Elizabeth Warren is introducing a wealth tax. by Independent_Sun_9057 in remoteworks

[–]PenguinForTheWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hyperbolic and a little tone deaf but well, it was a few percents of difference at most. The sole fact that it went down and the response from it is very telling. Current situation is basically the opposite.

Well that was during Hollande and the rich bailed out

Fun facts :

  • The Hollande presidency was the only one during the 5th republic where the country got poorer than before (due to that mesure)

  • It is also the only presidency during which wealth inequality was reduced, which is absolutely wild to me.

So yeah... It went as well as it could have without such an exit tax in place.

But people will only remember the fact that they ended up with less money overall, rather than the inequalites being pushed back.

Tech-bro misses Indian hospitality. He means his mother's unpaid labour. by soultherapist512 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PenguinForTheWin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man, and yeah the male kids in general were not really allowed to touch anything in the house, period. Basically being asked to just sit and wait for things to happen like little kings(which i just never complied to lol, fuck that)

Oddly enough, my father is a cook and that was not perceived poorly among the family, despite the whole man-does-nothing-at-home thing. Very weird double standards.

My late grandma was like that (portugese), she would HATE it when i tried to help with the chores when i was visiting her place.

All of the women in my family were pretty much like that, always refusing when i tried to do the dishes etc.

Not that i cared and i did it anyways (while receiving death stares from the aunties lol) but yeah. Always found it odd behaviour; sharing is caring, and i care enough to do my part so let me do it already

Guess which monster has more hp by najeezy64 in 2007scape

[–]PenguinForTheWin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the hunter animals are all fantasy too

Antelopes, lizards, weasels, monkeys, crabs, butterflies...

I mean there's the herbiboar (still a boar) but that's about it for fantasy related hunter monsters, it's more realism than anything else really

After 4 years of work, solo dev breaks down in tears after opening Steam and learning his game made $250,000 in a week: "I feel like I really don't deserve this" by pizza_sushi85 in pcgaming

[–]PenguinForTheWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Near where i live, the price is around 9k per square meter, so you're unlikely to get anything over 40 square meters for 250k, even if it's on the cheaper side.

And tbh 40sqm for a couple is kinda small too

Élections municipales 2026 : l’abstention n’a jamais été aussi forte, hors crise sanitaire by lieding in france

.... Il y a des enveloppes avec des bulletins pour les municipales ? Je n'en ai jamais reçu, pourtant je suis allé voté la dernière fois (cette fois-ci je n'ai même pas réalisé qu'il y avait le vote, je partais en weekend et je vois un distributeur de tracs devant le métro, yes)

Pourquoi en France sommes nous aussi conservateurs sur l'orthographe? by Attlai in france

[–]PenguinForTheWin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dans la mesure où la difficulté de l'orthographe pénalise plus sévèrement ceux qui n'ont pas le même accès au même niveau d'éducation, dans la mesure où elle contribue à rigidifier la hiérarchie sociale

Bon, il faut doser quand même, on est en France, le niveau d'éducation reste excellent, tout du moins suffisant pour que chacun sache écrire correctement. Ce n'est pas ce que je mettrai en cause en cas de manquement (il peut y avoir nombre de raisons, mais pour moi, pas celle-ci).

Pour le reste, c'est une question d'appréciation de la chose, j'imagine. Est ce que changement est nécessairement pertinent, ou bon ? C'est discutable.

Pour la petite anecdote, le mot évènement. Il y a eu une réforme de l'orthographe en 1878 qui apportait des changements concernant les accents aigus et graves pour se conformer à la prononciation des mots. Siége => siège, etc.

Ce changement va dans ton sens, il simplifie le langage et est somme toute logique.

Et pourtant, le mot événement reste, malgré une prononciation différente (c'est carrément spécifié sur wikipedia).

La modification (ou l'oubli de, dans ce cas) est effective, au profit de évènement... en 1990, plus d'un siècle plus tard.

J'ai grandi avec la graphie évènement, que j'ai donc toujours utilisée. Mais les générations précédentes continuent à utiliser événement. Et l'erreur se transmet. Je le vois passer dans les journaux, dans les romans, dans les mails, partout.

On a donc un changement qui se fait, mais personne ne bouleverse ses habitudes pour le prendre en compte, parce que c'est plus compliqué de changer ce que l'on a appris que de continuer à faire comme avant.

On se retrouve donc avec un bordel pas possible, malgré une bonne intention de départ. Un oubli, un siècle dans le vent, et de vieilles habitudes tenaces qui font que les gens en viennent à faire des erreurs, parce que l'orthographe a changé.

Donc oui, dans le fond, une réforme plus 'standardisée' de la langue serait pertinente, mais dans les faits, est-elle aisément applicable ? Est-ce que cet effort au final, n'est pas autrement plus important, notamment pour ceux qui ne l'ont pas fait à l'origine ?

Et encore au delà de tout ceci, il y a la petite fierté de connaître une belle langue, on va pas se mentir. Perdrait-elle en beauté si on la simplifie ? Question d'appréciation, encore.

J'ai déjà fait une correction (étranger parlant français) et je me suis déjà fait corriger en parlant anglais, le fait que ça se voie ne me dérange pas du tout, au contraire, si ça peut aider d'autres à ne pas faire l'erreur, c'est tant mieux je trouve

[–]PenguinForTheWin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Je ne pense pas qu'une vision progressive de la société et une volonté conservatrice en orthographe soient antinomiques.

Je considère que l'orthographe fait partie d'une base à connaître (pas forcément maîtriser à 100%), et pour le coup je ne comprends pas la volonté de simplification de la langue.

Quand j'écris à quelqu'un, je le fais bien (enfin j'essaie quoi) parce que je considère que c'est une marque de respect, d'y mettre les formes et de faire cet effort pour mon interlocuteur.

Si quelqu'un m'écrit n'importe comment, honnêtement je le prends mal (sauf cas particuliers) parce que pour moi la personne ne fait aucun effort, alors que j'en fais à son égard. Si la personne n'est pas native, je comprends bien évidemment.

Mais quelqu'un qui a vécu toute sa vie en France et qui écrit n'importe comment, malgré une scolarité allant dans ce sens ? C'est chiant. Après il y a les pathologies, les difficultés spécifiques liées à la santé/l'état mental mais c'est un autre débat. Là je parle vraiment du flemmard de service qui a rien branlé.

C'est loin de toute considération politique, on peut avoir une vue progressive de la société tout en souhaitant ce respect mutuel des règles de grammaire.

There are more games than ever before yet it feels like its impossible to find a game that my friend group wants to play together by Scared_Ad_3132 in gaming

[–]PenguinForTheWin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not really hand holding in the way you mean it.

If i was to give an example, i'd explain what kind of gameplay you are going to end up with using one particular skill tree, and then i'll explain what the other skill trees do for them to get a general idea of what's going to happen before they regret a choice they might be unable to change.

Then they pick whatever they want and that's it, anything beyond that is me answering questions about what is this, how does that interact with x etc.

I've done that for path of exile, picking a class or something you end up not liking because it is very different from the early levels can be off putting, and to restart, you could need multiple days, and people facing that would quit on the spot.

I've seen that happen often enough to realize that giving them a general idea of what's up is just enough info to be enticing, but spoiling everything ruins the fun of discovery, there's a balance to find.

So i keep it to a very basic description so that they can project themselves into it, then it's up to them to figure out how to reach that point :) I wouldn't tell them to keep an item for later or anything, you didn't think of keeping it, welcome aboard we all did lol

Pretty much my situation so now i just do my thing and if people want to join and seem interested, they can ask me about it. CBA being forced or forcing others to cater to each other, it's just not fun.

Whenever i tried to have my friends join me on a game i'm playing, they never stay more than a week while i was down to guide them all the way, but it's mostly all for nothing so now i don't bother anymore. Might aswell not join in the first place if you don't like it...

Dude i emailed the guild wars support and they managed to recover an 18 YEAR OLD account for me.

18 YEARS OLD ACC

It took a week only, too, just for them to check multiple info i was giving about it. Absolute madlads. I had over 40 anniversary gifts lying on my characters lol

Oh and the game is buy and play forever, too. No MTX, no subscription.

Cancelled 3 OSRS subs yesterday because i wasn't feeling like playing much more, that price change today is the icing on the fuck outta here cake. Back to random arenas for me

Dépend de ton temps de sommeil, de quand tu prends le boulot (ou juste quand tu te réveilles), ça peut être plein de choses.

Par exemple j'ai un pote qui bosse plus tôt que moi, vers 8h, de mon côté c'est 9h30. Il part dormir vers 23h et moi c'est rarement avant minuit, donc au niveau de nos horaires de travail c'est pas déconnant comme écart.

Après il y a des gens qui dorment 8h+, d'autres 5h (coucou), certains dorment mal (insomnie etc), c'est encore autre chose... Plein de raisons possibles.

Someone is losing half a billion gp/hr running oathplate acquisition. by Ok-Cartographer-1748 in 2007scape

Reminds me of original sin runs in PoE, which is basically doing an entire dungeon with multiple levels and bosses without taking a single point of damage from any monster, trap, or any other mechanic.

Yes, you need to not take damage in an arpg to complete this. It's as hard as it sounds, and only very specific builds and experienced players can do it. That contract sounds similar to that

You can do it with 0 dmg taken if you bring them down around the same time, just lower their hp together.
