True.





German nouns have three genders, French have two, we have one.

No way eh.

The standard Canadian accent is closest to a midwestern-type neutral accent that newsreaders and actors in the US use. There might be some places where we do the aboot thing (maybe...

English is actually about equal parts Romantic and Germanic, with a splash of ancient Greek and the odd other word picked up from other places. It's a myth that it's closer to German than French.

I've actually never heard a Canadian say "aboot." It may be something they do in the Maritimes, but that's a long ways from where I grew up.

As for French, I learned it from a teacher who came...

btw, if you call me Francoispoop, I'll kill ya.

Francaispoop is cool.

Poop de France, even better.

Tbh, it's mostly funny because I did the same thing once myself in Quebec, then a friend corrected me.

Fran-say is how it's said.

Fran-swa is the name.

"Excusez moi, je ne parle Francais pas, parle l'Anglais sil vous plait?"

Francois is a name. You've been telling them you're not Francois lol.

Saw "Mar a Lardo" trending on twitter last nite and I have to say I can't believe it took until 2022 for someone to come up with that.

Took me a minute to get that, which was annoying.

But then it reminded me of this...

In case anyone is wondering, Brexit is still going great!

Funny because this is kind of how statistics work too. People expect it to give them definitive yes/no answers when really it's a lot of educated guessing.

I think the other woman is his mom. I have no idea why she looks so happy. I think they're both a little off-center.

I wonder what her family thinks of it.

I wouldn't care either if it was me. But I'd be surprised if anyone had asked her where she wanted to be buried and she said "wherever makes my ex-husband...

Not a legal expert, but I assume a couple of things are true:

1) It has to be a business land, not your backyard for the tax status trick to work. I don't think you can just bury grandma in your...

Nah I just picked the most ridiculous one because it's funny. But as you say, none of those are egregious, just sloppy accounting (which admiittedly he shouldn't be doing after talking up his...

Fair enough, but having the lack of self-awareness to say this, after having spent two years calling it "levelling up" when in fact they've been "levelling down" is a bit funny. I hope those red wall...

Meanwhile Starmer was late declaring a free ticket to the Kebab Awards and it's front-page news on the BBC.

Been quite the day for the Tory leadership candidates.

First Fishi Sunak bragged about cutting funding to poor urban areas to give it to wealthy Tory areas in SE England.
...

A couple of weeks ago, one of empty-headed ass kissers who stuck by Johnson while his cabinet resigned in droves got rewarded by being made a minister. She promptly made news by giving the finger to...

Theoretically, they would if they knew that given a choice between a POC and a white person, the party members would choose the latter. It'd be the ultimate "I have a black friend" gaslighting.


...

Ok I question them both. I suspect neither of them care about equality.

By having POC in the leadership race, the Tories are the "but I have a black friend, I can't be a racist" party.





...

Most of the Tory bigwig MPs are behind Truss. They usually back one candidate over because they think that one will win and they want to suck up for a job. That's what I'm hearing.

Racist would be saying he's doing it because he's a POC. His race is not at issue here, his character is.

If I point out a white person is being racist, that's not me being anti-white or judging...
