Yeah it seems native english speakers(mainly my fellow muricans) are baffled by the pronunciation of the french “r”.
It took me practicing it for a while to finally understand how to properly pronounce it, but I’m still ashamed to use it in public for fear of being mocked by both french and english speakers alike. LOL.
Man I wish, my pathetic bank account needs some serious help… just like millions of others I’m sure.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Believe it or not, there are already MAGA people pissed at him in hard red states/districts.
DragonAce@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Middle-class buyers are increasingly springing for homes they can barely afford8·10 months agoNo this is another housing bubble, similar to what happened back in 2010. My house is now worth more than double what I paid for it, which is more than it was at the peak of the housing bubble right before it crashed back in 2010.
But biggest difference this time around is the bubble has been intentionally accelerated by a handful of investment firms that have been buying up all the houses across the US for the past decade.

I have learned thru my years of gardening that wasps and hornets are a good thing to have around, not just bees. Not only do they help pollinate flowers, they are predators to some of the most annoying garden pests. I think I’ve counted at least 7 different wasp species in my garden this summer, they’ve done a great job keeping the larger pest populations manageable.
I’ve been working on not saying “Google it” for quite a while. After saying it for over a fucking decade, its a hard habit to break. But I’m finally getting used to saying just “Look it up”
I saw one of those stupid motherfuckers driving thru my neighborhood the other day. That was the first time I had seen one in person and I have to say it was the ugliest piece of shit I had ever seen. All I could do was laugh at the dumbass behind the wheel for wasting their money on that monstrosity.
Also, am I the only one who remembers the old flash game from like a decade ago with a “cybertruck” that looks exactly like this that you bounced around the screen to kill enemies? I’m going on a mission to find that shit now.

DragonAce@lemmy.worldtoReddit@lemmy.ml•Reddit sent me invitations to their IPO to my "deleted" accounts! That's a GDPR violation!8·1 year agoYeah I just got an invite as well and I haven’t logged in since the protest that brought the first wave of us here. So karma has to be a deciding factor, I had over 100k I think so that would be the only reason I got an invite.
The thing that everyone ITT seems to be forgetting is that while yes making rice or beans or something similar can be cheap and also very filling. When someone is working 40+ hours a week at multiple jobs to keep a roof over their heads, depression is inevitable. Living paycheck to paycheck is stressful, anxiety inducing, and depressing. So when someone is exhausted and depressed, sometimes all they have the energy for is to pour a bowl of cereal, because anything beyond that is just too much.

In other words, the in depth reporting and niche shows aren’t making enough money, so we’re going to dump all that shit and jump on the reality TV bandwagon.

I loved the Naked Gun movies.
The Hot Shots movies were funny too.
