... https://www2.gwu.edu/~darwin/BiSc151/Mammals/Carnivore_relation.jpg This one is maybe ร bit more.. Readable
sea lions are apprently sea bears ...
Sea bears-cousins
๐ This was very educational
I mean, bears and canines are distant relatives
Bears are actually closer related to seals than dogs
This is a much more accurately formatted tree
ahh this brings back memories of uni. wildlife biology degree. Kevin Please Come Over For Green Soup
soylent green the other other white meat
I have... some questions, about people romantic taste, sometimes.
I just finished a book, and by curiosity I go check the reviews. You see, at one point in the book, two antagonistes kiss. (They hate each other, one is sexually attracted and is disgusted by this, bullied the other for years, the other have been bullied for years, killed his friend, and right now is holding the first with a knife on the throat. She kiss him because she realised his desire/repulsion for her, and play on his disgust, etc. All in all, it's a sick scene.)
**Review: ** This passage was the most romantic scene I've ever read!!
I have * Questions *
raises eyebrow.
It is my understand that there is a subgroup of people who enjoy contemplating unlikely individual having relationships even though there is little to indicate that is actually happening
Boaters I think they are called
They are still antagonists at the end of the book
It's YA, I get it that they are placed so to develop a relation in the next ones, but this scene, in context? I can't call that romantic
How do you define romantic
People sometimes use it euphemism for sexual
I, personally, would not descbibe based on what you described as "romantic"
I did not understand your last sentence. But I would define romantic as things that go in the "Love" category. Sexuals things can be romantic, but not automatically
The fragment of text you posted is not romantic to me
Got it, thanks for the rephrasing ๐
I think some people find unresolved lizard brain sexual tension to be inherently romantic regardless of anything else going on.
I guess. I admit finding that very strange.
"their love could move mountains" yeah but are they like even friends
Considering things like twilight, I do not think some people finding it romantic is very strange.
abusive relationships are super romantic dontcha know
I mean, Twilight have at least the declaration of love. Like, it was honest "Yep I hate you too"
popular media has Problems
They litteraly said "I hate you and that's why" a paragraph ago!
I don't fault the book, the book say "Yep thay hate each other and this is a sick move". It was a reader that said "Most romantic ever!"
consumers of popular media also have Problems
I accept that answer
I think the notion of love in Twilght is the LEAST of it's issues to be fair
Reminder: 50shades started out twilight fanfic
it gives fanfiction a bad name tbh
(The book end on one of the antagonists saying to the other "Oh, you wanted that result? Well fuck you, that's the result, I'm gonna do everything to be a problem to you" btw. It's an honesty I appreciate)
a crap book wih a good ending is still a crap book
But it's not a crap book? Why would you say that?
There is acommon adage "From hatred to love is one just one step"
so many fans out there pour their hearts into writing some of the most honestly engaging stories I've ever read and then people see the word "fanfiction" and the first thing that usually pops to mind is... that literary abomination.
it's so saddening.
So when you see someone talking about strong emotions, combines with lizard brain sexual tension attraction.. people kinda connect the dots
some of the best star wars and star trek books have been fanfics, soem have even gotten their authors jobs
hell, look at Seth MacFarlane
his entire career started in star trek fanfiction
I'd prefer not to
I mean, as I said, I didn't find that specific scene romantig, and not knowing anything else about the book just solely based on your description I expect that "love" of some sort will make its way into picture somehow later in the series.
Why would you insult my book that you don't even know the tittle?! Lone?!!
well disregarding him would be a mistake, he's been trying to point out issues in hollywood for years
plenty of others go that way inay, not just yours
i was also referring to twilight and others
You litteraly say it's a crap book
whats yours about?
no inay, i meant in general
I willopenly piss people off and say the same about the bible
now THATS a vocal minority that get uppity for pissing on their fave book
Because to them it is not a literary work, it is not even same
(Xenon > I don't doubt it, but given how it work know, I think it will evolve with "forced to work together and learning to understand/appreciate each other". At least, I think it will evolve in this somewhat direction)
agreed
Likes and dislikes are rather subjective.
For the book, I don't want to say the title as I've said some things that can be understood as plot points and I don't want to spoil
But it was appreciable. Not the best book I read, but a good book. Everyone have done bad stuff and is called out on it
did you spoiler your own book? nicely done
Not my book, the one I just read nounouille
ok, then you've lost me Inay, one minute we're talking twilight and 50 shades, the next yours... i dunno anymore
Inay doesn't want to give title of the book so people who are consider reading it won't be spoiled but what we talked about
well are they spoilers or not then?
Inay is reading a book that is neither 50shades nor twilight. We are discussing a reaction of sone of the reader to the book plot point/ending.
I'm so behind on reading though it's not funny
Since ending was revealed if Inay also names the title it will be spoil
<@&299347348847329281> help
good goy
I just finished to read a book, by curiosity I was looking at what other people having read the book wrote on it. Someone (other reader) was calling a scene "super romantic" when it was a maybe sexual tension but really not romantic, mostly hatred scene, and I had Questions.
The answer was "Readers of popular medias have Problems"
there there
thank you
Thanks Intervencion!
The only moment I was offline lol
haha
hehe yes
And I did spoil a bit the ending by talking about the characters reactions and all, so I don't want to say the title
Man, trying to play some PS2 CDRoms in PS3 is a pain in the ass
Yeah but it can be done with the proper software
But games on CD are a bit tricky it looks like..
rolling back to an earlier OS can still do it right?
talking about roms, the Switch has been totally copied on pc, so funny
Neat
BotW runs ok apparnelty, but you need a beefy pc to handle it
Maybe this will force them to make a second version of the switch ๐
I blame EA

yo Inter, #retail-wow
Jezz, they are excited tonight
seems wowhead got raided
Raided?
What do you mean? "swatted?" like tha poor guy in kansas?
๐ฎ
@neon hinge please tell me you're not handling this all by yourself :(
I think I am
Iโm alive D:
Need help for the night Mods? D:
What is realistic roleplay?
I legit just went offline before this happened -.-
I would guess that they waited for that?
@lusty jungle it's when kids act like arsehats
I guess Nero burned more than just Rome
cos you know, it's realistic
Seriously
Lol
Nope, not over it seems
it's funny, they call us nerds, until they need their computer fixing, then we are their GODS!
Now if the raids excuuuuuse me (princess) I'll go back to trying to get this game to work lol
We'll bip if there's another problem. Good luck!
Thanks, been a few hours already for such a short game lol
hahah
hmm was i pinged? it says i have a mention
Nah don't worry, it was a raid, they pinged here or everyone I think
oh to not be able to be pinged as a mod
Of course
look it up on wowhead
It's low. Like... insulting low
yeah
its not there, so its less than 1%
Whatever the TF cap is
technically, TF cap

.. I need help to find back a song please
its a limited early release essentially
It's getting frustrating
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
it uses bullshit industry terms to try and trick less educated consumers
It was an old thing from the 90 or early 2000, with a bad quality clip. It's at night, in a city. Not good music, a bit stupid, but catchy, that kinda talked about sex? Or having fun in the room all night. Lot of repetition in the refrain
I forgot both the tune and the lyrics
I dunno Inter, I don;t follow PUBG
Jackson got caught in the storm so I started drying him off and he decided to snuggle up on the sofa in the blanket
please tell jackson I love him
heh
Jackson is adorable
he really is, the scratches all over my arms, not so much
right, well before I call it a night, gonna tire myself out watching the new Power rangers movie I've been holding off on... ugh...
awwww kitty
my Slipper has buggered off somewhere outside in the thunderstorm we're having rn too. jackson is so cute! my boy will be getting cuddles and towels too no doubt
I just woke up and he was cuddled up on my pillow...
that was lovely waking up to his bum
my work today is being supervised
Sylvanas vs Lich King! My first animated project! It took me a lot of time to make, so I decided to split it into two parts so that I could do part 2 better ...

have you ever had ostrich egg?
actually we have a couple of ostrich farms int eh UK, theres one not far from me outside Gloucester
I never looked, I don't know if there is in France. I know there's some in Quebec but.. Eh, I'm looking now, one minute
Oh hey, there's some! The nearer is still one car hour away from my city tho'
yeah, ostrich is pretty hardy, I love Ostrich burgers and much better value than cow
real life pepe?!?
b-b-bird machine check
su cute
Quality content
Yes they wre messing with kernel tables in both NT and Linux since October I think
And.. in France do they not eat those small little birds whole? Ortolans?
I thought that was a name, like small birds that are eaten in france in its entirety
Okay, so I've checked and that's.. not really a thing except for Super Rich Politic People
The specie is protected since 1999
yup
Good
Like, I will trust the french wiki of it a bit more than the english version that present it as a super common food =/
yeah, I'm against drowning a bird in Almanac...
now cider? ๐
(joking of course)
Well, thanks for asking the question tho'. I never heard of that bird or that tradition before.
This is a weird dish, even for me, and I have accepted to eat snail.
I do try new foods when I visit other countries, but snail made me gag
Escargot tastes more of garlic and stuff than anything else, from what I remember.
I don't like mussels either. Any mollusc, actually
agreed
:O
Today in Geek History: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine premiered in 1993. 25 years? Already?
haha, it is ๐
but yeah, I used to run a hotel, so I got the chance to try loads of stuff, but then, wife had pizza tongiht, so I'm having potato waffles and ravioli... cos simples
go on
Eel. I had once when I was younger and lived near the sea
But it seems it's endangered now, so will not for.. a long time again, I guess. x)
really? jellied eel is really big in parts of london
I just looked for the translation in english and the first article I've found was of how eels are on the red list of the UICN
eep
wife would love it
I get that wife love fish?
yup
<approving nod>
now I can catch a fish, gut it, scale it and cook it, but hate the taste
my gran and grandad were the same, used to fish with him
You're the same as one of my grandpa
(Except that one time when my parents tricked him into eating tuna, he liked it, until they said to him that it was fish. He did Not Appreciate)
well I cook in our house, so hard to trick me ๐
she's not allowed int he kitchen after burnig cereal
she wanted warm milk after putting the milk on it, put it in the microwave for too long and it burned off
Welp
sounds like me and my workmate.. i keep him as far away from my microwave as humanly possible.. especially after the pizza incident
she does a great job cleanign the oven though, but i have to strictly watch in case of combustion ๐
oh and Inay, 1993 was 25 years ago, it's 2018 now ๐
I do hope my partner will be someone who love to cook too. Most of what I do is eatable (except mistakes from time to time) but I can't do stuff too complicated as cooking is boring to me. (When one have to watch carrefuly the stuff cooking)
The pizza incident?
And no, I DONT WANNA
Stop making me feel old plz
well 2017 and 2016 sucked, roll on 2018 and hope for no nuclear winters
(although if it happens, I won't know)
Let's hope for that
well I live half a mile from GCHQ, so yeah, I'll never know ๐
It was "hope for no nuclear winters" not "hope for you to die", I wish to precise
I dunno, after playing 1k hours of Fallout 4, I dunno if I'd wanna survive it
long story short he tried to heat a pizza and he had it in the microwave for 30 minutes instead of 5
..
damn
Why would you put anything in the microwave for THAT long
i have NO idea
hitting the timer wrong i guess
also 1184 hours in fallout 4 <.<
Speaking of other game, I have people to kill in ancient Egypt still. See you later folks!
have fun inay
Raid wing 3... i will be in your tonight
I regret not having a "release to nearest graveyard" button
what game is that
AC Origins i think
assassin's creed?
Yah
It's pretty cool
bbut a very good explore ancient egypt game
This is my wife.
I love her.
shes awesome
same
on otherhand she'd probably kill me first :3
say inay have you ever had a crocodile spawn INSIDE a wall?
No
I have.. crazy npc that kill each others? But I'm not sure if it's not the guards that fight bandits or something
hmm ive had a croc spawn inside a wall though
You were unlucky
well im off to sleep night inay dont do anything you cant deny later on
I'm going to kill more people
so much for plausible deniability eh? poofs
I'm gonna try to be stealthy about it?

Not gonna lie, every time I see Lonesamurai's name I think of this
Thanks tumblr
hahaaahahha
The camera is shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
I saw the title of @wanton pulsar's stream and hoped she was playing Farming Simulator.
Nope. Just WoW.

I won a new outfit
More like you lost your clothes
I feel really serious in this
You look like you were in a sauna and your friends pranked you by taking your clothes
๐ค
I do NOT speak from experience
Are you sure about that?
...I think Iโm gonna go. o /
(And it's a bit that. There's a mission in a sauna and you get rewarded by this outfit at the end)
I will not use it, but it's funny

My babies. The horse is really good at.. eh, transporting stuff? Which is really practical when you have a mission "Bring back the bodies of our friends killed by hippopotamus"
You put one body on the horse, you carry the other, and the horse follow you when you whistle.
<nod>
Practical
Alas you can't have a mule.
But you can steal a cart with ox, which is good too except that I'm comically bad at driving them
aww
I only ever played like part of black flag
Which was confusing as duck becasue right as I was getting into it I got yanked into futurustic/modern day world and that was startling and unpleasant
Yeah, I imagine if you start by that ^^'
I did the first until the III (which is actually not the third game, but anyway) so I had a topo on the setting
(when I have stuck my stolen cart on.. something)
oh camel!
Yeah you can have camel mount too!
But the prettiest one is a e-shop one, so I'm sad and not using them.
;_;
camels in general are nice
the mount is entirely cosmetic, so it is purely preference anyway
It's important.
its a single player game why are there "Shop" mounts
When has a studio not try to exhort as much money as they can from their players?
There's a unicamel mount in the shop
I wanna get AC: Origins
I do recommend it Arsonite
camel pride
It's super big
'tis coot
I have no idea what you just said
;-; it is cute
Oh, the camel?
ye
hawt
Anyway, gotta sleep now. Bye
agree. I just seen that take off.
It's frustrating to have such issues with infrequent pings though... it's a server for our site, and we could use some suggestions; that's what the ping is for, not for people to spam the shit out of it.
some people...
everyone still gets the @ either way though tbf lol
Poeple are harasing sas due to ping
Well they should be able to mute either the channel or server.
The ones that dont want to be pinged that is
^
nah i sure they rather bug the staff instead of something so simple.
i sometimes like to fool myself that the internet is full of trolls but then stuff like this happens and it makes me lose that a little
๐คฆ๐ป only time before they get booted.
Sadlyfe
Waits till Sas and others ban all the people who are complaining
RIP #site

they could not have not known this was gonna happen.
Man, that was so childish of so many people
Aran
R U D E
don't be rude
I actually never used this discord to talk, but when i saw the butthurt kiddies i couldn't resist, my sincere apologies @velvet pilot
@velvet pilot it wont happen again :)
@wooden wadi I did the same thing! haha
Y rite!
oh rip. they took down the #site channel
Well im off to spam arenas, was fun y'all
ripp
im perfectly nice ๐
oh wait. nvm. and no ur not.
It was just one ping, I'd understand if someone spams pings
i mean
this is what happens eveyr time
even if someone does spam ping, you can still turn off your fucking notifs. easy af.
Well im going back to what i was doing. Hopefully the others becareful . Later
@spice goblet that is true, but some people keep them on, cause you know, someone might have important stuff to say and you might not notice it without notifications
pfff. about 1% of what is said here is actually important. is most of it interesting tho? yes, but regardless.
That's also an opinion, might be more important to someone else.
Dear god this quest is hard

Sick raptor
Like 2k years bro
probably a lot more than that
yeah, 10 million years from the common ancestor with woodpeckers and barbets
Lol u thought i was serious
Actually, yeah
Since this is a text-based chat
And you showe no sign of sarcasm or joke whatsoever
Um.. but i just called it a raptor..
... /sarcasm helps
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Some people just get it my dude : p
[Veloci]Raptors are pretty birdy
some people voted for idiots, so they don't all get text based sarcasm ๐
I dont need everyone to get it i guess, puttin /s all the time kinda ruins it : P
I mean.. Raptor is also the name for carnivore birds, and the cousin family of Avian dinosaurs so, it was still in subject
Think u guys are finding reasons to be negative hahaha
I'm not?
I'm just trying to work AND watch wowhead weekly... not keen on thursday night slot
wait, what? i thought it was wednesday
oh yeah, they changed it with NO WARNING, from now on it's Thursday ngihts at 10pm gmt (2pm pst)
well fark
yeah, i was hoping new host would mean better announcements, but hey ho, it's Annies first show, so early days
wheres the pitchforks and torches?
well this is my last live show too, I usually work thursday ngihts, either out at a gig or streaming
great job tonight @wanton pulsar
Tfw trolls expect us to know they're trolling.... That is an example of the logical fallacy which is termed Poe's Law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law
Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers or viewers as a sin...
why can Americans not have this?
oh well, I can ๐ smug
honestly, that looks gross imo
Is that.. kinder ice cream?
I need it.
I like your wife
i told her she can't have it in America and very loudly reminded me we're not going ๐
I do too
I sure hope you do. :p
so does Harry most days
are u really a "Lonesamurai" if you have a wife? ๐ค
Dragon lady
Btw, aren't the Kinder Surprise the only ones banned in ths US? I don't think they have problem with the rest of the brand
yeah, I think it's cos they think you can smuggle migrants or something in them
Something like that
"they think you can smuggle migrants or something..." wot
Also Kinder Eggs have been illegal (though apparently they recently unbanned them?) because the average american child is too stupid to realise thereโs a hard plastic toy inside the thin chocolate shell, so they shove the whole thing in their mouth and win a Darwin Award
Did it actually happened?
@unreal bluff i think that's courtesy of the average american parent tbh
I know your education system is bad, but I didn't thought it was that bad
Well I can assure you that at least MY children would not be average in any way.
tbh
Below-average height, above-average intelligence. And neuroticism. >.>
... cough Trump
It's MUCH MUCH worse than that, Inay
I.. know that your education system is a fucking shithole?
Don't look at ME, I voted for the non-narcissist.
Better?
that's actually a compliment to the education system ifyam
yeah see I was just talking about this with my mom last night
realising part of why I'm so dysfunctional
it also depends on if you're in a rich area or a poor area >.>
the damn incompetent school administrators in Texas in the early 90s absolutely refused to learn any different way of dealing with neurodivergent children
See Rhennthyl, that's part of the problem in my opinion
I wasn't "special needs" enough to be put in the special ed classes, and I tested with an IQ of 140+, so they were like "ooo..... kay..... she's CLEARLY doing this on purpose. we better discipline it out of her"
"hmm we can't legally administer corporal punishment ourselves but we can summon one of her parents to the school to do it FOR us. that's BRILLIANT!"
oh and let's not forget abstinence-only sex ed
so yeah messed-up kid with rewards system that goes to 11 on both ends wound up learning "I mess up = I must be beaten"
I only went up to 5th grade in TX. we didn't get to the sex ed
rip
I mean
hell we even have that issue in teh UK, BUT nearly all our classes have three levels
Smartass
Average
Dumbass
They told us about puberty and that we'd get periods and stuff
I don't really understand your notation system of A, B, and co either, but as the french one is a bit shitty too, I wouldn't tell.
i was happily average
i'd probs be in between like.. Average and Dumbass on that bar tbh
Or sometimes we just use percentage.
basically A = 90%+, B=80%+ ... etc
I've heard like even C is bad?
C is average. Literally average
C is 70%
C = 70%, supposed to be average
It is a passing grade in many cases, but in certain highly skilled college programs, you need a B (80%) or higher to pass
which is pretty bad but it's eh. you can still pass in most USA schools with 70%
Things like medical school, because "average" gets patients killed.
They could have. I graduated college in 2010 and haven't been back.
used to be that a D (60%) was passable
In France, we're noted on 20. Under 10 is bad. 10 is.. not good, but okay. More than 15 is great. The problem is that the notation is a bit subjective, and I know of teachers that refuse to give more than like.. 17 "Because perfection doesn't exist, so you can't have 17/18/19/20"
For a lot of tests in the US, that's purely a percentage of the answers you get right
Especially on a test where it's multiple choice or true/false
I'm actually discalculate, i was really chuffed with my D in Maths
So thankfully there's nothing subjective about it. Subjectivity always makes grading harder.
We don't really have tests like that. Where you choose one or two answers in those that you can
got C's in everything else, English was A/B
I wish I could apologise to all my math teachers from high school and college
same. except, in my case it'd be all the teachers i've ever had.
It's all "you have that question, write your answer in your words"
I learned more math doing my job than I ever did
Ah, Inay, those are "essay questions" in the US
and everyone hates them
Yes, that word
because it hurts your hand to write all that out and the teachers hate trying to read the handwriting XD
Except every test is essay questions
yeah, essay questions aren't really a thing except for history and english classes
at least at the high school level
Right, I don't think that essay questions would be very helpful in most math classes. Unless it's something like "Explain how to find the derivative of this equation"
I dunno what it's like now, been over twenty years since I finished school
From memory, as it's been some years since I had any math lessons, you write your calcul.
yes, but you still have to have the correct answer at the end
"I have this equation to do
So you do that
And then that"
If you show all the work and then every answer is wrong, you're still getting marked wrong.
They do take points off most of the time if you don't show your work, though.
Yeah, the math-based class can have the 20/20 notation, they're not as subjective.
But I followed the litteray parcours so I did not
My elder brother hated that because he did most of it in his head, and generally got the right answer. So his thought was "if I get it right, why do you care how I work it out?"
i hate it when the teachers don't give the highest grade because "perfection doesn't exist" I GOT ALL THE ANSWERS RIGHT, DIDN'T I
Well like what if the question is something like
"Give a general timeline of Ancient Rome"
And my answer is "500 BC: founding. 0: republic. AD 500: Byzantine"
i don't see how an answer to that is subjective tho
I might have the numbers a little weird
eh, founding is probably earlier, and 0 is more like republic -> empire, and byzantium was closer to 350-400 or so
Yeah, it's been a while
early medieval runs from 300-1000 or so
These were just numbers one of my history teachers had us try to remember as a general idea
Since Rome lasted about 1000 years in total and was roughly equally divided into republic and empire, and Byzantium carried on after Rome fell
And some scientific stuff, there is nothing subjective about it
i can understand why they don't give full marks when they're grading an opinionated answer but... if the opinion was a scientific theory that had valid conclusions and evidence, then it should be given 100% imo
Yeah
Like, uh.. When you get.. 16 years old? You enter in "Lycรฉe", which is three years (Seconde (2th), Premiรจre (1th) and Terminale (Last?)) Well, if you didn't choose a professionnal parcours but let's stay on that.
Well. Seconde is a general formation, and then in Premiรจre, you have to choose a specialty.
L -> Litterary. Focus on litterature, language, philosophy.
S -> Scientific. Focus on Math, Chemiology, biology/geology/co (Science of Earth we call it), Physic
ES -> Economic Social. I don't remember the exact cursus but yeah, eco.
Ah, I think France must not do the Gen Ed thing like America does.
Gen Ed?
france is probably closer to the british system than the american system
General Education
very much so
The first 12 years of schooling (technically 13 years) you don't pick any kind of specialisation. After kindergarten and grade 1 โ grade 12, you go on to college
Before Lycรฉe there's "Collรจge", which is general.
Adhara means math, english (literature), social studies (history), and science. i think.
but then the EU influence is still there (actually education is one thing EU took advice from us on)
Lycรฉe is 16-18 years old, and then Superior Study (University)
In college you're expected to pick a major, but in order to graduate, they make you take at least a few classes in almost every area
"credits"
thats Higher Education (college or 6th form) here Inay
Like, I don't remember what the exact numbers were since it's been almost 8 years but
clutchs my psych & biol degrees with history and russian minors
my computer sciences degree is so old, I learned how to network on 386's
we got excited when one class was fully upgraded to 486 dx75's ๐
For an example, my degree in Geology, let's say the university required me to have 48 "credits" in Geology-related classes. But it also required about 16 "credits" of foreign language and 16 "credits" of a basic math and non-geology science (chemistry or physics)
Kindergarden -> 16 years old : General
16 -> 18 : Choose a cursus (Except you can't choose your classes)
18 -> ? : Go do stuff. University, Private school, etc. University have a credit system.
the woops of pleasure watching teh windows 95 screen saver on windows 3.1 ๐
Flying toasters?
In the US, kindergarten -> 5th grade = primary education
5th grade -> 12th grade = secondary
so you leave the general education system at 18, instead of 16
Anyway, one of the assistants in a geology class I took had gotten his basic degree in Argentina and was now working on a higher degree (doctorate or similar) at my university
Caveat, rhennthyl
It's only compulsory until age 16
basically, 16-18 doesn't exist in the us
You need to give me the age
So it's possible to end high school at age 16 (grade 10)
Because I have no idea what 5th grade is
Age is 5 + grade number.
they use those numbers in UK now too
In general, though there's a little margin because of different birthdays through the year
I mean, we could also talk about pseo (attending community college for your last 2 years of hs) but that's a bit more naunced
How long is school? 12 years?
13 years from kintergarden to end (12th grade)
give or take
Does everyone go to kindergarten?
Yes, about 13 years.
11 years here, plus 2 or 3 college, then 2 to 4 university
what edge that starts
more for some jobs
Kindergarten is usually age 5
11 year for me as well and modn't do dont do kindargarten
In rare cases, kids enter at 4 if they're very precocious, or 6 if their birthday falls at an odd part of the year / they weren't ready for it at age 5
School at 7 (though some go at 6)
we start at 4 or 5 here, but have pre-school too
France:
Maternelle (Kindergarden): 3 -> 6 years old
CP : 6 years old
CE1 : 7 years old
CE2 : 8 years old
CM1 : 9 years old
CM2 : 10 years old
College:
Sixiรจme (Sixte): 11/12 years old
Cinquiรจme (Fifth): 12/13 years old
Quatriรจme (Fourth): 13/14 years old
Troisiรจme (Third) : 14/15 years old
**Lycรฉe: **
Seconde (Second): 15/16 years old
Premiรจre (First): 16/17 years old
Terminale (Last): 17/18 years old
Superior Studies (like University or what)
Licence -> 3 years formation
Master -> 2 years formation, go after the Licence
Bachelor -> 3 years formation
BTS -> 2 years formation
Licence Pro -> 1 years formation, go after two other years in superior studies.
Etc.
I hope it's more clear this way

I watched "let's play" of final fantasy VII once
(it is when another human played it and uploads it to youtube or some such)
I heard so much about that game so I figured I might watch it
So at least I finally after decades will get reference to sephorxx etc
i dunno why, but you just made me feel old
Um cosnidering there are now people playing this game (wow) that were not born when it is launched.. we are old
it came out in 2004, right?
Yes we just had 13 anniversary

Honestly I don't quite get it.
I knod FF game means a game with Cid, chocobo, some high fantasy type things, and.. that about it
Oh and mogs
... /facepalm
I dabbled in FF XIV a bit, it wasn't bad
@lusty jungle that one has a demo, I'd totally recomend trying it
Wait that not final fantasy
Kinda bloody
Like japanese game cross with dragon age
dragon's dogma
idk what u all are talking about bout i saw japanese game, dragon age, and just wanted to say that
best most underrated game out there
I honestly outside of brief sting with FF XIV (which was enjoyable) have noo point of reference with japanese games
And wow is busy cribbing things from FF XIV like world quests etc
Nothing wrong with taking a concept and improving it
wait, wqs came from FF?
hmmm...
all games borrow from eachother
ik
Yup I enjoyed it, but as you said, completely underrated and sadly under the radar of most
more often then not it's an actual west african (still no royalty)
Ahahaha, just what I imagined, Iโve yet to get one of those emails though, I feel left out

hell i even gotten phising attempts for my wow account on a email thats not even connected to it
Yep, I get those too. On my Yahoo account, so I just laugh and I'm like "dumbass, my Blizzard account is on my Gmail address"
Your Blizzard account is in danger go in to www.WeAreNotBlizzrd.ru and make it safe ๐
the biggest laugh i ever have had when seeing a phising mail is the bank ones.. "your bank of america account is suspended due to suspicious activity"
i went "dude? really? i dont HAVE such a bank account"
lol yep
i live in sweden so i DONT OWN any bank of america account
Hehe, I get a lot of PayPal and government related ones, last one was from PayPal and it said โ you owe USD = ยฃ235โ itโs like they arenโt even trying.
I don't click on any paypal mail anymore
I just check my acc writing myself the url
Better safe than sorry tbh

I miss having a cat
And that lil fker strolling up to me whilst Iโm in bed and laying on my chest like he owns me
While... across the room on teh stairs...
that is what my old one does when im trying to sleep i wake up with a cat walking up and sitting on my chest and just looks at me as if saying "oh? im sorry? did you want to sleep? to bad i want petting"
if it's a cold night Harry (ginger) comes and curls up on my pillow... I regularly wake up with his butt hole right in my eye line
heh
Fell the love

A group of GTA Online players are all gathered together near an auto shop in downtown Los Santos. Theyโre here for a car meet meant to show off fancy vehicles within the community. Suddenly, and without any warning, a giant explosion goes off. Everyone is killed, and the hot rods are destroyed. Another orbital cannon has been fired in GTA Online.
Tried to invent an outfit that looks shamany
(Night Elf shaman yes itโs a story)
Anyone decent with illustrator? I got a question ๐
ok, so who else is excited for this?

Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regimeโs corruption & its squandering of the nationโs wealth to fund terrorism abroad. Iranian govt should respect their peopleโs rights, including right to express themselves. The world is watching! #IranProtests

Who's "Logan Paul" ?
inay short version he is a really really scummy person
he's some big-name youtuber I'd never heard of before despite apparently having 15 million subscribers
a dick
he went to aokigahara, the place known as the suicide forest, and filmed a vlog there in the most disrespectful and disgusting manner possible
Found, filmed, and laughed at a person who had commited suicide in the forest
That place has to have some really bad energy.
its a well known spot for suicides so bad energy is probably a understatement
Fair enough
but i know what you mean wolf
Its eerie and indescribable from what people who have gone there say
Utterly heartbreaking
the video got removed not sure if by YT or by him and he released some halfassed excuse later on
He did it
Youtube has done jack shit in response to this
He also monetized his apology video
why am i not surprised
https://twitter.com/flavordays/status/948055299021185024 this is a good thread on the topic
so some of you who've been following me for a while know i'm enamored with aokigahara. it's an incredible piece of japanese history along with it's current culture; lemme throw some facts at ya

dont forget the "probably have cure for cancer in 20 years" meme
ok now to add some "awe cuuute" a "emergency kitten" tweet.. https://twitter.com/EmrgencyKittens/status/949683240205463552
@young frigate That made me cry
:< *hugs*
aaand the mod manager has crashed again sigh
uninstall a old mod in order to update it
How about we extradite Logan Paul to Japan for sentencing
Do they still use corporal punishment, like Singapore?
How about we don't endorse tortures?
even if he is a slimeball torture is wrong
hmm does forcing him to watch pewdiepie 24/7 count as torture?
yes
They might be friends, who knows
probably
crap
they probably went to the same, "How to be a youtube douchebag" school
Was Asmongold their professor?
probably
haha
does make it obvious that you have to be a total, utter douchebag arse to make money on youtube, glad the advertisers have had enough
also just so we are clear on this PDP's behaviour is NOT how a "normal" swede would behave
uh huh ๐
he is a national embarasment
Okay, instead of torture
How about we teach him Japanese so he can talk to all the families of suicide victims in Aokigahara
If that doesn't make him feel like utter shit, he's a psychopath and needs to be locked up for the good of society, like a serial killer
(I fell asleep and just finished the twitter topic, sorry):
What a fucking piece of shit
no worries inay maybe you actually should go to bed earlier ๐
My sleep schedule is a mess right now
19h59
20h now that I finished writing it haha
as opposed to americans who have to use AM or PM
though I prefer 24-hour time because I'm such a weeaboo I've been using Japanese time format for years
lol
my macs and iDevices are all set to show 24-hour time but I don't know how to get Win10 to show it
I find the 24h more practical, tho' we use the 12/12 sometimes in day-to-day life, by precising "of the morning/afternoon/evening/night"
Took me years to remember if am was the morning or afternoon. I'm no good with time
huh sounds like me
seconded
I only remember time based around work and my show schedule
I even have six cloxks ont eh wall for different time zones
I don't know, I've never heard of this person (which is not really surprise becasue i can count "famous" youtuber i persoannly know of on one hand)
But now his name been in the news including international news, and .. was there even an actual dead person? Why Japans has dead people in a forest where tourist can go and look for them? WTH is wrong with that country
And yes, 24h and Centigrade for me
Nothing to with Japans though, just what makes sense
the people living there dont go there
xenon I recommend reading up more on aokigahara
this might also help

Yes I looked at libby's link but I can't folow those twitters
its complicated
"Sea of tree" is the kind of place I'd love to see for the trees
I wonder if forests of staves on wandering island is inspired by that now
I've been to Mount Fuji, I was told not to hike the forest, especially solo... the horror stories fromt eh region have lead to a lot of horror films in Japan
stories that make the Slender Man tame
Here is the thing, do you really think logan whatever is the only foreigner who went there as a tourist? But somehow he matters more becasue he is celebrity? Internet celebrity? shrug
The scariest story about slender men that aprpently a 13 year girl will be in mental hostpital for 25 years now because of it
i think it was more due to how he behaved
yeah Xenon, nothing to do with being a foreigner, it's to do with what he DID there
i am really happy now i got my gaming mouse just now in the mail ๐
what brand?
still uses old 'clysm steelseries
CM Storm devastator 2 set here, but it's getting on a bit
Wired Mouse, VersionTech Ergonomic Optical USB Gaming Mouse Mice With 4 DPI Settings Up to 2400 DPI, 7 Colors Cool LED Backlight for Laptop PC Computer Gamer - Black
Are there any other mice that ar natively supported by WoW?
xenon as far i know no
As in you can set keybinds on extended button directly from WoW keybinding ui
well this one does not have those buttons which kinda sucks but oh well
baaah curse you cat curse you! i swear he will drive me crazy
IKR... I just want to brush my teeth after dinner...
Cat that wants a bath?
he happily sits there with the water on
if you turn the shower on, he jumps int eh bath too
stoopid cat
harry doesn't, you turn on a tap and he runs fromt he room
Jackson loves water
he's started bringing fish home from teh stream
doesn't have a yard or any outdoors.
Best the more saggressive of my cat managed is calibri bird that got on the deck
i live in a apartment complex so im not letting them out
Is there anything I can do to get out of this?
I exited Morrowind and this happened
Itโs happened once or twice before and I couldnโt do anything except power off and restart with the power button but I hate doing that since itโs bad for the hardware.
Already tried alt-tab, ctrl-tab, Windows-tab, Windows-D, and control-alt-delete.
Hey folks, if any of you fancy some good tunes while gaming

CAD didn't work?
adhara: vanilla or modded?
try ctr shift esc
looks like the black screen issue is experienced by the overhaul mod
most topics about black screen on exit relates to morrowind overhaul mod
hmm
desktop or laptop?
if on pc there is a topic suggesting a display driver reset by using "Win key+Ctrl+Shift+B"
do you have that morrowind overhaul mod?
MGSO yes
some topics i saw was generally related to that one
hmm theres one topic about running dual screens causing it
I definitely don't have a dual screen lol
ok then we can ditch that part as a cause
some people bypass that issue by tabbing out and (in taskmanager) force closing morrowind
Couldn't alt-tab to anything, couldn't ctrl-alt-delete
Couldn't windows-D to go to desktop
couldn't alt-F4
ok next silly question are you certain you have the newest version of mgso?
Someone in one of the Morrowind Discords says it may be a problem with either sounds, or Animated Containers
and Animated Containers is a mod I can live without so I'll try disabling it lol
"No it doesn't And MW has issues exiting if a sound is being played."
I usually run mine in windowed fullscreen
It's easier to tab in and out than actual fullscreen
I miss having cats
Omg kitty get off the Internet
Also I canโt generally alt-tab out of Morrowind anyway because it messes up the distant land rendering
Good catte
It sounds like graphics driver locking up
I can't think of any other reason why CAD won't work
Peaches is indeed quality catte ๐๐ผ
Precious creatures
even if they drive me crazy errr crazier i still luv em
All the cats ๐
One day, I'll have a maine coon.
The giant cat?
Yeah
you better move all fragile stuff out of reach when you do inay
Funnily, I never had this problem with cats before
.. except that one time when we suspect that the cat and the great dane double teamed to get the meat that was hidden on the fridge
count on it that they tagteamed
The fridge was taller than my parents, so taller than the dog when she was standing on her back paws. Don't know how she could have done it herself
Just made Beer-Basted Boar Ribs from the WoW Cookbook, was soooooo good
i had a very large nebelung for 15 years. he was around 25lbs (~12kg). he very much liked to break things.

how many kitties do you have?
I have two, one of my roommates has two, other roommate has one
aw.
My "little" cat. I'm not allowed to have pets in my apartment so she's living at my parents'. Don't see her as often as I used to ๐ฆ Gotta find a new place where I can have a cat or two
aw, what a qt.
Indeed she is. So are all the others you guys posted. Thanks for that nice dose of catte :3
That black one Adhara posted.. all like "I shall recieve your worship and offerings now"
isnt ALL cats like that? ๐
Haven't seen that side of my sweetheart the 13 years I've had her. She's always been a loving kitty. Never bitten or scratched anyone ๐
i only got bitten ONCE. the striped one panicked over something and bit me in the finger. only happend once
Cats are funny that way I guess. Panicking and the first thing to do is bite the first thing you see xD I had another cat, we got them both at the same time. While she (the orange one I posted) is very gentle and sweet, the male cat we had was quite.. the little devil.
I loved him a lot, he was sweet when he wanted to be. But he has also given me many a scratch and bite.
