I just wanted to give you a hat tip for having such a fun blog! Personally, I don't even study Latin (at least not directly, I do study some Romance Languages), but it just makes me so happy whenever I see your posts and I know that you are out there living your best life translating these Latin memes and having fun. Take care :-)

Multas gratias! Thank you very much!

I think it’s sort of common in the us to eat together? (At least in my area it is, i always thought everyone did too). Admittantly now that we are all older sometimes (no more than once a week) we will do eat-whenever and not together haha

yeah i noticed that christian families usually eat together, and that was the case for my family and the families i grew up around. im guessing it was the same for you too.

what i've noticed is that american non-religious families or families that have a religion that arent focused on community dont make it a priority to eat together bc it's not a part of their culture

the US has become a very individualistic society that is still influenced by its puritan founders so the american mentality tends to be "what do i need to do to get what i want done?” and “how wealthy you are determines your value”. this transfers to what each american does with their time, and more often than not, this can be seen in young people's after-school activities and their parents' jobs because those things directly affect one's success in life.

i think (emphasis on think because someone might jump at me with smth i havent thought of bc ppl are like that on this hellsite) how many activities young ppl are involved in and how much their parents work are in proportion to what each of those people wants in their life. their priorities are on being successful in the world (sports to get into a good school, work more to get more money and get promoted), and that doesn’t usually have to do with maintaining a close relationship with your family.

so then ppl schedule their own activities on their own time because they haven't set aside family time for eating. lol it may seem like im going super srs about a not that important subject but i definitely believe eating together as a family is vital to the health and happiness of a family.

of course, it seems like this usually applies most to white, non-christian (or non-practising christian) families, since the cultural backgrounds of POC like myself tend to shake things up in regards to views on the family and work/extracurricular activities

welp i wrote a lot. didnt plan on that. oh well. posting this anyway bc im too tired to edit >.<

¡hola! ¿cómo se dice "quebecois" en español? lo averigué y vi "quebequense" y "quebequés" y no sabía cual era el más común~

Yo solo he oído “quebequense”, no tenía ni idea que el otro existía :o

Pero yo lo digo como en francés, “quebecua”, jajaja ;)

chatwiththeclouds replied to your post “You guys… murder is illegal. But people who really want to kill...”

in the tags, who is saying that owning a gun is an inherently violent act? most people that are advocating for gun control are arguing for advanced background checks, mental health checks and limiting of semi-automatic weapons, especially in the mist of recent mass shootings

I’ve been running into a lot of people today who have been trying to point out a perceived inconsistency in those who advocate for outlawing abortion while also advocating for the continued legalization of firearms. 

The argument basically states that if you are trying to save lives by outlawing abortion but not by trying to outlaw guns then you are a hypocrite. But, abortion is inherently violent... gun ownership is not. So you can’t really use the same line of reasoning for both topics. Thus, my OP really only applies to abortion and not to gun control because outlawing gun ownership would be outlawing a non violent act.

oh this is 100% fair. interesting observations! i agree 100% with the “what do i need to do to get what i want done” mentality that you are talking about. the “american dream”. there’s a lot of social climbing where people put a lot of energy into extracurriculars and status at the expense of other things. I agree with you that eating together is a big part of that.

For what it’s worth, I’m white, southern and religious (from a religious family, both sides are catholic but we are practice in a protestant church) so that’s where i fit into the web in the us. your thoughts are spot on!

yeah, the american dream! lol i cant believe i forgot what it was called.

im glad you agree. haha i was worried i was completely wrong and you or someone else would get Upset™. i and my family are catholic too but we’re latinos from the southwest coast that practice in a catholic church.

now im wondering about family eating cultures from other religions and parts of the us... i wonder what other factors affect that..

lol maybe i’ll look into that more when i have time. i should be doing hwk right now 😂

hello kary~ sort of a follow up on the last anon's question about quebecois tumblr because now im curious, which social media platforms is the most common quebec? merci!

That’s a pretty good question lol! I’d say Facebook, Instagram, and twitter are the ones I see ppl using more often :)) a lot of ppl use the Facebook messenger (fb is the preferred method of communication for school projects and stuff) or their phone to chat, so we don’t use whatsapp a lot (in my experience, the ppl that have it use to chat with friends/family in other countries that do use it). Idk if there are others tho, I don’t use social media all that much 😅 but yeah, those three are the most popular!
