No, disappearing in a sea of anglophones would be something like making all arms of government communicate in English, making it illegal to access non-English sites the government has after six months, forcing companies to alter signage at their own cost so it’s only in English, declaring non-English speakers and enemy to English-speaking culture, and going out of their way to make non-English documents unavailable unless you want to pay extra for translation services. You know, like Bill 96 is doing for French.

No one cares if Legault prefers French. We care that he wants to strip existing things just to make French the only option.

My dog can barely walk down stairs. Up is fine, down is terrifying. He also has a way of sitting on the couch that makes him look like a noble passing judgment on the peasants beneath him.

Nier Replicant is a remake of Nier, which came out in 2010. Nier Automata is a sequel to that 2010 game.

Serious answer, I’m not sure why someone would run a VM to run just a container inside the VM, aside from the VM providing volumes (directories) to the VM. That said, VMs are perfectly capable of running containers, and can run multiple containers without issue. For work, our Gitlab instance has runners that are VMs that just run containers.

Fun answer, have you heard of Docker in Docker?

I get that you’re trying to say that the NDP was able to do something, but there’s no evidence they were consulted on it. Given that it lasted less than a day before the strike was stopped, it was probably something the government didn’t discuss long.

The action was taken by a cabinet member to order the Canadian Industrial Relations Board to step in. The CIRB isn’t controlled by any party. Singh came out with a statement that condemns the move, and says it signals that any federally-regulated field doesn’t have to negotiate with workers in good faith. I don’t know where you heard that any party has the ability to stop this other than the party who the current Minister of Labour belongs to, but no action was taken that needed to pass the House.

There’s a couple of odd vids that Adult Swim has put out from Alan Resnick, like May I Enter Please? and Unedited Footage of a Bear. There’s one vid that’s just as weird as them called This House Has People In It, but the notable thing is this 12-minute video has a whole ARG behind it, enough to fill a video explaining the lore for over an hour and a half.

Co-ops have been shown to be less likely to fail than traditional businesses in their first ten years. The article argues that if Canada spent $1b on helping workers to purchase businesses from retiring entrepreneurs, it would drastically raise the wealth of the poorest citizens and allow for more stable businesses.

Even with the added costs of owning the home and upkeep, it’s only equivalent or just above rent, and that’s with the condo association fees and insurance. Even while renting I was stuck paying for utilities. And I’m highly aware that the roof needs replacing, given that we’ve got to replace ours within 5 years.

But if your point is “owning a home is more expensive than renting when you factor in all extra costs,” I want to again point out that most people are barely able to stay afloat. His point was that anyone can buy a house. Mine is that the money he thinks grows on trees literally does not exist for the majority of people.

I’m lucky enough to have been financially able to buy a home. I had help making the down payment, but we’ve now got a 30 year mortgage. My monthly payments are less than what I was paying for rent, less than the average rent in the city by almost a third. I got this place with two above-average incomes, and had the good fortune to get it during the COVID housing and interest rate dip, and I still needed extra help.

If someone is stuck with renting, they’re likely paying more than they would for a mortgage. They can’t save up the money because they’re already lagging behind, and the housing market isn’t coming down in price, and wages absolutely aren’t keeping pace. No one is saying a house would “lock them down,” they’re pointing out they can never afford it because they can’t even come up with the money to show the bank they can save because they’re already paying above the potential mortgage payments every month.

But you’re saying they won’t, not can’t, so what should they do to come up with the money? Start selling kidneys? 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and that same link shows 71% have less than $2000 in their savings. So where exactly are people supposed to shit out your hypothetical $30,000?

It’s cheating since it’s already been done, but Edgar Wright expanded Mint Royale - Blue Song into Baby Driver.

In case you didn’t know, that’s actually a sequel to their other video The Stampede.

Long Live by Atreyu, though it feels kind of like cheating. They went on hiatus after leaning toward more casual songs with the two albums before, and came back five years later with an excellent album that made people think they were back to their roots. And then they started trending towards the more popular stuff again.

I could definitely see that. I heavily disagree with you on the self-titled album just being okay, but as for a creative peak, it kind of feels like they’ve been phoning it in after Nightmare. There’s excellent songs on all the albums, but Nightmare was the last one where it felt that the majority of the tracks were ones where you really didn’t want to skip.

Wow, I entirely forgot that Devour existed until just now. It blew my teenage mind when I first heard it. I also forgot how much I hated that every single store seemed to be playing The Crow and the Butterfly when you walked in.

I chose an example I know of that ensures language services are available for its people. If you want to discuss the overall content of my comment instead of a minor aspect of it, feel free. If not, I think we’re done.

It’s not though. None of those countries are explicitly banning government communication in other languages, and removing other services that have been in place. None of those countries are going out of their way to say to businesses “If you don’t communicate in the language of our choice, you’ll be required to pay us money.”

Coming from the United States, services were often offered in Spanish because it was an uncommon language, but still prevalent enough that people spoke it regularly. Spanish isn’t an official language of the US, but they recognized the need to serve their people better and took steps to do this. Citizens might be assholes who would say something like “This is America, speak American,” but the government at least made the effort to help. Quebec is echoing those citizens, while saying their own heritage is so fragile that if they have to serve their populace better that it will disappear. I can’t imagine any of those other countries you mentioned are so thin-skinned.

I need to file an official request to be served in English with businesses that are serving me paperwork since the bill was passed. This isn’t because they can’t serve me in English. Previously, they had been without issue. These official requests are cover-your-ass statements so they don’t get in trouble when using English versions.

Additionally, the only language you can get certain things like birth certificates, wedding certificates, power of attorney, etc. is French. Need an English version? You’ll need to pay for a translator.

Additionally, even if I wanted to access any government services in English, I need to lie. I don’t speak fluent French, but have been here for more than 6 months, so technically, none of those English-provided services are legally accessible to me. If I want to find out what forms I need, or get information on government services, according to bill 96 I better learn French right now or stay ignorant.

And this is just the hassle it’s caused me. Small businesses have to report headcounts of how many people don’t speak fluent French. Signage needs to be put up by next year that’s compliant with the need to be “visibly French dominant.” Failure to comply means fines.

I don’t care what the official language of Quebec is. I don’t care if the government wants to devote holidays and school time to teaching about French history. This doesn’t affect me, and it’s educational and helps keep Quebecois heritage alive.

I care that, because French isn’t my first language, I’m made to feel like a second-class citizen for asking for service not in French. I care that government services deny accessibility because they’re speaking a different language. I care that businesses will have to jump through even more hoops to do business in Quebec, not because of product safety or consumer protection, and not even because of lack of accessibility, but instead because it’s just not a language the government prefers. I got my citizenship last year, and I’m glad I’m a Canadian. But Quebec’s government sure as shit doesn’t want me living there.

Treasure Planet has solar sails used as the energy source for propulsion for ships.

Currently it’s Electric Callboy, namely We’ve Got the Moves and Hypa Hypa.
