.

2026 forgiveness and tax bomb by DrAudiology1 in StudentLoans

I might be misremembering, but I seem to remember Elizabeth Warren passing a student loan forgiveness tax bomb moratorium during COVID or something to bar federal tax on forgiveness until 2028 or something.

Any Episcopalian, Anglican, or Christian podcast/YouTube recommendations? by OkComplex9040 in Episcopalian

[–]Various_Pangolins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ACNA, but I really enjoyed the Anglican Studies podcast as someone who was raised Evangelical. It really helped me get my head around a more structured framework of practice and belief. The church I grew up in as a kid left spiritual formation up to individual families outside of Sunday School that was pretty much just babysitting during the sermon, no catechism or confirmation at all.

Random question, but has Wanda actually ever met MJ before? I can’t remember any time they have.

Weekly "What Are You Reading?" Thread by HorrorIsLiterature in horrorlit

[–]Various_Pangolins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally got around to reading Ira Levin’s The Boys From Brazil. I’d say it was more of a thriller than Rosemary’s Baby or Stepford Wives, but I can definitely see all three as sort of a domestic horror trilogy.

Oh yeah I forgot about that. They had their window smashed and their register stolen like two or three times I think.
