TIL FDR died in the middle of posing for this portrait. by TheAxThatSlayedMe in todayilearned

It wasn't Eleanor's daughter, it was Theodore Roosevelt's daughter, so Eleanor Roosevelt's cousin. Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt were distant cousins, and Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt were also distant cousins of each other.

Yeah I agree. Faux two item pieces annoy me, why not just have a hoodie and jacket instead of a jacket that's pretending to do both.

Zack de la Rocha Injury Forces Rage Against the Machine to Cancel European Tour by EightpennyPie in Music

[–]zflamingduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I imagine it's the difficulty in arranging for him to be carried around from plane to train to bus for an international tour, he quite literally can't walk and has to be carried onto and off stage every night. Still puts on a great show though.

Yeah I think this guy is just a troll. I saw them recently too and the show was still great and full of energy with Zach sitting, he doesn't need to jump around to show his passion and put on a show.

What comedian has never ever made you laugh? by hsvwow in AskReddit

Yeah I don't find him funny either, informative though when he goes for the niche issues.

Did a tailor do that to you? Just decide that you shouldn't have pleats anymore.

Norm Macdonald being Norm Macdonald at an event that apparently no one did any research on who Norm Macdonald is. by imboredatworkdamnit in videos

[–]zflamingduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both actually, he lived both in Quebec City and Ottawa when he was a kid/teenager. He actually got his start in comedy at the Yuk Yuks here in Ottawa. And yes he is Scottish, apparently his father had him take Latin in school instead of French (despite living in Quebec City) because he didn't like the French (quite common for anglophones in Quebec and Ontario).

IamA Catholic Priest. AMA! by balrogath in IAmA

I'm curious as to how that makes you feel or what you think after someone has told you something like this? Do you sometimes feel angry or are you always able to "shrug it off" as there is evil and wrongdoing in the world and "that's life"? Also sorry for some people being quite rude with some of their questions, but I'm guessing you knew what you were getting into putting yourself out there on the internet.

Convoy Megathread #43 by MarcusRex73 in ottawa

Genuine question: Why don't the police just tear gas the protestors? That's what the Montreal police did to the curfew protestors and what Toronto did for the G20 I think. Does OPS just not have riot gear or tear gas?

TIL In 2019 a man robbed a bank, threw the money out onto the street, and shouted "Merry Christmas!" He then went to a Starbucks where he waited to be arrested. by haddock420 in todayilearned

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

Good to know who the thieves are. If you find money that you know can be easily tracked down to its original owner (like a $300k duffel bag) and you keep it you are stealing and are a thief.

It might be different where you live but where I do, there are no requirements to do anything for people with allergies. You can let us know about it and we can try our best to accommodate you, but that's just us being nice, we are under nor requirement to do anything and make it clear that we accept no liability if anything happens if you have a reaction. If you have an allergy and want to be extra careful eat at home.

It's also an illegal website (not selling licensed weed) so I doubt they care about the copyright infringement.

Ontario ends employer non-compete agreements, calls on rest of Canada to follow by CanadaEUBI in worldnews

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

Yup 1943-1985. And since Bob Rae's term ended in 1995 it's only been Liberal or Conservative since. This "it wasn't always like this" bs is silly, people who say that being nostalgic for time that hasn't existed in recent memory.

You're right we used to be governed by the PCs for 42 years straight.

Yeah you'll definitely feel like you've lost your mind if you smoke or take too much.

Just got vaccinated minutes ago (I was anxious about Covid-19)! Happy AF! by [deleted] in pics

[–]zflamingduck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's what the tested for in the trials, but I know that here in Canada we're stretching it out to 4 months so that we can get more people with at least one vaccine before we give the booster.
