17·9 months agoIn french: “Dépaysement”.
It’s the feeling a person gets when discovering a foreign country, a new culture. It’s usually used in a very positive manner.
1·9 months agoYes, I’m using it as well. It works very well on android and Linux.
I don’t think so, I will definitely go back and do not wish to move permanently in another instance.
As others have said I think this instance has a strong base of dedicated users, it’s a “specialized” instance that has no equivalent.
It’s the opposite for me. I don’t want the effect of alcohol, I just want a nice drink to complement my meal and is hard to find something that in neither sugary or alcoholic.

Man Bites Dog (C’est arrivé près de chez vous)
A mockumentary made by student filmmakers. The plot is that they are doing a documentary following the life of a serial killer.
The dark humor of this movie is incredibly disturbing but it’s really a movie to watch.
The movie is available on archive.org : https://archive.org/details/man-bites-dog
3·9 months agoI used the tool when looking for a house to buy.
I was looking in a mountainous area so the amount of sun a house gets in winter can vary quite a lot. Even a few hundred meters can make a huge difference in some cases.
I really like the duduk.

The most well known piece is probably the gladiator music.
I went to the casino with friends around 12 years ago. We agreed to get a few coins (around 20€ or so) at the beginning, play them and leave once we run out of coins.
Everyone lost their coins except me, I left with like 27€. It was the only time I went to the casino.
So now I can never go in a casino again ! I have a perfect record, I’ve always won against the casino and I intend to keep it this way my whole life.
The Nazi eugenics program was also strongly inspired by what the US was doing at the time.
It’s just that the Nazi went a bit too far, too obvious (and mainly they lost the war). It was one of the arguments of the defense in the Nuremberg trial that the German eugenics differed little from what was practiced in the US.
