And to had to that, soccer comes from the term Association Football (hence A.F.C. -> Association Football Club) but since it was too long, the British shortened it to Soccer and it was the prefered term going back as far as the late 19th century. Refering to it as football regained popularity in the UK during the 1960s. As for Gridiron Football, the first part of the name was dropped long ago as at the time all football sports were simply called "football" in North America (this includes Rugby).

And yes this joke is sooo tired, my first reaction was "oh we're going back to making those lame repeated memes that made me quit 9gag 10 years ago"

Also, the argument of "but what about the exploited workers in the fields ?" is one of the weakest that's always thrown around. Do they realy think that everyone working for the meat industry are all treated fairly ? All those fields of corn/soy that are used to feed the livestock, guess what, they also need workers.

Also, this is indeed not even an unpopular opinion. Vegans/vegetarians are all around some of the most hated groups of individuals. Source : https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1368430215618253

Honnestly I was a little bit disapointed cause when I went to see it to the movie theater, I was in the mood for a scary movie. Like typical horror stuff. There is some "scary" passages, but it's no It. So don't expect to be full on frightened or to have big jump scares.

However I think it is a movie worth checking out. The acting is on point, the images are vibrant, overall greatly directed. Obviously the movie is a big metaphor, but I went to see it completely blind and I understood pretty easily what it was all about. I'm kind of surprised by the score on IMDB because it has a 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and I just heard nice things about this movie beforehand. It brought a tear to my eye even though I am not in the same situation as the protagonist.

I don't know if OP speaks french or it's just a funny coincidence, but "pipe" is also slang for blow job.

I've been with someone who would constantly be acting in a romantic way while constantly saying there was nothing romantic and that they were not ready to be in a relationship with me. But still always wanting to spend time together, cuddling, etc. As soon as I was acting more distant or less affectionate (basically more friendly than romantic), that's when they would up a notch the affection display.

It kept me around them because I was always hoping at one point the door would be open for a relationship. When what we had (whatever it was) "officially" ended I was at some of the lowest I've been in my life. Looking back at it there was so much gaslighting, now that it's behind me, I am glad I got out of it.

I think you should tell her it's either you try to go back together or it's over for good. Being in this weird Schrodinger's couple situation never ends well, for both parties. It may hurt, but in the long run you'll get over it and it will be easier to meet new people who don't send mixed signals.

Really interesting concept you brought up, did not know that law and yes it makes perfect sense.

And I totally get your point, but it is still an issue to me considering that she wanted to keep the audience hooked as they aged. As someone put it in another comment, in the first book, Harry is eleven, it appeals to kids ~11 y.o, and so on. But, and I speak personnaly, by the fifth book it was already too disjointed for 15 y.o. me. Her books are like a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure book/episode, but without all the corny humor and the self-awarness that makes it fun.

You brought up a really good example of a fantasy world with boundaries by mentionning Tolkien. It is heavily insinuated in the LOTR books that "magic" is not "endless posibilities magic", it has more to do with special aptitudes and/or knowledge depending on the race (like elves or wizards). It's not like Gandalf can just snap a finger and transform someone into a chicken. I know it limits what you can do with your world but in the case of HP it opens the door to endless plot holes and contradictions.

Exactly, the wording is akward but the intentions are in the right place. That kind of stuff helps normalize vegan diets for most people.

Yeah I am pretty sure this is the intention of the writers. Showing yourself naked to your subordinate is not "homoerotism", it's harassment.

I've had the 2× spicy. Honnestly the reason they should be recalled is for their quantity of salt. My mouth was burning more because of that than the spiciness.

C'est sûr que oui. Je serais en fait aucunement surpris que ça existe déjà !

Félicitations pour ton admission !

Je ne suis malheureusement plus à la Poly (gradué en 2017), mais je peux te dire que ça a été l'une des expériences les plus enrichissantes de toute ma vie. Pour répondre à ta question, je ne te cacherai pas que la marche est très haute entre le cegep et l'université, particulièrement pour la Poly 😅. (Pour te donner une idée, j'ai toujours été un étudiant très "sur la moyenne"). C'est beaucoup plus une question de rester motivé plus que d'être "une bolle".

Ce que j'ai vraiment aimé par contre est que malgré la difficulté des cours, il y a vrainent un esprit de collaboration et d'entraide. Dans mon cas (j'étais en elec), on s'est rapidement bâti un petit groupe où on faisait souvent nos travaux et nos études ensemble. Honnêtement ça a grandement aidé à me motiver et me dépasser. Ça vaut vraiment la peine de tisser des liens avec les gens de son génie et ceux des autres aussi.

Je te suggère aussi de t'impliquer dans la vie étudiante. Sans nécessairement donner du temps à un comité, ne serait-ce que d'aller aux Pubs, aux 5@7, aux partys, etc. Dans mon cas ça m'a permis d'encore plus m'attacher à l'école et à me pousser à y rester malgré les moments plus durs. J'ai fait deux ans à l'UdeM avant et je peux te dire que j'ai senti un sentiment de communauté tellement plus fort à la Poly, ça motive énormément.

Bonne chance pour la rentrée, j'espère que tu aimeras ton expérience ! ;)
