  • I miss you <3

    (Seriously you're better off without them!)

    What drug do you wish you were rich in?

    Jump

  • Alcohol, I'd open a bar and then I'd have money to buy whatever drugs I want. Probably weed.

  • I'm super cute, generally a mess, and emotionally unavailable.

    I'm definitely my type.

  • Led is the past tense of the verb "to lead".

    Led is a homophone of lead (the metal) whereas lead is a homograph of lead (again, the metal).

  • Technically, it is a homonym. Homonyms are separated into two categories, homophones (sound the same but spelled differently, such as they're/their/there) and homographs, which are spelled the same but have different meanings, such as lead (the metal) and lead (the verb).

  • In French, usually selfies. The Québéc French Language Office (OQLF) proposes "égoportrait" but I've only ever seen that used very rarely in more formal written contexts.

  • Donald Trump sends election message to Canadians: "cherished 51st State"

  • Fuck off with this bullshit. If Canada gets annexed, any hint of US democracy will already have been dead and buried.

  • Bret Hart - You're dereferencing a null pointer!

  • I had to know the context for this so I looked it up, it's from a marketing promo for the 1995 WWF WrestleMania arcade game. The whole video just screams 1990s.

  • You almost never hear someone tell a good joke about steaks. It really is a rare medium well done.

    I knew a fortune teller, she was rather short but she told me a great joke about steak. Unfortunately, she went missing a while ago and no one knows where she is.

    She's just a small medium at large now.

  • Anyone got some good replacement swears to replace the typical religious variety?

    Jump

  • If anyone wants an example of Québecois swearing, I recommend checking out Lorembarnak. It's lorem ipsum but tabarnak-ified.

  • Somewhere in the multiverse, someone enjoys the latest GPT developments..

  • I just took an edible and it's starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out.

    Getting stoned and getting the magic rocks in my homelab to do my bidding is one of my favourite ways to use up my time on this Earth.

  • Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10

    Jump

  • looks like their product is intended to feel as close to Microsoft as possible

    Maybe that's why they picked a name really easy to mistake for another office software suite, to mimic Microsoft's atrocious naming schemes :P

  • blind brothers and sisters

    No gender-neutral language for our non-binary siblings? For shame, comrade.

  • Does non francophone improv theatre also uses convention inspired by hockey ?

    Jump

  • This comment reminded me, I have met some people who played in a French/German improv league (LIBER). They're based in Berlin and perform in both French and German. I'm not sure how they incorporate both languages, but I believe it's just a free-for-all, speak what you want, answer in whatever type situation.

  • Je ne m'attendais pas de voir un thread au sujet de l'impro sur Lemmy!

    The improv match format you're referring to is pretty much exclusively mostly a thing in the Francophone scene. L'impro-match, or l'improvisation gravelienne, or l'impro style LNI started in the 70s' in Québec out of the experimental theatre scene in Montréal, before spreading to other French-speaking countries.

    The closest I've found on the Anglo side of things is stuff like theatresports or the Canadian Improv Games. There are similarities but the hockey theming is absent and the formats vary in multiple ways.

    EDIT: I found this improv league in Spanish in Argentina who follow the same format with a direct link to the OG Ligue Nationale d'Improvisation. Like I mentioned in a reply to another comment here, there's also LIBER in Berlin, who play in both French and German. When the referee reads the theme card, they specify if the improv will be in French, German, or a mix of both.
