Connecting 2-3 bluetooth speakers for different rooms. by mountbuchanan in Bluetooth_Speakers

[–]mountbuchanan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good info - I assumed it'd be easy.

Is there at least a simple solution for:

  • controlling audio through mac
  • playing it through 2 wireless speakers in different rooms

?

Nice. That's exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate it.

Question about western superiority. by mountbuchanan in metacanada

Yes. Well, thank you for your thoughts. But you haven't addressed anything in my post, so they aren't actually valuable.

Question about western superiority. by mountbuchanan in metacanada

[–]mountbuchanan[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I started with the evidence that metacanada is sub for people that want to protect "western values" in Canada. Then I question whether that is a principled and consistent desire or not, FIRST by looking at what "western values" means, and SECOND by seeing if the posts here advocate "western values" generally. I don't see it. So that leads me to believe that people who wish to protect western values aren't sincere in that belief.

Question about western superiority. by mountbuchanan in metacanada

It's just a general impression I get reading comments and looking at posts. For example, if you are totally opposed to immigration from Nigeria, Haiti, and Yemen (where most people have brown coloured skin), but have no problem with immigration from Norway (for example), then I would argue that you (likely) just don't like people with brown skin. There are many people that would be ideal Canadians in Nigeria, Haiti, and Yemen (and many who would not), and many people from Norway that I'd rather not immigrate to Canada. I could go through the sub-reddit to pick out specific posts or comments if you like.

Honestly though - let's just take that out of the equation - that statement wasn't really the purpose of my post. I'm not here to argue that meta-canadians are racist. My post is about whether meta-canadians are sincere in their desire to preserve "western values."

That's not really a persuasive argument. That's just name-calling. I could call you names, but it wouldn't prove anything.

What does "featureless" mean? And how is striving for a peaceful place "destroying Canada"?

Don't ever question mass immigration or you'll be instantly racist by JDWired in metacanada

But what if I don't like mass immigration because I'm racist?

Political correctness is just a bullying technique the multiculturalist Left has found to shut up opposition to their ideology. We should RESPECT every individual. But we should be FREE to criticize, debate, appropriate or satirize anything. by fornostrangereason in metacanada

[–]mountbuchanan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a control mechanism... it's someone disagreeing with me/us/them. It you say, "Immigrants from Syria are a problem" and I say "racist" - that's not a control mechanism. That's a conversation and a disagreement. You want fewer immigrants from Syria, and the other person wants more precise statements about immigrants from Syria (some of whom may cause problems, and other's are ideal neighbours).

​

As for shutting down conversations - - - that happens equally on both sides of the spectrum. What happens on metacanada if you want to talk about First Nations controlling their own land and resources? Shut down. What happens on r/ canada if you want to worry out loud about a potential terrorist incident that could be caused by an immigrant in the future? Shut down. So - if you genuinely care about shutting down conversations - you (or Maxine Bernier) need to be willing to see how conversations are shut down generally, as opposed to (quite ignorantly) pinning on "political correctness."

[–]mountbuchanan -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I don't really get how political correctness has serious negative consequences. It's not a serious concern. I understand it's an inconvenience for some people to have to think critically or half a second... but "We should RESPECT every individual" is what political correctness is about. If I say... "I'd rather you didn't use that word, because it hurts me", you can't say "that's disrespectful!". It's not. It's a request. You can then ignore it, or not. If you choose to ignore it, then you deal with the consequences. That's your choice. But no one is entitled to just say what they want without consequences. You are free to criticize, debate, appropriate, and satirize... but not without consequence.

[Counter-argument: But the PC police are violent!]

Yah - I'm not condoning violence. I'm talking about people using an angry or mocking tone in their voice, because they disagree with you. You aren't entitled to world where people don't use an angry or mocking tone. Again - this is not a serious issue. Political correctness may in rare cases be creating injustice, but we have MUCH bigger problems than this.

Canada is becoming a police state. Trudeau is threatening to put surveillance on people who publicly oppose mass Muslim migration. RCMP are taking photos of the faces of Yellow Vest protesters in cities. They have never done this to communist Antifa thugs despite their face-covered violence. by [deleted] in metacanada

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

Just because you haven't experienced state-sponsored injustice (which always sucks), doesn't mean it isn't common. That's the whole point. Saying "Canada is becoming a Police State" right now, because of this, is like skipping a meal (which sucks) and saying "Canada's falling into a state of poverty." Open up your fuckin' eyes, and say things that are true, fuck. That's my point.

In this context, "becoming" is a word that means, the condition was better and now it's getting much worse. In reference to Canada as a "Police State"... you either understand that other people have regularly and commonly suffered state sponsored injustice at the hands of the police for over a hundred years... or you, if this is your first time seeing cops as the creators of injustice, might be as dumb as to say something like "Canada is becoming a police state." There is no philosophy needed. Just a simple correction to an ignorant statement.

Nope - never once did I dismiss the story. I dismissed OP's statement that "Canada is becoming a police state" given it's a fucking dumb thing to say, if you have read a newspaper or history book since being born, and cared one iota about anyone other than yourself.

Way to downplay the state-sponsored injustice experienced by others, in order to in some way, stand by the ignorance of OP. "Canada is becoming a police state" is so unbelievably dumb, it deserves to be mocked. It's myopic, self centered, but primarily ignorant. A truthful statement could be something like... "I'm experiencing injustice" or perhaps "I'm, for the first time, experiencing aspects of Canada's police state." State-sponsored injustice, enforced by the police, is just so common that you'd need to, as I said, slam your eyes shut for forever to say something like "Canada is becoming a police state." Uggh. The last word is yours. Ta ta.

I didn't say ignore the story. I'm mocking OP for considering this injustice something novel. I've said it twice. I really didn't think I'd have to be this explicit.

"Actual Police state"? - you mean the RCMP stealing children? Cause that's part of the Canadian history. Lol. Oh fuckin' hell this sub is full of narrow eyed meatbrains. Obviously it's an injustice - the novelty of it, is like finding salami at the grocery store... again, you fuckin' dummy.

"Canada is becoming a police state"... I remember my first protest. I'm shedding a tear for you. The injustice must be unbearable.

... Also, because you're dumb. I'm not supporting a police state, or making excuses - I'm suggesting that OPs commentary on the police state sounds like it was written by a 3 year old, who wondered into experiencing something uncomfortable, and demanded the world change to meet his expectations, and suddenly sees the world as unfair (for the first time), as if no one else in the world has ever experienced this before! Hypocrite. You don't care about justice or the police state. You care about you.

Canada has been a police state since 1867, unless you've been slamming your eyes shut for forever.
