In 10 years the poop post will be up there remembered as one of the legendary old asklemmy posts

Math (I'm a graduate student). And "exponentially more experienced than the average" means nothing as exponential is a progression, not a comparison between two values.

In France, it is illegal to name your pig Napoleon.

Knowledge is power, France is bacon.

Yeah, back before I used uBlock, when I would missclick and see it's loading an alb.reddit.com url, I would immediately hit the back button before it has time to redirect me to the ad.

Lemmy, June 2023 : "thankfully we don't have AutoModerator here"

Lemmy, August 2023 :

In French we have a similar problem. Currently the most popular form is "citoyen.ne.s" or "citoyen.nes" (besides the good old "citoyens" or "citoyennes et citoyens"), which sometimes gets rendered as a website by some text displayers (e.g. les habitant.es). It's technically supposed to be a middle dot (citoyen·ne·s) but nobody has that on their keyboard (I literally had to copy-paste it from wikipedia) so people use the point instead. We used to use parentheses like "citoyen(ne)s" but these have vastly be replaced by the dots.

Ils seraient prêts à voter pour une chèvre tant qu'elle est encartée RN. Dans ma circo on avait même pas la tête ou le nom de la candidate sur la profession de foi...

(En fait, j'ai de plus en plus l'impression qu'il y a deux types d'électeurs : ceux qui seraient prêts à voter n'importe qui sous l'étiquette RN, et ceux qui seraient prêts à voter n'importe qui contre le RN. On est pas rendus...)

Same. Now leaving Reddit again

Why do I know the exact post you're thinking of when you say that ?

I never got very close to death but my dad did. Four times.

(The first two were before I was born, so I can only tell from what he told us.)

First one was when he was 4. He fell into a big hole in a circus. He lost audition from his right ear in the accidentt. To this day, he still can only hear from his left ear.

Second one was after graduating high school. Excited from his graduation, he crossed a road on the way back home without paying attention and got hit by a car. Thankfully he hasn't got any long-term sequel from this one. But this served as a lesson, always pay attention when crossing the road.

Third one was during a holiday with all the family 7-8 years ago. He was paragliding when he hit a tree and fell from the height of the tree. Broke an arm and couldn't use it for months after that. He was supposed to drive us back home at the end of the holiday, instead we got back home by taxi. No long-term sequel for him after either.

Fourth one was at the beginning of 2019. It was late in the evening when his vision from the left eye started getting blurry. He called the emergency service and, as during the call he had struggle finding his words, they sent an ambulance. It turned out he had a stroke. Had he thought he was just getting tired and gone to sleep that night, he might not have seen the next day. The day after we tried talking to him, but he was only responding with gibberish. He eventually mostly recovered, but is still sleepier than before his stroke to this day.

TIL about the origin of « Tu vas te faire appeler Arthur »

Iirc the illegible signature part was debunked as it was a reference to some nazi group whose signature was "illegible" (don't quote me on that, i'm recollecting from memory). But the Sims 3 cards was at some NotTheOnion levels of ridiculousness.

Maybe you're aromantic ? Though that depends on what you mean by "in love with a girl who doesn’t exist" - are you in love with an actual fictional girl or just not in love with anyone ?

Does getting paid still counts as "sans coercion" though ?

Blue pill, redoing school and all for years before getting any further in your life would be way too boring

Tbh I know little about the topic and was under the (maybe wrong) impression than many sex workers are poor people that need to do it to survive. But then I guess the issue I was pointing is more about our capitalist society than about sex work
