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.

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.

Get a carbon monoxide detector

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

"This" comments (on Reddit and Lemmy) are not a bad thing. An upvote is supposed to promote valuable content, not necessarily stuff you agree with. A "this" shows agreement. These are different things, and hunting down the "this" promotes the "upvote to agree, downvote to disagree" mentality.

(For example I said "this" to one comment on this thread, which was an unpopular opinion I agreed with. I upvoted plenty of other opinions I found interesting (and actually unpopular) while not necessarily agreeing with them.)

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.

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

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

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 ?

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.

Indeed, as I clarified under another comment

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

First year undergrad math : "Forget everything about how you did math in high school, that's not real math. Now let's start from the basics with an intro fo proofs."

You have 3.6 million dollars ? That's rich !

"Rule #1. It's forbidden to tell the rules of Mao.

Rule #2. There are two exceptions to rule #1, which are rule #1 and rule #2."

This is how Mao was introduced to me. Very fun game

(Actually I watched an ongoing game of Mao before I joined the party and started playing. As I was watching the game I understood a rule and said it out loud, not knowing I wasn't supposed to say the rules. This, of course, granted me a penalty at the beginning of my first game.)

In France that would be the north (Hauts-de-France)

There are also people who do not fall into that category yet still get called Nazis by political opponents.

The poop post and your advertisement campaign stopped by a strike have to be there

Or, ironically, looking right in the middle of the canvas. (Though you could have ended up in r/save3rdfartyapps).

My first thought was De Funès/Bourvil, but that works too

16 June 2023 - my account appears newer than that because I switched instance.

When creating reddit account got randomly generated username and couldn't change username. After 2.5 years using username got used and attached to username and when moving to lemmy decided to keep same username.

cat-I-farted

Only French speakers will get that one. Bonjour !

A good video I found on the topic : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=68H1H6Z_gz4

Only 2.5 years here, I'm the younger redditor

So, you prefer letting those who stayed on reddit running the canvas with those "fuck spez"'s that will do absolutely nothing against Reddit traffic ?

And ofc germans

Good luck "letting the event fall flat" when 99% of users are still on Reddit. Advertising lemmy on r/place seems more helpful towards the migration.

I came here to suggest that. Already suggested it in the black company discord and the place join lemmy matrix, seems like the idea is picking up on the place join lemmy matrix

That's in another community.

Reminds me of that app in which I had to pay something, but if I left the app while doing the transaction (for example, to validate the transaction with my bank app for 2FA) it would cancel the transaction. I literally couldn't pay without either using two devices or an alternate 2FA method (where the bank would send me a code by SMS - this worked because the SMS would trigger a notificztion from which I could read the code without leaving my app.)

I don't know what Plato is either.

Your translation is correct btw although I'd translate it as "games and group chats" but it can mean both. And indeed "Chats" can mean cats but doesn't here
