Didn’t the japanese flip the fuck out when assassins Creed had some missions inside japanese temples because it was sacrilegious? Seems a bit hypocritical.

Could make a decent short film yeah.

Yes it needs a different phrasing, something like “everything I say becomes truth”.

Yeah I love a good full English but this ain’t it…

Honestly I’m kinda thinking the chick came up with the idea.

Sometimes?

I get why you’re being downvoted, but there’s definitely a wee bit of truth in there…

Yep I know about it from American media but never seen this done anywhere else that I know of (and I know how to type T9).

No, that’s Bowling With Soup.

That’s pretty cool, I hope we can visit it soon.

Beyond his interest in FOSS and privacy, he’s also just mellowed out a ton, the dude is in his mid (late?) thirties and you can tell.

Not gonna lie if OP is legit this feels like being one handshake away from legend, like if you met Peter Jackson’s assistant on LOTR or so.

I had a nasty infection on my foot when I was younger, like full on pus-volcano type thing, it looked and smelled terrible. The city I lived in back then was one of the biggest teaching hospitals in the country, when they asked if students could come watch I said sure, of course! Next thing I know there was like a dozen of them in my room, taking turn prodding the pus-volcano with a stick, cleaning it out (extreme pain), and just overall commenting on it and leaning over it super close. I’m glad I helped their education but damn was it awkward especially since I was about the same age as them at the time if not a bit younger if I recall.

That’s a nice obscure reference there, lots of interesting trivia around that film and as a french living in NL, sounds like I should watch this. Looks pretty janky though haha.

Yeah these days the standard on the toilets have gone way up (and stayed free, looking at you Belgium/NL), TBH for me even the unmanned ones are okay in case of emergency, it’s more that these stops lack a simple row of vending machines imo so I only use them if I really just need a quick bio break, they could be so much better as a more nature/calm alternative to the ones with shops.

The big stations along “autoroute du soleil” have been huge for a while though, at least since my childhood over 30 years ago. Beaune, Montélimar, etc.

In France there’s some really nice gas stations on some of the popular highways. In the summer there’s so many tourists going on vacation through these that some of them even set up temporary art exhibitions or special activities like bouldering, bow&arrows, etc. I remember doing my first “dive” in a special water cube on the parking lot of Montélimar’s station when I was a kid, good times. Of course none of that is even remotely similar to putting a beaver themed slop-shop and calling it a day, the shops mostly just sell local products and the usual essentials.

I’m probably wrong but it looks pretty similar to some machines I’ve seen that are used to work vineyards in France, the 50 max speed sticker also fits with Europe.

I lost 35kg within 8 months by going hardcore on controlling my diet. I did have to eat more once I started exercising, which I needed to because all the muscle was melting away right along the fat. It definitely works, but I did “fall off the wagon” once I stopped counting the calories. Now I’m trying to find that long term balance of sport and diet I can maintain in the long run.

I just meant, they are exactly as mean online as they are in real life, it’s not that they’re particularly mean just direct and no filter so less of a difference.
