I think they’re getting confused with a similar sign. If you do the peace sign sweeping the fingers upward but with the back of your hand facing the person then that means up yours. Or at least it did when I was younger.

You could call it a colonial mindset. Wonder where that way have come from.

I’ve not got a lot of advice to offer, because what you’re going through is hard and sometimes there’s no easy answer.

I will however tell you from one stranger to another that the shame is misplaced. You have nothing to be ashamed about, because you’re doing the best you can. Sure, some hypothetical you has a shiny clean house and looks like they have all of their shit together but that’s not a real person, and that standard is not useful to hold yourself against. Your mil may very well have a spotless house but you can bet your arse she has other shortcomings where you are absolutely killing it.

Shame like this is almost always a learned reaction from some past events, and almost always it’s utterly unhelpful. You’re getting stuck in a shame spiral treating yourself like shit and then feeling so terrible that you’re in no position to dig yourself out. Try not to hold yourself to impossible standards. Treat yourself like a good friend - do what you can, and then give yourself a break. And try and recognise the areas where you’re doing pretty great, even though the house is a mess. Internet hugs.

Ok, so this is an autistic thing too? I thought it was just my training from lab work seeping into real life.

Pas de quoi, j’espère que ça te seras utile.

Nous avons faites 45m2 (plus une cave) avec 2 meubles à démonter, puis 200km de trajet. Tout compris c’était 1800. Nous avons choisi un devis un peu milieu de gamme (trans dems services) avec les bonnes notes et c’était nickel. Les gars était très pro, très organisé, ça s’est déroulé parfaitement sans stress. C’était aussi une grande première pour moi de payer les déménageurs, je ne regrette absolument pas. (Désolé pour les fautes d’orthographe, ça n’est pas ma première langue)

Je sais pas si c’est adapté à vos besoins, mais nous avons déménagé Paris - Normandie en utilisant le site web nextstories. Très contente avec la prestation.

A côté de chez moi il te donne juste un mini- reçu avec le code barre dessous.

This is an excellent suggestion. Transforms it from massive cringe to pretty self-deprecatingly funny.

Thank you !

Thanks !

Yeah I’ve only seen it with the thin pancakes. It’s one of my favourite foods of all time. I am ecstatic to learn that there is a bun form available.

Where is this comic from? I’d love to find more by this artist. Googling came up with something from Soundcloud crediting Estefanía Irene, an artist who goes by @worry__lines, but I can’t find anything else from them.

Maybe they only made the one, shining, perfect comic and then stopped.

If this is wrong I don’t want to be right.

I hear you though, it doesn’t seem like a traditional combination (not that I’d know). All that aside I’m still sure it’s delicious.

Yup - same in Australia

Same - I could never understand interdental brushes. How the hell was I supposed to get that between my teeth when even I waxed floss won’t fit? So I gave up and now use an electric toothbrush +waterpick when I can be arsed. My dentist is more than happy so I guess I’m doing ok.

Feijoada!

And here again we see the bizarre confusion between the Caduceus and the rod of Asclepius. The one with two snakes (and wings) is traditionally representative of commerce, representing Hermès/mercury. The one for medicine traditionally has the one snake and no wings - symbol of the Greek god Asclepius, the healer.

I see this a lot in representations from the USA - is that the case here ? If so, it seems rather sadly appropriate given the state of US-American healthcare.

I heard in the French commentary that gravel isn’t an option because the track is shared with moto GP and their regs call for a minimum of 5m of asphalt on those turns.

I guess we can here. I’m wondering if they can fix all of the track limits issues on the last two corners with some judiciously placed techpro walls. That way it’s a hard limit the F1 drivers can see easily like in street circuits, and it’s removable for the moto GP. Because I think we can all agree it’s apparently far too tempting for them at the moment to try and gain time on those corners, and it made following the race a nightmare.
