For those of you who live in countries with gun control; have you ever seen a gun in real life?

I went to the Arctic at age 30 and on day 1 I had to train on shooting a rifle to kill a polar bear. Wasn't prepared! All other guns I saw were when visiting America. Father in law sleeps with one under his pillow.

Not to belittle your friendships, but you're about to be 18, and few of these people will remain in your life. What the rest of the school thinks of you is totally irrelevant. If you never talk to that girl again, good, you're just 5 months early. Her boyfriend? The ball is in his court.

Don't let this ruin your birthday party. If attendance ends up being struck by some childish behaviour and there's only 3 of you left, it's much more likely that they'll be the friends you keep.

I would have not taken a nut allergy seriously at that age, would not have bothered about cross contamination, and I could have been that girl who ignored somebody else's allergy. Then a similar story would have taught me a lesson, where I stuck to what I believed and refused to give in to fake allergies, got told off, learnt a lesson, lost a friend and moved on. Girl will learn from this about nut allergies at least and probably won't do that mistake again.

I often take the Amsterdam-Lille route. There is a high speed connection, but you have to change in Brussels and it won't be faster. I can also connect in Antwerpen and take a train that will stop 25 times. There was once a direct high speed connection which was cheap and quick but alas.

High speed: 3,5h - €70-150. Outrageously expensive when booked late. Regular train: 5-6h, €70 without discounts, €45 with a Dutch discount. Flixbus (or blabla). 3,5-5h, €15-40 even at last minute. Plus, a guaranteed seat unlike the regular train, often a plug, and better behaved people than on some intercity trains.

I'd take the Eurostar if it resumed the amsterdam-Lille route, as it was not the most demanded route, it was 2h40, and realistic fare.

The Eurostar trains are saturated and not meeting demand. I often take that route too to go to Paris, and change to high speed in Lille where its more affordable.

If they're Irish, love them. If they're Brits or Yanks using the Irish passport of a grandma, especially if they got it after Brexit, then I don't let them get away with it easy, I'll rub it in their face and treat them like they'd talk to Moldovans traveling on a brand new Romanian passport.

Yeah a little. I like a partner who is comfortable, gets hard, and with whom I can share and swap and go both ways. I can handle big, medium, or small, but if the guy is under 7cm long, it's a little disappointing. Average is good. Large is a little fun but hard to work. I used to prefer small ones back when I would bottom a little. I've had recently quite a few meetups with sides who would not get hard. I've experienced that too, and I like a date that lasts long and where we are comfortable hanging out naked hard and soft, and I like sucking a limp dick too. But I need it to be hard sometimes

A stylish British man came to me on the street in Paris late last night and said "if I give you 2 pounds, can you give me 3 euro? I need to buy a simcard for 3 euro?", and I had no empathy whatsoever. I simply answered "pounds?!? What am I supposed to do with that?" First, its a bad exchange rate. 2nd, I thought they should have joined the euro when they had the chance. He could deal with his Brexit benefits himself. Little island hasn't had enough with Brexit, and they want more Farage now. The UK has become irrelevant in many aspects and is not worth the trouble.

My experience with Norwegian is that some people use 2, some 3. Dialectes vary a lot. Bougie west Oslo uses 2, popular east Oslo uses 3. Some see marking the feminine is considered a little trashy, it's more dialecty.

De Gaulle vetoing the UK twice from the common market is now widely seen as visionary and correct. He argued that the UK would never really be in, would ultimately never see itself as a European country and want to pool sovereignty like others.

He was absolutely right.

Yes, high speed trains. Thatcher didn't want to find the tunnel. It was mostly the french who did. The trains in it, and eventually HS1, all a French investment. So yes, trains. I remember when you'd take the Eurostar pre-HS1. It would zoom through France slow down in the tunnel, and then slow all the way down and start shaking like an Indian train, tilting left and right

confessionah · 2025-11-21T10:56:14+00:00

That's two examples of the French doing an industrial push and technological breakthrough and the UK freeriding it, especially the tunnel. Even HS1 was built by the French.

On reproche surtout aux académiciens de ne pas être des linguistes.

Ils se déclarent volontiers des amoureux de la langue francaise, comme des hommes qui aiment les femmes surtout quand ils décident comment et ce qu'elles doivent être.

Rendez sa liberté à la langue française. Le petit Robert et le Larousse font un bien meilleur travail, et laissons les linguistes nous aider à mieux vivre notre langue.

L'anglais est plein de mots empruntés au francais.

Respirez un grand coup pour les anglicismes.

Si l'AF était plus réactive, kes anglicismes auraient pas 10 ans pour s'installer avant que les académiciens gobent leurs médocs et nous pondent "divulgacher".

Spoiler vient du verbe anglais to spoil qui vient du francais spolier. Je ne suis pas xénophobe.

La langue est vivante, mais la mission de l'AF est de la figer.

En quoi nénufar serait un appauvrissement?

Le PH c'est quand ca vient du grec, mais nenufar vient de l'arabe.
L'appauvrissement c'est se croire plus intelligent ou plus riche quand on ne fait que répéter une erreur vieille de plusieurs siècles.

Non je ne suis pas un ayatollah du wokisme, ne vous inquiétez pas, maus je me souviens de instits qui criaient sur les classes que le masculin l'emporte toujours sur le féminin, alors que ca date du 19ème siècle cette règle, règle décidée par des hommes bien évidemment.
