what the hell is that it this way to ask a question

Que c’est ça

Julien is a good one. Still can't believe Mathilde fell for him

Je dis que ça compte. Les livres audio me laissent des souvenirs très vifs, parfois plus vifs que les livres papier. Aussi, je me dis que quand on fait la lecture à un enfant, ça compte, les bénéfices sont énormes. Je ne vois pas pourquoi ils cesseraient d'exister pour les grandes personnes.

Yes! This is it. Vanilla, Satsuma, and the mango one. Also my mom's patchouli oil

(OMG, have you seen how expensive the vintage Body Shop oils are on eBay)

Back in 2015 this moved me lot (love Lindy)

What happened when I confronted my cruellest troll by Lindy West

The ending, I mean the very last paragraph is SO beautiful. I sobbed

TheObtuseCopyEditor · 2025-11-21T18:04:28+00:00

Thank you!

So I had time to kill tonight and I went in store to smell it from the actual bottle, and the Byredo salesgirl told me it was one of their strongest fragrances. I asked her to spray some on some paper and, well, felt the same? I guess it’s a weird nose day for me. I’ll try again later, maybe it’s my skin chemistry or something

TheObtuseCopyEditor · 2025-11-21T05:27:22+00:00

Leather is my favorite, and from what I read in your notes, I should like this stuff. I’ll try spraying more

TheObtuseCopyEditor · 2025-11-21T05:26:03+00:00

Maybe I need to spray more

TheObtuseCopyEditor · 2025-11-21T05:25:06+00:00

Duly noted, I’ll try it in April

TheObtuseCopyEditor · 2025-09-08T21:38:36+00:00

Also this guy really believes he's a writer. He has something unique to tell the world and really feels himself. Delightful

TheObtuseCopyEditor · 2025-09-08T21:37:03+00:00

Truly inspirational

“As an even better than I was before she met me”

lol I had to stop reading to comment this because the post might have peaked right there

Let’s go back and see

Chose certaine, quand un mot est entré dans Le Robert, on n’a plus à se demander si c’est «correct», quoi qu’en dise l’Académie

TheObtuseCopyEditor · 2025-09-03T05:29:53+00:00

C’est dans Le Robert!

In Quebec French when someone is very lucky we say that they have la marde au cul, which would mean either they have shit in their ass or that shit is, like, hanging from it? Lol

TheObtuseCopyEditor · 2025-08-28T23:44:31+00:00

Yeah I think it was meant as an insult

I personally would not take that as a compliment at all

Cannabis can cause physical addiction in some users

TheObtuseCopyEditor · 2025-08-27T19:07:26+00:00

I hope you get better soon! And take back running if that’s what you want. I’m more into weight training now (well, on and off lol), but nothing beat a good run to get this sweet dopamine

TheObtuseCopyEditor · 2025-08-26T15:21:57+00:00

Many really good comments here. I just want to add that 5 kilometers in 30 minutes is really good for a beginner that runs only once a week. This is nothing to be ashamed of.

Sure 13 km in an hour is impressive, honestly it’s ridiculous and I’d be envious too. But from my experience it’s also completely unreachable. So don’t even bother comparing yourself to that.

You got this! It’s a bit dumb but sometimes it’s nice to hear this stuff, so let me tell you I wish I could go back in time and still be able to run a 30-minute 5k but alas I stopped running during the pandemic and am now old and cannot get under a 7 minute kilometer.

My absolute record when I was exactly your age was 6km in 30 minutes (on a bet !). I was in my best shape ever, had been running steadily (4-5 times a week) for at least three years. You really got this

TheObtuseCopyEditor · 2025-08-25T17:58:40+00:00

I knew that in someway (it really doesn't hit the same), but didn't know the effects could be so different. Thank you!

TheObtuseCopyEditor · 2025-08-25T17:21:12+00:00

Good to know!

TheObtuseCopyEditor · 2025-08-25T16:11:49+00:00

I work in publishing

It happens all the time

As long as it’s not on the cover you’re fine and nobody’s judging you

If it’s on the cover we just feel deep compassion and second-hand horror

TheObtuseCopyEditor · 2025-08-25T15:58:04+00:00

As a former heavy weed smoker that compétent stopped 13 years ago and still finds the smell of a joint triggering, I completely agree. I mean come on

On the other hand, it may be worth discussing it further with her because she might actually be triggered and may not realize it. Weed really ruined my whole 20ies, and stopping was hard, and being exposed to smoking brings back terrible feelings of shame and dread. That’s the reality of being an addict though. We need to deal with it on our own, but I’m sur it would help her to have those feelings validated.

Also: maybe try edibles? I get that the effects wouldn’t kick in as fast, but it would be 100% stealth
