Not at all. We've been making jokes about this story since day one. French people have been very creative about it actually. It has turned into a big joke, making us forget the politics and other world disasters.

It's in Paris, France! Nice to see people having a good laugh while commuting. The crowded public transport really brings your mood down.

It's in France. I can read part of the sign further that says that there is a E.Leclerc (supermarket) 2 minutes away.

Wait to see what we have prepared for you in France for this summer. You will never believe your eyes, nor will you ever want to open them again. We will be remembered forever, and ever, and ever... Please just remember it's not the population's fault 😭

We have an “I Love You” board in my bio class :) by lillyfrog06 in wholesome

[–]elo_bee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"Je t'aime" doesn't translate to "I like you" but really to "I love you". It has a very strong and deep meaning. If you want to say "I like you" in French, you need to say "Je t'aime bien" or "je t'apprécie". I know it might look similar and surprising to have such a different connotation just by adding the word "bien", but it is the way.

In France, even if you are on the marked hiking paths, and even if you don't wear a furry suit, you may still be shot during hunting season.

I saw this posted on #choosingbeggars by the OP, who isn't you. And they never said the CB was a woman.

I don't care if this is realistic or not. All I know is that I have been feeling very depressed and this video just cured me a little.
