Anyone aware of where i could find information on Gaelic spoken in manitoba? I heard that much of the south of the province was mainly Gaelic speaking until the mid nineteenth century.
Any help is appreciated, tapadh leibh.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
I’ve had this thought rattling around in my head for a while: When Francis Fukuyama wrote that we had reached The End Of History, is it possible that he wasn’t speaking figuratively? What is the relationship between the current wave of social and political thought, identity politics on one hand and Neoliberalism on the other, and history?
I keep thinking back to one of the first courses I ever took, The Historian’s Craft, which fundamentally changed how I see the world.
This class was breathtaking in its simplicity. Over two semesters we were asked to come to grips with the idea introduced in the first 10 minutes of the first lecture:
There is no such thing as Periodization, or at least not as we learned it in school. The Battle of Hastings did take place on October 14, 1066, true, but it is impossible to understand the meaning of the battle if you only look at that date.
Events may happen at discrete times and places, but their causes and effects form a vast interconnected web. At its simplest it means that studying the Battle of Hastings may very well lead you to study the evolution of Anglo-Saxon and Norman society, early medieval law, which would lead to late Roman law, the agriculture and climate of England in the 10th and 11th centuries, and on and on. At a certain point in a History education writing a paper becomes less about what to put in than what to leave out.
Reading Albion’s Seed and People of the Abyss provide a way to see how deep the continuity in the heart of our society is and how deep the divisions run.
American culture war, expressed as conflict between enlightened coastal liberals and the people of the interior did not arise spontaneously with attitudes towards trans athletes, gay marriage, or even the abolition of slavery. The specific issues changed, but the opposing sides coalesced in East Anglia and Ulster and the Scottish Marches hundreds of years before.
Canadian culture war, recently Green-Liberal (and sadly some NDP) “Laurentians” plus Vancouver versus everybody else, did not start with official Multiculturalism or Asian, African and Caribbean immigration after the 1960’s. The culture of the mostly Norman Frenchmen who went to New France and Scots who went to British North America, and the interactions between both as well as the Anglican English, Native American

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
