Crusader Kings 3 is my favourite game like this. I wouldn't say the point is to go to war, but it's a pretty big part of the experience. Has a lot of DLC but you can definitely have a ton of fun with the base game if you don't want to commit to that.

Anyone who wears a cowboy hat with a suit and tie is an asshole in my book.

I think there are very few decisions he could make that would be more likely to trigger a massive political uprising. Fuck around and find out, I suppose.

I think this is more indicative of the historical influence of Christianity over French Canadian affairs than it is proof of modern Quebec's perception of world religions...

Christianity is still by far the predominant religion in Quebec. There are more Christians in Quebec than people who identify as non-religious.

I saw that, but I'm very skeptical it will be enforced with the same frequency as hijabs. In my experience, Quebec is obsessed with promoting it's own culture. Christianity is a big part of French Canadian culture, so I expect it will get a pass. It's very much a "rules for thee, not for me" sort of place.

If I'm wrong and it's enforced equally for everyone, that's better. I still don't think the government has any business making laws around peaceful religious expression, however.

I think this is wrong. I get that the hijab is complicated ethically, as it's expected of Muslim women. Wether or not it's consensual is debatable, sure.

I've also spoken to Muslim women who claim to be wearing it voluntarily, because it makes them feel less objectified and more comfortable in their own skin. It's also a connection to their cultural and religious background, which is important. As a non-Muslim, I don't really think I'm qualified to argue. I don't think it should be the provincial government's decision either. At the end of the day, it's a piece of cloth... What does it really hurt?

When I lived in Quebec, I saw plenty of Christian religious symbols. Will removing those be enforced as well?

I've been using Qobuz for a couple of years and I love it. Great audio quality, has 90% of any music I'm looking for, and seems to be far less morally bankrupt than many alternatives.

Welcome new users! You've made an excellent choice.

 

I'm trying to move away from buying so many things online instead of supporting local. What are some local businesses you folks suggest? Where have you had a great customer experience in the HRM?

Restaurants suggestions and that sort of thing are welcome as well, but I'm mostly interested in finding local alternatives to online stores like Amazon and big chain stores like Walmart.

 

Foggy but kind of pretty too?

Voyager has been great so far - thanks for the great app. However, one issue I run into involved using voyager on desktop. Its perfectly usable, but the browser version looks a little awkward as the layout is cantered and narrow; typical for a mobile layout.

Just wondering if there are any plans to add a dedicated desktop layout, or else to add further appearance customization so that users can edit the layout to match their needs. The official lemmy web app is completely broken for me (no idea what changed) so this change is all I'd need to become a voyager user across all devices. Thanks!
