But are you as ashamed as Shinji, is what I wonder. I can’t believe I got the ref, though. I’m not even a fan of the show but that scene was so out of nowhere…

Unless you bought something, then you get the exact item in your ads too. Because hey, we know you liked that book! Why don’t you want another copy of it, uh?

I love that my kids actually does not do that and sticks stuff anywhere they can. With age they understand some surfaces are off limits so as to not damage them, but my windows and light switches never stood a chance…

The time in life where you’re most likely to experience sexuality and get laid. And instead you spend it exploring sexuality with a loved one. I mean… it could have been worse.

“The bond is broken, I said!” You can’t unspeak the words.
- Comment on If you speak a second language better than your native language, would you describe your second language skill as "native" or "fluent"? 1 month ago:
I just describe it as “bilingual level”, because fluent is often used but can represent a range of levels depending on how demanding you are.
For me, fluent is what I’d describe someone who’s studied well and can live only speaking the target language. They may have a crappy accent, make mistakes but they know they can express their ideas and be understood and generally don’t search for words.
I’d use “native level”, but that can be a bit misleading too.
And so, that’s why we have exams/diploma with levels and such.
If someone tells you they have a C2 level diploma in French, I assure you that their command of French is worthy of respect even for a native French person.If I tell you I have HSK3/4 even in Chinese, you know I’m nowhere near fluency, despite how well I can fake it with what little I do know! :P

- Comment on Anon has a unique origin story 2 months ago:
One of the first Irish guys I met in Ireland was the son of French teacher. He had been born while she was working in Africa (I forget which country) and so spoke absolutely fluent French, but with the thickest of African accents. Chatting with him was a delight, but also a constant struggle between my respect for him and complete hilarity.

Right, but you are under the impression that companies want to keep those. My personal experience is that they just don’t give a fuck. At. All.

I’ll be honest, it’s been years since I’ve enjoyed a friture so I’m not positive the ones I had were specifically goujons or what. But the texture is divine, like nice chips and pretty much the same size, with a nice butter / lemon sauce. Dammit now I miss it!

Ireland is the only place where pubs are actual genuine places to meet and chat with strangers. And even then it can be difficult. Came back to France after 13 years and I was just flabbergasted at the difference. Everyone is out with their little group and no one seems to talk with anyone outside that little sphere. Only spot where it’s socially acceptable to engage strangers is the counter itself and that’s about it; and if you do it feels like you’re a freak, honestly. I tried a few times to just meet people that way, and gave up.
Only way that worked for me was joining a hobby or sport or some other group like that. Volleyball got me a job within like two weeks of joining! Couchsurfing got me great friends, girlfriends and eventually my wife.

I still have no idea where they got that “goujon” shit from. I only learnt the word in my twenties when I lived in Ireland. Only seen it in France except as a tiny fish which you can eat (by the dozen) fried and it’s fantastic.
The chicken one, we just call them aiguillettes (“needlets”)
- Comment on Anon loves sunny days 3 months ago:
The trick is to wear one layer that’s gonna absorb the sweat and another layer for looking good. Bamboo fibre wifebeater with colourful short sleeve shirts got me through 45+ °C 90% h. no bother.
I’m writing this because I started with just the shirt, and two layers seems counter intuitive, but it’s actually a lot more comfortable and better looking (fewer sweat stains)

Never thought about it this way, since I’ve never used dating apps. That makes sense, though. Thanks for the insight.
And I agree about unconscious choices; that’s why I mentioned small girls with huge guys. The stereotype is so common, yet rarely, when I asked, were the girls even aware of it. My money has always been on daddy issues for this particular one.
