Yeah, 'climate change' is an example of communist (or even Babylonian) magic. It forces everybody to say 'well look, climate is always changing but...', and the audience only really hears the first part.
Same thing with 'racism etc'... "Hey, I'm not racist but... Blacks...". "I have no problem with gays but...."
In all cases you're forced to reinforce the problem before talking about it.
You really can't make friends after age 40 or so. You can make buddies -- maybe, but friendship is virtually impossible.
Remember, all of your friends from your youth shared intense bonding experiences with you. But by 40 you've already experienced most of what life has to offer. Anything new is just window-dressing.
Much as we rightfully mock 'cat lady' chicks, there's going to be a massive male loneliness crisis in the coming years. It doesn't help that manly stuff like the gym is so pozzed/feminized.
In Quebec? Really?
Wow, in the Canada of my youth the only thing that could break through our natural politeness was littering.
Even now, living in a country where littering is expected, I have to give my garbage to a friend to litter for me. I usually just keep in on me until it can be properly disposed of.
Oh stop. Indian food is awesome, as are most of the famous ethnic cuisines (Thai, French, Italian, Tex-Mex etc).
But, in the words of Rowan Atkinson... we have the recipes (1:20)
The French don't often get their act together, but when they do they're generally the best in the world at whatever they want. Unfortunately, they usually want to do philosophy, pure math and love-triangle films.
Abd Al Malik has an album called 'Dante'. He used Jacques Brel's pianist as accompaniment. For a long time that was the only 'hip-hop' I knew, so I really thought of the genre as an overwhelmingly sophisticated re-imagining of white music (so to speak).
Then I discovered the 'nigga-nigga-bitch-y'all' hip-hop which... you know... has its charms too.
Unfortunately, French music is heavily bound-up with lyrics. Basically, the best lyricist in English, be it Dylan or Prine, is basically average in French. French music, though is a little monomaniacal.
But falling into the web of the French lyrics to a song is so comfortable...
Ohh... Okay. Because I tried to watch it and found her to be an insufferable feminist.
If I start with season 2 will I have missed much?
