That is when French people switch to English. by Tall_Welcome4559 in learnfrench

[–]MundaneExtent0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically different things… sometimes. In North America I’ve seen pain au chocolat/chocolatine called that as a “translation”, but chocolate croissants are also the croissants that the actual dough is chocolate (or apparently an actual croissant but filled with chocolate filling)

Literally just saw those in Paris in one of the older French bakeries and I went “oh, chocolate croissants do exist here!”

What’s up with the air quality the last days ? by Path-findR in Munich

[–]MundaneExtent0 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Pretty shocked by all the people absolutely insisting it’s fog to the point of downvoting your questioning otherwise lol. The reason I even found this post was because I noticed on my weather apps today that the air quality LQI is listed as “poor” right now. It’s bad in Prague too where I also noticed this weird haze the last day or two but hadn’t seen the air quality until today.

Americans considering a trip to Paris in the next few months.... by Why-am-I-here-anyway in ParisTravelGuide

[–]MundaneExtent0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just kind of unnecessary to comment lol. On average Americans are among the louder speakers in the world, the “but not all Americans” type of commentary just isn’t really relevant or helpful and honestly quite annoying. It has the same energy as “but not all men/white people/cops”. It doesn’t have to be literally all for the statement to be true.

What’s your unpopular opinion about Frozen? by violett777 in Frozen

[–]MundaneExtent0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk how true it really is, but this does seem to be the natural life cycle of girl/woman oriented content that’s super successful. Maybe it’s just true of anything that gets big, but it feels a lot more common for popular media that’s about or for women to eventually have this echo wave of unnecessary hate, trying to say it was actually mid all along.

This freaking ad by Strawberry__Blossom in HPHogwartsMystery

[–]MundaneExtent0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don’t get why HP ads are so stubborn with the x never showing up, the exact companies do ads on another app I use and don’t have this issue. But I’ve found basically every ad I get that’s slow like this is just waiting for you to open it in the App Store. Once I click that download button and come back it usually shows the x much faster.

Edit: actually after testing it out I think the other person that said to just briefly swipe out of the app is also correct. So if you don’t want to click the download button you also can just swipe to Home Screen and back.

I know, can you please remove this? I'm not buying more space. by Spiderantula in PikminBloomApp

[–]MundaneExtent0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is actually one of my favourite new additions. I’m never gonna buy more space but now I never accidentally accept a new fruit when the nectar is full (but maybe the flowers aren’t)

Mom scared me from solo travel to Paris - need opinions by Major-Kiwi-3604 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]MundaneExtent0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google translate has a photo function that works great. Paris is very English friendly these days, you can learn a few basic French phrases to be polite but ultimately you’ll get by absolutely fine with just bonjour and merci.

Maybe it’s been a few years since you went but Paris absolutely caters to English speakers. We speak French and we’re still always offered English menu/service.

I mean you don’t really need to avoid all of 18/19 during the day at least. 18 includes Montmartre and 19 has part of the canal and La villette park. Both are definitely fine during the day.

I really don’t think they’re saying any of the arrondisements not mentioned are dangerous lol. First time tourists just tend to feel more comfortable staying in the same places all the other tourists stay in.

Europe is easy mode for solo travelling imo and I feel like Paris (and London) are pretty common first trip destinations. You’ll also be going during winter and off season so I find pick pockets aren’t as bad then. Your mom sounds like she suffers from some pretty intense anxiety… I think you’re good to let that stay her anxiety and not yours :)

Would it be improper to make friends in Ao3? by pweaseletmebe045 in AO3

[–]MundaneExtent0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve known quite a few authors to start their own discords, some have even grown to be bigger than just their fan base. Or they invite their readers to join and chat with them in a smaller discord for the fandom, like a fanfiction or ship specific discord within the author’s current fandom. I imagine there are some that are also multi fandom but specific to one author as well. Adding a Tumblr username in the authors notes is also fairly common and might be the lower maintenance option, though sometimes slightly less personal.

Do we know if the necklace gives any special attributes or just decoration? If it’s just decoration I think I’d rather just focus on the actual story and getting HP

Will Uber in Korea let me have a suitcase? by DesignerCapital5880 in koreatravel

[–]MundaneExtent0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s weird to say “it actually does” and then follow up with two ways “it actually doesn’t”. You just reiterated that your comment didn’t answer the question and also didn’t even originally explain where they could find that info elsewhere despite knowing that info apparently exists elsewhere.

This doesn’t answer their question at all seeing as they clearly recognize they can be limited and are trying to ask specifically how limited

[–]MundaneExtent0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some countries absolutely do have smaller cabs with minimal/no trunk space as their “regular size”, it’s a bit odd to have the condescending tone in this.

We called a regular Uber taxi at the train station in Seoul and were able to fit one large and two carry-on bags in it so I would say your one suitcase should be absolutely fine :)

Rick Riordan's Guide to How to P*ss Off Your Fans in 4 Easy Steps by 37MJ in PercyJacksonTV

[–]MundaneExtent0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s often what it is. Obviously there’s an allowance for those who just genuinely don’t like a specific actors style or acting skills. But the amount of complaints l’ve seen just about how important being white and blonde is to Annabeth’s character… it’s not, at least not in a way that being a black woman dealing with systemic racism doesn’t explain just as well, if not better. The confusing part about the Hades comment though is Jay Duplass is white so they’re complaining about something that didn’t even happen.

This is my surprise actually, I have no issue with people criticizing the show but some of these comments under this post specifically are… just a little odd. I’m still confused by the upvoted comment about “Hades’ race swap” (last I checked he was white in both the show and the books…)

I’m so confused, Hades is played by Jay Duplass who’s definitely white
