better off moving to Québec. enables a more passive approach

how so?

Tabarnak de câlice de ostie! Most of their swearing is just references to Catholic paraphernalia.

My wife is fond of swearing profusely in Québécois and it amused me how detailed this wikipedia entry was when I looked it up. Apparently, it was used to the fullest extent by her father recently in response to a broken toilet.

only meant it in tongue-in-cheek jest. the "gros mots" in Québécois french are firmly rooted in the culture and liberally applied. though I guess the same could be said about any language's swear words now that I'm thinking it out loud

I've been watching the Québécois version of Taskmaster with community-made subtitles and I love how the subtitle writers have included brief idiomatic explanations for the swearing that is constantly peppered into the dialogue.

Hahh nice, appreciate the elaboration!

author reads like an LLM. I'm content chalking this up to AI-generated psychosis

agreed, an endless mode would be nice. perhaps it's not implemented by-design to keep us coming back - it's certainly going to work on me. opening the game in a new private tab will let you make another attempt :)

leave it to hackernews to debate the semantics of figures of speech

"this is becoming more mainstream, therefore it is correct" is arguably the foundation of analyzing any market trend

interpretation of the meaning of correct is left as an exercise to the reader

something the author doesn't point out is new development in Montreal. you can see the patch of green to the east of the Montreal housing map where Griffontown and North Verdun (the more recently developed areas of the city) are moving towards condo style housing. rent prices have been trending higher too, but I suppose you could say that about the rest of the country too.

not criticizing the post, and it's one of my favourite cities to live. but the problems are coming here too.

So the problem is the new development or what? Aren't more people people require more hosing? Or you have something different in mind by ' the problems are coming here too'?

The previous mayors allowed areas to be rezoned to dense residential without investing in public infrastructure so you end up with neighborhoods full of condo towers with no schools or hospitals and very little public transit.

I think you mean little burgundy, north Verdun is full of older triplexes. You're right though, the previous two mayors really screwed up the new developments around Griffintown, Lachine's first avenue and the Children's Square. I'm also not very hopeful about the future RoyalMount project even though that's technically not part of the city of Montreal.

it's true though, everything you can consume has an effect on you not unlike pharmaceuticals. we just classify them differently. and as a corollary, anyone that can make money off of that effect, will
