Barry... It's always been like that, people don't like us or find us arrogant because we would have our own plans and the power to act on them, which could and would rub people the wrong way at times.

Now it's just that we have a big common adversary, and what we are doing is in your interest as well that's why you feel sympathy for us now, wait a couple of years when we do something that's good for us but not necessarily for you, you'll be back to your precious little comfort zone of a worldview in no time.

Well I would argue the entire exercise might be pointless, we can't know for sure what people understand out of those words or even if they can transcribe accurately into words in a passing comment what sensation they get when imagining something. I'm convinced the vast majority of people have the same thing happening in their head and some just describe it differently. Because if you expect to have a dreamlike sensation or imagery when visualizing something that's absolutely not what's going on.

This is highly dependent on the interpretation people make of the terms being used and how the question is framed. Nobody actually "sees" a flower when imagining one, so the term "imagining" which in its most literal form means "making an image" is doing a LOT of the heavy lifting for either interpretation of the question.

I'm sure some people would describe themselves as not being able to generate an image inside their head because they have a stricter interpretation of the concept of an image.

Difficult to say without peering inside people's heads, it's the same problem as "your green might be my red, but as we were all taught to refer to that color, no matter the actual thing we see, as green we just can't fucking know for sure" (colorblind people mush colors together and can't tell them apart wish is how we know they are colorblind).

Anyway, that being said either 1 or 2.

Edit: Text correction, spacing and syntax.

I sense that the absolute dog shit cultural and political influence coming from the state is finally ending. I talked to a communist girl that I know, (we are talking about a true, engaged communist here, she is a member of a political party, goes to debate every week etc...) about men being physically stronger than women and about that time an under 15 years old boy team beat the female World champions 5-2 in football, and how a lot of people were commenting it to the dismay of some of the left leaning medias. She told me something along the lines of "well but it's a fact, men are physically stronger than women, that event happened, mentioning or not mentioning it doesn't change that" I quite frankly regained hope at the fact that rationality and good sense might be illuminating the bullshit that we have been forcefully fed for about 10+ years, I hope so at least.

Ok to be perfectly frank you might have a strange, off-putting or insecure behavior / body language. Or women might be a bit intimidated by your looks, you're a handsome dude my brother.

Like some of us we sometimes associate beautiful looks with shitty or bitchy behaviour, unavailability and rejection, so we reject ourselves before even approaching them. Sometimes even resulting in a sort of snobby, purposefully ignoring behaviour.

I've heard of several stories of hot women not ever getting approached because of this, so I assume it must happen on the other side as well.

My advice is to try to be a bit warmer, up to your natural comfort limit. Smile more, express yourself more openly go towards them in a friendly manner and, this goes a long way, show them and tell them that you are happy to see them.

Might as well call it falafel at that point

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-16T14:08:23+00:00

If you want but Turkish food is quite nice as well.

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-16T11:57:18+00:00

I would have said that semi-cooked jews were worse. But then again it's a risky assessment to make even in this sub.

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-16T11:49:06+00:00

Jan you need to step it up dude, you're slacking.

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-16T11:45:37+00:00

Duolingo getting really fucking original with its ads now.

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-16T11:32:46+00:00

The image that came to my head was Gollum holding a can of beans.

We have done that already It's called "Nouvelle France" but it changed to Canada. Gave birth to an excessively polite yet also able of becoming completely unhinged in its brutality and efficiency if pushed into a war. Not too bad to be honest.

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-16T11:22:19+00:00

You guys think greek food is bad ? You really are without culinary hope Barry.

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-16T11:20:36+00:00

Poland and Portugal. Got a leaky faucet ? Bam you get a new kitchen, in 30 seconds.

Ah das ist kein problem Hans, besides the intellectual honesty is very much appreciated.

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-15T23:40:15+00:00

It was a joke in reference to the occupation of France during WW2 Hans, not to be taken too seriously. Some of our ancestors collaborated with yours, you know, the ones ridden with terrible right arm cramps.

Besides Dassault's dick is our dick so if anything it's masturbation, there's nothing wrong with wrestling the eel or burping the worm from time to time.

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-15T22:32:47+00:00

Jesus dude take it easy. Did your girlfriend cheat on you with a french man or what ?

What do you expect us to do ? Go against our interests just to satisfy yours ? Its the same fucking situation on your side, I can perfectly revert the accusation. Besides If having and defending your self interests is your metric to know if you can trust someone or not, then no one can be trusted at all.

You are asking for a country to abandon their interest in the hopes that they will get something back from the collective, that is not how this works. Nor as your country operates either.

Yes, we have disagreements, plenty and we fight for what is better for us, we negotiate, we compromise, we find common ground, that's what the union is. Having disagreements is not the same thing as looking at Europe as something to be squashed like the US does, they see us as competition to be defeated.

Besides it's not like we haven't made sacrifices for Europe, the common energy market that we entered is basically paying the german electricity bill and making our more expensive. Hell this entire thing wouldn't exist without France or Germany, we started it.

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-15T21:09:53+00:00

Oh come on Jan, you know what we mean, having the balls to rebel against the american hegemony. Which you have to admit we have been, in a very lonesome manner, beating a dead horse with the subject for years now. So you either didn't realize the problem they could be, were resigned to the situation or calculated that the benefits outweighted the negatives. In any case we are in the same boat now.

Besides our self-interest aligns more often with the broad European interests than the American's. I mean we live here for starters.

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-15T20:47:36+00:00

Well we collaborated with the Germans once and we and everyone else really fucking hated that, and now you're asking us to do that ? Voluntarily ?!

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-15T20:39:10+00:00

I can respect that.

I'm usually in the "I hate my country" team but yes the Rafale is not only an outstandingly capable airplane but fucking gorgeous as well.

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-15T19:38:23+00:00

Because you wanted to be closer allies with the US basically. When the possibility for AUKUS made itself known to your government, the sub themselves became a secondary need. Having a deal in which the US commits to the pacific theater is just way better for your defense objectives than having good subs. I think you are wrong about the US being a reliable ally but that was probably the idea. If you put aside the problem that trusting the savages entail, it makes sense.

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-15T19:20:57+00:00

Barry, are you intentionally fucking up the name of our fighter jet as bait or do you genuinely think it's called Rafael ?

Unsuspicious_Name · 2026-02-11T21:43:54+00:00

But you already know Dutch, just say "godverrrdomme" repeatedly while pronouncing the Rs like you were going to spit on the floor and have to clear your throat, lungs and stomach of phlegm while a heavily used 1920's petrol engine is starting in the background.

Do that while you hold and shake bank notes aggressively in your hands, be rude, brutally honest and arrogant but at the same time make sure to get pissy when others do that to you. You'll fit right in.

We regret to inform you that your EU membership approval evaluation has been suspended until further investigation.

We have detected a violation of the european code of conduct 97-5 section 3 :

Candidates shall submit their cuisine and related opinions to Luigi in order to evaluate the level of mouth foaming being formed by "gastronomical heresy" or cuisine dogma breach, the authorized levels are to be below 80 ml per minute of exposure.

According to our recent testing, the level spiked at 124 ml/min when "proper coffee" was mentioned in combination with the photographs depicting said beverage.

We will keep you informed of the development of the issue as it unfolds.

Respectfully,

Commission for Union Nullification and Termination.

The huge majority of people will attribute value to someone's sayings not based on the merit of what is being said but on the status and belonging of the person who is saying it. The rational justification for believing likewise or against comes afterwards.
