  • How would you explain to a date that you have an abusive family and you're the only sane person?

    Jump

  • From life of experience, it’s just as you said: without lying.

    You said it here, ‘I have an abusive family, I’m glad I managed to turn out ok but I don’t want them to involve you in their bullshit.’

    And if you don’t want to talk about it just say it as well and leave the door open: ‘I don’t want to talk about it and ruin the day but if you want one day I’ll tell you.’

    I’ve been married for almost 20 years without having met her parents, they didn’t "approve" our wedding and we just didn’t care about it. As long as you are two sane and respectful adults there’s no problems.

  • ‘By humans, for humans’: French dubbing industry speaks out against AI threat.

    Jump

  • We have (or had?) a bad English cursus at school, I don't know if that changed as I have not be at school in a while.

    A somewhat strong culture with enough to read, listen and watch 100% French content in a lifetime, so that doesn't help. And a few remains of rebellion that does not help as well.

    I believe the French dubbing industry is also known for its quality with plenty of talented voice actors. But I heard this from others, I usually consume cinema or tv in the original language.

    You are right that it clearly does not help. I am always annoyed when I see a French speaker crying over Steam forums that x video game does not have a French traduction, just play it in English duh.

    Anyway, we have a perfect dumb science excuse that we love: We cannot speak good English because of our native language frequency. That's it, we can't do shit about it, c'est la vie 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • I speak perfect English and voluntarily keep my French accent cause it gets me laid.

    Also because I'm too lazy to introduce myself or put the fucking emphasis at the correct place, but mostly because of the first reason.

  • The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!

  • Nope nothing about race, the name was just an answer to blackpeopletwitter, which is the same idea. Posting screenshots of funny tweets.

    There’s one here on lemmy !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

    From what I’ve read the sub got ban after mods took time to delete violent comments about DOGE employees. Their names got leaked, peoples started to say dumb shit, often violent. Musk threw a fit about it and Reddit banned the sub.

    Making death threats is obviously a good reason for a ban but apparently the reason Reddit gave (unmoderated sub) was false as there’s screenshots of the post being actively moderated with plenty of deleted messages. But it’s those kind of posts with 18k comments so I guess it was moving too fast for the moderator team.

    I might be wrong, I just read about that from the r/france post our refugees came from. I did not explored in detail as it’s on Reddit and I just don’t care 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • Nice!

    And to answer your last question, yes. Jlailu is having an influx of new users coming mostly from r/France. From what I’ve read they’re coming after the r/whitepeopletweets (or something like that) ban.

  • What's your opinion on mandatory military service?

    Jump

  • I like it for the unifying experience it is. We all do it, it becomes part of our education and gives us the feel of all being Swiss besides our different cultures and languages.

    But seeing every votes results (Röstigraben, cities vs countryside) proves that it is not a huge success 😅

    One thing I don’t like at all is that in order to climb high hierarchy in some companies, you have to be a former military officer, preferably Swiss-German (bonus point if you’ve done a shit economy school).

    When I started learning my job we could do our military service AT work as it was considered to be an essential nation wide security job. I did not profit from this but the deal was to go to work in military uniform, getting your salary paid by the military while continuing to work for your boss. Definitely a win for the company and a huge financial loss for the confederation. They stopped that when they realized it was dumb to pay salaries to people not actually working for you.

  • That’s what I heard as well, the few grenadiers I know told me the same.

    It seems that they are the only ones having to do the usual crap and suffering.

  • What's your opinion on mandatory military service?

    Jump

  • In Switzerland we do mandatory military service or public service if you don’t do the military.

    Both are ok, I only know the military but it’s a good experience. At first you don’t really want to do it but then you have a lot of fun, drink tons of cheap beers and learn to shoot (skill that you have to maintain for several years with mandatory shooting sessions).

    Overall it’s more of a school of life rather than military school. I knew people in the medics and they did jack shit. I was in DCA and did jack shit. Most people I talk to did dumb stuff and most of us have good and funny memories from that time.

    Is this a useful military force? Probably not, but we are Switzerland so who cares?

  • I also didn't think citing a message on something Musk owns as a gesture of emphasis would be seen in an anti-US-politics community as synonymous with supporting Musk.

    It does not, or it should not. It’s more like that Xitter (wordplay of X + twitter + shitter if you didn’t know) has been kind of the worst part of internet for years now, even before Musk. When shit goes bad on internet it’s either 4chan or twitter.

    So it makes sense that the leftist pro libre gang of Linux users we are would hate anything about that website.

    I was only responding to your initial question (which is funny), who is Xitter link?

    I’m pretty sure that posting the same link by using an alternative Xitter interface (like Nitter was but I don’t know them) would have avoid you any backlash on lemmy.

  • It’s not only the salute but other things as well.

    It’s about him being able to do plausible deniability, the salute taken alone could be a mistake from a stressful situation speaking in front of thousands of people, or a badly executed heart gesture, or whatever excuses people are saying.

    But the salute + pepe the frog + kek + plenty of other signs = a trail of shit.

    Separated they are only unimportant signs that those who knows knows, the rest will just dismiss them. But all together they form a message.

    Besides, the salute was debunked by who ? There’s plenty of historians, journalists and whatever in the world saying that it was indeed a nazi salute.

    Hell even US neo nazis said it was a nazi salute, they celebrated it.

  • No one (probably). You used a twitter link.

    Those are morally forbidden in our world, and on several communities as well as written in the rules.
