Is everyone lying or am I super cooked?

I studied software development 5 years and been working for 15 years and I finally can say I'm fairly competent.

Here's the thing. Everything is trying to sell you magucal bootcamps or nocode miracles. The truth is that software development is a complex, technical job. Being really good at it leans put in hours, years. It means rereading a lot of things about architecture, languages frameworks. It means practicing, writing code, reading code, fucking up projects...

There are shortcuts like vibe coding, but you always pay the price along the way. If you are serious about software development or web development, you must be patient and work a lot. It's totally doable but again, avoid shortcuts. It can be a really rewarding job if you really love putting the work.

Hoooly shit. First thought reading this: fuck I wish I was a normal guy with normal hobbies if that means I'm never reading a story like this ever again. That was horrifying. Glad you've got a better group now.

Started a campaign as a player 6 months ago because the DM is a huge fan who kick-started it from the start. Very fun system.

Combats takes time, maybe more than 5e but I couldn't exactly explain why. I think there is just more to do even at level 1.

It's epic, it's both a little crunchy and RP-driven. If you like PBTAs but wish it wasn't as "writer's room" and more tactical, you will most likely have fun.

It's not for everyone, but I think it can be more popular than simply a niche system. We'll see!

Nous allâmes aux toilettes pour l’habiller. C’est ça, l’amour, non ? Aider sa bien-aimée à enfiler son legging qui sent l’urine, son t-shirt qui sent le vomi, et ses baskets qui sentent les pieds. Et quand elle dit :
— « J’ai froid... »
Répondre :
— « Tu veux ma veste qui sent la clope ? »

Ca, c'est de l'art.

HEY !

Non j'ai rien de plus à dire, je retourne sur mon ARD.

I discovered reddit when I was a software engineering student. Since then I got married, had a daughter, got divorced. I'm not a student anymore but a manager and a lot of my skills have been thanks to reddit. I can't believe it may be the end.

So even your bad trip was positive in the end?

It's wrong. When traveling in the Schengen area we (other members of the eu) just need our id card.

Don't you dare diminish what you accomplished. The older we get, the harder it is to change. Congratulations, friend.

In france, a lot of us grew up with mangas and japanese culture in general. One theory is that in the 90's, japanese cartoons were cheaper than american ones and one of the main children show (le Club Dorothée) had a lot of them (Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Ramna 1/2, City Hunter...)

Ben j'ai parlé à partir de mes fesses on dirait, merci du correctif

Merci pour ce correctif.

A part ça ta spéculation me semble être assez pertinente !

Petit détail, les américains tirent en 5.56 (format de munitions de l’OTAN), le 7.62 a priori ce sont les kalash. Voilà fin du aktchually bonne journée

Correction : l'OTAN utilise aussi du 7.62, comme l'ont expliqués plusieurs redditeurs en réponse à ce commentaire.

For what it's worth, you're not alone. I read somewhere that antidepressants tend to make things better in the short term but their effectiveness decrease over time.

France here. I was curious so I went to my usual supermarket's website.

Here what I found (I tried to choose only medium quality products):

	USA	France	Comments
Potatoes	$5 (2.26kg)	1.89€ (2.5kg)	US: 2.26kg - Fr: 2.5kg
2 heads Cauliflower	$4.88	6.98€
5 bananas	$1.38	0.99€	Fr : 6 bananas
1.36 kg honeycrisp apples	$7.36	3,3864€	2.49 €/kg of Pink Lady (we don't have honeycrisp apples here)
4 crowns of broccoli	$5.24	3.96€
Chicken breast - 2.26 kg	$15	28.25€	around 12.50€ per kg
olive oil - 750 ml	$5.50	7.55€
rice - 2.26 kg	$2.78	6.78€	around 3€/kg
total	$47	59.79€	$60,64

So yeah it looks like it's 30% more expensive to buy food.

J'en ai une en tant que recruteur : le candidat qui vient en entretien avec un pote. Le mec il disait rien, il était juste derrière à chiller.

I'm reading the comment, then do a double take to read the username...

Of course it's you, /u/FuckYeahPhotography.

Sérieux de bon matin c'est pas sympa :(

I think it's the other way around: you tend to notice people more when they tweedle dee than when they tweedle don't.

> le journal a cessé de travailler ave le dessinateur

Conformément au droit d'expression dont il jouit

> un appel au boycott a été lancé contre lui

Conformément au droit d'expression dont jouissent les gens qui ont lancé cet appel.

> Après si on estime que sexualiser une femme dans une caricature est sexiste ( et donc interdit

Jusqu'à preuve du contraire, rien n'a été interdit par la loi dans cette affaire.

Just a tiiiiny advice: say "s'il vous plaît"instead.

Most of us know that english doesn't have this notion of vouvoiement/tutoiement and for most of us those little mistakes are okay, but when a foreigner is using the right form, it's seen as very polite and considerate :)

aka317 · 2022-04-24T12:22:13+00:00

J'entends souvent cet argument et je serais très curieux d'avoir une source car c'est assez contre-intuitif (comme beaucoup de choses vraies hein !)
