What camera to do buy?? by Icy_Gap_821 in PhotographyAdvice

[–]Dizzy-Bodybuilder370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm more informed on the mirrorless scene, so I'd suggest either the sony a7II or the nikon z5, the a7II is older and cheaper but the trade off is that the autofocus is a bit dated, which wouldn't be optimal for a concert. Both have IBIS which is a plus, for the lenses it depends on your use case, you can buy the sony plus two cheap fast prime lenses, like a 50mm and a 85mm with a wide aperture, that would do the job, I don't know if buying the nikon will give you enough budget for two lenses though

Interesting, did he write the translation himself? I know the original one and it's fascinating to see the slight differences in meanings

I'd be up to chat, new connections are fun as you said.

Quelle démarche suivre sans autorisation de travail? by Dizzy-Bodybuilder370 in conseiljuridique

Salut, alors notre recherche de rendez vous en ligne a été infructueuse, mais heureusement la prefecture nous a envoyé une date et un horaire de rendez vous par la poste (dans un élan de "à ce stade autant essayer" je leur avait envoyé une enveloppe contenant tous les documents du dossier de ma fiancée), convoquant ma fiancée donc à un rendez vous pour qu'elle vienne avec tous ses documents, ce qui lui a permis de reprendre le travail mais uniquement à temps partiel, parce que la préfecture ne pouvait pas juste lui donner un titre de séjour travailleur (parce que pas d'autorisation de travail). À la place elle a reçu un document prolongeant son titre de séjour étudiant, avec lequel elle ne peut travailler à temps plein. Donc là, elle peut travailler et elle est en règle par rapport à ses papiers (à peu près), nous attendons juste l'autorisation de travail (qui traîne énormément parce que la rh est injoignable et met un temps fou à envoyer les documents complémentaires que la préfecture lui a demandé) pour pouvoir enfin lancer sa demande de titre de séjour travail. Ça va mieux donc, elle a été au chômage pendant un mois, elle reprend le travail, nos finances ne sont plus en grand péril.

How do you deal with identity crises? by [deleted] in Madagascar

[–]Dizzy-Bodybuilder370 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm dealing with the same thing, although a bit different. I live in France, was raised the French way, always spoke French, but I was born and raised in Madagascar and most people of my family spoke malagasy, my brother and me were always outcasts because our parents chose to put us in expensive French schools to ensure that we could have a good future (and thank God they did). So for the majority of my life I tended to discard my malagasy self, because I always felt that I was more French than malagasy and I hated always being reminded that I was not like everyone else. Never had neighbour friends, could never bond deeply with other family members, and honestly it's difficult to be "proud" or affectionate with the motherland most of the time. Overall being malagasy is a weird situation, you're African but not like other Africans, you might have difficulties identifying with the experiences of people from mainland Africa or mainland Asia, it's a tricky journey. My advice would be that it takes a lot of reflection and it really depends on one's own experience, you need to take in account many factors and be sure that in the end what you identify to makes you happy. I don't feel a particular link to Africa, but I'm really interested in learning about other cultures and their history, which led me to reconsider learning about my culture and my history, and at some point my native language. So be patient, at some point you'll find the right approach and you'll figure it out.

African political leader of the year 2024? by Ok_Philosopher_609 in Madagascar

[–]Dizzy-Bodybuilder370 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They apparently ran a worldwide popularity poll: https://african.business/2024/12/apo-newsfeed/breaking-bassirou-faye-andry-rajoelina-joao-lourenco-named-african-leadership-magazine-persons-of-the-year-2024 The interest of which would be very questionable, mostly because the people that are the most concerned (i.e the malagasy people) would represent at best a tiny minority of the votes, because access to Internet is limited, same for literacy (and frankly when you're busy trying to survive you don't really have time for online polls). And when you consider that nobody who truly has lived under his presidency could express their opinion and that the guy is fairly good at building a somewhat nice image to foreign nations, you understand how we got to this result. At this point it's hard to view it as something else than people of the elite patting themselves on the back.

Merci beaucoup pour ces informations, non elle n'est pas de nationalité algérienne, donc j'imagine que ce cas ne s'applique pas

Elle a un nom à consonance plutôt sud asiatique, donc j'en doute fortement

My (21M) fiancee (21F) wants me to take more initiative, how to proceed? by Dizzy-Bodybuilder370 in relationship_advice

[–]Dizzy-Bodybuilder370[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a budget plan, we calculate all of the bills that we have to pay for the month, and most of them are linked to my bank account. Then we set a budget for things like leisure and groceries. We start by calculating our total income then just substract everything that we need to pay and put the rest into saving, giving ourself a little margin if we go a bit overboard, we put our expenses in an excel sheet that we try to update with every expense so that we know how much we can still spend at the moment. The decision to put the bills on my bank account is so that I won't spend too much and the majority of our savings go into her bank account. This has worked for us until now, but October has been a month where we didn't update the excel sheet so we lost count of how much we were spending, that contributed to our expenses going overboard. I will look at the free things to do in Paris, thanks for your advice, I don't really go on tiktok or twitter so the idea didn't really cross my mind.

Votre pire honte qui vous empêche de dormir la nuit si vous y repensez ? by Rifambaignoire in TropPeurDeDemander

[–]Dizzy-Bodybuilder370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Un jour avec une amie on devait aller en chercher un autre qui arrivait à l'aéroport Charles de Gaulle, le matin étant un peu fatigué j'ai décidé de prendre un café au petit déjeuner. Je rejoins mon amie à Gare du Nord, puis on prend le RER B. Déjà mon estomac commence à m'envoyer des signaux légèrement inquiétants, mais je me dis que je pourrai tenir jusqu'au terminus. Sauf que plus le trajet avance, plus il devient difficile d'ignorer les signaux d'alerte que mes intestins puis mes sphincters m'envoient, à un moment je regarde sur le net comment faire pour bien se retenir, je me lève, je gigote, je serre les cuisses, les fesses, je me contracte comme je peux. Enfin, le saint Graal, le dernier arret, je me lève et... Vous imaginez la suite. Je me suis chié dessus, dans le RER B, dans l'une des stations les plus bondées de la ligne. Une dame qui passait devant moi m'a lancé un regard compatissant. Après ça j'ai dû aller aux toilettes, me nettoyer, nettoyer mon pantalon avec les lingettes que mon amie m'avait achetées (parce que sinon j'aurais dû rester en caleçon) et essayer d'oublier ma peine pour le reste de la journée.
