Oh, btw, one last thing. When you say "we", you mean.. Who ? Thanks!

I've been thinking about this lately. I'm almost 40 something and I think I really wouldn't like to imperson younger generations lingo for the sake of it being "trendy".
But there are two exceptions for me :
-
It genuinely made me laugh and "weaves well" with my own way of talking. I mean, were not supposed to stop incorporating new words in our language as far as it's not forced, right? My slang comes from the 90s. Certain (small) parts of the newer gens slang fit so well into my own repertoire! I think that's mostly the part which isn't "word building" but "word archeology", like slang from my gen being reinterpreted/reappropriated, which is actually pretty cool.
-
Another funny case. Its happening a lot lately, but some words from my mother's language (she comes from an African country) are surprisingly becoming popular. I never used them before even though I think and talk to myself with them since being a child. I'm hesitating a lot to use them now. It would be easier for me but could really look like "playing cool" which I don't want at all. For additional complexity, add that some of those words, in my mother's/family language have slight differences (like language differences across same-language speaking countries), and when I do use those words, I'm getting corrected by youngsters for slang misuse. I mean it's fair, I don't take it personally, but it's weird.
Ex :
Miskina, in Arab
Maskine, in the weird variant of swahili my mother speaks.
Hmm. Thanks for the info. I might need to have a talk with my psychiatrist.
Hmm. Yes indeed. But can't it.. well..hurt, like physically, even if the sense of self is gone?
What? could you elaborate on that?
Although I find this comment pretty stupid, it's quite hard nowadays to not think : Ok, so US has officially joined the New Axis and is there to stay with widd popular support, because they're now basically the nazis. What happens there is of no importance. What's important is to find the new Allies.
Femboys are you still in the end
Mmh. Yeah. That's a sound point.
95% because they're basically nazis.
puts on prof hat
Well, in some countries, there was indeed historical link between sexual/gender minorities and pedophile advocacy movements (well "movements" is kind of a strong word here) during the 1950s to 1980s. It's hard for us to understand today, but during my studies, I've worked on that topic and met a few people invested in creating or dismantling this link.
But :
- It didn't last for long.
- That's certainly not what they have in mind.
- Most importantly, although public and documented cases exist, those minor parts of the LGBT movements were CERTAINLY NOT the strongest allies of the pedophile advocacy movement. Their strongest allies were actually well.. more probably from the ruling class.
And by lifetime wage, I mean this

Source : am French and have been laughing about this since I was 8yo. Recently read about the prefect response and it's now even better.
Today, I'd like to recommend everyone who likes a deep and tragic story to take a look at A Story Beside.
As a disclaimer, I am not affiliated at all with the studio or promo. None of that. I don't even have a yt channel to promote.
I just happened to play this game 2 years ago and it still haunts me with both joy and sadness.
To make it clear how much I loved it : I played it on the high seas, finished it, knew I was never going to play it again (for me, that's the kind of story based/narrative game you only play once), and still bought it on Steam the day after and bought it for a few friends.
While the gameplay is simple and the gfx are nothing to write home about (rpg maker, my first game of the kind), the story is superb and highly emotional. It has a simple point and click interface (definitely NOT my type of games), choices with heavy consequences and mostly non genderlocked romance, IIRC.
But what cracked my heart the most us the VA. It's beautiful behind words, haunting and powerful. It made me understand how VA is important in a game. Some sentences from this game are still with me to this day and randomly pop in my thoughts.
So do yourself a favor and play this one of these days.. Just make sure you have someone you trust close enough, because it can be really heartbreaking sometimes. Or beautiful. Or happy. Depends on your perspective.
Edit : typo in the title of the post >.<
P. S. : If I had one criticism about this game, it would be that some choices are quite obscure. A little thing you said, did or forgot to do at one point can have cataclysmic consequences later on, and it can be frustrating because back then, you didn't even know you were making a choice. I started blind, got a heartbreaking story event, restarted from the beginning with a guide to avoid the.. err.. bad endings.
Hello everyone I am an avid practitioners of martial arts. Started with Judo and Jiu Jitsu. Then my health and phisical condition degraded due to external causes. I switched to Aikido for three years and now Tai chi chuan, which I am now strongly committing to.
Aside from obvious positive effects (balance and agility) I wonder what you all think about inner martial arts.
I tend to ingest as little taoist folklore as I can, not because I think it's not interesting, but I want to avoid the exotic sounding mysticism tailored to impress westerners as a kind of new age marketing strategy. Fortunately, my teacher is a medical doctor working in the field of work related injuries.
I know I love Tai Chi Chuan and I truly mean to get better at it, but I can't ignore all the... weird stuff connected to it (no, Mr. Grand Master, I refuse to think that you single handedly pushed 10 people by the power of chi mastery). At the same time, I've been impressed by how, sometimes, finding adequate balance can make you able to sustain a strong push without even making active use of muscular strength.
So Il just wondering how you feel about this (or the other) inner martial art.
For me, it's a demanding and rewarding practice, full of great health and self discipline benefits and a few truly impressive perks, but with a..weird decorum I can't begin to understand.

What's happening in the American Reich is inspiring a very strong sense of European patriotism like I've never seen before among common people around me.
It's pretty ironic, yet makes sense, that European unity could be achieved this sad way.
