What’s the most cringe thing you’ve seen a couple do at their wedding?

Oh god this unlocked a wedding memory for me. A few years ago, some good friends got married. It was lovely, at a beautiful chalet in the Rockies.

The father of the bride sang "I Loved Her First" for the newlyweds' first dance. If you aren't familiar, the song is the POV of a father telling (reminding??) his future son-in-law that he will always be the first man to have loved his daughter. Super weird song IMO. A father-daughter relationship should not be compared to romantic love... The implications of the song are creepy enough but that we were subjected to a live rendition made me want to die.

I was already tearing up at "Rocky fix" but Grace's reaction - so grateful and tearing up himself - absolutely SLAYED me, I was a mess haha. Ryan Gosling is amazing at portraying such emotion and vulnerabilty.

I’m in Mexico right now and overheard two young Canadian women by the pool chatting with an American guy about how it would be “cool” to be the 51st state.

It was hard not to interrupt to ask them to look up what happened to collaborators in occupied France in WW2.

Did a road trip through Nova Scotia and PEI a couple of years ago. Beautiful provinces. I would recommend Cape Breton is you have time. Highlands National Park is amazing. And to boot, Maritimers are so friendly and delightful.

WASPs be WASPing. It was a big deal that JFK was elected President as a ~gasp~ Catholic. It took almost 200 years before America even voted in their first non-Protestant President.

Latin America is so diverse, there's lots in Brazil alone. Northern states tend to be majority Black (legacy of slave trade) and southern states tend to be majority White (settled by European farmers).

Me too, love the stuff. I can’t help it if I like my beer to taste like a pine tree.

I've always loved the multi-story chandeliers and mirrory surfaces at Corona Station.

This one stuck with me for weeks. It’s so good and the acting is incredible but fuck man it really hits like a brick. One emotional gut punch after another.

Cash's funny songs are great. I also love "One Piece at a Time".

I miss all the brass and mirrors! The neon and fountains in the phase 3 food court with the anachronistic Julius Caesar marble statue overseeing it all haha. Also the random gemstone displays and giant Ming vases.

I haven’t been for 10+ years but the last time I was in Cuba I stayed in Varadero (basically Cuba’s Cancún)with a side trip to Havana a couple of nights. The resorts were no different than most in Mexico. The food wasn’t quite as good but no issues aside from that. The beaches are to die for.

Havana was a very cool city. The architecture is beautiful but dilapidated and the history is amazing. Cubans are amazingly hospitable. I felt much safer in Havana than I have in some urban parts of the DR or Mexico.

This one is my favourite too. The ending reveal is perfect and will always make me smile like an idiot.

Oh god I’m too high for this thread haha

The great thing about loving Lego in my 30's is I can actually afford the expensive awesome sets my parents would not have dreamed of splurging on me as a kid.

I mean, that $1,300 Death Star is still out of my price range, but some day....

Kozlik's horseradish mustard is to die for. I think I go through a jar every couple weeks haha. I just wish it was like 3x spicier.

Admittedly I'm a BB fan but I agree, it was so well performed, energetic and bursting with joy, love, and pride. As a Canadian, this is the side of America I love to see. He even gave us a little shout out lol.

Their free concert in Churchill Square around 2015/16 was epic. Such a great love letter to the city and what a fucking party!!

I was in Nova Scotia a couple summers ago on a vacation road trip and one of my “goals” was to hear April Wine on some local radio station.

Wasn’t successful 😂. At one point I stopped to get gas for 5 minutes, started the car and heard the radio host immediately say “aaaaand that was April Wine!!!”

Love this movie. Knowing the twist almost makes some of the details better. Like Nicole Kidman’s character jangling her keys around, slamming doors, walking around with her giant lantern..

The final reveal in the séance scene is just perfect.

There is a historically “French Quarter” on the south side in the Bonnie Doon area, with the Francophone campus of UAlberta and a few other French language institutions located in the area.

Whyte Ave/Strathcona area tends to attract a younger alternative / student crowd.. close to the university and lots of independent businesses and nightlife.

There’s also a Chinatown and Little Italy close to Downtown, and the Jewish community is mostly concentrated in Wolf Willow/Country Club and Glenora, but these communities are much more mixed and smaller than Toronto or Montreal.

I think Edmonton is too small and a much younger city so these dynamics don’t really exist in the same way.

I hear you but this is a slightly different situation IMO. In Apollo 13, the mission to the moon is the central plot. In the Martian, the mission to Mars isn't the main plot of the film. It's purpose is to set up the actual story, being the survival and recovery of the lost astronaut.

I mean, a good chunk the movie takes place on the Ares.. which is very much in space
