I played the second late and then the third. I think it simplified too much some parts of the gameplay to please the mass, but the atmosphere and writing are still really good.

Try to follow at least the WHO recommendation of 30 min of moderate exercise per day on average. Maybe you can consider this budget and balance it over your week depending on how busy you are.

Maybe it is interchangeable sometimes, but English people would rather point at the UK, while Anglo-Saxons often abusively refers to UK plus majorly white former British colonies, USA, Canada, Australia and New-Zealand.

Always seen the compote ones around Paris, what’s your region?
- Comment on Anon thinks the French are posers 4 weeks ago:
The typical beignets aux pommes are made with apple compote (apples slowly cooked in a pan with a bit of water until they become liquid).

Yeah, I think so too, Japan does the same with food and luxury shops.
- Comment on Anon thinks the French are posers 4 weeks ago:
The article states hypothesis and guesses, it doesn’t seem to provide a definitive answer.
Its conclusion, machine translated:
In the first two chapters, we talked about the unlikely birth of the deep-fried potato, the result of a marriage between the potato, a popular vegetable par excellence, and cooking in a fat bath, reserved for high society. Where could this marriage have taken place? In a well-to-do kitchen with a fine frying pan? Impossible, as we saw earlier. Potatoes have no place there. In the home of the poor potato-eating bastard? Impossible too. They don’t have enough fat.
Isn’t the answer to this question to be found in the streets of Paris, where in the 18th century, itinerant merchants carried their frying pans filled with dubious grease, into which they plunged meats and vegetables smeared with doughnut batter? Or is it to be found in a rotisserie with more extensive equipment? It’s a tempting hypothesis. As we know, the fried potato has spread through commerce. Wasn’t it born there? Is it not a purely commercial product? The inventor of the French fried potato will probably always remain anonymous, but we can guess his trade: a merchant. We can also guess his origin: Parisian.

For the record, nobody in France call French fries or French toast “French”. We’re definitely happy to attribute the fries to our Belgian friend and nobody thinks something as ubiquitous as toasts could have a single inventor. I think those are Anglo-Saxon cultural elements.

Look what the French did when the government came for their pensions.
For the record we did get it down from 65 to 64, but we still got +2 years.

I feel like people are interpreting your comment with an American view. As a fellow European I agree, NGOs like Greenpeace are also to blame, and I don’t think those are financed by fossil fuel lobbies.

So you’ve been promoted to a management position.
- Comment on Anon falls through the cracks 5 weeks ago:
If we ignore the actual stress of a manager suddenly finding out and asking you to report what you have been doing. Probably still possible to bullshit long enough in a big company to rextover your position or find another job.

Come down and read again. The person said social disqualification as opposed to judicial conviction, and I’m saying social disqualification being vague could lead to eadier abuse by the political power.
