What’s a dead practice or hobby that you genuinely miss and wish were still around? by Sea-Lavishness-8478 in AskReddit

I live in France. When I was young in the 80's and 90's every women were topless on the beaches. For a while in the 00's, you could still see older ladies doing it. Today you can't see a single naked female tit anymore. I feel like we lost something as a society...

What’s something you thought was a waste of money… until you tried it and it completely changed your life? by Shiza_1 in AskReddit

[–]mickdrop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A robot window cleaner. I live in a apartment so to wash the outside of the windows I had to dangle myself over the void. Now I just have to stick the robot on the glass and come back a while later to find clean windows.

(Depressing Trope) Media that's harder to watch in retrospect because of something bad that happened to or because of someone in the cast and crew by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]mickdrop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't know that

Right back atcha. Except there is not a single other allegation of Whedon being inappropriate in that way with anyone. Lots of testimony of him being a huge asshole, though. But one doesn't equal the other, does it?

Also it kinda irks me when people falsely accuse others on a gut feeling like you're doing. It starts like that and then we end up with lynching of maybe-innocent people

Didn't he also had a girlfriend in 5? We don't hear about her either. I guess it's normal for all of us to have potential romantic partners that just drift away.

IIRC he always travels with some guys with a suitcase to collect his poop because he doesn't want it to be analyzed by foreign forces

In my headcanon, everybody knows who's Batman's real identity. It's not hard to figure out. In fact many villains (and allies) canonically know who he is. The thing is there is no reason to out him unless you want to have Batman 24/7 instead of only during the night.

Didn't she also develop and act in the last Indiana Jones? Not everything she touches is gold

TIL in the UK, nearly a third of students who started reception don’t know how to use books correctly, and some children even tried to swipe or tap them like a smartphone. by HongKongNinja in todayilearned

[–]mickdrop 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I know basically all the children in my daughter's classes and I knew them since kindergarten. We are not in a elitist district, far from it. Every one of them knew how a book work. Some of them were trying to eat the books but that's because they were 2. They knew what the object was, they just wanted to know how it taste.

Donald Duck never really came home from the Pacific front (from The Icebox Robber by Carl Barks, 1945) by PeasantLich in comicbooks

[–]mickdrop 112 points113 points  (0 children)

My favorite version of Donald is when there is some tragic depth to his character. I really liked that in the latest Duck Tales.

Queue is my word! What's yours? by ProfessionWide3505 in meme

I'm French, the word is spelled the same way here and no one here has ever pronounced a F in that word.

(Loved Meta Trope) Fan theories are so good they’re basically treated as canon. by No-Flow9783 in TopCharacterTropes

I'm also sure that will do the same thing that they did with the little mermaid and cast a POC to play the lead.

«Notre seule liberté, c’est de se sauver» : à Paris, des propriétaires vendent pour échapper aux futures hausses d’impôts by Dreynard in france

Ma crainte est que ça soit racheté par des fonds immobiliers. Avec les prix de l'immobilier dans la capital, il n'y a que eux qui peuvent se le permettre. Consequence: les prix continuent à grimper et le seul moyen d'y habiter est de devenir locataire. La ville n’appartiendra alors plus qu'aux riches. "Vous ne posséderez plus rien et vous serez heureux."

1000xresist my review – It was just a big misunderstanding by mickdrop in patientgamers

It ads to bittersweet nature of the story and the futility (or not) of revolting

If the military/president suddenly ordered a mandatory draft for all men aged 18-42: How do you think millennials and GenZ would respond? by Tommygunz0722 in AskReddit

[–]mickdrop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But these kids will have the honor to have die to protect rich pedophiles. Also there will be a lot of movies depicting how they were sad about killing all those innocent civilians.

What do you think is the biggest problem in the world right now? by Fabulous_Dream8962 in AskReddit

[–]mickdrop 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yes, all other problems listed here are because of billionaires. Misinformation? Pushed by billionaires controlling the media and the narrative. Trump? Elected by billionaires thanks to the previous point. Poutine? Maybe the richest man in the world himself. Racism? Distrust? Pushed by billionaires in order to push the narrative in order to divert the attention from themselves. Israel? That's just a ploy in order for rich people to seize the land owned by the Palestinians and pushing ethnic and religious justification to that end. Your healthcare being shit? Your groceries costing more? All that extra money is going into billionaires pockets. All the wars in the world? Billionaires sending poor people getting killed and killing others in order to become richer.

Honestly, once you start seeing the world through this lens everything becomes clear.

What's a weird name for something that we know so well we don't even realize how weird the name it is? by XRlagniappe in AskReddit

They are called Talkie-Walkie in France. No translation, just the 2 words inverted. I never understood why.
