I’m just sad I’m too young to have ever seen that old internet, and what it was like…

Makes me more determined to try and steer the current internet back in that direction though.

Ouais c’est deux langues latines, donc ça passe bien. Je veux aussi apprende l’espagnol bientôt.

Bonne chance! Avoir un ami aide toujours.

C’est quoi tes deux premieres langues?

I’m probably going to start learning spanish again, and I feel the same way you do about french, given I’m a native french speaker.

As a native french speaker, I can say with confidence that the duolingo french course sucks and that you’re better off using something else.

I’d also recommend speaking to native speakers and watching shows in french, that’s great for learning.

Good look! Might I suggest it would look better with the pocket logo being next to the “Get off pocket” text instead of below.

Except you have to memorize all of those conversions one by one instead of just remembering 1=1000 because imperial was invented by a drunk mathematician rolling dice.

Walkability is also a thing in cities like montreal where we got 70cm of snowfall in 4 days (30 inches for you) last winter, so kindly stop using your american weather as an excuse.

I was hoping it would be obvious enough for me to not have to explicitly point it out, guess not.

	 		Hey! I noticed you used an emoji. 		 		 	

I don’t know if you’re new here, so I’ll let you off the hook this time. Using emojis is frowned upon here on this great site, and for good reason. Instagram normies often use them, and you don’t want to be a normie, do you?

If I catch you using an emoji in the future, I’ll be forced to issue a downvote to your comment. Why should you care, you may ask? Well to begin, you will lose karma on your account, which is a useful social status tool and also a way to show others you know your way around Reddit Lemmy.

If you were to continue the use of emojis, I would be forced to privately message you about your slip-up. Any further offenses past that would leave me no other option than to report your account. I don’t think I have to explain why you don’t want that.

But anyways, no harm done yet! Follow these simple rules and you’ll enjoy your future on Reddit Lemmy! Have a blessed (and hopefully emoji-free) day, stranger.

New brunswick (canadian province near maine) here, it’s also called a weed whacker (and sometimes weed eater)

It’s closed for three months, and when I went again yesterday it was just as busy. Where’d you get that it was part of an art festival?

Oh, the humanity!

The argument is that people won’t go to the street if they can’t park, this is a stupid argument, especially in Montreal

Ouais, c’est dommage qu’il y ait encore beaucoup de gens contre ce genre de projet, par contre, je suis heureux qu’il y ait quand même de plus en plus de routes qui sont bloquées aux voitures chaque année !

TO=Toronto?

Looks great!

The borough this street is in and the other ones around are completely covered in bike lanes (and bikeshare stations!), the metro has multiple stations not too far with bus connections to the street next to this one. So i wouldn’t say anyone needs to take the car there.

Oh, also, these pictures aren’t from the downtown, they’re from a residential area, so the shopping streets are surrounded by quiet residential streets, so even if all the shopping streets like this were closed to cars you could still get around/near the streets by car pretty well.

I definitely agree trying to drive in areas like these kinda sucks anyways, It’s just not worth it.

TLDR: I agree with you

edit: as an example, I took this pic on a walk yesterday.

Funnily enough, the closing of the roads has happened enough and is accepted enough that they can’t really argue that in montreal anymore.

Now they argue that it’s bad because it drives up shop rents on streets because demand to start stores on those roads go up 🤦.

For sure! I hope they close it year-round so they can put more permanent things like water fountains and trees on the road.

J’ai grandi dans une province bilingue au canada, mais la raison que j’ai préféré l’anglais, surtout jeune, c’était l’internet. Je comprends bien ça
