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.

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 19 points 11 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!

[–] msage@programming.dev 15 points 11 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.

Sounds like something a fat stupid American would say.

fat stupid American

AKA an American.

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 13 points 11 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?

[–] Globulart@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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...

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 11 points 11 months ago

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

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Globulart@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago (9 children)

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.

Have they finally rebuilt the city since the war?

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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