I do agree that we need more empathy. But that empathy can and should be used to have a better humour.

Because i can't stress enough how humour is important in dealing with tragedy. It's one of the greatest tool to overcome it.

That's why you also see American joking about it. Only their jokes might be funnier than European's because they know and emphasize better with the tragedy.

On the other hand, one thing we do share is trying to change without any or not enough results. That's something most countries know about in this day and age. Media and corrupt system is something European's deals with too.

So i get your anger, it's also good, it's a driving force for us to continue trying to change, however helpless we feel.

Where the fuck are you from? Your English spellings swing between US and British versions.

Canadian? Do you fuck moose?!

Close, i'm french (so i fuck frog), and yes that makes sens i learned most of my english from people on the internet.

I usually tend to spell US english more.

But i hesitated with humour, British way is closer to french so both spellings seemed natural to me. (just noticed i used the British one just now)

Is there other British spelling i used?

[โ€“] cashews_best_nut 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No, humour was the only Brit spelling. You used "z" in emphasize whereas Brits would use "s".

Though I'm a little perturbed about the frogs. How often do you fuck frogs? Is it a daily occurrence, weekly? Or just special occasions like Bastille Day?

Well it's a daily routine, every night in fact.

Then you let them rest the night, at sunshine you add butter, some garlic and grill them on the pan.

Breakfast of the champions!
