How is it so hard to find parties and politicians who both defend trans rights and oppose genocide? That shouldn't be that hard. If anything it goes hand in hand.

If you have to be a "I want to speak to a manager" about a cake at least make sure you discuss with the baker about exactly what you want and what is your vision instead of sending an "inspo" photo and be disappointed they didn't copy it completely.
Puck the tall hobbit π§β (@r3dleprechaun.bsky.social)
Sometimes I think I am too trash for the internet. Seing a mum complaining that the baker added some glitter and pearls on her 4yo twins cake because it has to "fit the esthetic for both boy and girl" is just too much for me. It's 4yo, they'll be fine even if the cake is not instagramable.

Is it ideal to paint wood with acrylic paint? No, but you can't pop to the shop to impulse buy wood paint in the middle of the night because you suddenly decided it was time to do the DIY project you have been procrastinating about for weeks. So I guess I need to find some varnish or something.

Oh, definitely! I might be wrong but it feels it was mainly middle ages w/ the nobility still actively speaking french and a bit of modern era with fashion.

I am sorry, I am not over "I am very encouraging of flag". Beyond all the political ridiculousness and evil of trying to get the vote of bigoted racists, who will never vote for you, it's just such a silly thing to say. These people are telling us they are the professional adults in the room.

I think back-to-school is ugly and clunky. It's rare that English is the one with the long clunky expression and French has the one easy to use and versatile word but in this case yeah rentrΓ©e is SOOOO much better.

The thing with logic is that it's based on value hierarchies that you can disagree on. Thinking logic is just being a cold racist asshole just shows what your inherent unquestioned hierarchy of values are. And frankly it's not reflecting well on you.

Sarek in TNG was charming in his own way too. Logic doesn't mean heartless. Vulcan came up with IDIC and Spock sacrificed himself to save the crew. And logic can tell you that cooperation, crew morale and not always adhering to strict interpretation of rules can yield good results.
Puck the tall hobbit π§β (@r3dleprechaun.bsky.social)
I saw a scene from SNW and I got pissed all over again. Why do Vulcans (Spock included) act like they're robots? Leonard Nimoy never played Spock as a robot. He was refusing to use emotional language and spoke evenly but he was still warm and not ar.ti.cu.la.ting. e.ve.ry sy.la.ble

Some of it can have good use (like the fall monitors allowing old people to continue living on their own) some are trash for the environment and/or social fabric (see tractor example, concentrating farming in the hands of few big investors and destroying local environment)

If you need some sleeping surveillance for whatever health reason it's going to be a black box on your night stand or a bracelet. Farming automation is going to be a GPS controlled fleet of tractors going through giant mono-culture fields...

Also the idea that the future of automation is one human shape robot doing everything is a bit laughable I think. Like the image one of these guy shared with a rabbit watching you sleep or a robot hand cutting wheat field. The truth is, automation will be several specific machines not human shaped

It's not true that all of France stops during the summer and we don't work for two months. Most people take one or two weeks off. But yes there is a slowing down and some things do close. The parliament is not in session during the summer (but the MPs works, they're just not debating and voting)

In general early septembre period can be called "la rentrΓ©e" as many things go back to normal and normal time tables and somehow it feels someone changed the light filter from "sunny summer movie" to "drab grey"

The government coming back from there summer vacation and announcing the new year program is called rentrΓ©e gouvernementale or rentrΓ©e ministΓ©rielle. Every year publishers get out there shiny new books and there is a whole thing around it in the media. We call it "rentrΓ©e littΓ©raire"

I guess it would be closer to the original if it was just "sauver le soldat Ryan" but it's a clunky title form in french.
Puck the tall hobbit π§β (@r3dleprechaun.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah sure if you translate word by word literally everything sounds bad. But that's why translator is a work that needs training. Different languages phrase things differently and "private" as a military rank wouldn't really resonate with a french audience.
Puck the tall hobbit π§β (@r3dleprechaun.bsky.social)
I saw an insta post in which a Brit made the other one guess a film by giving his french title (some of them were the Canadian one) and it was funny. But the guy commenting "can we talk about we have to save the soldier Ryan'" pissed me off. Il faut sauver le soldat Ryan is a good translation.
