Does DE count?
It's crazy that new expansions are still dropping, and the ranked community is thriving.
Right!? Are we just not allowed to reference certain body parts anymore? How are the Republicans at their next convention going to explain where they want the twink they hit up on Grindr where they want dat dick?
Same, never heard 'aboot' in my life. However, I do tend to say '-eh' all the time, especially at the end of sentences as emphasis.
Okay, cool. I live very close to Switzerland (close enough that my wife works there.) As I am also an anglophone living in a non-anglophone country, Lemmy is basically my sole source of English language news and whatnot. It's sometimes very difficult to be surrounded by another language and culture, and this place has become my escape in a way. Reddit was great back in the day, but I can no longer support the enshitification it has suffered.
Welcome home!
Where are you from?
Do you have children?
What do you think about your country's current political situation?
Couldn't agree more. Destroying our planet faster just so people don't have to write their own emails seems insane to me. Google literally wants to use private nuclear reactors to power their AI projects... Do people really think that won't be expensive, both economically and climate-wise?
My brother and I quote this money to this day, such a classic.
"How could he see me?"
I did the opposite lol.
As an Anglophone who lives in France, I agree. Although where I live (east / south-east) English is not very widely spoken, even in bigger cities, but the people are generally very friendly.
Merci pour ta généralisation. Je suis Canadien (pas Québécois) et j'habite en France avec ma femme française. En fait où je vis (Haute-Savoie), très peu de gens parlent anglais. J'étudie beaucoup chaque jour en français pour pouvoir me faire des amis et vivre une bonne vie ici.
Nous sommes pas tous pareils.
That pedal order is wild.

My francophone wife practiced saying squirrel for like 7 years before she was able to get it kinda right, so that's very impressive if true. It doesn't help that in my accent, it's pronounced as one syllable. Even good approximations of the pronunciation that I've heard by French speakers are usually done in two syllables.
