It’s not about knowing. It’s about appreciating.

Not if you want that thing that everyone is on about. Don’t you want to be in with the crowd?! /s

You think I wait for holidays to be unavailable? :,D

One of the first Irish guys I met in Ireland was the son of French teacher. He had been born while she was working in Africa (I forget which country) and so spoke absolutely fluent French, but with the thickest of African accents. Chatting with him was a delight, but also a constant struggle between my respect for him and complete hilarity.

The “Great Elon Musk”? This is a meme, right? Anon is at it again?

I’m guessing the joke is three big guys trying to enter that tiny door at the same time? (sorry, I’m only vaguely familiar with the term “galoot”)

“Hey guys, I think this PC thing might not be a fad after all!”

My auntie has done the opposite for fucking years : she’ll come visit her mum and leave with some knicknacks she’s had her eye on from a previous visit. My mum is absolutely fuming about it. She absolutely does not need anything, but just the principle of her sister being such a fucking vulture…

Ireland is the only place where pubs are actual genuine places to meet and chat with strangers. And even then it can be difficult. Came back to France after 13 years and I was just flabbergasted at the difference. Everyone is out with their little group and no one seems to talk with anyone outside that little sphere. Only spot where it’s socially acceptable to engage strangers is the counter itself and that’s about it; and if you do it feels like you’re a freak, honestly. I tried a few times to just meet people that way, and gave up.

Only way that worked for me was joining a hobby or sport or some other group like that. Volleyball got me a job within like two weeks of joining! Couchsurfing got me great friends, girlfriends and eventually my wife.

Aww, no hate, it’s still a wholesome sight. You guys do you!

“Listen, I have gamer friends! Heck, my best friend is a gamer! I understand you. You can totally trust me!”

You can’t really mistake plane steering vs actual turbulence though. But it’s a funny idea, for sure.

The cringe is palpable. These might be bigots but even then I feel sorry for whoever has to be next to such a clusterfuck in person. For a moment. The I remember these people want to elect him and I feel better about their suffering. May it open their fucking eyes.

By getting on a very select list.

He ever said he wanted to fix anything? I thought he just wanted to be in power so he can grab more pussy.

Funniest to me in this kind of debate is having my N+1 manage us from across the country, having two team members in another town, and somehow, my ass being at home 15km from the office makes any difference at all to the daily life of the team? It doesn’t. My actual manager, the dude giving us our marching orders, doesn’t care. Shit, our N+1 doesn’t care either, since he’s almost always remote himself!

Only people I’ve seen actually care seem to be HR, for whatever reason.

I don’t even get how any company with several sites has anything to stand on. Makes no fucking sense.

But that’s something I don’t actually understand, since real estate would fall under the sunk cost fallacy. Ie, if you’ve invested in real estate, the cost is spent already, right? Whether someone comes in that building is irrelevant. The costs spent to maintain, heat, clean, power the buildings, on the other hand… It’s just not really obvious to me. Seems like fewer people would cost cheaper, no?

武昌？Is this an attempt at rehabilitating Wuhan’s image internationally? Because that sounds like a good plan, haha!

“they made good stuff in horrendous conditions. Horrendous conditions must be the cause!” You sound as stupid as a troll.

Funniest thing for me as a bilingual French is people butcheringpronouncing French words like hors d’oeuvre or whatever. I mean it’s funny but okay, that’s both no big deal and you can always educate someone and give them the real French pronunciation if they absolutely wanna sound posh.

But then I’m always so torn when somebody has a clearly French name but again, their pronunciation is atrocious. Like, I try to just ignore it, but sometimes I can just imagine myself jumping at them and screaming how they are pronouncing it wrooooooong, hahaha!
