We’re we Here fuck We’re shit Queer up

Almost sounds like poetry

Edit : now that I think about it, “Queer up” could be a great thing to say to someone who’s been closeted for a long time. “Come on man, queer up! You can do it!”

I’m sure there are plenty of activities that you could enjoy but never thought of. Try joining a sports club that isn’t a gym, or a board games club, or a book club, anything really.

Oh we definitely have tons of tautological names for places, France has a big history of different cultures mixing and old languages merging together. What I meant is we don’t tend to add nouns to describe things, like in “X river”, “Y mountain” or even “Z fruit”.

Not sure if that’s specifically an English issue or if other language work the same way, but I do know that, in French, I would just say “le Sahara” and would only say “le désert du Sahara” if I’m talking to someone who really sucks at geography.

Same for rivers, I would just say “l’Avon” unless I suspect my interlocutor doesn’t know it’s a river, in which case I would probably simply add “you know, the river in Great Britain”

A french YouTuber (Bolchegeek) calls that the Magneto syndrome : the writers make the bad guys make actually good points when criticizing the supposed “good guys”, but then proceed to completely discredit their character by making them do something obviously evil. He argued that it’s a way to pretend like you’re making a progressive movie that questions society, while still reinforcing the status quo, and to basically say “Don’t be fooled by those radicals, they may seem convincing but they’re actually just out for blood”

Ars Technica has always been very upfront about it whenever they cover news related to reddit. It’s certainly not ideal, but Ars Technica remains a very good website for tech news

Not sure whether it means something else in English, but in french a vernissage is the first opening of an art exhibition

Hey, I’ll let you know that I’m a judgmental asshole and I happen to be french, but I don’t hate the world, only the parts that aren’t french

This is peak Lemmy humor
