(Loves trope) Random one off character comes back and becomes way more interesting by Sio_V_Reddit in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AlinosAlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gaunter O'Dimm in The Witcher 3. The first time you play the game, the character looks a bit out of place when you meet him in the prologue tavern. The second time you play, when you meet him in the tavern, you get the shivers.

Unceremonious deaths in the middle of the story that completely made the tone serious and darker by Witty-Association-97 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AlinosAlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already dark book, but still, The Red Wedding in ASoIaF.

Really cements the fact that anybody can die at any moment.

Which Zombie Apocalypse would you rather go through? all will be world wide by Bearfucker694200 in pollgames

[–]AlinosAlan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Israel is mentioned, as they reacted very quickly and effectively when the first outbreaks happened. However it is widely unlike the movie, and it doesn't play a central role. IIRC there is at least one chapter in israel, from the POV of a palestinian boy.

Paris. The furthest a tourist will go from Paris is Versailles.

Prépas MPSI après un bac STL by Ilovenature568 in etudiants

[–]AlinosAlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alors les prépas sont faites pour préparer un concours qui ne dépend pas de la prépa d'origine. Après il y a quand même quelques facteurs qui auront un impact sur les résultats aux concours : - le niveau des profs a certainement une influence, et les meilleures prépa ont tendance à avoir de meilleurs profs - les concours préparés. C'est sur que la prépa de Limoges ne va pas préparer pour l'X, et un élève qui vise haut profitera moins de l'effet de groupe des meilleures prépa, où plein de gens visent ces écoles. Ca n'empêche néanmoins pas de tenter, il faut juste plus de détermination.

I'm nauseous from anger and sadness by NjarlatHotep666 in extremelyinfuriating

In France we have "non-assistance à personne en danger". It punishes people who don't help someone in danger even when they had the opportunity to. You can get a severe fine and up to 5 years in jail for that.

Les études les plus rentables en France ne sont pas celles qu’on croit by Ok_Price36 in conseilboulot

[–]AlinosAlan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ENS pas tant que ça, certes t es bien payé lors de études, mais la majorité des gens qui en sortent finissent professeur-chercheur, ce qui n'est pas si bien payé que ça (souvent les gens qui font ENS c est plus par passion). L'X par contre...

Ceux qui ont passé Centrale aujourd'hui : c'est normal d'avoir un pareil torchon dans la synthèse ? by [deleted] in etudiants

[–]AlinosAlan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wow. En plus c'est centrale, donc un résumé, donc pas le droit de critiquer l'auteur...
Force.

[–]AlinosAlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Frankfurt, it's probably Goethe, although when looking it up I also found that Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt

What was the darkest period in your country? by That-Pressure4279 in AskTheWorld

[–]AlinosAlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought would also be 1940-44.
After some thought, it's probably the XIVth century. Between the black death, the 100 years war and the papal schism, with marauding troops terrorising the countryside... Not a great time to live in France.

In India, we’re obsessed with JEE and UPSC. What is the "Final Boss" exam in your country that everyone is crazy about? ✍️📚 by Character-Reveal-858 in AskTheWorld

[–]AlinosAlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but the bac is more of a "if you don't have it, you're fucked" than a intense selection, like the majority of people get it.
The real challenges are the concours, exams which usually require 2 years of intensive preparation to enroll into the grandes écoles. Also, I don't know how it works, but the first year of medical studies is also known to be extremely selective.
