Newfoundland, or shortened as NFLD, is an island on the east coast of Canada. It's also where I'm from. We have a very distinct identity and culture both as people who live on an island as well as people who have an insanely distinct dialect/culture. I heard an Irish comedian describe us as an island full of "that weird Irish uncle everyone has". It's not totally wrong. Certain songs also heavily trigger the Newfie pride. One of those songs is called Heave Away, often called a Newfie Anthem. There are a couple of others, such as Rant and Roar, but this one gets brought up the most.
And then a bonus song of Excursion Around The Bay, a traditional Newfie song, also performed by Great Big Sea. Includes a very short interview about the song too - https://youtu.be/Kqz6mLRYHj4
Both of those songs are VERY indicative of everything about Newfoundland. Music means a lot to us.
If they're anything like me then each character they make is focused on a different facet of themselves or something they've dealt with. The rest bleed into it in more minor 'supporting' ways while one mental illness takes the main stage.
I wouldn't say he was a celebrity. Queer as Folk wasn't enormous, at least I don't remember it being so. It was mostly for queer folk. Was a slice of life drama of a group of friends in the queer community dealing with stuff the queer community has to. It was a show for us. Mikey was real cute though and he ends up marrying a professor, a big beefy slab of a man. All the characters have a sort of single trait that can seem like bad writing at first but is just a way to focus on certain sections of the community and showing the things they have to deal with. The beefyboi has HIV and considering the show came out in the 2000s it was a big deal. I thought they did it super super well. The whole show was very good. Very sexual mind you, it was on Showtime and us gays are sluts, but it was super well done.
Here's a random scene from the show that's quite funny if you're interested. Mikey, the husband and Brian (the 'main character' of the show) - https://youtu.be/d4Y-FH0CaIY
Honestly I only made/posted this meme to annoy a Dutch buddy. I can read Dutch, weirdly, given enough time. I don't completely understand why because I sure as shit never studied it. Then again I can't remember like anything before being 20 years old so fuck knows, maybe I am dutch!
The head admin of your instance permanently banned me a year ago for no reason. I only just found out yesterday and messaged them asking what gives. They had no idea either, couldn't remember and unbanned me. Everyone else on basically any other instance had no issue. More info on what happened.
Bro. The amount of harassment I get is fucking unreal, it just happens to usually be from admins more than anyone else. But me and Picard have both had to deal with our fair share of lunatics users. Hell, I've got a straight up stalker who won't stop harassing me with new accounts and shit. We just both kept posting and ignored the douchebags. Now we get regularly pinged by people saying thanks or some other compliment my autistic ass has no idea how to process. Things change.
To an extent but this was primarily over trade and it's on me for forgetting to mention the Trade Federation and stuff. I'm not actually sure who had more money because everything always seemed painted to be fairly even. So many parties on either side were backing that the finances got really muddy really fast.
