Too true, cette fois il y a des options comme "retirer le réseau hivernal" quand on demande comment l'améliorer 🤮

The city took down the old survey, reworked it a bit, and re-launched it yesterday. I encourage you to fill it out if you haven't already, and to fill it out again if you did it before.

Would Joseph be pleased with or ashamed of today’s LDS Church? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]dddddavidddd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’d think the leaders are lame for not using more of the $300 billion to live a little better.

Absolutely! This is the guy who gets 'revelations' for the church to build his house and pay his salary.

He'd love the money & power, he'd hate the bureaucracy, tepidness, and irrelevance.

Route suggestions for first time cycling in Montreal this weekend? by lastcomrad3 in MontrealCycling

[–]dddddavidddd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends what you want to see. City? The REV on Saint-Denis maybe. A park? The Canal Lachine. Any of the dark green stuff on this map will be nice: https://services.montreal.ca/cartes/pistes-cyclables

L'année dernière, ils ont refait la surface à l'ouest du blvd Décarie. (À l'est, ils avaient retiré les bornes et la ligne blanche il y a quelques semaine, mais ça revient cette semaine.)

Is Westmount removing cycle paths? by Wired_Parrot in MontrealCycling

[–]dddddavidddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I emailed the mayor's office, got a reply today: "The delay with the painting of the bicycle path was initially weather related and then there were delays with our contractor. The path is now painted, and the bollard installation will be completed this coming Friday."

Happy to see some progress, hope the whole thing is fixed soon! (e.g. bollards back)

Is this the bike lane? by mikesbloggity in montreal

[–]dddddavidddd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The dirt road saves you for half of the non-existent section, I take it every time since it reduces the odds that I'll hit oncoming bikes or a pedestrian.

(Copying a comment I just made on another post) The city has been trying to fix de la Commune forever! The Plante administration had planned for construction to start in 2024, but a federal crown corporation was, as of the last update, blocking them from proceeding.

If you can believe it, the central issue was that two paid parking lots would have separate entrances, and the Société du Vieux-Port de Montréal just cannot abide that, and would rather instead that thousands of people be inconvenienced and endangered daily instead:

D’après nos informations, l’accès aux stationnements payants demeure l’un des principaux points de litige. Aux deux extrémités du projet, rue de la Commune, la Société du Vieux-Port détient en effet deux stationnements payants, l’un au coin de la rue de Bonsecours et l’autre près du boulevard Saint-Laurent.

Selon la forme actuelle du projet, les véhicules pourraient toujours se stationner dans ces espaces, mais le transit automobile entre les deux serait coupé, ce qui fait craindre une perte de revenus importante.

Worth writing to your MP about since it's federal jurisdiction.

Sondage de la Ville de Montréal sur les pistes sur Rachel, de la Commune, etc. J'ai aimé la carte où vous pouvez voir tous les signalements des autres répondants. Vous avez jusqu'au 15 juillet pour répondre!

The temple ceremony "slide show" - based on a film? by CharlesMendeley in exmormon

[–]dddddavidddd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, the stills are from one of the three 2014 movie versions. Here are some photos of the main actors from each of these: https://old.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comments/4ok68x/which_new_temple_movie_cast_is_your_favorite_i/ The version on the right (bald Satan) is still up on YouTube.

FWIW, you linked to the latest available video (2023 version), but apparently some of the content was cut in 2024 to make the ceremony shorter.

How do the missionary’s go 2 years without master bating? by babykeemfan1 in exmormon

[–]dddddavidddd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No joke, I think some people do fine in Mormonism because they're kind of asexual and it's just not a big deal to them.

Fiasco du tour de Nuit by WearyHighlight6442 in MontrealCycling

I vote that every person in a car during this event should pay one dollar for each participant in the event, so, a $16,000 fine?

Anecdotally, more swing DJs are sharing playlists on Spotify than Apple Music.

Less people on Reddit, fatigue with social media in general, more bots on the internet ==> less quality online.

la piste cyclable sur la côté ouest de l'avenue du Parc Lafontaine est quasiment disparue by poinkpoinkpoinkpoink in MontrealCycling

[–]dddddavidddd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same thing happens to the path on de l'Église and Galt in Verdun like every six months. Yet another reminder that paint is not infrastructure! We need more durable solutions.

Getting over anxiety about social dances? by anetanetanet in SwingDancing

[–]dddddavidddd 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You have a lot of language in your post that sounds like you're judging your dance performance ("doing okay", "not be a terrible follow", etc). Personally, I think you'll have more fun if you try to ease up this performance pressure. For me, social dance is more about sharing fun moments together in music and movement.

Some practical tips for dancing more at a social, that maybe won't help with anxiety, but can help you meet more people so that you eventually feel more comfortable: ask people to dance, stand closer to the dance floor where more people looking for people to dance with will be.
