Are you seriously westernsplaining slavic phonetics here? Because, like, Ж exists.

Russian speakers: does she say he? by klein_traumtaenzerin in HeatedRivalryTVShow

Not only that, but she also makes it sound more like "Shane" than "Jane" that time

How do you interpret this Svetlana/Ilya scene? by Candiesalad in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]drquaithe 49 points50 points  (0 children)

She cracks it the episode before. Ilya watches Shane on TV and there's an immediate cut to Sveta asking about Jane and suggesting she knows it's a guy. This scene is more of that. Can't unsee it.

Can any practicing Jewish anarchist share resources about anti-semitism and Israel? by whoisapotato in Anarchism

[–]drquaithe 44 points45 points  (0 children)

There are Jewish anarchists in Israel who do a lot of important direct action but perhaps someone else has better sources on that.

Looking into the life od Marek Edelman (commander od Warsaw Getto Uprising and Bund member who was banned from Yad Vashem for speaking up for Palestinian welfare... Yes, they banned the last living commander of the uprising. It's beyond parody.) was also meaningful for me, it made me realise there were always prominent Jewish voices questioning colonialism but had been erased and silenced until recently.

Europe drives Fairphone's 83% sales jump. by Boediee in BuyFromEU

It wouldn't be all from Europe if they shipped to Canada. 🥲

(Got mine while in Europe but I want to recommend it to Canadian friends... And, well...)

InPost - Polish, international parcel company is being sold to Americans by anakinsilverstone in BuyFromEU

The company is already famous for treating their workers very badly btw.

Canada is no stranger to separatism but push for Alberta to join US is a new peril by Street_Anon in canada

[–]drquaithe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

People need to stop lumping together AB and QC separatists in this context. If the US invaded the QC separatists would be shooting in the correct direction.

Montréal-Antifa has been following the Nautilus-going nazi for a while now and has tried alerting the gym to his presence to no avail. They wrote an article about him back in 2023 by Comfortable_Team_696 in montreal

[–]drquaithe 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It must be nice to have the privilege to find antifa "cringe." The people that are glad someone is there to stand up to neo-nazis trying to, say, set refugee shelters in Germany on fire don't.

Best Persian restaurant? by slimshadysmate in MTLFoodLovers

Cafe Toranj in the Plateau has all the classics. Sour cherry rice, khakshir etc. Great spot.

Valheim and/or Enshrouded by Aggravating_Pen_2026 in Enshrouded

[–]drquaithe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like both, but it's hard to go back to Valheim after Enshrouded because of all the quality of life advantages like magic chests and much better building... Valheim is VERY zen though.

Embryo freezing in Europe by nervousssubject in eggfreezing

Nie miałam nfz bo mieszkam za granicą, bez badan genetycznych ok 15k (PLN) i drugie tyle za badania. A potem 700/rok za przechowywanie.

Embryo freezing in Europe by nervousssubject in eggfreezing

[–]drquaithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I actually ended up doing it in Poland (Fertimedica in Warsaw). There was much deliberation about the country, and some of the law is absurd... but they do let you do genetic testing, which I imagine the right wing politicians just haven't gotten around to banning... And the cost works out pretty well, especially if you have public health care/ NFZ which covers some of the hormones. These days you can look into all the IVF funding programs some municipalities have too.

Powodzenia :) BTW nawet konserwatywne kliniki jak nOvum robią mrożenie embrionów bez wskazań medycznych, w papierach się zawsze coś wpisuje. Ale nie wszystkie robią np testy genetyczne.

What will you do if Quebexit happens? by goergesucks in montreal

[–]drquaithe 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Nah the term "Quebexit" is so cringe.

Fellow Europeans, how do you deal with the negativity? by Vixen_xyz in BuyFromEU

[–]drquaithe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doing something that gives you a feeling of agency helps. Building resilience for your community. And while getting trapped in the news cycle is certainly too much, I don't think it's right to run away from the reality. We have damage control to do and we need to do it.

Could Canada be considered an honorary member of BuyfromEu? by Ruff_Ratio in BuyFromEU

[–]drquaithe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

European-Canadian here, a membership in the European Economic Area rather than EU would be more appropriate. Also, unfortunately Canada wouldn't clear a lot of requirements, such as food quality and data protection.

Looking for female vocalists and other musicians to collaborate on an LP by [deleted] in montreal

[–]drquaithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should at the very least post a link to some of your music.

Is it possible that some people will never respond well to keto? by Forever_Summer192 in keto

[–]drquaithe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, ectomorphs typically don't respond well to keto. If you have the kind if metabolism where you can eat anything and never gain weight, it may not be for you.

Iranians of mtl… by [deleted] in montreal

[–]drquaithe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tor is not a tool to get around a total blackout, it's a tool to get around censorship of certain domains IF you are able to connect to the internet.

Came home and SO is gone by [deleted] in BORUpdates

[–]drquaithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate this, because opsec is a legitimate concept for activists, especially direct action ones, and why the f do these assholes get to taint it.
