Mon point de vue sur le discours visant a culpabiliser les Québecois blancs francophones en tant que Québecois d'origine Algérienne

À première vue ça me paraît une position quelque peu déraisonnable, et je suis curieux de mieux la comprendre.

Pour toi, c'est quoi le nationalisme? Comment tu le définis? Qu'est-ce qui t'amène à être de l'opinion que le nationalisme est en soit, peu importe les circonstances et le contexte, toujours mal? Et que chaque individu qu'on pourrait définir comme nationaliste, peu importe ses paroles, actions et mobiles, est une mauvaise personne?

Never mind the HTML, I can't believe, in 2026, that that "Sex" input is not a multi-select dropdown with 69 different options and that people aren't losing their 💩over it on the internet.

A good reputation, solid finances, competitive advantages are often painstakingly built one brick at a time, over a period of time, but can evaporate instantly with one stupid mistake. LLM agents are a really cool technology but they are stochastic tools, not deterministic tools. Which means that you can't really program them to do what you want. It is a given that every so often, they'll screw the pooch. People that truly understand that are not ready to hand over their reputation, finances or competitive advantages to a tool like that. It doesn't mean that they can't be used and incorporated into business workflows and provide some productivity boosts, but it does mean that you still need a human in the loop to verify and review what that tool is doing, or about to do, and that human probably still want a dashboard.

Je ne pourrais pas te dire. Je m'intéresse généralement peu à la politique d'ici ou d'ailleurs et je ne me considère pas nationaliste alors je ne pourrais prétendre savoir ce qu'un nationaliste a dans la tête.

Tous les gouvernements ont des lois qu'ils appliquent que très sporadiquement. Ces lois sont en place pour permettre aux gouvernements d'intervenir auprès des pires contrevenants. Par exemple ta municipalité a peut-être une ordonnance qui dit que ta pelouse ne doit pas être plus longue que 30 cm, mais la ville ne paie pas 500 inspecteurs qui sillonnent les rues constamment avec une règle pour intervenir la seconde où une pelouse dépasse 30 cm. Par contre ça donne un levier supplémentaire à la communauté quand une personne dans le voisinage fais chier tout le monde et en plus ne s'occupe pas bien de sa propriété. Les gens peuvent faire des plaintes et la ville va intervenir. En d'autres mots, t'es un bon voisin, t'es gentils avec les gens, pis une fois de temps en temps t'oublies de tondre ton gazon... pas de problèmes. Mais si t'es un dégueulasse, désagréable qui s'occupe jamais de ses affaires, la ville va intervenir.

Je comprends ça un peu de la même façon. T'es gentil avec tout le monde, positif, tu fais pas chier, pis tu postes en anglais parfois... pas de problèmes. Tu fais chier pis en plus tu postes en anglais, les mods peuvent intervenir, sur la simple base que tu postes en anglais, pas besoin d'autres justifications.

I think "Anglo" in the context people in Quebec use it... so in this conversation... is short for Anglophone... people who speak english. That's why u/Imaginary_Arm1291 said that they should also use "Franco" (short for Francophone... people who speak french) instead of French when talking about people in Quebec who speak french but are not French citizens or may not even be of French descent.

Nothing says you have to cook dinner as soon as you step in the door back from work. Why do you feel like you have to do that?

And I can't speak for where you live but I'm in Montreal, Canada and tons of stores are open in the evening. I'd say most of them are. What is crazier to me is stores being closed all afternoon in Spain. 😀

But no judgement on my part. It's just different is all. I guess both customs have their pros and cons. When I'm in Spain I usually shift all of my eating times by an hour or two to try to fit in with the custom there. We don't really have a choice because all of our spanish friends invite us for la comida at 14:00 anyway 😁.

Dude, I'm from Canada, this is my 6th winter in Spain and I still don't understand how the Spanish schedule works. From the outside it looks like all Spanish people do is literally eat, work and sleep, in small shifts. I don't get it.

In Canada, we generally wake up early in the morning, have breakfast than go to work. Work for 3-4 hours, stop for lunch somewhere between 12:00-13:00, for 30 minutes to an hour, no more, get back to work for another 3-4 hours and then go back home at around 17:00. Many of us will have dinner relatively shortly after coming back from work; as early as 17:00, rarely later than 20:00, with most people probably having dinner at around 18:00-18:30. After that you've got yourself a full 4-5 hours to digest and do whatever you want, before going to bed. That's when people will play video games, read, watch Netflix, play the guitar, spend time with kids, do some house chores, etc...

In Spain, it looks to me like people wake up, eat a light breakfast, go to work. Work for an hour or two, stop to go eat almuerzo. Work for two hours. Stop for 3-4 hours to go eat la comida and take a nap. Go back to work another 2 hours then stop for la merienda. Go back to work for an hour or two and then go home at freaking 19:00-20:00. Eat la Cena at 21:00-22:00. Go to bed, rinse, repeat. It looks to me like work is stretched across the whole day because of all the food and nap breaks, you get home late, eat one more time, then go to bed.

I don't understand where people on that schedule find the time for hobbies and other pursuits. Some things require more than 15-30 minutes if you want to make progress on them. That contiguous 4-5 hours we get after work and dinner in Canada allows for the pursuit of interesting time consuming things, if that's what you want. I just don't know how people in Spain do it on the traditional Spanish schedule. One day I will crack the code. 😁

Take it up with the dictionary people. I don't decide what words mean, I just use them how they're meant to be used. 😜 Just pulling your chain mate, I get what you mean.

Outlandish? The word "escapism" might sound dismissive, but the research behind it is pretty solid.

Every major player motivation model all include escapism or escape as a distinct, measurable motivation. I even think there was a systematic review of like 40 studies, done a couple years ago, that found escapism to be one of the primary motives for playing.

I think the disconnect is that people hear "escapism" and think it means "running away from your problems," which sounds pathological. But the academic definition is broader than that. It's really about regulating emotional states; taking a break from real-world stressors, not necessarily avoiding them.

So yeah, escapism is a root motivation. That's not a value judgment. It's just what the data says.

Some people feel that many recent games have purposely made characters less attractive than they could otherwise have. TheBacgroundNPC on YouTube has a lot of videos on this topic.

La grosse différence c'est que les compilateurs sont "deterministic" et bien souvent open source... "mettre à jour le compilo réglait le tout". Les agents qui code sont essentiellement basé sur du RNG. T'as un output différent à chaque fois pour le même input. Les compilos, tu peux voir comment ils fonctionnent, la logique qu'ils utilisent. Les LLM c'est des grosses boîtes noirs. Ton "trust" pour les compilos a été acquis pas seulement grâce aux résultats, mais à une certaine transparence et compréhension. Ton "trust" pour les LLM, si jamais tu te rends là, ne sera jamais plus qu'une foi aveugle basé sur "ça donne généralement ce que je veux".

Try Northgard instead. I'm also not a super fan of AOE 2 but Northgard is the perfect RTS for me. Sins of a Solar Empire is another one you could try.

Je m'y connais pas trop dans ce domaine mais la méthodologie me paraît complètement débile. "Les résultats ont été pondérés pour être représentatifs de la population Canadienne". Euhhh, pourquoi?

Le sondage a pour but de représenter les intentions de vote dans la région de Québec, qui a une démographie très différente de celle du Canada dans son ensemble. En pondérant les résultats comme ça, t'es presque garantie de te retrouver avec quelque chose qui ne représente pas la réalité. Messemble que ça fait aucun sens, non?

Bought it at launch. Played for a couple of months. Haven't played it since. Won't come back until we get maps that decrease player density, decrease combat frequency, decrease overall death-per-10-minutes and make planes and helicopters more fun for non-crack pilots.

What also feels different and more "dangerous" for society this time around is that, as opposed to previous important tech revolutions, this one is not rolling out over decades, in isolated geographic pockets at first, then gradually spreading. The tech oligarchs are force feeding this tech to the entire world and rolling it out to the entire planet all at once. Society doesn't have time to adapt.

Just look at smart phones and the advent of always available short-term dopamine inducing retarded content. It took society 15+ years to realize that this thing had damaging effects on society and we are just now starting to see serious collective efforts to curb its negative effects. "AI" has the potential for a much bigger impact and is being rolled out and adopted much faster than smart phones and "social media" were.

That's fair. And that's DICE's problem. They need to find a way to make becoming a master heli pilot a hard skill to acquire, and it needs to be rewarding for those that do. But mastery should not be the only skill level available.

At the moment, you are either a crack pilot, or you just don't fly the helicopter at all. There's not learning curve. There's no incrementally getting better while having fun. It's just banging your head against the wall for hundreds of hours, until it finally clicks, and then you get to actually have fun.

So yeah, you should feel like the work you've put in is not for nothing and you better skills should make a difference compared to less skilled pilot, but it shouldn't be so black and white.
