No, France.

I’ve seen a fair amount of Chinese tourists and I don’t recall seeing them act in a way that struck me as particularly proper or improper. They’re mostly just walking around and looking at stuff. I also haven’t heard of specific complaints about their behavior. Some people complain about tourism in general, how some places get too crowded and prices increase, but it’s less about the behavior of tourists. Or when it is, it’s not the Chinese who are singled out for it.

Then me and Kyle,
We looked at each-other.
And we each said:
“OK”. - Comment on Google it 2 days ago:
I think if wizards actually existed, they would seldom bother with actual curses; which seem complicated to cast and prone to backfiring. Having shown someone a little magic, they’d be very easy to trick into thinking they’ve been cursed, and the resulting paranoia, anxiety and confirmations bias would do the job. I imagine it’d be some wizard’s favorite trick. They’d gloat about it to their colleagues and they’d laugh together in their secret wizard circles.
So a wizard would need a pretty strong incentive to cast an actual curse.
- Comment on here, have another insult to life itself 6 days ago:
OpenAI released a generative model that emulates the famous Studio Ghibli art style; or more precisely Hayao Miyazaki’s art style. The latter had once said “I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself” when presented with a proof of concept of AI generated 3D characters, an exchange you can watch here. Now, this specific sentence refers more to the idea of using unnatural movements similar to a disability for creepy shock factor; but he also seems avert to the concept of AI art.
- Comment on How the fuck do I find out where and when all these protests and rallies are happening? 1 week ago:
Depends on where you live, but try to find an organization active in your town whose ideas are somewhat in line with yours. If they’re on a social media you use or have a website with an RSS feed you can subscribe to, use that. Otherwise, try and get in their contacts (many organizations have a contact list broader than their actual member list, so you don’t have to adhere if you’re not sure to commit). Then you get notified for every action they take part in.
To find them in the first place… Keep your eyes peeled for stickers or posters in the streets; and try to find the people at a protest or event said posters advertised.

1- Stu has a cool outfit and an afro, is always dancing, doesn’t advertise. 2- Misoginy

“Bad” I can’t say, you took no risk, and this made no mistakes.
Using triangles for the bodies is a good idea, as triangles are a good shape, you can do anything with triangles. Have you consider increasing the amount of triangle, as such?
two triangles bodies more triangles
I dropped the round heads in the last one, because honestly, circles are an overrated shape. And you can do anything in triangles, why use anything else?
You can find any number of foolish ressources online, none of them tells you the truth about triangles. All sorts of websites and yet more websites try to teach you how to draw, without even mentioning triangles in any of their tutorials.

One of the big reasons why it’s considered unsafe to swim in floodwater is the hygien: Remember the sewers must be overflowing. Plus, the water can have engulfed any amount of chemicals (oil, gaz, battery acid…)

- Comment on I gotta start using folders or at least labeling these somehow 5 weeks ago:
I classified my memes and sorted them in folders and sub folders (like, the “wojak” folder is a subfolder of “rage”). I might have a slightly different problem.

Understandable, u and v are originally the same letter, so the words are really “vvvla” and “vvlva”, just a small permutation…

I’ve been hearing about it for years, but I’ve always been afraid to look up what it actually was.

I don’t think putting something in a freezer would disinfect it. Stop the microbes from breading while it’s inside, but they start again quickly as soon as it gets out.

Oh, you just made me understand the joke. I thought he was gonna put the condom on the shiver and use it as a dildo, but makes more sense this way.
- Comment on And because you deserve it, here's one from the top shelf 2 months ago:
Once a relative was prescribed antidepressants but decided not to get them because they figured they’d rather cope in their own way than use a potentially addictive psychoactive substance to mask their symptoms without fixing the main cause. It made perfect sense until it turned out “their own way” involved frequently drinking alcohol.

No, you’re only supposed to get covered in earth, wind and fire. To send something crashing against your body is antagonistic, and water no get enemy. Be like water, my friend.
- Comment on Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V • Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka V: Houjou no Megami-hen - Episode 8 discussion 4 months ago:
Already 5 seasons? I remember watching season 1 when I was in highschool. Strangely, I enjoyed it enough to finish it within one night, but didn’t find it memorable. Then years past before another season came out, but when I checked it out I found it boring and left after one episode. And to me it feels like there was a decade between season 1 and 2 and a few months between to and 5.

Since HOAs were mentioned, I assume the previous comment was about the US (unless there are countries in the Old World where they are as prevalent, but I know of none). Domestic honey bees aren’t native to the US, and many native bees are endangered for many different reasons. In the rest of the world as well, honey bees aren’t the only bees, or the only pollinating insects, and each pollinator has their plants of predilections, some species of plants depend entirely on some species of insect, so insect bioiversity is very important. Protecting native bees in the Americas has particular stakes, because they’re the most adept at pollinating the native plants which are the cornerstones of several ecosystems.
