You got me! It was my inner french that seeped into my english 😄

1. France (born in it)
2. Germany: (grandparents live next door on the border. I have great memories of tasty sausages and cool public playgrounds from my youth)
3. Germany: (again) as an exchange student in middle school. I still have a seering memory that I didn’t even know what my home region name was in German (Lorraine = Löthringen)
4. Luxemburg: dad was a smoker, cigarettes were cheap there, end of story?
5. UK: went three time, in middle school, high school and with family. Best time was in high school when I boarded at this Elvis double’s. We always listened to great music and he made pancakes EVERY morning ❤️
6. Denmark: exchange student in high school. It’s a beatiful country with great history. Too bad that my pen pal/exchange student and I were both timid :[
7. Catalogna, Spain: with friends. Lasting memory is that I took some pleasure swimming again there. Wasn’t my thing since PE teacher said to my face I could’nt swim… 😬

Looking back, I’m quite privileged 😅

Poor grandma and grandpa… (totatally true though)

So communism and nazism gave birth to Palestine? Wtf!? I’m having a really big mental block…

It’s not online but at my usual bar I often get into arguments with a monarchist guy and a free-market/deregulation dude. They often tell me they’ll someday manage to make me “take the red pill”. It’s kind of annoying for them to disregard my views like that. That’s why I don’t actively try to change theirs.

You’ve got a few episodes of Love Death and Robots that really have that twilight Zone feel (and some are set in space!). That’s also the case for the pacman episode of Secret Level. This one gave me chills down my spine. 😅

Yeah… they’re already in a bad spot. But one can always dig oneself into a deeper hole.

The US won’t annex Greenland, that would basically make a pariah of them on the international scene. Like Russia there would be economic sanctions, trade deals would be broken, american assets abroad would be seized and this could include american military bases. So yeah, most likely the US governmint is gonna keep acting like a childish bully trying to drive a wedge between Greenland and Denmark. And maybe between every european nations…

But regarding the chinese government, I’m not sure we can call it communist anymore. Authoritarian, imperialist, oppressive and bellicose are more accurate qualifiers; mainly thanks to president Xi.

Nerdwriter once made a video about how Passengers could have been a horror/thriller (and a better movie) if it had been told through the point of view of Jennifer Lawrence instead of Chris Pratt’s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gksxu-yeWcU

True. I use Arch btw.

This is beyond midly infuriating, it could actually be crossposted on !workreform@lemmy.world given the insanity of it.

Wait, you can host a website on a raspberry pi !? But is it really cheaper than shared hosting, for instance? And even then, quality-wise, it cannot be that good, can it?

My technique at the pub: focus on the sudoku of the daily newspaper until I’m drunk enough to engage in conversation and be unaffected by the chaos around me. Pros: pretty good for my social life Cons: pretty bad for my liver

Physics professor: That’s not true! You can make nuclear fusion with helium-3 which doesn’t make the reactor core radioactive over time. And I think that’s cool!

No need to shame people for their spelling. You never know, the person in question might not be a native english speaker or could have dislexia.

Isn’t that the definition of taxation and redistribution of wealth?

Reninds me when I stayed in this village in a guest room, for a civic mission. My host kept talking about the “black familly” in the village. And I was like: “Do you have anything to say about them apart from their skin color?” 🙄

That man has seen Back to the Future!

If you ever try to build a public health system from the ground up in the US, don’t fall from the same mistakes we did in Europe. Namely, defunding public hospitals where most of the costly procedures happen and funding private hospitals with public money, where they mostly do low-risk profitable procedures. I could go on, but you get the irony.
