  • Je trouvais ta question intéressante et je me demandais comment je pouvais y répondre. Tu m’as servi ça sur un plateau : j’ai tellement lu de Stephen King en me disant “un moment donné je vais tomber sur un livre qui va me surprendre et qui va justifier tout le hype”.

    C’est jamais arrivé. Le dernier livre j’ai essayé était Le Fléau (The Stand) que je n’ai même pas fini et depuis je n’ai plus redonné de chances à ses livres.

    Sinon dans un autre ordre d’idée, en grandissant il y a tellement d’artistes musicaux que je me “forçais” à aimer. Maintenant mon critère est “est-ce que j’aime ça ?” C’est tout ce qui compte. J’ai terminé de me forcer à aimer des groupes, souvent qui sont populaires et en réalité mediocres. De toute façon je connais une quantité de bands tellement grande que ça ne me manque pas de ne pas écouter ceux que tout le monde s’enfonce dans le fond de la gorge sans réfléchir.

  • That’s the thing, I totally get why people say he’s a sociopath cause even though he’s fucking rich, he can’t even pay for an hotel room for the participants. I have a feeling their belongings were taken so they would not have to deal with people stealing each other’s stuff, which would have been wayyy less likely if people got their own room. I highly doubt it’s that much cheaper to rent a fucking stadium, buying 2000 sleeping bags, paying for portable toilets, etc. than to rent a whole cheap hotel or motel.

    He really wanted those participants to be desperate for that money. “At least if I get to the end, all that crap before will be worth it”. It’s disgusting… He’s not considering those people as humans but as cattle.



  • Well not really. And this is not to defend this company, I hate them so much, but I just want to highlight the difference.

    When you go on Ticketmaster the price shown is what you will pay. Including the taxes and whatever bullshit fees they want to add. So you know exactly what it is going to cost you. What Cineplex was doing was showing the cost of the ticket (let’s say at 15$ or whatever), but when you go checkout, now the cost is 15$+tx, PLUS the ordering online fees as well. That is what was ruled illegal.








  • I’ve been with someone who would constantly be acting in a romantic way while constantly saying there was nothing romantic and that they were not ready to be in a relationship with me. But still always wanting to spend time together, cuddling, etc. As soon as I was acting more distant or less affectionate (basically more friendly than romantic), that’s when they would up a notch the affection display.

    It kept me around them because I was always hoping at one point the door would be open for a relationship. When what we had (whatever it was) “officially” ended I was at some of the lowest I’ve been in my life. Looking back at it there was so much gaslighting, now that it’s behind me, I am glad I got out of it.

    I think you should tell her it’s either you try to go back together or it’s over for good. Being in this weird Schrodinger’s couple situation never ends well, for both parties. It may hurt, but in the long run you’ll get over it and it will be easier to meet new people who don’t send mixed signals.



  • From what I know, jam is what you described as the heterogenous fruit preserve. It’a basically fruits roughly choped, sugar and pectine.

    Jelly is kinda the same thing, but instead of using whole fruits, you use juice (with sugar and pectine).

    Jell-o is generally artificially flavored gelatine (which comes from animal bones).

    If I’m not mistaken, in Canada there are laws specifying what can be labeled as jam and jelly, like sugar concentration and stuff like that.
