I just tried making a phone call on the calculator
Focussing on work is going to go gre💤t
Oh good
As I re-read my 200 French History to spot as many mistakes as I can (it's more than 100,000 words, so yep mistakes slip through), I just noticed that the (human) corrector tasked to do that before me actually *added* mistakes
Gee thanks
(Don't trust Word's corrector FGS)
I re-read everything three times on different days to make sure there would be no blatant mistake and now I have to re-read every f**king single 100k word because the person tasked withcorrecting my text added errors...
🤬🤬🤬
FFS the only mistakes I'm correcting now are the ones that were added by the corrector
Almost a 100 pages (quick) checked (yeah because we're late of course we are)
(I need a break)
Still on correcting the correction.
It's hell on Earth. She did not just add syntax, spelling and tense usage mistakes.
She also rewrote some parts.
"As he didn't want his son to get married, the king sent a messenger. Louis XI made sure he got stalled. The king arrived too late"
It was the *messenger* who arrived too late why the f*ck would the king send a messenger to his son Louis XI if he was to go himself oh lord have mercy and preserve me from more of such corrections
I AM DONE
(As in it's finally finished, not as in I can't take it anymore adieu monde cruel)
🍷
À vot' santé

Oh my
Today my 5 years old invited his (also 5 years old) girlfriend.
At one point they went silent.
Yes, that's when you want to go check.
I found them together in bed, drapes shut.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"We're making love" my 5 years old say.
😬 You're WHAT?!? 😬
I mean, he's 5.
We did NOT have this conversation yet.
He knows about daddy's seed meeting mummy's seed in mummy's belly, but the part about how the seed transfers there exactly has not been discussed yet.
Me: "What do you think that means?"
He: "It's how we'll have a baby" 🤨
Other than that, turns out he knows nothing.
His (5 years old) girlfriend was more knowledgeable:
"When you are in love, you go into the bed, you turn off the lights and then the boy puts his leg on you".
And here we went for the discussion about how kids don't grown up stuff.

This is all but surprising (1/2)
OK it'll be more from /2
This was predictable from the very start
This was seen as an opportunity for disinformation from the very start
And highjacked accordingly, by the funders of chaos that, among others, supported Trump/Brexit/Cambridge Analytica
The exact same players playing the exact same game
Again, all but surprising
(Note this network of shadowy funding coincidentally promoted by RT also funds campaigns to dismantle public health. The "pandemic opportunity" to help with that was *not* missed)

I assume it's quite easy to manipulate panicked migrants who've just been told they were going to be sent back to the country they fled starting Thursday
They are basically bullets for Lukashenko

And here it comes
Commit agression through proxies (and/or with the help of secret services), then play the victim blaming the resistance to agression while denying any responsibility
This is so Putin’s book 1.0.1 he should file a complaint for infringement of the copyright
Yes, that’s ironic.
An out of control Belarus requiring “pacification” by an “ally” as it can’t deal by itself anymore is not just gifting Putin a territory he has eyed on for years, but also a border with its other target territory.

"The virus is spreading everywhere! Measures ain't working!"
Or:
So there's no way to get rid of it?
Oh there is.
And it also would get us rid of other viruses (eg remember that thing called stomach flu?), and quite a few nosocomial infections
it's called *ventilation*
I mean...

The algorithm bug doesn't like uplifting words.
(Yeah I'm back at it)
It doesn't take criticism well either.
Oh good it's trolling me now.

Today is WWI Armistice.
When the conflict started, French soldiers were wearing a very patriotic uniform (roughly the same than in the 1870s).
Very easy to spot from afar.
It was the point.
It was to make sure our artillarymen could see their pals and avoid shooting them.
It was indeed very efficient: Even in the messier battle, it was *really* easy to spot French soldiers.
Slight problem: It was *really* easy for the enemy too...
In July 1914, a decision was taken to remplace them with grey uniforms made with blue, white and blue threads.
But - Production facilities where located where the fights raged. Finding colouring agents was, well, tricky -It was war.
So "quickly" a plan B was set:
In August 1915, a new light blue uniform was officially adopted.
Soldiers had to wait until the end of 1916 to be all equipped.
