Calling a record a vinyl is exceedingly common and accepted (although some purists will be annoyed at pluralizing "vinyl"). And buying records is more about the aesthetic of the product than the actual playback, at least for most people. Large artwork, big foldout sleeves, etc. I'd say you're right on the mark with "irrational".

I've always been a huge fan of William Petersen saying "Right there, rear end in a top hat!" in To Live and Die in LA as he draws his gun on a guy. I'm rewatching The Rock and now I'm a big fan of Nicolas Cage timidly saying "Freeze, mister!" as he pulls his gun. I feel like people can wring a lot of characterization out of what people say to the dudes they're drawing down on.

Just recorded the first episode of the podcast. I have some doubts about how it went. I don't think we prepared enough cause we pretty much just winged the whole thing. Hopefully tho, in editing it I'll be able to see what works and what doesn't and the next episode will be a lot better.

Put me on an episode. Have a good USB Mic collecting dust.

I think attributing it's creation purely to some broader perception of CD ignores that chill post subforums have been popping up for a while now. Imp Zone wasn't created because Games is too uptight, but rather that people just enjoy that style of posting. Same with Take a Hike!. Looking at it as some sort of attack is missing the point.

She is poo poo. But nowhere do I want hear Canadians say they are better then that. We can become as complacent and there are tons of people here susceptible to Neo Nazi rhetoric.

E: This poo poo really pisses me off Childhood friend (3 days apart) moved from Toronto to Milwaukee when he was 7, still there. He knows Iranian citizens who are dying in the states and none of their relatives can't visit them. Family who cannot visit, friends who are on visas who now can't go home.

poo poo even my parents may get hassled at the border cause their passport says Iran. My grandmother is Iranian in Australia supposed to come here in the summer potentially (now most of the connecting flight options are off limits). All of this is garbage.

More Trudeau drags his feet on poo poo and accomplishes nothing he promised, more we are going to wind up with either one of those rear end hats. gently caress I wish Layton was alive, he would have been PM and taken none of this.

I was so bummed when Layton died. Not just because he was a dope dude, but I knew all the momentum the NDP built up nationally would dissipate. I guess props to the Liberals for funneling that energy towards Trudeau and I had a lot of friends who were all-in with him but I just couldn't vote for him.

Not going to lie, I found Canada to be startlingly racist and Canadians are just as rude as everyone else. I'd see people ranting openly on the street about immigrants and hear poo poo like that constantly. It's not like I had never heard similar sentiments in the States, but never so brazen. And, dear god, never talk to a typical Canadian about their Native population. It's an awful, awful idea.

For context, this was 2011-2012. Obviously, now, the racists have come out of the woodwork in the US. Glass houses, I guess.

Yeah, a lot of Canadians are racist af. My father-in-law likes to start spouting Breitbart-esque word clumps about black crime and Indian chiefs "hoarding money", at which point I gently excuse myself to go sit on the toilet and play electronic Yahtzee. My husband has even seen people flying confederate flags, in Canada, which is not America.

Alberta. This is when most Canadians write it off as just Alberta being Alberta, but I spent most of my time in Calgary, a city of ~1.2 million people with a large international population. I wasn't expecting it there. In small towns, maybe, but not in a major city. I mean, I saw loving Confederate flags up there. One of them even had replaced the stars with maple leaves. I know I've mentioned that a few times in these chat threads, but it still amazes me that someone thought it was a good idea to plaster that over their truck's entire rear window.

I grew up in a city not that different from Calgary; Houston. Houston's about five times the size though and there truly are people from all over the world thanks to the oil industry presence. Same diversifying influence as Calgary, just on a larger scale. I grew up in what may be one of the most diverse counties in the US. I've always been exposed to people different from myself and I've gone on to work internationally and travel a bunch, including parts of the Middle East and Southeast Asia. I don't really know where I'm going with this, but hate just isn't in my mindset.

That's not quite what I meant, but you are correct. I spent most of my weekends in the mountains as a result. :v: I was trying to say that the prejudice I heard and encountered up there was by no means limited to small towns and, in fact, a major city with tons of international citizens was rife with it. Given my own background, I don't know, I wasn't expecting it. Especially not with the usual polite reputation of Canada. I was fresh out of college and moved up there basically sight unseen to work on applying an environmental technology to the oil sands. It was an attempt at making them much cleaner to produce, but poor management kind of killed the project.
