When you realize that Crocodile Dundee is basically a retelling of Tarzan’s New York Adventure, it’s a lot more fun.

American “Left”: maybe we shold do some student debth relif? Just a tini-tiny. If you don’t mind.

Rest of the world right: universal education, more funding!

Rest of the world center: universal education, state must provide students with everything(including housing and food) so they don’t worry about anything else other than learning, state must provide teachers with everything(including decent salary) so they don’t wory about anything else other than teaching, state must provide universities with all necessary equipment, buildings must be maintained in good condition(so ceiling wouldn’t fall on students’ and teachers’ heads)!

Thats not actually a pipe though.

That’s a foam-and-fiberglass toy, usually used in (post-apocalyptic) Live-Action Role Play, or LARP, as a weapon or “boffer” to smack other players without actually breaking their bones in real life.

Specifically, this is the Calimacil Neo.

What I think is hilarious is when conservatives call Joe Biden of all people the radical left.

As another comment points out, there is a mistake with the second sentence.

The word combination works but it does not contradict the first negation.

Ceci n’est pas une pipe = This is not a pipe

C’est une pipe = It’s a pipe

What you want is to simply remove the negative “n’ + pas”.

Ceci est une pipe = This is a pipe

With other examples…

Ceci est un garçon = This is a boy

Ceci n’est pas un garçon = This is not a boy

C’est une fille = It’s a girl

Ceci est une fille = This is a girl

Ceci n’est pas une fille = This is not a girl

Ceci est un commentaire = This is a comment

Ceci n’est pas un commentaire = This is not a comment

C’est simple n’est-ce pas? = It’s simple is it not?

Asafum,

Wait wait wait… So I only know a small amount of French and mostly from media I’ve watched, so unless I’m mixing words here when I’ve heard “garçon” (pronounced garsonne?) in a restaurant, they’re literally calling the waiter “boy?”

Hazmatastic,

You are correct. This is mentioned in the opening scene of Pulp Fiction by the way.

Asafum,

Thanks! It’s been such a long time since I watched that, looks like I need to watch it again lol

Indeed. Never gave a second thought to the word but apparently it’s the name of a young male servant. The pronunciation ends with a nasal vowel as there is no trailing “e” at the end. In IPA that’s /ɡaʁ.sɔ̃/. If you say /ɡaʁ.ɔn/ it makes it sound female.

Un patron = male owner

Une patronne = female owner

XEAL, in I'm so good at time management that I hardly work at all

STFU I’m hyperfocused on this stupid script that I can’t get to work and if I don’t finish it I will feel sad and frustrated.

waz, in They are quite different.

Can I just be anti-using-guns-to-dispute-opinions?

Antizionism ≠ opposition to the Israeli politics. One can be Zionist and against this genocide, against colonization, against Netanyahu and for a Palestinian state. Antizionism is an opposition to the right of self determination for the Jewish people, and that’s antisemitic.

Gestrid, in I love those path

Now, I’m wondering if we have a thriving Desire Paths (that’s what these paths are called) community somewhere on here.

I said a thriving community. There hasn’t been a post there in three months.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

FriendBesto,

Don’t know but that sounds like a great idea of one. LOL

A tough question is: which kids parents are richer?

My kid watches Lego videos on their tablet…

adhocfungus,

My kid is obsessed with the Mario sets. Unfortunately almost none of them have physical instructions, so you need to use the LEGO Mario app.

Sometimes I will find him going through the instructions on the iPad for sets we don’t even own. He just likes watching it get built and doesn’t know YouTube is a thing yet.

doesn’t know YouTube is a thing yet.

Hold on to these days for as long as you possibly can. Like 8 hours a day my T.V. is full of children yelling at each other while they play with toys while my kids stare at it, surrounded by all the toys we bought them that they don’t play with.

scrubbles, in Reality is becoming a George Carlin bit
@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

George Carlin knew the world exactly for what it was. He simply held a mirror up to it and we simply laughed at it, because at its core our society is ridiculous.

Wars, racism, hatred, government. All societal things built up because we humans can’t control ourselves, because we’re still just brains swimming in chemical soup dictated by instinct.

I’m not joking when I say he was a modern day prophet.

How about both?
