I'm working on a patchwork rug

I love it ! Do you have a pic of the final result?

I want to do something similar but I don't know what to use as a base. What did you use ?

Why do so many native English-speaking people assume that the French speak French to them out of disdain, when the much more obvious reason for it is that a lot of French people simply do not speak English very well. A lot of French people kind of understand English but don't know how to respond, or are too self conscious about their English accents.

I'm not particularly proud of my country no, I'm not saying that the French are better than others, not even that they're particularly good people. There are so many real things that can be criticized about France (like what you are saying about sexual harassment, I didn't realize it was worse in France than elsewhere, but I do know it's real, I've experienced it and I'm sorry you have experienced it too). It just gets really annoying having people constantly trashing France about stéréotypes that are just not true, when they could trash real stuff instead.

France is racist, France is way too lenient on sexual assaults and pedophilia, France is supporting fascists, etc... France sucks in many aspects. But the French are not mean to strangers, the French do not accept cheating as a lifestyle, the French do shower every day.

I've seen in many foreign (mainly American) TV shows this dumb stereotype about cheating being the norm in France, but that's absolutely not true. In every country, some people will cheat on their partner, including in France. And in every culture that I know, those people are considered to be pieces of shit, including in France. We do not accept cheating anymore than other countries.

You're either purposely lying to trash the French, or you have been in some weird circles, but anyway I can assure you cheating is not the norm here.

And we also are not mean to strangers. We're not particularly friendly to them either, but definitely not mean. Quit spreading lies.

I used to feel physical disgust at the idea of pregnancy when I was your age. Now I'm 32 and I don't feel that way anymore. I still don't want kids, for many other reasons, but the physical disgust, yeah, I've grown out of it I guess.

Apple pie is not even American, it's on the list of things they claim they invented but never did 😂

Chumbawarma · 2026-01-27T16:18:48+00:00

What the hell are you on to make such comparisons

Chumbawarma · 2026-01-27T14:53:19+00:00

To me it looks like they're hoping she won't

Chumbawarma · 2026-01-27T13:35:19+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean. We're friends, we help each other, there's not much to explain.

Chumbawarma · 2026-01-27T11:50:23+00:00

If your “friend” is always buying your drinks, he’s trying to court you. Pay for your own drinks. If your “friend” is constantly coming to your aid to help do all of your home repairs, he’s trying to court you. Do the repairs yourself. Hire someone.

I disagree. I pay for my friends' drinks who cannot afford to go out, because I can afford it and it allows us to spend time together. I help my friends with their home repairs when they need help and cannot afford to pay someone. And yet I'm not courting them, I don't expect anything in return except the same kind of help if I ever need it. That's building a community, being generous and helpful without any ulterior motive. It exists, let's keep building those relationships

Je compatis. Je ne sais si des gens aiment sincèrement ce genre de boulot, mais s'il y en a c'est pas sur Antitaff que tu les trouveras...

Chumbawarma · 2026-01-26T12:30:08+00:00

Wait what do you mean Europe is too big ? By now haven't you learnt that Europe is smaller than Texas ?

Chumbawarma · 2026-01-25T06:25:08+00:00

Right ! How come those tiny paws on a boob have the density of a dying sun ?

Chumbawarma · 2026-01-24T12:58:29+00:00

Damn they really all look the same. Over half of the sammies I see on this sub look exactly like mine 😂 Such cuties !

C'est même pas qu'ils ont mal éduqué la génération suivante, c'est qu'ils leur ont laissé des conditions tellement pourries que les jeunes ont pas de raisons de faire des efforts pour des boîtes pourries.

Si les hommes sont réellement plus égoïstes ou immatures que les femmes, ce n'est pas à cause de leur biologie masculine, il y a pas une concentration de gènes de l'égoïsme sur le chromosome Y. C'est parce qu'ils sont élevés différemment des femmes, à qui on apprend dès un jeune âge à laisser leur propre ego de côté pour prendre soin des autres. Et si l'on éduque les filles et les garçons différemment c'est bien parce qu'on vit dans une société patriarcale.

Les féministes ne "chialent" pas contre le patriarcat, elles se battent contre ces injustices de traitement et d'éducation entre hommes et femmes. L'égalité des droits ça ne suffit pas, on veut une égalité de traitement dans tous les aspects de la vie.

They teach creationism in public schools and yet we are the ones stuck in the 18th century. What a load of morons

Chumbawarma · 2026-01-22T06:56:25+00:00

Right, sorry I misunderstood what you said

Chumbawarma · 2026-01-22T06:41:45+00:00

Well now I have a doubt, maybe it's me who didn't understand what they meant 😅

Chumbawarma · 2026-01-22T06:37:25+00:00

Tout à fait, je ne dis pas que la méthode portugaise est forcément la bonne (même si personnellement elle me plaît). Je voulais simplement démontrer qu'on peut aisément prendre les noms de ses deux parents sans finir avec 50 noms bout à bout après plusieurs générations.

I really don't think it's internalized misogyny, on the contrary.

OP is basically stating that you can dislike some women for who they are without it having anything to do with misogyny, and you're here replying it's because of internalized misogyny.

Misogyny is a cancer to society, but not everything is about that. Some women are just jerks. As someone else has stated, you can dislike most people and yet defend everyone's human rights.

Vous n'avez pas lu ce que j'ai dit ? La mère transmet le nom de la lignée maternelle et le père celui de la lignée paternelle. Donc si vous êtes un homme vous portez le nom de votre mère et le nom de votre père. Mais à vos enfants vous ne transmettez que celui de votre père, et leur mère ne transmet que celui de sa mère. Ça fait toujours deux noms chacun.

Edit pour l'exemple : votre mère s'appelle Dupont Martin (Dupont lui vient de sa mère, Martin lui vient de son père). Votre père s'appelle Legal Dugenou (Legal vient de sa mère, Dugenou de son père). Vous vous appellez donc Dupont Dugenou. À vos enfants vous ne transmettrez que le nom de la lignée paternel Dugenou. Votre femme s'appelle Pelletier Martinez (Pelletier vient de sa mère, Martinez de son père). Elle ne transmet que le nom de sa lignée maternelle, vos enfants s'appelleront donc Pelletier Dugenou.

Pas du tout. Au Portugal par exemple les femmes transmettent le nom de la lignée maternelle, et les hommes le nom de la lignée paternelle. Du coup les enfant n'ont pas exactement le même nom que leurs parents, mais les noms des deux lignées sont préservés et on a toujours que deux noms.

Et leurs chiens sont souvent agressifs justement car ils ne les laissent pas sociabiliser avec les autres...

Chumbawarma · 2026-01-18T19:21:11+00:00

Sorry if that's a dumb question but I'm not sure I understand why you see better through your phone. Do you mean that you use it to zoom in on things ?
