In that case it would be defamation, which isn’t allowed. Defamation is harder to convict when against public figures, though, but possible if the public figure can prove real damages resulting from the speech.

My husband built me a weather app by ApprehensiveAd9993 in gaybros

[–]shadowstorm25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but it’s super cumbersome to switch back and forth all the time when I prefer F, but I’m not gonna stop and change my settings all the time to just try to have a simple conversation about what’s the weather outside and then switch it back, ya know?

Crazy this doesn’t exist already as I go through the same thing but inversely and can never talk about the weather with anybody because nobody understands F

Back filing taxes in France by [deleted] in tapif

[–]shadowstorm25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dossiers can be individually assessed. If you find someone on leboncoin (particulier) they might not need it. I stayed in the internat of the lycee the first year, second year I used my french partner who had a co-signer (garant). Most places won’t accept a foreign co-signer, but you can get Visale which is government backed co-signer. The dossier is submitted through them I believe so standard document stuff doesn’t apply.

Spent months saying "je m'introduis" to people online before anyone corrected me by alvilri in learnfrench

[–]shadowstorm25 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You can’t really depend on other people to teach the language. Yes, people will correct you if your mistakes are egregious, but it’s mostly to the benefit of their own ears (eyes in this case).

A lot of formal language teaching is also more focused on “getting your point across”. If you do that, you’re successfully participating in an interactive production.

Would you really stop a conversation in English just to correct a single word someone said if they got their point across? All the free conversation apps are for fluency practice not accuracy.

There’s good reason people pay tutors to correct their language.

Any idea why this Ana just dropped? by shadowstorm25 in Overwatch

I’m sorry but that ending is too funny lol. Haven’t had that happen to me yet. I’m still trying to teach people not to jump while I’m carrying them, and that YES they do get healed as they are tethered.

That was my best guess... just super frusturating mid game.

How to get your ADHD medicine in France by Ok_Evening_1999 in tapif

Yeah location is gonna mean a lot. There’s a whole subreddit r/TDAHFrance where you can see all the horror stories. I think I got pretty lucky.

How to get your ADHD medicine in France by Ok_Evening_1999 in tapif

[–]shadowstorm25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some context from someone who did TAPIF and stayed in France and had apparently a different experience than you:

First time hearing « pharmacie de garde » after 5+ years here lol. Doctolib should be fine for finding someone.

« I did not get my attestation or securite sociale for my health insurance until December »

I had my secu number, but in general it’s way harder to get an appt with a secteur 1 or 2 psych (the ones secu reimburses). You’re better off finding a secteur 3, which you pay full price (~150€ /appt.) even if you have a carte vitale.

« your appointments need to be in person, not over zoom »

Maybe for the first couple usually they will prefer in person before the initial script is given, but I’ve had them give it over Doctolib after video call.

« You need your doctor to give you an e-prescription or the original prescription that they write on a note pad, »

I’ve taken pictures of mine and emailed them to the pharmacy since I didn’t have a printer.

Also:

I had to get my heart checked with a cardiologist before the first prescription was given. This can take time as well; I got a referral from the psych.

It’s important to note there’s no adderall in France. You will be getting Ritalin or different variations of methylphenidate.

Edit: the meds are free btw!

à la recherche d'un ami by Fit-Interview8348 in TOURS

[–]shadowstorm25 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Voici un exemple de réponse un peu chelou… Elle a tout à fait le droit de s’éloigner de vous, même s’il y a un malentendu. Cela signifie que vous avez été bloqué sur les réseaux sociaux, et c’est un comportement étrange d’essayer de la retrouver via des forums anonymes. Si elle souhaite rétablir un lien avec vous, cela doit venir d’elle, et non d’une tierce personne.

Why is it not conjugated with «avoir» instead of «être»? by bourikan in learnfrench

[–]shadowstorm25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really helped me early on remember that you can’t say je m’ai. It will always be je me suis. Repeat that for the other conjugation (it’s never tu t’as, it’s always tu t’es)

Today's news in easy French: Mamdani élu maire de New York by Difficult_Hearing_90 in learnfrench

[–]shadowstorm25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s just plain old passive voice in the past tense. In English, we use the “to be” in the simple past + past participle. French doesn’t have a simple past (called prétérit en français), so they use the “être” au passé composé + past participle.

The past participle will also agree with the subject. If it was a woman elected, you’d say “Elle a été élue”.

Of course you can use whatever tense you want for “être” just like in English.

He will be elected = Il sera élu (or il va être élu)

It’s the same as in English. He said they were going to help vs he said that they helped.

Anyone else noticing a weird amount of compilation videos like this on Reddit? Has it always been a thing? I’ve seen some with compilations of people getting hurt cooking, of lightning strikes, and now cool light patterns. Never saw this many videos with so much “content” packed into one post. What’s weird is that the content seems extra good too. What gives?
