Did anyone see the National Geographic Society go full retard with the new youth gender fluidity issue of their magazine?

And Texas teaches Spanish as a mandatory course in secondary school. The difference between those examples and adding Canada to the nation is that Quebec almost exclusively uses French as their first language, unlike Louisiana or Texas.

There's also a large amount of people who speak only Creole in Louisiana, which is essentially French, nobody panders to them.

A LARGE amount of people in the US speak primarily Spanish (most of them shouldn't even be here, granted) yet no one panders to them.

If Quebec becomes a part of the US most people aren't gonna bother learning French

It's precisely because the Spanish-speaking ones shouldn't be here that we don't pander to them completely. Granted, we have a lot of official forms and paperwork that are readily provided in Spanish, but it's not the language that the government operates with. I'm not sure, so I may be speaking bullshit on this one, but I'm pretty sure that Quebec's French is prevalent enough that the territorial government there operates mostly in French. After all, French is one of the national languages there.

It gives you more time to get to the theater if you're an idiot, or if the person in front of you is an idiot.

If you're there early, just relax and try not to think about what's in the popcorn.

Lol gold is worth less than popcorn per pound

I refuse to believ that a pound of popcorn is worth over a thousand dollars without sufficient proof. I buy bulk popcorn regularly, and it's just a few dollars per pound.

We wouldn't add them as states. Just territories. It'd be like everyone speaking Spanish in Puerto Rico or Chamorro in Guam, but nobody cares because they're not real states and some people don't even know we own them. Or that Chamorro is even a real language.

Louisiana teaches primarily French as the first additional language in school.

My relatives and I were discussing this when we saw Rogue One.

It's perfectly unreasonable that we should have to pay to see a film, and then be showered with advertisements for completely unrelated products. I would understand if they were movie trailers, since those are related to the product that we purchased, and it would benefit the studios and the theater, but commercial advertising is ridiculous.

It's not as if we don't get to see movie trailers, either. We sat through forty-five minutes of both while we waited for the film to start.

Do people look for the games they want to purchase on a month-to-month basis?

IMO it's not simplistic anymore, at least from the viewpoint of someone who started with 1.7.2.

I began playing in 1.5. I'm not any sort of "veteran" or other nonsense, but it's mostly added content that's exploration- and loot-based, while not changing the main mechanics of the game. Only exception I can think of is the stuff added with that combat update.

Brexit went through, the EU is collapsing, Trump got elected, and the progressives are in their death throes.

2016 was a pretty good year. I have high hopes for 2017.
