To my knowledge, not in live-action movies. Apparently, Paleozoic creatures do occur in anime.
“Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea” has a Devonian sea being formed with Devonian creatures, like Bothriolepis and Dipnorhynchus. A short film “5 centimeters per second” mentions Hallucigenia and Opabinia. And Super Sentai “Kyoryuger” has creatures called Cambrima that uses Trilobites on head, Anomalocaris on shoulders, Opabinia on arms, and Pterygotus on torso.

I wonder what’s worse. Nintendo or the OQLF (Quebec’s language police)? Both of them are pretty strict and overzealous. And have too many fans.

Why does the later have so many fans? For “overprotecting” a culture?

after a quick read about the QQLF they seem worse, since they’re actively trying to gatekeep speaking

Is there any hope of the Quebec English situation improving in the near future?

A lot of Quebecers think French needs protecting and it’s not really in danger in reality. Montreal, however, has more English speakers than any other city/region in Quebec and service there is often in English, albeit not always. This is why the Quebec governement thinks French is in danger and the OQLF is often intimidating small businesses in Montreal for providing services in English or having a “not French enough” signpost (it’s like complaining that Canadian Tire is not French enough for not being called Pneus Canadiens). On top of that, English speaking institutions like McGill, Concordia and others are often targeted by the Quebec governement. Some PQ members actually want to prevent Francophones (French speaking people) to enter English universities, which is downright against freedom. I’ve studied my whole life in French. Let me finish it in English for Christ’s sake!
What do you mean by gatekeep speaking?

Preventing french speakers from going to the “wrong kind” of school is literally francophobic/racist 
like not “imo” or anything, deciding what you can do based on language is illigal in many countries because of how messed up it is

I got a free lunch today. The place I went to did not have the right amount of change, and they said it was on the house.

How many words do you need at least to “use” all the logical fallacies (that we know of)?

Probably quite a few, really depends on ad hominem too

Could you have more fallacies than words in such a testament to that challenge?.

I doubt so, but I haven’t thought of a sentence using every fallacy yet

How many fallacies are even out there?

There’s a wikipedia article here
it would be incredibly hard to use all of these in a coherent sentence

Well what if in a bunch of close/related sentences?

I don’t know about that, but that’d be still very hard, but likely possible if you set your mind to it

I suppose such a… construct… would give some of the more knowledgable people here (like fralegend) Brain Aneurysm.

Should we make a thread to try to make the sentence?

If someone actually attempts crafting it and not just speculating about it…

And it really diminishes our freedom as students. Going to another school in another province/country is expensive. Going to Montreal everyday is less expensive.
