Maybe I'm biased, I'll watch anything with Patrick Stewart in it

I'm a bit thrown off by the woke label though? I can understand that for Discovery for sure... but Picard? Hmm... I mean, anyone not wanting spoilers stop reading now, but they even went so far as to show why the dirtier nature of "current day" earth might appeal more to some people when Rios decided to stay behind, etc.

Maybe I don't look deep enough into some of the messaging lol...

It's Friday the 13th.............

Western superstition.

Friday, the 13th has always been a good day for me. Off to the casinos, I go. Gulolol.

interesting. I'm reading it's because Judas was the 13th to sit at the Last Supper. fucking stories.

Im surprised chinese people (cantonese people) dont considering april 4th a bad BAD BAD HORRIBLE DAY.

P.s. i wanted license plate PK444U but apparently that's never been made.

April 4 was also the day of the Ching Ming Festival this year. :heckno::heckno:

April 4 in North America :peek:

I love how you're getting the most use of your new emote, haha.

:fuckyea:

:peek:

Maybe because "April" was an entirely Western concept until recently?

I suddenly wondered to myself... whether CivicBlues actually had/has a blue Civic... or whether the Civic he had/has gave him a poor disposition...

or whether it's even a car at all... maybe a civic duty of some sort?

Ya got me! My namesake and sour disposition is from having ride this "civic-funded" transportation every day with the plebs:

Now that we're rehashing 20 year old questions, what's with you and Great68? Are you guys the same person? Do you like 68 Mustangs or something? Or is it like "69 style" but I owe you one? :smug:

Haha, we both lived in Richmond way back when... I had a black 68 Mustang... he had a blue one... we both actually still have our cars, I'm still in Richmond but he's on the island nowadays!

I always thought Friday the 13th was considered unlucky or a doomed day because it was Friday 13 October 1307 when King Philip IV of France and Pope Clement V turned on the Knights Templar and ordered them all arrested for false crimes. The Templar's properties and assets including all foreign holdings (Templar's were considered the first "international bank") were stolen by the King. Most Knights ended up being tortured, dismembered, executed and/or burned at the stake.

Great day for a machete rampage IMO

Not quite a machete rampage but...

It's National Sea Monkey Day

Obvious ... Victoria Day long weekend. But we should really leave the Commonwealth and our colonial past. Waste of ceremonial money ... Canada Lieutenant Governor ... each province has one. Useless.

Can't leave our past. If it weren't for explorers and conquerers, we would not have the technology we have today. No cool cars, spaceships, trains, planes, you name it. If the Europeans didn't have a want or need to find new lands, riches, whathaveyou, we wouldn't be where we are today. With the bad comes the good and vice versa......... If only the way we treat each other can keep up with technologies and expansion, it'd be good. With Putin, social media, dictatorship, greedy and power hungry nut jobs, religious extremists, etcetera, we are not doing well. Evil doers using technology to do their bidding. I'm not as optimistic as Gene Roddenberry. But, can't give up. Learn from the past and make this world a better place. We can forget about Victoria Day and call it something else, if that's a step in the right direction?

If Europeans hadn't come here and taken over, someone else would have.

People are living in a pretend land if they think otherwise. That said, it would be nice to carve out a real Canadian identity... rather than this weird mishmash homage to a royal family that has nothing to do with us anymore except to smugly say they decided to let us be our own thing.

I’d rather be associated with the royal family than our neighbours to the south though. Canada is a great place to live, especially BC. Perhaps it wouldn’t be that way if things were different.

we could have easily become part of the US of A. British North America (prior to Dominion of Canada) stretched down into Oregon. Lot's of history between France, Spain, Britain, Americans, and Russia.

Russia used to belong to Russia.
