I had the same with "pneumonia". As a French, I pronounced it as in my language with an English accent : p'noe'mow'nee'ah l__l

I actually liked the movie (and yes, I watched both series and read the manga...). I think they actually did a good work to summarise such a complex story in a 2hours+ film. My only deception was Winry (because she wasn't blond) and the end (with Lust and her philosophal stone).

I have a very unpopular opinion : I think we should definitely stop helping people who wants their own children (artificial insemination and stuff) and rather encourage them to adopt. :/

When I was small, I was quite afraid by dogs, and especially by the one always pictured as "bad" dogs (Rott, Pits, Doberman, etc.). Then, I got my first dog and I read a lot about dogs's education and their behaviour. And I started to hang out with my neighbour who had 2 pits. Since that day, everytime I met an Amstaff, they were always adorable and obedient. In contrary, I met much more agressive labs and Shepherd.
Pits don't deserve to go extinct. They just deserve good masters.

I remember a few years ago, stewardesses of ANA (Japanese airlines) complained because they were given skirts that were too short to work properly (+ they had to deal with perverts all the time)

It was not an effort since you wanted to do so. :) When I say "effortless", I mean we should never feel constrained to do something to build a good relationship, or it will be unnatural. That's why there are so many toxic or unhappy friendships : because most ppl think they HAVE TO do something and they EXPECT an equal treatment in return (exactly like those "nice guys" who expect to get laid for being nice). I used to feel that way too, until I realised that if I don't expect any "reward", I'm free to be kind or not. Most of the time I'm rather helpful (like, helping to move out, paint walls, fix computers...), but I don't expect anything from my acquaintances. Maybe they'll be nice in return and that's how we'll both build a new friendship. Maybe they won't and since I don't care, I might still be helpful because I like to be, or I can also ignore them because I don't owe them anything. That's how I grew many natural friendships only with natural stuff :p

2/2 : regarding long-term relationships, I've experienced both sides : some people I was friend with turned their back to me, and I also turned my back to some friends. In both situations, there were angry messages from ever sides. My conclusion? It's incredibly pointless and you won't feel any better after that : unless people ask you the question, they don't want to know why the relationship is going badly, especially if you tell them it's because of their behaviour.
I realised it is much easier to accept your friends the way they are and enjoy what they do for you, rather than expecting them to be different and only notice what they don't do for you.
Most of my besties I know for 2 decades live far away. We don't text that much, but I know we still have a deep bond. I don't care if I'm the one who initiate the conversation or if they are : it's always a pleasure to talk to them anyway. Friendships should be effortless. Even marriages :) (happily married for 10 years).

1/2 @Novelus : 1st of all, I wanted to apologise for attacking you, it was not nice. 2nd : I hope you see the difference between doing an effort to text your wife and the mother of your child despite your busy schedule, and not texting some random dude you met online 3 weeks ago. :) That is why I still think he overreacted.
@King_me : again, you talk about long-term relationships, not some dude met not even a month ago. Let's imagine you meet someone nice on an online game : for 2 weeks, you two play together and then, for a week you don't see him/her connected. Would you also send such a message ? I would not, because it's no big deal. And don't say it is not the same because they were clearly looking for a GF/BF : 3 weeks are not a relationship. If he had known her for months, dated her and other stuff, ok, I would totally understand this answer.

Ok, perhaps he didn't want all her attention, you're right.
Still, it is childish to send that kind of message and block any possible conversation. It is neither constructive or kind or useful. It's just pointless, immature and frustrating because she can't explain herself.
Perhaps she had a busy week, perhaps she is an attention-whore, perhaps she is shy, perhaps she knows she is clingy and tried not to be... there may be tons of reasons.
He could have just continue to ignore her and go date / chat with someone else. The point is : instead of just ignore her silence and living his own life, he sent her this message because he was pissed off by her silence and he probably wanted to piss off her too. That is why I'm still convinced he has a high "drama queen" material.
But what afraid me the most is how many people seem to agree with such a behaviour.

[sarcasm]Yes, don't you know people love to get clingy GF/BF ? How nice of him to give her a lesson, then deleting her. So brave and mature, he was trully altruistic here. [/sarcasm]
We don't have much details in that one-perspective story, so I'll try not to over interpret what happened, but with the given information, to me it sounds like 1) she was fond of him (either he didn't realise it or she wasn't clear enough - whatever) and 2) he wanted all her attention and would not tolerate any lack, since he did not offer her at least a chance to explain herself. My opinion is : he was not as great as she thought, and it's too late to do anything about that, so : don't be sad or angry, better think "good riddance".
:)

Chill out Novelus :)
Or get a real life and you'll realise that yes, sometimes a week can be busy as hell and no, texting your Tinder match is not really a priority. Lindsmolinari said it all.
The dude in that story did act as a drama queen by sending this message : he was not expecting any answer or explanation, he just wanted the message to be frustrating, as he cowardly deleted her after sending it. This kind of people are just toxic.

Violence is never a solution, especially with kids, but there is a huge difference between abuse and authority. And if you slap your kids once because they got you mad, it's also ok to tell them "I'm sorry, adults also make mistakes". But all kids are different : some are nice, some are terrible. It looks like none of you have ever met a toddler abusing his parents. I was used to travel a lot and once, I remember I was on a train with a dozen of young kids. All were very quiet and kind, but there was this one little piece of shit disturbing everyone because he was always yelling and screaming for absolutely NOTHING. And his mom acted like it was all normal and said stupid things like "oh sweetie, why are you doing that ?". It was a 5 hours trip... trust me, I don't care when a baby is screaming because it's a damn baby with basic needs. But this kid was a a true demon and in that case, he would have deserved at least a little tap at his bottom with a good time's up.

The same for my husband, especially when we're going to meet my friends or my mom, he's always awfully late :p
I've never understood how some people can need 2 solid hours to get ready, when I just need 20 minutes (shower, dressing and make up included).

I'm French and I feel very sorry for you :(
People in Paris are not very nice, I don't really know why (probably because the underground smells like piss, or because it's crowded, or because they are pissed to see so many foreigners everyday, idk).
I was used to travel a lot abroad and I know how terrifying it can be when you're lost, so anytime I meet tourists who need some help, I always take the time to guide them the best I can, so they can at least remember something nice about their trip.
Once, I remember a road in my town was temporarily closed by a policeman (it was just a matter of 1 hour or so). An English dude was concerned and didn't know where to go to park his car (since this blocked road leads to one of the biggest car park of the town). The policeman was trying to explain him other locations, but he had obviously no skills in English. I could see how relieved the English dude was when I showed up and explained him the directions properly (and so was the police guy xD)

There were no year "0". When people started counting from jesus birth year (or sort of), so it was either " before christ" (-1) or "after chirst"(+1). So, if you count from year " 1", you still need +100 other years to make a new century or +1000 other years to make a millennial. That's why XX century actually started in1901, or 3rd millennial actually started in 2001.
