Everyone in France speaks English the moment an English speaker tries to speak French.

My French sucks. I would intentionally butcher French just so they’d roll their eyes and start speaking English.

It’s really hard to accept help sometimes.

Our family went through the ringer the first half of this year and we had an outpouring of people offering support and help. It’s not that I didn’t need it, I just didn’t think I needed it at the time. Looking back on even 6 months ago, I was pretty dumb for not delegating some things that would have taken a lot off my plate that I didn’t need to deal with at all.

If you’re in a new place around new people, one way I’ve found that works sometimes is just asking someone for help with something really trivial, but not something that could easily be done yourself. Something that could just use another set of hands. It’s kind of an ice breaker and the other person might feel more inclined to be able to ask for some help next time.

Anyway, you seem like good people, I wish you were my neighbor. Don’t let people stop you from continuing to be a good person.

If Canadians do what we did with travel, but apply it to US cars, they’ll be in a world of hurt.

(And whiskey/spirits, but you guys have already done a great job there)

Seriously, you’re 100% right. The more you fine folks of the north stop buying our shit, the more pain you’ll inflict. And our corpos need pain inflicted. If I could suggest, avoiding products from our red states would mean even more than blue states, but that’s a minor distinction at this point.

I wish it was easier for you and the EU to move away from big tech, because that would really start getting attention more than anything else.

Maybe more men should be taller.

I know how that sounds, and that’s the same as saying more women should be “conventional looking”, whatever the fuck that means.

I figured as much, and I was pretty sure I caught your angle on it, but I didn’t want to speak for you.

Not the person you replied to, but I take exception with the word “too” in front of unconventional.

Obviously we know now that she was perfect in the role of Brienne. The main reason (for me, anyway) why film and tv largely suck now is because studios want the “safe” and “conventional” choice for every role. I’m also well over 6 feet tall, I want my tall queens well represented on the screen.

ETA: tall men don’t seem to have a problem getting roles. The stigma against tall women is just dumb to me.

You (externally): I already implemented that last year for you…

Except what? That was exactly my point.

If you’re in Europe, you can cross multiple countries in 3 hours. A 3 hour drive in any direction barely gets me out of my own state.

So I can understand why OP’s asking Americans. We’re pretty much secluded over here on our own plot with Canada and Mexico. Madrid to Moscow is about 4000 km as I understand it. Or 800 km less than it is from NYC to LA.

I’ve been to 44 States, Canada, Mexico and two other continents. Bad shit can happen anywhere. I will say that the best times I’ve had were hanging out with complete strangers from completely different backgrounds than mine and trading stories with them about home.

Assume whatever you want. I’m just saying you asked a question that was immediately answered at the very top of the column. They say they scaled up the things to do with the size of the map. I’ve spent hundreds of hours on these games, and I don’t have a reason to doubt that they’d make a map this much larger without adding “things to do”.

I’ll always upvote Yogi Berra quotes.

Not only large—huge, and stacked from top to bottom with stuff to do.

Literally the second sentence in the article, if you’d bother to click on it.
