Isn't that salsa? That's literally vinegar pickled bruscheta. Well, I guess it's got jalapeno.
Or you talking like a spread made from pickled cucumbers? That sounds a lot like relish.
No... Not at all. "gae" Vs "gahgged". Gay has a hard A, gagged had a soft A. Plus gagged had a 'gg' sound in the middle, and also a D sound at the end. Actually, the only thing they have in common is starting with a G.
Do they sound the same to you?
IIRC putaine (used by the connector above), salope, merde. Basically calling things sluts and whores and saying shit.
I've taken this approach with my kids, and although none are teenagers, I've still never got any kickback. For a while now they will even self report and call me if rubbish comes on. Actually, at this point they'd just change it to something quality themselves. I wonder if the reasons I don't like certain videos has sunk in for them, and they're just not interested in weird stuff now? A couple of them push with computer games though. I'm clear and consistent in allowing no first person shooters yet, but they try to get away with it if they think I'm not paying attention.
... You might be right. He has a weird accent, and if he pronounced the 'a' like an American and swallowed the 'gg' ...
Or maybe that's the secret do defeating the Conservatives? "We can totally make an LNG pipeline to the coast, but ... err ... that would make you all pretty gay."
The French would not say that. They swear, but the religious swears are the domain of the Quebecois. Anyway, surprised the waiter even said, "non." I'm my experience more likely to say they didn't understand you and then ignore you.
Cool. I went to a Vietnamese restaurant and ate cow bones/tendons/guts soup once. Actually, lots of times.
People from the Bible times lived longer.
Sublime too!
Madazalam. I've been admitted that stuff twice in a surgical setting. At the time and immediately post-op, I swore I was fine. Looking back: I was not fine.
I really haven't used AI that much, though I can see it has applications for my work, which is primarily communicating with people. I recently decided to familiarise myself with ChatGPT.
I very quickly noticed that it is an excellent reflective listener. I wanted to know more about it's intelligence, so I kept trying to make the conversation about AI and it's 'personality'. Every time it flipped the conversation to make it about me. It was interesting, but I could feel a concern growing. Why?
It's responses are incredibly validating, beyond what you could ever expect in a mutual relationship with a human. Occupying a public position where I can count on very little external validation, the conversation felt GOOD. 1) Why seek human interaction when AI can be so emotionally fulfilling? 2) What human in a reciprocal and mutually supportive relationship could live up to that level of support and validation?
I believe that there is correlation: people who are lonely would find fulfilling conversation in AI ... and never worry about being challenged by that relationship. But I also believe causation is highly probable; once you've been fulfilled/validated in such an undemanding way by AI, what human could live up? Become accustomed to that level of self-centredness in dialogue, how tolerant would a person be in real life conflict? I doubt very: just go home and fire up the perfect conversational validator. Human echo chambers have already made us poor enough at handling differences and conflict.
My eyes are just a little sweaty today.

Did anyone who was actually curious. The beach pictured is almost certainly not on this "subantarctic" island. Not enough albatrii or fur seals, and too many palm trees.
I've really been enjoying Pathfinder 2e. It's a bit crunchy, clean, and mostly comprehensible. I find it a good balance between combat mechanics and world exploration.
Why? Because you think that in spirit Canada and the US are the same thing?
You're on thin ice right now ...
In BC, I hear from nurses that the travel nurses make 1.5-2.0x their hourly wage. Many nurses choose to be travel nurses because it pays better.
Fly into Vancouver airport (YVR), rent a car at the airport, and start driving East.
Dude, it's so big you won't even see each other. The only way I found out is because I worked in Barkerville. Even then, Germans were the minority of visitors, just the most common international tourists. Barkerville is a gold rush ghost town, and I believe a German novelist wrote a series about it.
I mention Germans loving it because culturally it seems you appreciate nature, and you will see some spectacular nature here.
Just be conscious that if you go off trail you could walk for WEEKS without finding another road. Tourists sometimes get lost forever because they just don't trust how vast and empty the wilderness is here.
When you're in Tofino, hire a water taxi to take you to Meares Island. You will see some of the most massive and gnarly redcedars. It's incredible.
EDIT: it is a specific route, definitely. After years of traveling BC and living here, I've given you a route manageable in 3 weeks that is journey oriented more than destination oriented. On that route you will go through an amazing diversity of landscapes and see some of the best of the ocean, the coast mountains, cowboy country, and the Rockies. When a lot of locals don't really know about the Lillooet/Pemberton route because they're trying to bee line in for Vancouver. It's fucking stunning + no commercial traffic.
Nah! They're used to dollar store candies, so I just tell them it's a candy bar. They love the scented ones, a real treat.
