Prime example of how boomers lack media literacy skills.

I can’t do any of the stuff you mentioned. I’m here because I hate traditional social media that are not social at all. And I hate ads. And have an interest in community driven stuff and DIY.

And I don’t feel like I am alone here.

The numbers four and five (quatre, cinq) are pronounced like ‘cat’ and ‘sank’ in informal spoken French.

I’m fine with it if women are allowed to be polygamous as well.

I had tidal for about a year and was happy with it. Sound quality is nice, app is clean, tidal connect is nice. Recommendations were not great and discovering new music I liked was a bit of a chore.

I have qobuz now (had it in the past too, for a while). App is more to my taste, very little clutter. Qobuz connect is now here and it works, so I can stream music over wifi to my stereo system. Finding new music is a lot better than spotify or tidal (imho) Recommendations are better, the magazine and editorial stuff is super nice and they have one simple feature that makes a world of difference to me: you can click on the record label of albums and see what else is on that label. So simple, but it’s by far my favourite way of finding new stuff.

Portraits were often made beforehand, save for the face. It cut down the time needed for posing drastically. And often the faces were done by the master, the rest by students in his workshop. Perhaps this is what happened here, they just never got round to the posing part.

Reminds me of this painting in Bruges: https://www.museabrugge.be/collection/work/id/0000_gro0401_i The face of the guy next to Napoleon was painted well before the rest of the work and then literally cut and pasted in to the new painting. You can still see the square.

Better to prepare those boys for all of the ass-whoopings women will serve them in their future professional careers, no?

I think the devs have a pretty healthy attitude, really. Sure, they take their sweet time, but I prefer that over half-assed rush jobs and selling out. The last updates were also absolutely great and the game gets better and better. It’s in early access since forever, but it is more balanced, polished and refined than 90% of fully released games out there. And it doesn’t feel hollow after twenty hours either. It will keep fucking you up, even after hundreds of hours. It’s an absolute gem and I don’t really care if it takes them three more years to finish it…

No. This is not a "creative" way to nudge us towards the store. Definitely not. It's just the type of monetization every gamer has been secretly yearning for, right?

Policies that are too welcoming to expats with high incomes and foreign remote workers that like sunny weather and cheap everything.

Also: air b&b’s and cheap ryanair flights

Qobuz is also French.

Filters like britta make your coffee or tea taste nicer and you barely have to decalcify your machine or kettle.

But healthier? Never seen any study that proves it (it would be nearly impossible to really make any claim stick, because tap water varies quite a lot across regions and countries)

It's so desperate.

On a slightly related note: could any US lemmings tell me why non-catholic christians in the US are so involved with the pope?

I have a friend from KY who went to Rome and everything. I asked her why, since she’s protestant, and she genuinely did not understand the question. Her entire family was praying for the pope. And they are methodists?

I have some catholics in my family and they would not bat an eye if the patriarch of Constantinople died. They consider orthodox Christians or protestants as a different religion.

'Nonante' is used in the French-speaking part of Belgium, but it's generally frowned upon in France.

I see tactical sandals, I upvote.

It’s a great app and it really does help to avoid waste, but… I know a few businesses that went from donating their leftovers to charities for the poor to selling them through TGTG, because that way, they still make some money off of it.

Maybe the economy is transforming their choice on whether to have children or not. 🤔

Literally hundreds of thousands of players are proving him/her wrong as we speak.

It’s about to be ‘Dodge rammed in the Netherlands’
