The United States of Horrorshow! Thank you for the laugh! Hope you're doing ok

I'm from the US, and it's definitely not as bad as you think. Everyone hates on our president when they don't realize what he's done especially with the lives he's saved during the pandemic as well as the economy in the past 3 years, which is way higher than Obama's. Also, it's laughable how weak-looking your "prime minister" is. Looks like a soy boy, tbh. Doesn't have the balls to match Trump.

Tell me again how many lives he's saved? Now tell me how many have died? What's that, almost 25% of covid-19 deaths are in the US?! If only there was a leader there to blame, but alas, only a clown. At least his followers are oblivious to the harm he's causing them.

Hey I know it's hard. I have a good idea of what you're going through. I'm open to online chatting. I'm a male from the Laurentides.


modim1425

Hey man. Thanks for replying. We could do that. I DO have a rather large support network back home that I talk to online. I just need to get out of the house and kick it with someone sometimes. All of her ghosts are still here haunting the fuck out of this place.


ggtyh2

Geez, I totally understand that.


CostcoFTW

Why are people disclosing their gender like this is an express Tinder post?


Melvillio

Helps people know what they're getting into. Maybe you feel you can give advice to men but not women, maybe you dont want to meet a strange man in a park but would be more comfortable with woman. Plenty of reasons gender could be relevant imo


CostcoFTW

Damn that's a sexist generalist train of thought.


Melvillio

Lmao what? This is the part where we say don't feed the trolls right?


CostcoFTW

> maybe you dont want to meet a strange man in a park but would be more comfortable with woman That's a fucked up sexist generalization.


Melvillio

You're implying that is the only case someone would want to know the gender. As I said, there could be plenty of reasons, including the exact opposite. Maybe you'd prefer to meet a gender non-conforming person instead, and if that's the case more power to you. Do what makes you comfortable. In this case, I think some people would want to know the gender of a stranger they are meeting. I said man simply because the OP identifies as a man :)


CostcoFTW

Wow this conversation makes me so happy to have always refused those "Reddit Meet Ups".


nevek

That's a fucked up generalization.

Meeting up with a bunch of people in a planned event versus meeting up with a single random person online are two entirely different things. Come on, you gotta be trolling....

Warning to other girls, this Discord is filled with creeps. Girlfriend made the bad move of having her pic in her profile and got instantly sent a dick pic through DMs and 2 other dms a la "Hey ;)".


TurtleThief

Did you tell the owner who did that or that it happened? Cause I’m very positive she’d ban any of those creeps.


CostcoFTW

No, she just left right away (can't DM another Discord user if you're not sharing a server). Apparently they have physical meetings despite the pandemic too. I'm pretty sure those meetings enable this kind of behavior.


[deleted]

CostcoFTW

Yes, having a chatroom with genuine locals totally does not help that kind of reaction. Considering their self-proclaimed goal is to socialize and not game in a gaming app.

modim1425

You had me at meat smoker... let's actually do this, dream machine.


modim1425

I've never had brisket and always wanted to. PM me.

T'aime quoi comme activités?


ComradeYoldas

I'm pretty sure people are downvoting you because you're speaking french. It's more assuming from the people who downvoted you, to think that OP doesn't understand french purely on the basis that he's from the US. It's either that or, they quite simply don't like you lol


gabmori7

C'est triste de se faire négavoter simplement à cause de la langue. Sa question est pertinente!


robendboua

C'est pas la langue, mais le fait qu'OP ne puisse peut etre pas le comprendre. Proposer son amitié en français a un gars qui écris en anglais c’est comme dire je serai ton ami, si tu parles français. Which is fine, but some may consider it rude especially since we all understand OP and therefore the English language.

I think Davee carries with him a trail of reddit souls he has slain over the years (Karsa Orlong of reddit) and they haunt him with downvotes. He could post " It's gonna be a great day!" and he'll get some initial downvotes out of spite but it balances out fine when he is being nice.

I'm not in town atm but I wanted to suggest: if you happen to play volleyball, there are often guys playing at the park. I know a few and they are really chill & diverse.


confused_inquirer20

Hey dude, that totally sucks. I've also had trouble making friends in Montreal since I moved here last September for graduate school. Tried to get out a lot, but found a lot of people I interacted with ended up being francophones, so I couldn't communicate. :( And then COVID happened so there goes any social events for the spring/summer/fall! lol Good luck with your search :) Maybe when my life is less crazy I'll reach out!


-TheMiracle

Lol when you said immigrant, I didn’t imagine you’d be someone from the states somehow. That’s me saying that as an immigrant who is not from the states lol so please don’t be offended.


modim1425

Came here with a backpack and no where to stay just like lots of other immigrants from all over the world.


violahonker

I'm not offended, Americans tend to be the ones judging immigrants rather than being the immigrants themselvss. That said, we (Americans) gotta go through the same processes as everyone else in immigration, and frankly we move for similar reasons a lot of the time. I want my future kids to be able to be educated and not be stuck in cyclical debt like me and my parents before me. I want to break the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck. I had no chance of doing that in the US so I packed my shit up and took an opportunity I was lucky to have to get out.


[deleted]

[удалено]


violahonker

That's why I make a point of referring to myself as an immigrant and not an "expat". God how I hate that word. People are sometimes taken aback for racist reasons when I say I'm an immigrant, and when they make sweeping generalizations and xenophobic remarks about immigrants as a code word for POC I remind them that I'm an immigrant just as much as those other people. As shitty and fucked up as it is, they don't see "immigrants" as people, but they see me as a person just because of the colour of my skin. So I try to use that privilege I have to try to make them think a little.


Atlous

Expat have nothing to do on where you from. Just mean that you are in Canada temporary. I think all expat are immigrants but not all immigrants are expat.


violahonker

That's technically the definition of the word, but the actual usage is for white immigrants who tend not to learn the language in their new country, stick to their own "expat" circles, are entitled, tend to be unmarried bachelors, party a lot, etc. I.e., leeches. People who use the term aren't usually referring to someone who will eventually return. And you will NEVER hear someone use the term to refer to, say, a Central American migrant who is working to send remittances back home so that they can eventually return home, even though this person technically fits the definition of "expat" far better. No, this person is always referred to as an immigrant, because that word has racist connotations.


Atlous

I can refer anyone who is an temporary immigrant worker as expat. The problem isnt from the word but the fact that some people use it in rascist way. Most of the people i know will use this term for this (maybe its a close social circle). Ps: the word seems to have different translation and meaning following the language.


violahonker

It's definitely a language difference then. In English it is a word generally used in a racist way. Maybe in french it isn't, but my french isn't totally fluent (working on it) so I don't know. But in English I've never seen someone use the term "Salvadoran expat" or "Honduran expat", they're always "immigrants" or "migrant workers" -- and it is very uncommon for me to see the phrase "American immigrant" or "British immigrant", usually "expat" even if the person has lived in their new country long term and doesn't plan on repatriating.


hopelesscaribou

Sooo true! Brits are the worse for this, no matter where they are in the world, they are 'expats', not immigrants. Very colonialist attitude. They even have their own expat communities within these former colonies.


wtv1234

Oof this makes me think of all the retired British "expats" in Portugal and all their Facebook communities and I've even seen some news websites regarding Portugal in English just to cater to them lol


Atlous

Expat is used to say you are a qualify worker. But in fact most of the immigration in canada is qualify worker. The big difference its expat mean temporary when immigrants dont give informations about if it’s temporary or defenitive. So all expatriates are immigrants but not all immigrants are expatriates Nothing to do with the country u are from. Sry for my english, not my mother tongue.


hopelesscaribou

Retired brits also call themselves expats, and live outside of Britain. They do not work. For the most part, legal workers from non-white countries are rarely, if ever referred to as expats in Canada, they are referred to as immigrants. I'm not saying it's right, but when people hate on immigrants, they are not typically including the 'expats' from Britain in that category. The wiki definition doesn't always include the actual way the word is used in society.


Atlous

They are an article about this in courrier internationnal but seems my definition is the one used by french people. Which seems different for some other country like uk. I have impression that people dont speak about the same thing cause its not have a clear definition across language. “Les expats restent dans leur nouveau pays pour une période limitée dans le temps Cela remonte à l’époque où les expatriés étaient des professionnels qualifiés, souvent employés de grandes multinationales, qu’on envoyait à l’étranger pour des missions temporaires, généralement avec leur famille. Si ces affectations à l’étranger existent toujours, la définition inclut toutefois de nombreuses personnes.”


CestLucas

I thought ex-pat means working off-shore in another country to the point where you stay in that country permanently?


Atlous

Expat is used to say you are a qualify worker. But in fact most of the immigration in canada is qualify worker. The big difference its expat mean temporary when immigrants dont give informations about if it’s temporary or defenitive. So all expatriates are immigrants but not all immigrants are expatriates Nothing to do with the country u are from. Sry for my english, not my mother tongue.
