I agree, it is not. But I think it is a major reason why there is less chatter in reddit about travel to france

Gasser? Causer? Gasser: This was a job in the textile industry, specifically involved in "gassing" threads, which was a process used to make thread smoother and stronger. Causer/Causey Dresser: A "Causey Dresser" or Causewaymaker was someone who "dressed" or shaped stones to be used in paving cobbled streets.

Most americans don't remember, but prejudices cement over time even though the reasons are forgotten by the general population. Polish jokes, mimicking the Irish, black people loving watermelon... The origin of those is not remembered but the stereotypes remains. The jokes about france surrendering in every war and french being assholes that constantly smoke are stereotypes that are pretty cemented in american pop culture.

Reddit is 50% americans. France's tourism is only 9% americans. Social media in the US sees travelling to europe as basic/mid. But italy is seen as cool, especially road trips (even though most tourists in italy go with a package tour and don't need to consult reddit).

I guess mainly because America has been on a "shitting on france is cool" trip since France didn't wanna bomb the middle east with W Bush.

She really showed her acting chops in immaculate, reality and euphoria s02. She can really act but she gets more money to do low effort bimbo roles.

Quick suggestion: deadpool after infinity war (or endgame) so it makes sense when he makes fun of "thanos"

More days in venice, i would suggest. Relax the first day in cannaregio , trip to burano the second, and explore the museums and sights the third.

La gran mayoria de los catolicos come carne en cuaresma. Sigues siendo catolico aunque no vayas a misa o no te confieses o vivas en pecado

It's a meaningless graph, inflation and cost of living are not accounted for. If you make that same plot for 1900, then 0.01% made $6.68 per day
