This recently happened in my campaign.

We were fighting a dragon, and it kept flying around its lair, making it very hard for my Barbarian to hit it. We ultimately won, but 3 of the party of 5 died.

Later, while dividing loot, I saw that I had been carrying a Potion of Flying the whole time, and the fight probably would have gone better if I had used it.

You're right, they don't.

The ones beginning with "d" generally translate as "of the," while the "à" ones generally translate as "to the" or "at the."

French has three words that mean "the": "le" (masculine), "la" (feminine), and "les" (plural).

I had an surprising one, actually: I went to a private religious school, but I had a strangely comprehensive sex education.

It started with unvarnished discussions of human anatomy and cautions about sexual abuse around age 8, and then moved on to the basics of (hetero)sexuality by the time I was a preteen. In high school that continued, though talk about birth control was postponed until the health units of later physical education courses, which not everyone took. Of course, the stress was always that sexual activity should be limited to monogamous (heterosexual) marriage, and there was no mention of anything outside of the hetero-normative.

The last wrinkle was that it was all opt-out. At every point, there was at least one person who would leave the room for the duration of the class because their parents really didn't want them learning about naughty bits.

So it ended up actually providing a pretty good foundation. It was still incomplete and biased, but a lot better than what you would expect when you hear "private religious school."

I've been cautioning people as well. Right-wing politics aren't unpopular in Canada, it's just that the the centrist voters got spooked my Trump.

No one should bet on another miracle for the next election. The best case scenario may be that the PC wing retakes control of the federal Conservatives and we just get a raft of deregulation and privatization without all the culture war grievances.

Anyone else bothered by the grammar in the first panel? Or is it just me?

Yeah, they are in different ridings, though they are adjacent.

I was thinking Flagpole Sitta, but that works too

Or a 90s indie song.

Originally from hockey legend Gordie Howe. He was famous for using his elbows aggressively, among other things.

It's been recently adopted by Canadians as a rallying slogan against American economic warfare.

If I can't find a Canadian version of a product, I look for Mexico next.

Help your neighbours, everyone.

I'd be interested to see the full breakdown, if only to find out how different my tastes are from the average lemmy.ca user. I nominated four songs, and I wouldn't be surprised if one received zero points because I didn't even vote for it.

I did have Fake Friends at the top of my French list, though.

That's a sea border, but the idea is the same.

In fact, the distance between the shores of Newfoundland and St. Pierre and Miquelon is shorter than the width of the English Channel at the Straits of Dover (25km vs 34km).
