You work your entire life to pay for your headstone.

(Approximate translation of some french punk lyrics that capture the same sentiment)

True, but I don't think many of them would say that to your face (including musk who I assume would pretend to be neolib, who do kind of have a hate boner for basic research, at least in my country)

Will do. I'm basically one decent trailer away from impulse buying it anyway. As a fellow game developer, allow me to say: I truly wish things will get better for you guys.

I mean, the boat appears to be pretty close to the coast, and not very big. I'd just call the coast guard and there are good chances that nobody dies.

Maybe my taste buds aren’t refined but I can’t tell the difference

There is practically no difference unless you fully defreeze it in a microwave which will usually make it feel soggy. However you can get it mostly defrosted in the microwave, and finish the job in an oven, and it will basically feel like fresh bread

Yeah but sometimes it might not because that is not the main goal ! Useless, I tell you !

I want to get off the "interesting times" wild ride

Neolib idiots don't see the (immense) value of fundamental research because it doesn't directly generate profits, more at 11

I feel like with Facebook it's more of a YouTube situation where they don't care as long as it makes them money and no major regulator raises their eyebrows. Which is despicable, don't get me wrong, but Twitter is not just doing that, it is actively endorsing these mfs

"Vous" is the first one that comes to mind in french. But since it is also a more formal (and/or "respectful") version of "tu/toi", it can both designate a group of people or a single person, depending on the context (just like "you" in English). Sometimes people will use "vous tous" (literally "you all") to make this clear.

It is a little better than the "you" situation in English since if you are speaking with someone that is not using the singular form of "vous" to speak about you (which is basically anyone you are familiar with unless they are your boss or In-laws and kind of oldschool), it is instantly clear what they mean at least.

Also, a lot of kids don't have the slightest idea of what the "save" icon in their apps represents. They just know it's the save icon because it's everywhere
