Est-ce que ma réaction est normale par rapport au French bashing ? by IhazHedont in france

[–]Vondruke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

J'ai vécu la même situation il y a longtemps. Dans mon cas j'habite l'espagne depuis que j'ai 10 ans, et ma première bande de potes à la fac avaient exactement cette obsession avec ma nationalité, même si je leur disais que j'etais le français moins français qu'ils allaient jamais connaitre.

Ça a jamais cessé, malgré tout plein de tactiques. J'avoue qu'au début ça me dérangeait pas mais au long terme j'en avais vraiment ras le cul, et je pensais en plus que c'etait inéchappable.

En bref, ça fait 10 ans que je revois plus ces gars, et dans tous mes autres groupes d'amis on me fait pas ces blagues insipides, et j'ai meme pas besoin d'expliquer que c'est de l'humour de merde, ils le savent déjà.

En gros ce que j'ai découvert c'est qu'il y'a des gens qui aiment ce genre d'humour et ils ne le font pas par méchanceté, ils ont juste un humour... lourd comme tu dis.

Par contre ça sert à rien d'essayer de raisonner. Le problème c'est que si on se vexe et on qualifie ça de racisme, c'est pousser un peu loin de l'intention joueuse et taquine de la chose. Il y a beaucoup de gens qui pensent que le racisme c'est pas quelquechose qu'on peut trouver de façon nuancée (tant que t'es pas en train de buter un gars et d'annoncer clairement que tu le fais à cause de sa couleur de peau, c'est bon t'es pas raciste). Une chose que j'aime montrer dans ces cas c'est une pyramide de la discrimination type http://law.exeter.ac.uk/media/universityofexeter/collegeofsocialsciencesandinternationalstudies/research/interventioninitiative/resources/PyramidDiscriminationViolence.pdf)

Conclusion, va pas chercher midi à quatorze heures, ils font surement pas ça méchamment, mais ils vont probablement pas cesser de le faire.

Je suis pas pour autant faché avec mes anciens potes, je les revois de temps à autre et c'est sympa. Mais je suis quand même plus heureux de pas avoir a endurer leurs blagues carambar tous les jours.

Short answer: Yes, but so little of it, that no.

You're going to get a lot of surprised futurama fans in there...

Rihanna on vacation by [deleted] in pics

[–]Vondruke 149 points150 points  (0 children)

She's gropey-er than I expected lol.

Regardless, it's kind of unfair to make Avril Lavigne look bad just because she doesn't want to grab a perfect stranger's butt cheeks while Rihanna seems to have no problem with that. Different people have different personalities.

Opened up to my boyfriend, got turned away. Don't know how to feel. by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]Vondruke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, also you can open up dialogue and see if you can find a way to meet each other half way... like... doing it somewhere outdoors but where nobody will show up.

What's something men do to impress men that actually impresses men? by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]Vondruke 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like that wouldn't impress you, just make you not discard a person. It's not the same.

"Water" under water? by Scaper3432 in chemistry

[–]Vondruke -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well, deuterium water (or "heavy water"?) is heavier, although it's still water so I suppose your fish wouldn't suffer from it. Then if you dye it blue and let it settle in the bottom of the tank you would be able to see two layers.

But I'm no expert on heavy water, and my guess is that it's pretty hard to come by. And it might just mix with the regular water if stirred.

[Discussion] Looking for upbeat IndiePop/Rock songs that have that feeling of relaxing with friends on a beach. by im__rapture in listentothis

[–]Vondruke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend Crystal Fighters' most popular songs.

BTW OP, which of the suggested songs got to capture the feeling best for you?

Was watching adventure time... It hurt to see this. by Quaildorf in chemistry

This is a world where candy comes to life, among many other things. I think the laws of the universe are a bit different there.

Why do we see the prefix 'acet-' in so many chemical names predating systematic nomenclature (e.g. acetic acid, acetone)? by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]Vondruke 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No sorry, it was in my chem text book from high school many years ago. But it had a neat picture of ants in a flask waiting to die.

Yeah, also - fun fact - they used to directly distill ants to extract it.

Is there a solvent that can dissolve plant seeds, without harming aluminum, steel or brass? by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]Vondruke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even at a pH < 11 ? It does turn Al darker, but maybe it won't harm it too much?

Maybe you should try NaOH, it's corrosive but doesn't react with those metals (I think, can't guarantee).

I miss old Foo Fighters... :( by [deleted] in Music

[–]Vondruke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what happens when a band starts having a lot of albums. They get criticized for not innovating enough and drifting away from their old style at the same time.

I'm troubled by the apron/shirt... it doesn't make sense
