As a french, I'm sick about pretty blond girls that ask about everything because they are blond girls... Yes you're beautiful, no it's not a pass you can use anytime.

yeah but, like, would you share your joint with anyone? In my culture, if you're with friends, you puff and pass. But i don't think that applies to strangers walking up and asking you for a hit.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

As a Frenchman who's really into live music I would, and I do! Yeah I know, COVID and shit but in the middle of a festival, having a blast and surrounded by like-minded people, if you ask nicely and I have some to spare I'll give you a joint without thinking twice!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

If you are in the middle of the festival, the joint won't transmit that much more Covid than just being together.

Tiny bit of backstory: I work in Spain so there's a lot of kissing on the chicks when greeting someone. Spanish people kiss twice, in western countries people kiss 3 times so sometimes there's a bit of confusion. Anyway, once a girl from Romania met a French co-worker next to my desk. Typical greeting and she says:

  • How do French people kiss?

The guy got a little bit confused and says:

  • Trust me, you don't want me to show you how the French kiss...

Not really related but I found it extremely funny.

We in Chile we kiss only once. Right side of the face. The fist time I greeted a spanish woman I was confused as hell.

Every single European stereotype is true.

Sounds like something a fat stupid American would say.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago (9 children)

fat stupid American

AKA an American.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

how many layers deep is this? the stereotypical european would say something like that. Or is that the joke and I'm just too simple to understand?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Haha it's absolutely the joke mate.

I, a European, objected to being stereotyped in any way so I proved the point by being oblivious to myself doing the exact same thing.

I don't think all Americans are fat and stupid. Some are actually pretty thin as it goes...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Absolutely! I actually met the thin one at a conference once

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Hey, I also met the thin American once. Small world....

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

as a fat stupid american, thank you for explaining the joke, mate

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (9 children)

No worries you adorably chubby simpleton you :) x

Now if you excuse me, I have to get back to not visiting the dentist and having a more advanced sense of humour than you.

What he was trying to politely say is “I’m not sharing my joint with vous

[–] [email protected] 38 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Have they finally rebuilt the city since the war?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's mostly shitty pre WW2 buildings... They do look nice and give the city character I guess.

They're almost an equivalent price now, thanks to taxes on cigarettes.

Mfs talmbout not needing unions, and then turning around and getting the worst work conditions and ending up in a perpetual state of "this is fine".

I would totally see myself doing that. You do me a favor I‘ll do you one. Simple as.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Respond, yes they are the same price. This place doesn't sell cigarettes, I will sell you at same price as beer.
