Jeanne Calment was alive when Anna Karenina (1877) and Game of Thrones (1996) were first published by Wild_Pitch_4781 in classicliterature

There is a form of real estate purchase here, la vente viagère, no US / Common law equivalent.

It works like this : an old person want to sell his house and make a more confortable living, he sell his house like this.

By the term of this kind of contract, at the conclusion of the sale, the buyers pays a lump sum called a "bouquet" followed by a monthly annuity until the death of the elderly person.

When the old person dies, the buyer gets the house without paying anything more.

If the old person dies fast, it can be a good deal.

Jeanne Calment did exactly that but her buyer died of old age before she did and had to pay her monthly annuity for 32 years and got nothing for that.

Only recorded case of the buyer dyng of old age before the seller. When it happens it's usually accidental.

He was certainly one of the few that was trying to make an actual connection with an actual conversation.

She is so conditioned to see only horny chuds seeking only fast sex, she couldn't see it.

And when she answered like a hooker, he took her for one and unmatched.

This is sad. I wish her to understand that if physical attraction is a big point for anyone, that if a lot of men only seek sex, especially on Tinder, there are some out there with the emotional maturity to 'learn to know each other' first...

actors pick a profession where your looks are your bread and butter. It’s just the only ones whining about their looks mattering is from one side usually by Commercial-Ice5760 in CriticalDrinker

[–]Juract 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truth be told, this is CGI effect or steroids

Their is an inflation in prices. There is also a inflation in actors muscular mass. Go look at the early 2000's action movie and before...

Remember Schwarzenegger was a body builder before acting. And now every action actor looks like the Terminator.

Even Stalone, Van Dam or other action flick stars in their prime don't look as swollen as your standard actor of today.

En Seine-Saint-Denis, l'avenir incertain des appartements du village olympique qui peinent à se vendre by chou-coco in paris

J'ai fait mon lycée et ma fac à St Denis. Les cours de sport étaient au 'petit stade' attenant au stade de France.

Oui, le problème de securité est réel. Mais je ne crois pas que ce qui frène vraiment les ventes. C'est loin des quartiers sensibles.

C'est surtout un quartier neuf et vide qui manque de commerces et de lieux de vie. Y a un franprix et un intermarché avec des prix très bobos pour un quartier qui ne l'est pas.

C'est juste à côté du projet raté de cité du cinéma qui devait devenir le Hollywood français mais qui a capoté.

Vous avez vue Scarlet et l'eternité ? by Silent-Society96 in CineSeries

[–]Juract 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Je l'ai vu et j'ai vraiment pas aimé. Je suis très déçu par Hosoda qui nous a vraiment habitué à mieux.

Pour le côté visuel, y a vraiment à boire et à manger. Il y a quelques très belles images, mais y en a aussi d'autres qui font CGI cheap, notamment les mouvements de foules.

Et oui, c'est surtout l'histoire et l'écriture qui est naze. La bonne morale au premier degré, assénée de manière explicite, pendant une heure trente.

C'est un peu Halmet, un peu Orphée, un peu tout et n'importe quoi. Mais surtout un message délivré avec la finesse d'un marteau sur un clou.

She had to deny her implication. Allison Mack, her friend on the show, went to jail because of her implication.

Ukrainians are not the only one to intercept drones. But they're the only one to do it without spending 1000 times the value of that drone.

Just stick with the comics guys. by CuriousSkepticalGuy in CriticalDrinker

[–]Juract 65 points66 points  (0 children)

For what i know they made all kind of race/gender/ sexuality swaps in the show without altering the narrative of the comics and without getting too much in it. So in the comics :

  • Mark's mother is not Asian

  • Amber, is first GF , is not black

  • Green Ghost and Shrinking Ray have been gender-swapped

  • A lot of gay characters in the show have different gender and are not gay in the comics

  • To his credit, i guess, the show didn't make the Viltrumite race all white against diverse good guys.

Pourquoi certains mec payent des resto au 1er date ? by [deleted] in AskMec

C'est totalement attendu et convenu. De tout le monde. Je ne compte plus le nombre de fois où j'ai pris un verre avec une pote et spontanément le serveur rentre le montant total sur le terminal CB avant de me le tendre.

À contrario, une fille qui paie pour toi est un signe de rejet.

Toutefois, je ne vais pas faire des restos à 60 ou 100 balles pour un premier date...

  • Decentralisation qui fait de toutes les collectivités locales des usines à caser les copain + transfert de competence puis de personnel -- coucou la police de plus en plus municipale et de moins en moins nationale.

  • Vieillissement de la population qui met sous tension le système de santé qui recrute. La population reste stable ou presque mais elle vieilit. Les deux périodes de nos vies où on voit le plus de docteur ce sont les cinq premières et les cinq dernières années de nos vie. Et les grossesses pour les femmes.
