Fun fact : the white stuff is actually their urine.

Tu apportes un très bon point en effet. Malheureusement on n’a pas un gouvernement qui aime se fier aux experts…

Ils ont tenté de garder l’heure avancée au Colorado. Ils ont arrêtés après quelques temps car les gens étaient trop déprimés de commencer leur journée de travail à la noirceur. Et ils sont plus au sud que nous donc il fait déjà clair plus tôt. Ce genre d’adaptation toucherait principalement de la main d’oeuvre qui commence leur quart de travail tôt (construction, personnel medical, restaurateurs, etc) qui se ramasseraient à faire plus d’heures de travail à la noirceur. S’ils vont de l’avant avec une telle proposition, j’espère qu’il y aura au moins un référendum sur la question.

Selon moi on devrait tout simplement retourner à ne pas changer l’heure (des études démontrent que ça a un impact non-negligeable sur la santé), mais garder l’heure normale, comme le monde a fait depuis que le cadran solaire existe…

To their defense, I think they are really self aware. The campiness and the theatrics are all intentional. It almost has a musical (the broadway kind) aspect to it. 5FDP actually believe they are hard.

The maturity of a 13 years old, but it’s listened by angry genXers and older millenials.

Some of my current favourites : Blood Incantation, Ulcerate, Worm, Civerous, The Ruins of Beverast.

Not really cause then it would be “pommes de la terre”.

For the record, some of us also use the word “patate” which is straight up the equivalent of potato.

Wow, the cognitive dissonance of calling your daughter selfish…

Je trouvais ta question intéressante et je me demandais comment je pouvais y répondre. Tu m’as servi ça sur un plateau : j’ai tellement lu de Stephen King en me disant “un moment donné je vais tomber sur un livre qui va me surprendre et qui va justifier tout le hype”.

C’est jamais arrivé. Le dernier livre j’ai essayé était Le Fléau (The Stand) que je n’ai même pas fini et depuis je n’ai plus redonné de chances à ses livres.

Sinon dans un autre ordre d’idée, en grandissant il y a tellement d’artistes musicaux que je me “forçais” à aimer. Maintenant mon critère est “est-ce que j’aime ça ?” C’est tout ce qui compte. J’ai terminé de me forcer à aimer des groupes, souvent qui sont populaires et en réalité mediocres. De toute façon je connais une quantité de bands tellement grande que ça ne me manque pas de ne pas écouter ceux que tout le monde s’enfonce dans le fond de la gorge sans réfléchir.

Oh totally not, but that’s my point. If you are going to exploit those people, at least treat them with dignity before they go in front of the camera. Even Jerry Springer had at least the decency to pay for the flight, the hotel, the limo… before treating his guests like monkeys for his show. Not that it would excuse it, but it would appear a tad more humane.

That’s the thing, I totally get why people say he’s a sociopath cause even though he’s fucking rich, he can’t even pay for an hotel room for the participants. I have a feeling their belongings were taken so they would not have to deal with people stealing each other’s stuff, which would have been wayyy less likely if people got their own room. I highly doubt it’s that much cheaper to rent a fucking stadium, buying 2000 sleeping bags, paying for portable toilets, etc. than to rent a whole cheap hotel or motel.

He really wanted those participants to be desperate for that money. “At least if I get to the end, all that crap before will be worth it”. It’s disgusting… He’s not considering those people as humans but as cattle.

This reads like another Fyre Festival. Just when I thought my opinion of him could not get lower.

Well not really. And this is not to defend this company, I hate them so much, but I just want to highlight the difference.

When you go on Ticketmaster the price shown is what you will pay. Including the taxes and whatever bullshit fees they want to add. So you know exactly what it is going to cost you. What Cineplex was doing was showing the cost of the ticket (let’s say at 15$ or whatever), but when you go checkout, now the cost is 15$+tx, PLUS the ordering online fees as well. That is what was ruled illegal.

THANK YOU ! I was feeling like I was alone with this point of view…

It is possible for someone with two X chromosomes to still be colorblind, but since this gene is recessice you have to have the mutation on both chromosomes, which makes it way more rare.

Yeah I don’t think they enjoy it that much…

And to had to that, soccer comes from the term Association Football (hence A.F.C. -> Association Football Club) but since it was too long, the British shortened it to Soccer and it was the prefered term going back as far as the late 19th century. Refering to it as football regained popularity in the UK during the 1960s. As for Gridiron Football, the first part of the name was dropped long ago as at the time all football sports were simply called “football” in North America (this includes Rugby).

And yes this joke is sooo tired, my first reaction was “oh we’re going back to making those lame repeated memes that made me quit 9gag 10 years ago”

Also, the argument of “but what about the exploited workers in the fields ?” is one of the weakest that’s always thrown around. Do they realy think that everyone working for the meat industry are all treated fairly ? All those fields of corn/soy that are used to feed the livestock, guess what, they also need workers.

Also, this is indeed not even an unpopular opinion. Vegans/vegetarians are all around some of the most hated groups of individuals. Source : https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1368430215618253

Honnestly I was a little bit disapointed cause when I went to see it to the movie theater, I was in the mood for a scary movie. Like typical horror stuff. There is some “scary” passages, but it’s no It. So don’t expect to be full on frightened or to have big jump scares.

However I think it is a movie worth checking out. The acting is on point, the images are vibrant, overall greatly directed. Obviously the movie is a big metaphor, but I went to see it completely blind and I understood pretty easily what it was all about. I’m kind of surprised by the score on IMDB because it has a 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and I just heard nice things about this movie beforehand. It brought a tear to my eye even though I am not in the same situation as the protagonist.
