1 month agoMaybe your teacher uses vous not as a formal address to one student but rather to speak to the whole class? Or he/she respects some students more than others and uses vous to talk to them, in spite of the age difference.

2·1 month agoYeah I’had been wondering if the ink and glue in those stickers could be bad for the soil if you threw them in your compost. So as a precaution I throw them in the recycling bin.
In French/France I use the formal vous when talking to strangers or customers. Here people generally switch pretty quickly to the informal tu when they get to know each other (at my first day at work with my colleagues and boss). But I’m quite an oddball since I use the formal address even for kids, which no one does. Also my neighbor was a bit annoyed at me for continuing to say vous to her after having met her one month ago. It can make people feel old.
Isn’t that some sort of low battery warning? If so, it might stop on its on in a few weeks, worse case scenario.
Holodomor?
“USA bad so Soviets good” is also propaganda.
I always said school teaches you critical thinking. In other words, to think for yourself.
17·4 months agoI don’t work at an office, but at a bicycle workshop. We just have the one computer at the frontdesk to register sales and new memberships (we’re a non-profit association). So the PC doesn’t have TPM 2.0 so I convinced the board to install linux on it, since it’s a security risk to keep using Windows after it’s going to be discontinued. But that wasn’t easy ! Especially because one of the board member is an Apple fanboy and keep saying things like: “If it’s free, it’s probably not very good”. :[
I think it’s a pun on the famous press article, titled “J’accuse” (“I accuse” as in I accuse you of doing something), writty by renown author Emile Zola in 1898. In it he took a stand to defend Alfred Dreyfus, a french officer wrongly accused of spying for Germany because he was jewish. But “J’accuse” really doesn’t sound like jacuzzi in French though…
Didn’t foresee this as a consequence to the rise of the antivax conspiracy. Sure I knew we’d be in trouble to reach herd immunity for the next epidemic/pandemic, but now we have to worry about rabbies in pets too. And what’s next? Antivax farmers refusing to vaccinate their cattle?
