I have this problem of replacing French words with English ones because that language is more evolved in my head, loooool. But I can read French in a 80% I'd say.... problem comes when listening to it, I don't grasp one thing :facepalm:

Can I say your Justin Trudeau was a :wub: "sensation" :wub: among women and gay men, when he came to visit us for G-20?? :rofl-lol:

What a fine man, everybody talking about him, HAH!

:P

Movie is fantastic! I loved it so much, made me cry too and the Chinese actor is amazing!

Yeah, I meant that they are pretty much integrated and there's no conflict with them, but they do keep their traditions & culture.

W0000T? :o:lol:

We are so bad! Now we are on our way to destroy beautiful Madrid :facepalm::no:

 

The Chinese have even started singing the ''everybody who doesn't jump is an Englishman'' song.

How is it not different? The US saying "We don't want you here" and turning people away is very different to any country that prevents it's citizens from leaving because it wants to control them.

And in the case of China it’s not only that they can’t leave the country, but also the Hukou system, which restricts the citizens from moving within the country. There are some limited reforms, but it’s still there.

What are you saying? looool

Twitter was on fire last weekend!! :devilshades:

:lol:

 

:lol:

Well his Mother did shag some Rolling Stones and his Dad was a sex symbol too. If you had to listen to him and watch his silly social media stunts on the daily, that butt would deflate instantly! :lol:

This website said that "Portena" was a Buenos Aries resident and that "histericos" was someone who is excited about an attraction. Is that not true?

lol, yeah, Porteños are the residents of CABA only, which is the capital of Buenos Aires.

That website says:
What is “histérico”? In English, hysterical means, among other things, “feeling or showing extreme and unrestrained emotion.” A histérico is insanely seductive and passionate until you start reciprocating, then he or she disappears, and then begins the endless-hot-cold behavior. :lol:

I don't like that word but yeah, I guess it's true.
It's an awful label to carry around. :ph34r:

Oh shit, I guess I misunderstood Histericos!!! :lol: I thought it was just someone who is 'hot and bothered' about an attraction is a passing and unserious way. Didnt mean to speak to any actual attributes about anyone! Was just trying to be funny about the Trudeau thing specifically. Sorry if that came across rude. See, this is exactly what happens to me when I accidentally speak Joual! :lol:

Looks more like that's what happens when you drink too much :lol::slash:

It's 4pm on Wednesday. I don't know if that suits you for drinking, but not me so much :confused:

Good isn't it? I tend to prefer the German bits over the Japanese bits. I enjoy the strange and subversive amalgam of apple pie America with National Socialism. 

It’s a bit like Star Wars for adults. There’s a lot more shades of gray though.

There’s this feeling like maybe Germany did win the war in real life. 

 You’d think PK Dick was writing it as a satire. There’s a moment in the book where that is suggested. As in the Grasshopper Lies Heavy is what really happened, in the book it’s a banned alt history book. In the TV show it’s actual news reel footage which gets that across clearer. 

So PKD was so paranoid he thought the nazis won the war and he wrote a book about how it turned out. But the book somehow skewers that by revealing that the Grasshopper was the truth. Then you get the sense that a war is never really won and the I Ching/chance is the real guiding factor in the world. 

I sort of got the idea that most the book is a satire of a false reality. Amd that somehow is actually what reality is because you don’t or can’t know what reality is until much later.
