Keep in mind most people in France don’t have AC since it’s usually not necessary. It’s gonna be a tough week for us

La France des gens qui ne remettent jamais en questions leurs idées préconçues, c’est beau

Laws of physics? They’re more what you’d call “guidelines” than actual rules

J’ai toujours eu du mal a comprendre la différence profonde entre le principe des tickets restaurants et les gens qui donnent une pièce a des SDF en précisant “C’est pas pour acheter de l’alcool ou de la drogue hein !”.

Je trouve les restrictions du ticket restaurant tellement paternalistes

Voyager adding a cake picture next to your name for this comment is pretty great. Also, happy lemmyversary

Yeah, shower sex might be one of the most overrated things I know. It always feels like a good idea at first and then you quickly realize that the logistics of it are hell

I think Putin’s very glad to see the West tearing itself apart by litteraly covering up a genocide and aiding a war of agression

I work for a retailer and have been loosely involved in a project like that a few years ago.

Basically, it felt like it was mostly a very inexpensive way for the company to get everyone involved feel good about themselves. The free advertising was definitely an argument to get the higher-ups on board, but my impression was that it was kinda secondary compared to the kinda fake good conscience it gave everyone.

There was definitely no tax breaks for that initiative though, so at least in my country that is indeed a myth

You can do it but only once

Wait, when they say “Bob SquarePants” they mean it as an answer to that question? Honestly that seems a bit far fetch, you’re reading into the lyrics too much

On her way to the “How french can you look?” contest

Honestly I don’t think it’s that complicated. I’m convinced he just threw a temper tantrum because his ego couldn’t handle being let go of his position has head of DOGE, and since Trump’s ego is just as big as his things just escalated from there

Ars Technica has always been very upfront about it whenever they cover news related to reddit. It’s certainly not ideal, but Ars Technica remains a very good website for tech news

It’s basically gambling on the nerdiness of the question’s writer. Do they think HTML is a programming language? Do they know that people think it’s a programming language and trying to trap them? Do they know it’s not a programming language but also know most people would think it is one and so are using the common, loose definition of a programming language in order not to trap people?

My brain would melt

From the looks of it, what they’re calculating is a net promoter score. The idea is that, in some context, what you actually want to know is whether your target audience would be willing to actually promote your business to their friends and family or not.

It’s very common in retail and other competitive markets, because a customer that had an “okay” experience could still go to a competitor, so only customers who had a great experience (7+ out of ten) are actually loyal, returning clients.

Don’t know if that’s the best method to gather impressions on workplace environment though, I don’t think many people would consider their workplace “amazing”

Not sure whether it means something else in English, but in french a vernissage is the first opening of an art exhibition

Hey, I’ll let you know that I’m a judgmental asshole and I happen to be french, but I don’t hate the world, only the parts that aren’t french

Oh, I couldn’t find words to describe it to my friends but “digital art student Summer projects” is exactly what it looks like!

So it’s more like “female cat, I farted”

I remember the “They hate us for our freedom” line from the bush-era. I was still a kid at the time and I clearly remember asking my parents about it because it seemed like such a weird thing to say.

Of course, as a french kid, this was also the time when I kept seeing Americans on TV pouring wine in the sewers and calling us surrender monkeys because we refused to join the Irak war, so that might have influenced me a bit
