Checkmate in TWO moves? How? The quickest I know is four.

"tenets" ... I thought you were giving me housing advice.

Yeah, a bit of an over reaction. I reread your original comment about sauteing and it was not phrased at all as criticism, but as a suggestion. Don't know what provoked that wall of defensiveness.

Isn't that like an ancestrally appropriate thing for Mongolian rulers? Where did he go? Bagdad? Would have thought they'd be proud of him.

Oh no no no ... The younger generation of Australians DON'T eat Vegemite. Consequently, they're growing weak and unhealthy.

Isn't that salsa? That's literally vinegar pickled bruscheta. Well, I guess it's got jalapeno.

Or you talking like a spread made from pickled cucumbers? That sounds a lot like relish.

No... Not at all. "gae" Vs "gahgged". Gay has a hard A, gagged had a soft A. Plus gagged had a 'gg' sound in the middle, and also a D sound at the end. Actually, the only thing they have in common is starting with a G.

Do they sound the same to you?

IIRC putaine (used by the connector above), salope, merde. Basically calling things sluts and whores and saying shit.

I've taken this approach with my kids, and although none are teenagers, I've still never got any kickback. For a while now they will even self report and call me if rubbish comes on. Actually, at this point they'd just change it to something quality themselves. I wonder if the reasons I don't like certain videos has sunk in for them, and they're just not interested in weird stuff now? A couple of them push with computer games though. I'm clear and consistent in allowing no first person shooters yet, but they try to get away with it if they think I'm not paying attention.

Isn't this them fighting? Like, not full blown savaging each other, but a challenge and a display of dominance? You can see that Jumpy looks ready to fight in some of his hops.

... You might be right. He has a weird accent, and if he pronounced the 'a' like an American and swallowed the 'gg' ...

Or maybe that's the secret do defeating the Conservatives? "We can totally make an LNG pipeline to the coast, but ... err ... that would make you all pretty gay."

The French would not say that. They swear, but the religious swears are the domain of the Quebecois. Anyway, surprised the waiter even said, "non." I'm my experience more likely to say they didn't understand you and then ignore you.

Trolls (lemmy.world)
 

I rather randomly picked up the first four books in this series a couple decades ago when I was in France. It was a rather new experience for me as a Canadian to read a graphic novel with adult content. It is funny! I also learned a lot of vernacular and adult French in the process. Plus, I really liked the vibrant art.

The Trolls are awesome.
