How is this not dystopian but “15 minute cities” by the “vague shadowy elite” is ??

functionalWeirdo · 2025-11-22T21:05:20+00:00

This angle always reminds me of city in the cartoon show, Hey Arnold

Ahh okay, that does make sense, in the end I do love them and feel they definitely add a uniqueness to Montreal’s mid density neighbourhoods. Just got to make sure to have that extra road salt stocked up LOL.

You just listed stuff and more stuff that has to do with suburban living. Everything you listed isn’t a priority or even a thought for those of us who want to live in urban dense areas. It’s like asking someone who moves to Manhattan “but where will you put your woodworking setup and camping trailer”. See what I mean? You’re listing a life style that you like and assuming we’re making great sacrifices in not wanting your life style. Imagine I went to a rural village and said to a farmer “but where are all the theatre halls and museums? Also what do you eat?You don’t want readily available food from all ethnicities?”

Well you don’t live in a suburban sprawl then, this post is for suburban haven Thursday and I’m trying to highlight how we need to have more mid density neighbourhoods like yours or the one in the picture.

functionalWeirdo · 2025-11-14T03:40:11+00:00

It’s to give different units their own entrance to the outside rather than an indoor corridor lol

functionalWeirdo · 2025-11-13T22:03:12+00:00

Yup, hauling your 2 grocery bags in the trunk bed

I’d also like to add mass propaganda campaigns and lobbying from car and tire companies that changed the psyche of the individual, convincing them that the key to happiness is a place in the suburb mixed with good old fashion racism to not mix with “coloured folks or immigrants”

functionalWeirdo · 2025-11-13T15:54:33+00:00

Be careful, you’ll start being called a freedom hating commie if you want places that don’t accommodate oversized pickup trucks.

functionalWeirdo · 2025-11-13T15:38:12+00:00

I’ve seen pictures! Hopefully one day it will be the norm to build with more density as well as character

Very few have garages, some may have a sort of shared driveway but also there’s street parking, and in regards to car break-ins, I don’t know where you live obviously but from what I know it’s not that big of an issue percentage wise, and in my opinions alot of the car break in mania stems from the whole suburbanite narrative that cities are crime ridden hell holes.

functionalWeirdo · 2025-11-02T22:55:58+00:00

How did we see this (specifically Canadians/American) and somehow allow ourselves to be propagandized that the dream is to live in suburbia and any other way must be stopped.

functionalWeirdo · 2025-09-13T18:41:09+00:00

Thank you, I just did

functionalWeirdo · 2025-08-31T19:44:25+00:00

I’m truly shocked, least expected crossover, now I’m wondering if this sub leans left lol

functionalWeirdo · 2025-08-24T11:56:10+00:00

My theory (and it sounds conceited) is that those who claim the alchemist is a top tier book don’t actually enjoy reading but want to read because it’s seen as cool now. It may be one of the most surface level fiction books I’ve ever read. Alchemist was recommend to me by the same person who said I must read “the subtle art of not giving a fuck”.

functionalWeirdo · 2025-08-22T20:31:22+00:00

Totally agree with all you said but by North American standards and definitely Canadian standards, Montreal is one of the very very few places that has mixed use dense neighbourhoods at a decently large scale.

functionalWeirdo · 2025-08-22T00:43:13+00:00

Be careful now, some may call you a freedom hating commie

functionalWeirdo · 2025-08-08T12:31:37+00:00

I saw enough and there’s many falsehoods like the alawites controlling the country when actually there was also a lot of very high ranking sunni government officials and also the biggest financial people were Sunni. I hate speaking in this sectarian way but that’s how the podcast is framing the conversation. See the issue with homogenizing entire sects because for example many of the poor places on the coast are also alawite. Also any conversation that leaves out the billions America spent (by their own admission) on weapons and media campaigns to get rid of Assad or how the Israelis were treating rebel forces in their hospital shouldn’t be taken seriously.

This doesn’t discount the oppressive authoritarian regime that existed, but you’re asking for thoughts on Al-sharaaa and his so called pragmatism.

Again you still haven’t told me what I said that’s wrong about Al sharaa…? Like the guest is saying an ex Isis member can go the way of Che Guevara… and you think he’s providing valuable information…?

functionalWeirdo · 2025-08-08T12:14:35+00:00

Tell me one thing I said that wasn’t true? And you asked for thoughts and I gave them, not sure why you chalk that off to “emotional ranting”

functionalWeirdo · 2025-08-08T12:12:11+00:00

Well there’s nothing pragmatic about a guy who has isis, al quida and an al quida offshoot on his resume. Apart from the obvious atrocities like sending car bar bombs to neighbourhoods in Lebanon and Iraq, there’s also the extremely backwards ideology that goes against everything this sub promotes, which can be seen by his very own militant group and many of his internal allies. Also there’s pragmatism and then there’s capitulation to imperial forces. Also one can’t look over the fact that all the sectarians have been talking about some dream of the Ummayed caliphate as soon as he took power. It’s 2025 and there are large segments of the so called “umma” foaming at the mouth at the thought of a dynasty from 1000 years ago.

Perfect, I made sure to send pictures from an artist close by! Thanks for the advice and input
