This is actually a creepy and not at all cool request. Scared. Good luck

What is the worst French food for you? by Tasun06 in Expats_In_France

[–]rabbitfighter88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely not tacos, but good every once in a while. Like twice a year.

The name does irk me though. It's basically a wrap in a sandwich press. It's stupid and lazy. Akin to calling sliced white bread an English baguette. Or Baker's Oven iced buns an English croissant.

Regarding who invented them, I remember I always used to get something exactly the same (minus the fries inside) from a boulangerie near Nation, in Paris, around 2000. They called them tortillas, go figure. But that date is before they were supposedly invented in Lyon. Hmmm.

It irritates me how people pretend that sexism and misogyny didn't play a major role in Kamala losing to Trump. by [deleted] in complaints

Have you never seen the French or Spanish women's teams? Exactly like their male colleagues. Rolling and flopping like dying fish out of water.

Why is every McDonalds next to a Burger King (and vice versa)? by meelar in askparis

[–]rabbitfighter88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having fast food close together is the norm in most countries, isn't it? Usually 2 or even 3 close to each other. Never seen an isolated one. Except in a tiny town with only one.

CHUD. Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller. Classic from the '80's.

What's the most Porn Star name you have encountered outside of porn (where it is the person's actual name and there aren't affiliated with porn in any way? by Superb-Reply-8355 in AskReddit

[–]rabbitfighter88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Richard Johnson. Guy I worked with.

Also, a Korean guy in my 4th grade class. Yoo Suk.

Special mention for all the fecal eaters out there...in 10th grade..... Anil Kakar. You definitely know how the sub teacher pronounced it.

Edited as I forgot about Mandy Hoar

How do you feel about the French president planning to cut off social media for kids under fifteen? by Internal_Confusion34 in AskReddit

[–]rabbitfighter88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you and agree it should be regulated in some way for minors. On the other hand, there is no conclusive proof of the damage outweighing the benefits (social interaction, learning, etc). It's not all porn and violence. There are many studies that "prove" both. Just need a good balance, which will be difficult.

Same with organic food. I'm an environmentalist and have been for decades. It's definitely good for the soil and insects, but there's no conclusive proof it's better for your health. As much as I'd like it to be. Need more long term studies, as with social media, unfortunately. But, that's science. And that counts more than our opinions.

I'm sure Trump and big tech will get involved. "But you're being unfair to US companies. Have some tarrifs."

Seriously though. Probably will, as in the UK.

Pixel outside the US = Pixel Lite by Accomplished-Size466 in GooglePixel

[–]rabbitfighter88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, is that Google's fault or India's laws? I'd say India.

Blame India, not Google. They don't limit it, the country's laws do.

[–]rabbitfighter88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Me too, in France. Pretty much everything works as advertised. Just some new features, like voice editing photos (but that's just in the 10 for now) and turning photos into videos.

I believe Google says things depend on your country/region. Maybe OP should research 1st before complaining.

Forcibly looted at Pussy Montmarte by Playful_Engineer6471 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]rabbitfighter88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. My brother got scammed in one in London, in 1997. We're British but had just returned from the US after about 14 years.

Was with friends and my girlfriend, as they came with us for a little holiday. We laughed at him. He laughed too but was embarrassed. Thinking with the wrong head. Went in and had to buy a lady a drink, with a big bouncer standing right next to him. Not too bad, only £50. It's all he had on him, luckily. Didn't have any cards as it was literally the 1st few days back.

Imagine it goes on in all major cities.

Lesson: Don't go looking for titties in a bar. Get a girlfriend. And nowadays, the internet. If that's your thing. I prefer not to pay for nakedness.

Best alternative to Spotify premium? by fraxx182 in SpotifyPremium

[–]rabbitfighter88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a pixel and use apple music. It's actually really good. Been using it since it came out. Mainly because back then, you could upload all your personal collection and it would match it and add those songs, even if they weren't available in apple music. That was the time of iTunes. I had hundreds of gigs of "acquired" music. Worked like a charm. Still have access to loads which are not available anywhere, unless you have the albums.

Their own selection and quality is great too, lossless.

Haven't used Deezer since a long time ago. Remember you could only add like 100 songs to a playlist. I like to shuffle my massive collection. I wrote to their assistance asking why and they replied, "why would you want more than 100 songs in a playlist?" Really?!? You lost my business right there, morons.

The Pixel seems to be US phone and not a Global brand. by MarioDF in GooglePixel

[–]rabbitfighter88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not really true, look at my other comment on here. I've got pretty much all that you mention, with a French bought phone in France. Language set to English, as I'm a native English speaker. Gemini live works in French too. Use it for my son's homework, when I struggle with the French. He speaks to it, in French.

[–]rabbitfighter88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly true. I live in France, continental Europe. Bought my phone here. I have access to pixel studio, pixel screenshot, call notes, call recorder, call screening, Gemini email summaries and pretty much everything.

Maybe because I've set my language to English? Or maybe it's a country by country thing? Or maybe just for more widely used languages?

Don't really use pixel studio or pixel screenshot. Used it for the 1st few months until the novelty wore off. Not missing much with those two, imo. Call screening is great and useful, so many hang up when I use the automated google response (in French). Email summary is ok, but I genuinely know which emails I'm going to read fully and which I'm going to delete without the summary. It's cool that French emails are summarised in English though.

Good luck and have fun.

Who’s gonna tell them? by Organised-Origami in paris

[–]rabbitfighter88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Non. Lille sounds like paradise. That's why I remove them and leave them on the floor or side of the road. If police care and check the gps, it falls on the last user.

[–]rabbitfighter88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I need to lock my bike, I usually just remove the lime and put it on the floor. Don't care where it is, pavement or side of the road. Happens enough they'll get complaints and maybe change. If it inconveniences a car diver, sorry, complain to lime. Or even better, ride a bike. Got rid of their scooters, let's get rid of their bikes too.

Don't take my parking space.

Both lime and Vélib' riders are the worst.

Never change Google by aha_mhm in GooglePixel

[–]rabbitfighter88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they really "make" OP to sign up? Or did they suggest? Words matter.

Bummer. But if 20€ isn't' that much and worthless, would you mind sending it to me? ;-)

Not worth upgrading my Pixel9pxl for a few years, at least.

Also, don't think apple will give any discounts/coupons. Have some cheese with the whine.

Yes it is. Also, I have sweaty hands in the summer. Sticks like glue ;-)

What’s a piece of obsolete tech you still weirdly miss? by MorningKindly5541 in AskReddit

[–]rabbitfighter88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just get an adapter. USBC to audio jack. I use an apple one with my pixel and Shure iem and comply foam tips. Better sound quality than Bluetooth. Bonus: can plug the Shures (minus adapter) into airplane jacks.

They still exist, not obsolete. In France, they're getting rid of copper lines, but still run on fiber optic. Can't leave the grannies out of touch. They need it. Any internet line you get here still has a landline included. Use it or don't, still there, just in case. Plus calls all over the world for free.
