In German, if someone is too stiff, not wanting to have fun, not spontaneous enough, too much a stickler for the rules, we say: “get that stick out of your arse”

Tetris is about trying to fit into a society, that wants to destroy you.
Space invader is about uniting all of earth’s peoples against a common challenge.
Pong is about the heated but honest exchange of ideas that makes a democracy stronger.
(/jk I agree with you)

Have you ever experienced not being French in France?
Yes. And always have they been nice and helpful to me. When they sensed that I was stuck with my french, they tried to switch to English. Which wasn’t better than my french, but hey, who’s counting.
Have you ever experienced the French in their (former) colonies, how they act towards the locals?
No. And I respect that the perspective from (former) colonies can be quite negative.
Have you ever experienced a French tourist in a different country, being angry because not everyone speaks French?
No, not ever. I have heard tourists speaking french here and there, but no notable occurrences.
I doubt you are French
I’m not.

Laughing about the “Fr*nch” without knowing why is an uneducated American thing.
As you are probably Swedish or German, I expect more informed jokes than just >hatred towards France, the French people [etc.]

Sad. I was hoping these uncreative, racist jokes wouldn’t appear under this comment.
At least make a joke about things the french do or say, then it would be racist but funny.

What do you mean? Are one’s native language and the validity of one’s opinion connected?
- Comment on Not the worst offender 1 month ago:
Just fyi, in French orthography it is correct to put a space before a question mark. So please don’t disregard comments here on international lemmy, since i.e. phone keyboards put it there automatically.

I learned that as a child from my mum, so it seemed basic knowledge to me. But I guess, Americans don’t use scales that much.
Most recipes say 100g per serving (1/5 pound) but it’s best to know your individual needs.

Back on the old site on one of those text based subreddits there was a question posted:
Would you rather have free WiFi wherever you go, or any apple product you wish at any time.
My (then unrotted) brain was like: mmh WiFi everywhere is good, but apple cake, apple pie, apple sauce, apple spritz, apple cider, apple strudel, dried apples… Yeah I’m going with apple products

The phone rings, that’s the knock. You can hang up for many reasons. Maybe it’s the culture of 100% availability that’s wrong, and not phoning.
- Comment on I'll care when I work for a co-op that is equally owned by all the workers. 2 months ago:
You don’t finance it, you take a loan from a bank on the company. If the company folds, it goes bankrupt, not you. You don’t take anymore risk than the other workers.
If the company is dead, you’re still a human and now just another worker on the job market. You don’t go to jail for going bankrupt.

- Comment on Learning a new language is easy! 3 months ago:
Ah thanks, I googled it quickly and it gave me both (as titles on webpages, not like in a dictionary). But with the number of spelling mistakes on shopping sites, I shouldn’t have trusted the titles alone :)

The other commenters have already explained it diligently, but I wanted to hop on for something related.
As a German speaker, it actually irritates me a little, that English doesn’t agglutinate. Let’s take the word “gum ball machine”.
Which is it? It’s a machine. So are “gum” and “ball” descriptors of “machine”? Well no, they’re all nouns. But they’re not all subjects or objects of a sentence. They’re one subject together. But they’re not written together.
If I had a red gum ball machine, is it a red machine made out of gum that produces balls? Ok, it can also be spelt gumball machine. But that’s still multiple words per concept.
I like my nouns to be one word if it’s one thing and one subject.
- Comment on Learning a new language is easy! 3 months ago:
No, it’s literally not. It is “tool” or “gadget”. Not just any object or dingsbums.
Zeug used to mean something different back in the day.

“Ongezellig” is dutch and means “unsociable”.
It’s a story about three adoptive sisters Maya, Coco and Mymy. It’s in dutch, but the subtitles are great.

You should watch “Ongezellig”, an animated pilot with 5 short episodes á 5 minutes.
You will get the relevance to this comment in the first episode.
