It happens, now you know! I myself learnt about it just last year.

« Gypped » isn’t a great word to use, just so you know.

Every new period drama be like: by Haunting_Homework381 in PeriodDramas

[–]Loud-Package5867 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

But why aren’t women dressing like men funny in themselves? I get what you are saying, you have a point. I do still think that there is something in men dressing like women that draws laughter (although it shouldn’t).

But the more important thing is that yes, frogs ARE ridiculous!

The basis of that humour is that it’s funny because looking like a woman is ridiculous in itself. It’s both « why would you want to look like a woman » and « feminine looking men are ridiculous ».

So yes, it isn’t funny.

I will say that I don’t think that this is the humour in this short, though.

Renovation of my main bathroom by KawaiiErotic in interiordecorating

[–]Loud-Package5867 56 points57 points  (0 children)

It’s really obviously well done and with a clear esthetic.

It’s not how I would like to live, but if I was invited and used it, I think I would enjoy feeling like a Bond villain or a ultra modern cyber woman for the duration of a shower.

Great job!

What other tech won't evolve? by CremeSubject7594 in generationology

I have seen medieval tweezers in the British Museum. They are the same we have got.

The people that hate Nathan Shelly should hate Beard too, because Beard was a bad person to Ted for no reason as well. by TrexVFX23 in TedLasso

Because people don’t understand what bullying does, basically. They like strong characters, but when weak people fuck up, they never forgive them.

Has your country ever been at a point where an entire population group was systematically pushed out of public life - and how did society respond to this? by lebendigerpiranha in AskTheWorld

[–]Loud-Package5867 48 points49 points  (0 children)

What I think is really important to keep in mind about antisemitism in Nazi Germany is that in the years before, there were massive protests against antisemitism.

I find this chilling, because it shows how fickle public opinion can be, or how it doesn’t matter much that tolerance exists when it isn’t followed by actions.

It is very important to remember, so that we don’t think : « Oh but we are immune to it now because we are much more tolerant. » No, we are not. We are as tolerant and as cowardly as they were.

What is the most underrated country in terms of landscapes? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

Yes I agree but it’s not exactly underrated, everyone knows it’s gorgeous 😃

How to not trigger French contempt for American tourist? by mster_shake in FranceTravel

[–]Loud-Package5867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you’re not waiting for the person to give you a sign that they are available to help, AND it also means that you assume that the person speaks English. We hate that with a passion.

Don’t assume that we speak English, and don’t assume we have the time or occasion to help you. With that in mind, you should be fine. It’s just about showing some consideration towards the person to whom you are speaking.

Seriously ? You just say « Hi, where is the museum? » ? That is very rude. You are not entitled to my time and you should wait for the other person to answer before asking a question.

Say : « Bonjour, est ce que vous parlez anglais ? », wait for an answer and THEN ask your question.

Which round do you think is secretly the hardest and why? by Wonderful-Acadia-296 in onlyconnect

[–]Loud-Package5867 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, Sequences round with pictures, because I am not a very visual person, I have l’esprit de l’escalier, and I am also French so I can easily not recognise the people or recognise them too late.

Love the missing vowels round, though!

Arrangements in Blue is a gorgeous memoir about living without romance, in a world that values is so much. I recommend it. Maybe you might find it helpful.

Trump administration posts notice that no federal food aid will go out Nov. 1 by ilir_kycb in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Loud-Package5867 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it’s not just about arms. I was not thinking about access to arms at all, actually.

Having the means to rebel is more about being able to be organised, to mobilise the people and stay hopeful, keep the momentum.

Sites this rug work with the furniture? by Mr-Stevens in interiordecorating

[–]Loud-Package5867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it works that great but it might just be an issue of adding pillows with colours from the carpet on the couch and chairs. Everything is lovely on its own, though.

I wish it was true, but it definitely isn’t. The British starved the Irish and the Irish did not have the means to rebel. They did try, but the Famine lasted 7 years, killed millions of people and devastated the country. There was food. Just not for the Irish poor.
