2024.06.02 08:39 AllBark_NoBite_007 IS COMMON DOG SENSE SEEPING IN?
The Paris rain forced our resident HaPpY hAlF FrEnCh CoUpLe to “retire” to their posh pad, which allowed poor crumb to actually relax and take a nap!!! Way to go, 🍌/🦢.
FYI: The American Kennel Club states that puppies need 18-20 hours of sleep A DAY in order to become well-adjusted dogs. Perhaps Italian pups living in France only need 4 hours, just like their mumsy??? It's so confusing.
But props for posting a proper photo of a sleeping thing that doesn't give us all the ick factor.

2024.06.02 08:26 JacketNational7526 AITA for telling a child to play with my Weiner?
For context I (30M,) was seeing this guy (40M) for a little over two months. His friends (43M,44F) have a (10M) son. They all came over to the guy I was seeing house. I had driven over an hour and half, and planned to stay the weekend. Guy was doing a fish fry and invited a few folks over. As we were all drinking, and shooting the sh!t. The son came over near the end. When all of us had a bit too many. He started to challenge all the guys there to fight. Which a few obliged. I on the other hand don’t like to be touched. So I told him my dogs would fight him instead. I have 5 dogs, (4 French bulldogs, and 1 Weiner) all of them in a cage. When I introduced my dogs. I said these are my French bulldogs, here’s the dad (pointed to my oldest, and he’s in the cage with his two sons. I then point to my female, and then say that’s my weiner dog next to her.) At the time my Weiner dog was growling and barking out of all of them. She’s aggressive, but weighs like 8lbs. I then say he can wrestle with my Weiner, who is barking and growling, and he looks at me weird. Yet I’m pointing at my dog. Mind y’all, there’s a full pool table between us. And I was never close to this kid. He laughs and says oh I thought… then stops what he’s saying. I said no. My Weiner dog. He just laughs then goes back to the group. I go to the bathroom, cause I needed to piss. The guy I was seeing comes in and basically tells me I was being a pedo. I was confused. Cause I only call these dogs and grew up calling them Weiner dogs. I explained that it’s not my fault his parents didn’t tell him what a Weiner dog is, and told him I introduced my dogs and said that’s my Weiner dog. He then goes on. Yet that’s a child, how are they to know. Yet CBS(Oswald) and Adventure Time both have hot dogs in buns for reference of a Weiner dog on kids shows. Which I mentioned. Now this kid plays GTA5 and call of duty, fortnite. Yet I guess his friends and the son thought I was being predatory. So I told him goodbye and left. AITA for telling him to F off, and blocking him? (Mind y’all also, they say things way worse than me telling him if he wants to wrestle he can wrestle with my Weiner.) AITA?

2024.06.02 06:35 13CraftyFox Fashion Photographs by André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri (1819-1889) Possibly Misdated?
| Here are some lovely Carte de Visites by the French photographer André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri (1819–1899). The Metropolitan Museum of Art has these photographs dated 1858–1868, but I’ve always thought that the fashion looked closer to 1870. Certainly not 1850s or even mid-1860s. The photographer worked in this style of portraiture until 1871, so these must be from before that date. Does anyone else think these are probably from 1869–71? I know the French were generally the forerunners in fashion, but with the high braided hair and looped overskirts, these seem very First Bustle era to me. I’ve never seen a fashion plate with this style until the end of 1868. I could be totally wrong though! Let me know what y’all think! submitted by 13CraftyFox to fashionhistory [link] [comments] |
2024.06.02 06:17 Havoc_Guild_1204 Historicity of Reports of Arabs Being Amazed by the Recitation of the Quran during the Prophet's Time
When Walid ibn al-Mughira - God's curse be upon him! - chief of Quraysh and a man known for his eloquence heard [the Qur'an], he was struck into silence, his heart turned numb, his eloquence forsook him, his argument collapsed, his case was devastated, his impotence clearly appeared and his wits were befuddled; and he said: By God, there is a certain sweetness to his words, a certain grace
Sophia Vasalou's "The Miraculous Eloquence of the Qur'an: General Trajectories and Individual Approaches", Journal of Quranic Studies
What do you guys think of this quote? Do you think it's a fabrication? Or perhaps it has kernels of truth?
I think it these kinds of reports might have kernels of truth, with exaggerations here and there.
Considering I've seen many non-muslims on the internet describe how beautiful they find the recitation of the Quran to be, I don't think the nature of the above report, and others like it are complete fabrications.
Some examples from youtube comments:
English:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R1LKPRwxR4 "i am not Muslim or any specific religion, but this is beautiful and calming. I can understand the reasoning behind the devotion of life to Allah and being Muslim in general. "
"I am hindu ,listening this holy Quran....very soulful"
"I'm not a Muslim. This has spoken to me about a person who I once was but either didn't know, or forgot about. It is absolutely beautiful. I feel calm and warm "
"I'm not Muslim but I find Quran recitations very beautiful and calming to listen to ️ Many of the verses (?) I've heard are so eloquent and poetic."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWt5_NJuhME "I am italian, I am not muslim but I always listen to these preyers because they relax me I don't know why"
"am not muslim but i love to listen to this beautiful recitation of Quran. Amen"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BzCpV43t_A "I am a Hindu, didn't understand anything but it was peaceful God bless everyone who is reading my comment"
"I'm Christian but im absolutely stunned every time I hear a recitation of the Qur'an"
"I automatically wounder if my faith in Christianity is in vein cos I can't stop crying whenever I hear a quruan recited by any person"
French:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfBuqT-qM3o "Je suis pas musulman mais ça m’empêche pas de trouver ça magnifique! Que dieu nous garde uni - I'm not Muslim but that doesn't stop me from finding it magnificent! May God keep us united"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QQEX9eAWlI "bonjour,je ne suis pas musulmane..je n'arrive plus à dormir depuis quelques mois mais je suis tombée ici par hasard..je me suis endormie en 20 minutes,merci à cette magnifique religion en tout cas prenez soin de vous -hello, I'm not Muslim..I haven't been able to sleep for a few months but I came across here by chance..I fell asleep in 20 minutes, thank you to this magnificent religion in any case take care of yourself "
"Je ne suis pas musulmane et j'écoute le Coran qui n'est que magnifique et je ressens une grande paix un appel et une force à faire Ramadan..Dieu est grand et tout puissant..je suis apaisée - I am not Muslim and I listen to the Koran which is only magnificent and I feel great peace, a call and strength to do Ramadan..God is great and all powerful..I am peaceful"
Spanish:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bV5_4h14oA "Me encanta yo soy cristiano pero me gusta mucho escuchar el coran me relaja mucho gracias a dios allah es unico dios - I love it, I am a Christian but I really like listening to the Koran, it relaxes me a lot, thank God, Allah is the only God."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H2cOr0578g "Divino, magestuoso soy católica pero admiro mucho su devoción y entrega al mismo Dios, cantan con el alma esto extremece al que lo escucha. El mismo Dios se complace por esto. - Divine, majestic, I am a Catholic but I greatly admire their devotion and dedication to God himself, they sing with their soul, this excites those who listen to it. God himself is pleased by this."
"no soy musulman ,pero que hermosa voz y transmite una paz que no puedo describir con palabras. - I am not Muslim, but what a beautiful voice and it transmits a peace that I cannot describe with words."
German:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JklwnIrroAg "Ich bin zwar Christin, aber habe sehr Respekt vor dem Islam. Ich finde das sehr friedlich in schweren Zeiten - I am a Christian, but I have a lot of respect for Islam. I find it very peaceful in difficult times"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaNQfZ6C0Mk "Bin keine Muslimin. Aber der Koran zu hören, nimmt mir meine Sorgen und beruhigt mich -I am not a Muslim. But listening to the Koran takes away my worries and calms me down"
Portuguese:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfuY2spWdJI "Sou católica,mas ouvir o alcorão me dá uma paz inexplicável -I'm Catholic, but listening to the Quran gives me an inexplicable peace"
"NAO SOU MUÇULMANO MAS QUANDO OUÇO AS SURAS DO SAGRADO ALCORÃO SINTO UMA PAZ PROFUNDA...ASSALAM ALEIKU!!!! -I AM NOT A MUSLIM BUT WHEN I LISTEN TO THE SURAS OF THE HOLY QURAN I FEEL A DEEP PEACE...ASSALAM ALEIKU!!!!"
"Não sou Mulçumana mas sinto uma profunda emoção ao ouvir. -I'm not Muslim but I feel a deep emotion when I hear it."
Russian:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1xk0E3bzqU "Я русская, не религиозна, слушаю 1 раз, почему плачу не знаю...... - I’m Russian, not religious, I listen to it once, I don’t know why I’m crying......"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFpjyPbjUj8 "Я конечно христианин, но все равно слушаю Коран, всем Мира и добра в доме братья, Аллах велик - Of course, I am a Christian, but I still listen to the Koran, Peace and goodness to all in the house brothers, Allah is great"
"Я не мусульманин, надеюсь пока что, но обожаю слушать Священный Коран.
- I am not a Muslim, I hope so far, but I love listening to the Holy Quran."
Japanese:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaJq5yyYlB4 "無宗教ですが、この綺麗な音とと言葉…心が穏やかになります - I'm not religious, but these beautiful sounds and words make me feel at peace."
"祈りの言葉は、宗教の壁を超えて美しいと感じるけれど「宗教」となった途端に争いが起きるのは悲しい、と思うのは日本人的感性でありましょうか。 - I feel that the words of prayer are beautiful and transcend religious barriers, but I also feel sad that as soon as they become a "religion" conflict arises. Perhaps this is a Japanese sensibility."
"夕方にアザーンが流れる国に住んでます。結婚を機に移住して、毎日流れるアザーンと、ラマダン時期の楽しそうにしてるイスラム教徒の方々見て癒されてます。 宗教的に犬とかダメな人多いけど、誰にでも優しいからいい国。 - I live in a country where the adhan is played in the evening. I moved here when I got married, and I find it comforting to hear the adhan every day and to see Muslims having fun during Ramadan. Although there are many people who are against dogs for religious reasons, it is a great country because it is kind to everyone."
"とても美しい
心が清められるようでした。 - It was so beautiful and my heart felt purified."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3pETCq8KHo "イスラム教、とても好きなので、いっそのこと仏教徒を辞めて、イスラム教徒になろうかと思う今日この頃。でもラマダンの時、戒律破りそうなので難しい(笑)特に暗い時、午前4時頃聴くと、本当に心が洗われる気がする。 - I love Islam so much that I've been thinking about quitting Buddhism and becoming a Muslim. But it's difficult because I might break the rules during Ramadan (lol). When I listen to it at around 4am, especially when it's dark, I feel like my heart is cleansed."
Korean:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXQNF67nodc "종교를떠나 음율이 아름다워 마음에 웅장함과 평온이 느껴집니다 -Regardless of religion, the melody is beautiful and brings grandeur and peace to the heart.
I feel it"
"말레이시아 살아봐서
늘 새벽부터 듣던 소리입니다
지금은 저소리가 듣고싶어서
제가 이렇게찿아서 듣곤하네요 Because I lived in Malaysia
It's a sound I've always heard since dawn.
I want to hear that sound now
I often listen to it like this."
"종교를 떠나 너무 아름답습니다. Regardless of religion, it is so beautiful."
"와 왜 종교에 빠지는지 알것같다.... 이슬람에 편견을 갖고있어서 싫어했는데 꾸란 자체는 음율이 있어 노래부르는것 같이 아름답네
마음의 안정도 오고 푹 빠지게 되는듯 Wow, I think I understand why people fall for religion... I was prejudiced against Islam and disliked it, but the Quran itself has a melody and is beautiful, like singing...
I feel like I'm getting peace of mind and falling in love with it."
With all this in mind, I think the historicity of the reports of arabs being amazed by the Quran during the Prophet's time are a possiblity.
What do you guys think?

2024.06.02 04:30 IAmHerdingCatz Finally seeing some progress!
| In fall of 2019 we raised our slanted yard and made it more level, then took out a 2 feet strip across the front for my herb garden. Following an u seasonably cold winter, the herbs struggled last summer. Some got a bad leaf mold, but they all pulled through. This year they are coming on strong and I'm so thrilled! The plan is to take out another 3 foot strip this fall--2 feet for the herbs to expand, and 1 for a little walkway. I'm not as experienced as y'all, but I'm still proud of my humble beginning. Herbs are Spanish lavender (very drought tolerant. Also able to survive in near flood conditions.) 4 rosemary, 2 types of oregano and 1 or marjoram, 1 sage, 4 thyme, 1 chive. I planted tarragon and Greek basil yesterday, and after the next torrential rains I've got summer savory and French lavender to go in. Our hardiness zone is listed as 8a, 8b, and 9--all in the same zip code. Also described as "between cool-summer Mediterranean climate and Oceanic climate. Think rain. No--think LOTS of rain. Also, you should taste my spaghetti sauce with all these fresh herbs! submitted by IAmHerdingCatz to NoLawns [link] [comments] |
2024.06.02 03:47 Careless-Mix1372 Some old wholesome writing about Techno ft. His little sister #Technoblade25
| For some context me and my friend Kat used to write dsmp fanfiction (yea ik cringe) we always took our own spin on the dsmp characters and lore. As an example in one of Technos videos he talks about taking french and decided to make ‘piglin language’ just be french. It was honestly some of most fun and creatively enjoyable times of my life and all of it inspired me to try and become an author. These stories stemmed from watching Technoblades video “ train ‘em young” which featured his little sister, me and Kat thought they were absolutely adorable and im a sucker for wholesome bother sister dynamics. This is definitely one of my favorite videos. Me and Kat finally caved and wrote some short stories about them after finding this equally adorable animatic of that video and we’ve decided to share them for Techno’s 25th birthday. We gave his sister our own name, Kaskara, which is a type of blade, we were also inspired by some art we found but I wont be showing it as I dont know who it belongs to. In some of our stories Kaskara was his biological sister and others had a bit more backstory and she was adopted by him but still kept a brother sister dynamic. Techno was an amazing and kind person and it shines through even more in that video. I hope all of his family including his sister are doing well with such a difficult time and I hope they know they’re not alone. Techno affected all of our lives in such positive ways and I couldn’t be more grateful for such a lovely family raising such an kind and genuine son. Kats is the first one and mine is the 2nd, which is unfinished. I hope you enjoy and please consider watching the videos I linked as they are just so wholesome. submitted by Careless-Mix1372 to Technoblade [link] [comments] |

2024.06.02 01:29 prettygirlr0ck Needing Radish Advice
I’m new to gardening and still learning how to balance my soil nutrients. I started some radishes in a container about 25 days ago. They are from a seed blend of french dressing, pink beauty, cherry belle, purple plum, sparkler, and white hailstone radishes. The seed packet estimates 27-35 days to harvest.
The sprouts are doing really well and are 4+ inches tall, some with 2-3 sets of leaves, but they aren’t developing bulbs. I realized about a week ago that the fertilizer i’ve been watering with is super high in nitrogen and low in phosphorus, which has led them to develop great leaves, but that’s about it. I added bone meal to their soil last week to boost the phosphorus, but I’m not sure if that will make a difference. Can they still develop bulbs at the bottom or am I too late? I’m not sure if I should pull them up and start over or if there is still some hope for them.
Any advice y’all have would be amazing!

2024.06.02 01:06 SkazzK Manau - Fest Noz de Paname; quelle danse (traditionelle)?
Bonsoir mes ami(e)s Français(es),
Veuillez me pardonner mon Français rouillé, mais j'ai une question à laquelle j'aurais du mal à obtenir une réponse satisfaisante chez nous, aux Pays-Bas.
Je viens de visiter mon tout premier bal "balfolk", étant invité par ma chère amie, et j'ai passé une super soirée en dansant sur des mélodies traditionelles. (Ayant deux pieds gauches, je n'aurais jamais cru que ça serait si rigolo!)
Durant ma adolescence, j'aimais bien la musique du groupe "Manau", surtout leurs deux premiers albums. (Un peu de contexte: mon père est né en France, et m'a appris le Français depuis ma naissance, mais je n'ai jamais atteint une maîtrise totale de la langue. On a perdu le contact au début de mon adolescence, et cette musique m'a aidé, à l'epoque, à me connecter à mes racines un peu.)
En dansant ce soir, j'avais l'impression que les danses que j'apprenais (des gigues, des gavottes, etc.) s'accorderaient bien avec la musique bretonne de Manau. Mais n'ayant aucun expérience en la matière (ni la danse, ni la culture bretonne), je ne sais pas quelle danse conviendrait à la chanson "
Fest Noz de Paname" que j'aime tant.
Y a-t-il quelqu'un (un(e) danseu-euse?) qui pourrait me dire quelle danse correspond à cette chanson? Ma amie et moi nous sommes promis de répéter ensemble, et j'aimerais utiliser cette chanson.
Merci d'avance pour votre réponse!
(PS Pardon my English, but the "practice"/"répéter in my last sentence, should that have been "pratiquer"? I was looking for the word that conveys the meaning "trying until you learn", much like I wrote the above post in French to
practice my French.)

2024.06.01 23:23 Razwog Can I use shallots to make a french onion soup?
I have too many f*cking shallots and need to use them before they go bad. Can I use them as a base for a French onion soup? I've tried to look this up before posting and it seems unclear as to whether its possible/actually a good idea.
EDIT: Damn y'all, it's wild I'm getting downvoted so much for just asking a question. I don't normally cook with shallots, I was just wondering if the flavor is any different from the traditional soup. Sue me. Also, I live alone, so "a lot of shallots" is only really a few pounds of shallots that I got on special and therefore need to use up.
My plan is now to use my vidalias and red onions knocking about along with the shallots to make a big batch of soup that I can keep and freeze portions of. Thanks to those who contributed to the thread with your advice!

2024.06.01 22:31 Narrow-Wish3886 Has any other south American or Latin American seen those cringeworthy videos about being Latino made in the US by Americans with LAtin American heritage?
I was watching some of them to practice my English and understand more about the US etc.
Found some channel named pero que, and then mitu and a few more.
I saw a few videos that made me go like... Are these people retarded?
There is a video called:
Words in Spanish white people cant pronounce.
Meanwhile South America has white people by the millions and they speak Spanish perfectly, including millions of white Brazilians who can also speak Spanish quite well because they learned it at school or in their free time. Europe is also full of white people who can speak Spanish, and met tons of whites from the US who can speak Spanish too.
BTW Spain the country that gave the world the Spanish language is whiter than the US. Check the map (Hint: is in Europe)
Another one is...
You are not Latino if... And then they say stupid crap like.... you dont cook with Yoga seasoning. I didnt even know what that was, in Colombia there is no such thing, we have our own national brands and seasonings. Might be Goya not Yoga.
Or the jewel of them all.
You are Hispanic even if you cant speak Spanish.
How can be Hispanic if one cannot speak the language? The whole purpose of the label Hispanic is to highlight the fact that your mother tongue is Spanish.
Itd be me like saying, I am Anglophone but I cannot speak English. Then how am I an Anglophone?
And then the videos are done in US English, but when they switch to Spanish you can tell they force themselves to sound really but really Latin American.
Another one is,
You are not LAtin American if your aunt doesnt beat you with the chancla.
In Colombia corporal punishment to children is punished and parents DO get arrested.
Not only that, if my aunt would have hit me with some slipper, my dad would have made sure its the last time she comes anywhere near his family.
I never heard of people in latin America letting the aunt beat their kids with a slipper. Ive been in most of south America incl. Brazil, never saw Yoga or Goya food items.
And how can you be Hispanic if you cant speak Spanish? Yeah and I am a Francophone, but I cannot speak French. Doesnt make sense.

2024.06.01 21:15 Creative_Insect500 Where to watch
2024.06.01 21:02 stewblock2023 I am making and planning a what-if the yellow background/orange background’s characters were replaced by new characters?
This is my idea of what if instead of the same characters from the B&W Part, they replaced it with new characters, to symbol how Dangerous the world is, and it will use the designs of the same heads used in my previous post, here are the characters who would replace them: • The Small Green Thing. • Musti. • Miffy. • Gadget Heckwanch. • Freddie (Bitty Big Heads version only). • Handy. • Vinni Pukh. • Po Ping. • Roary the Racing Car. • Gumball Watterson. • Squidward. • Clancy. • Belle Butterfly. • The LemonLand Mascot. • Pike from Pike's Lagoon. • The screaming evil paper thing aka the Virus from Pencilmation. • 3 from Number Lore (Derpy Eyes). • Bernie from Zig & Sharko (The Face when he gets his hand bitten by the plant in The Gardener). • the Yellow Shirt Kid from Boundaries by Hopscotch. • The Frog from If You’re Happy & You Know It by Muffin Songs. • Uncle Grandpa. • DogDay. • Blue (MAD version only). • Garfield. Colin the Computer. Ronald McDonald (McDonaldland Fun-Doh version only). Pink from Rainbow Friends (Rusrock version only because I like her design in Rainbow Nightmares). Peter Griffin. A Rabbid. The little girl from Hello by Muffin Songs. Nostalgia Critic. Kim Jong-un (NOTE: I still hate him, but I only like his Presidents counterpart). Ambrose Burnside. Bill Cipher. An inanimate clock. Iscream. Joseph Stalin (NOTE: I still hate him). John Cena. Chicken from Cow & Chicken. Ricky Bowers. Mammott. Baroness von Bon Bon. Mr. Blobby. Snoopy. A cat from PJ Pugapillar’s sad Origin Story by Gametoons. A Tyrannosaurus-Rex. Shrek. Troll Face. Lil’ Sam Lil’ Cat Lil’ Dice The Vandal from Matanim’s Cabinet Man Animation. A Blockster. Kevin Felix. Braden Broome. Bigmouth. Taylet Toad. A Creeper. The Block Of Eternal Screaming. Marge from Fright Night. Violin Girl from Courage The Cowardly Dog. (Scary Face) Upset Tune. RB. Mario. Wario. Goofy. Bambi.
And in the orange background part for the Hitler Andreas Hykade Mickey Mouse Hybrid Screaming will be Matthew Littermore’s Angry Screaming Face from Cartoonmania: The Movie, Handy’s Screaming Face from Don’t Yank My Chain, Evil Leafy with Scribble Mouth open, The Piano from DHMIS Fathers Day by Animeshun Man in his “Deafening Scream Form”, all fused in one as the screams from original Love & Theft gets replaced by Handy’s Scream, The Howie Scream, The Love & Theft Bitgewitter Preformance Scream and Tension in 1:47, Evil Leafy’s Roar, and the T-Rex’s Death Scream from N00bs Man Retreat mixed together and in distorted and glitchy effects, and the building up what appears to be a angry buff Gromit looking drug being, and then goes to transitioning characters who have appeared in this section such as: The Fish from DCTF. The Zookeeper from Zoonomaly. Tom Pelican/Pouli. Gregory Heffley. Freddy Fazbear. Flumpty Bumpty. Jane from The FNAF Movie. Pinocchio. Cheesehead Cheddarboy/Spugna. Gary The Snail. And in the Tongue Frenching part, the characters appear in this section as couples/2 characters from shows as: P & G from Alphabet Lore. X & Y from Alphabet Lore. Goku & Naruto. Sonic & Tails. Chuchel & Kekel. The Little Boy & The Bully from Happy Game. Orion & The Dark. Poochee & Pansy. Godzilla & Ghidorah. Frisk & Chara. And then at the pulling mutated thing with veins part. The characters appear as Riley & Maya from Girl Meets World (Stop-Motion & Cartoon style from World of Terror.) and the mutated thing with veins is replaced of what appears to be some blob-like part with textures of frames of Videos from Gen Z Traumas, and at the mutated characters part. It will have parts of real life animals, inanimate objects, B-Day’s Drawings such as the clock from the Mallrooms 2.5 footage, the bootleg hybrids from the Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers movie, the character mashups from Sporcle, the original and same characters from the original Love & Theft fused with the replacements and along with the Gen Z trauma characters mixed with them & etc, And at the zooming in part, it will show the same characters but will be extended after the blue triangle zooms in, and reveals most of the replacements with the DHMIS 1 Let’s Get Creative Tension as the blue texture turns to a reddish hue. And then flashing lights then zooms to black background.

my old post about an archive I was working on of all the tracks deadmau5 released on his "fuckmylife" SoundCloud account over the years: my work on the archive is finally over, I organized all the info I was able to gather thanks to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine and other sources in this
Google Sheets document (read the document FAQs for detailed info) and uploaded all the files on the Internet Archive
here.
I made a
similar document regarding the tracks deadmau5 released on his old "Suckscription" service on live.deadmau5.com, and user Hydra made a similar archive, based on the info in my document, of all the tracks in their highest quality available (almost all of them are the original WAV downloaded from the service at the time, and then converted to FLAC for space efficiency) which was also uploaded to the Internet Archive: you can find it
here.
You can also find both archives in this subreddit's sidebar.
I'll paste the text of my SoundCloud archive entry on the Internet Archive, containing all the info and links you might need:
Deadmau5 "fuckmylife" SoundCloud Archive – version 1.0.2 (see changelogs below)
This is the archive of all the tracks, together with correct tags and cover arts, that Joel Zimmerman (a.k.a. deadmau5) uploaded to
his "fuckmylife" SoundCloud page over the years, all the info for all the tracks were derived from the wayback machine and organized in
this Google Sheets document (see the FAQs in the document for more info).
This archive is meant to be the most historically accurate possible and to preserve an otherwise lost part of deadmau5' production.
If you think you can contribute missing files/info to this archive contact me at any of my contacts you can find in the FAQs of the document below. To make it short these are the files we're still missing (for info missing see the
Google Sheets document):
- "Dub5tepthingie": The file in the old archive is 5:42 instead of 1:08 and appears to be a fan made edit, Interestingly the first section of the file we have is exactly 1:08 long, and the waveform matches perfectly except for a fade out that was added at the end, so we cannot cut the rest and obtain back the original (still looking for the original rip)
- "Channel 41": The file in the old archive was 1:23 instead of 0:37 (and appears to be a fan edit): downloaded from Youtube in its native AAC VBR and Opus forms (still looking for an original SoundCloud rip)
- "mnml": Missing in the old archive: downloaded from Youtube in its native AAC VBR and Opus forms (still looking for an original SoundCloud rip)
- "Fn Pig": Missing in the old archive: Upsampled 320kbps MP3 version recovered thanks to Discord user Hydra (duration and waveform matches), still looking for an original SoundCloud rip
- "Track 01": The one in the old archive is an upsampled 320kbps MP3 version (probably originating from Youtube), a better 320kbps MP3 version recovered thanks to Discord user Hydra (still looking for an original SoundCloud rip)
- "drop the poptart": The one in the old archive is an upsampled 320kbps MP3 version (probably originating from Youtube), still looking for an original SoundCloud rip
- "Gula" [the 4:22 one]: Missing in the old archive: downloaded from Soulseek user WonderingMeow (duration and waveform matches) and is an upsampled 320kbps MP3 version (still looking for an original SoundCloud rip)
- "fuck you too": The one in the old archive is an upsampled 320kbps MP3 version (probably originating from Youtube), still looking for an original SoundCloud rip

- "2014-2016" folder: The 46 tracks Joel uploaded to his SoundCloud from after the hiatus to the hacking of his account on 24/05/2016 together with all the corresponding cover images when present
- "Other formats" folder: Some of the tracks that are still visible in the original SoundCloud account were ripped in 256kbps AAC format thanks to SoundCloud GO+ (using yt-dlp with maximum quality settings), alternative 128kbps MP3 versions of these tracks (also directly ripped with yt-dlp) are included in this folder. This also includes tracks that were downloaded from Youtube in their alternative Opus format, tracks that were recovered thanks to Discord user "Hydra" in 320kbps MP3 form (this is upsampled from the original 128kbps SoundCloud rip, and some of them have also fade-in/out added to them or different durations), and a 320kbps MP3 version of "BYE!" (converted by me from its original WAV). All these tracks have an identical set of tags to the main version in the other folders. See the FAQs below form more info

FAQ from the google sheet document: - Q – We already have an archive of all deadmau5 "fuckmylife" SoundCloud tracks, why making another one? A – What I refer to as "the old archive" (it rather exists in multiple more or less complete versions out there in Mega/Drive links, torrents, etc.) is actually not complete at all and contains multiple errors as you might notice by the differences to this document: the tracks that were already removed or made private by Joel at the time the original author made the old archive were not known to them and thus not included, some of them were later added in subsequent versions of the archive but were not original 128kbps SoundCloud rips, and so are to be considered "altered" and worse quality, also a lot of dates and titles were wrong or partial. I wasn't satisfied with it and decided to use a proof-based method through the wayback machine to try and reconstruct the tracks list in the most accurate way possible (I did a similar document for the "Suckscription service" tracks, and discord user Hydra made a lossless archive).
- Q – This info is wrong, the wiki and MusicBrainz says something different! A – I updated the wiki with the more correct and complete info from this document, a new and better wiki was made, the page about the SoundCloud account was also made with info from this document. The MusicBrainz entry (and other sources like that) is derived from the old archive (a new MusicBrainz entry was made for this archive and will be kept updated).
- Q – Where is "Gula Redeux"? A – I looked extensively for proof of its existence on SoundCloud at any given moment but found none, this is not ultimate proof that it never existed either, but I lean more towards it not being a SoundCloud track: "Gula" (2nd version) and "777" were supposedly uploaded the same day and they both got a twitter post sharing them, while there is no trace of "Gula Redeux" anywhere, also, on 2013-11-23 the total tracks counter says there were 9 tracks on the account: those being the 7 deadly sins tracks + "Gula" (2nd version) and "777". We know for a fact that it was one of the "Suckscription service" tracks and it was probably included by mistake in the old archive by its author.
- Q – Where is "deadmau5 - Survivalism" (the one with no date in the filename)? A – This is included in some of the old archives you can find out there, not sure why: this is the same exact file of "Deadmau5 - Survivalism (ins)", most likely an error by the original author.
- Q – Where are the deadmau5 and Armin Van Buuren collaboration files? A – These were included in the old archive by its original author just to share them: they were never uploaded on SoundCloud (with the exception of "arm1n_3"), their origin is a series of Dropbox links posted on Twitter and, as such, they are beyond the scope of this archive and thus not included.
- Q – Where is the stuff from the official Deadmau5 SoundCloud account? A – That account, as far as I know, is managed by the label, not by Joel himself, and only includes stuff that is already officially released, so I'm not including it, this archive is for the "fuckmylife" stuff.
- Q – I have one of the missing original SoundCloud rips/I can fill some of the missing info, how do I contribute to this? A – Feel free to message me at u/scorched_boi on Reddit or send me an [email](mailto:askimpossiblegeometry@gmail.com), and thanks!
- Q – Why are some tracks M4A/Opus instead of MP3? A – The tracks that are still visible in the original account after it reappeared on 2024-04-02 were ripped using yt-dlp, some of them were available in both 128kbps MP3 format, and better 256kbps AAC (M4A) format, the latter was preferred because higher fidelty (the alternative MP3 versions are in the "Other formats" folder of the archive). The tracks that were not in the old archive and I wasn't able to find in their original SoundCloud rip form anywhere else (or at least as different bitrate MP3s), were downloaded by me from Youtube where they still survive. To avoid further compression and sound degradation I downloaded them in their native Youtube formats using yt-dlp, which are VBR AAC (M4A) and Opus (Opus is supposedly better quality, but not widespread supported, the Opus version is in the "Other formats" folder): tracks ripped from SoundCloud are already compressed to MP3 for streaming, uploading them to youtube compresses them again when they get converted to M4A/Opus, if I were to download them to MP3 again, they would go through a third stage of compression, further degrading them. Avoid converting them again, lossy-to-lossy conversion is not good.
- Q – Can I share this archive elsewhere/modify and repack it/make a torrent of it/etc.? A – Please don't, directly share the archive.org link instead, I don't want this archive to proliferate into a million different sligthly modified (and wrong) versions all over the internet like it was for the old archive, if you find some error or want to integrate it in some way just contact me and I'll do it myself, don't do it and share it yourself please.

Je cherche un magasin de brassage où je peux acheter de l'orge pour le brassage maison !
(French below)
As in the title! I’m currently looking for a home brew shop in Paris or the Ile-de-France region to buy barley/wheat for home brewing. There used to be one in the 13th but I think it shut down last year! If anyone knows of a place, I’d absolutely appreciate to know! Thanks!
Comme indiqué dans le titre ! Je cherche actuellement un magasin de brassage maison à Paris ou dans la région Île-de-France pour acheter de l'orge/blé pour le brassage maison.

2024.06.01 17:57 BlondeAmbition123 I really wanted to like this show
Overall, I feel like this show ended up having the quality of Covert Affairs (a 2010s girlboss spy drama), but less fun. Real USA network writing. I think it wanted to be the quality of Slow Horses (my favorite spy drama right now)--but fell short. Spoilers below.
First--there were several things about this show I found promising. - I like the idea of a spy that's utilizing more feminine coded skills (empathizing, relating, authentic communication) as a tool. I liked that Imogen leaned on people's assumptions about her--the needing to call her mom to get the comms guy out of the way for instance.
- >! I think the perspective of why people become part of terrorist organizations, and are willing to die (and kill people) for a cause is interesting and not well explored in spy thriller. And I think looking at the ways women participate in these systems is interesting.!<
- I generally find Elizabeth Moss charming (except for the Scientology bs)
- Adiliah was, in my opinion, the most layered character. She had personal convictions and reservations about her choices. I think it would have been even better to show more of her background through flashbacks to get a sense of this.
- I really liked the friendship and comradery between Imogen and Adiliah. I found that very believable. They argued like sisters that desperately wanted the other to understand. It worked well.
My biggest issues: - There were so many things not fleshed out--more of Adiliah's background, Imogen's Dad's motives/what happened to her mom, why was Michael so rich (it felt like a plot device to just move things along when there wasn't money), what was up with Imogen's kid, how her Dad was able to just disappear to the countryside?? There was a lot of telling rather than showing.
- I think they should have treated Adiliah's story with as much time/energy as Imogen's. It would have been an interesting comparison of how two women came to work for organizations that they joined for complicated reasons. Also, I think if they're going to make a choice of having a sympathetic ISIS terrorist--they should show the circumstances that lead people to these groups.
- Really flat characters: The American and French spies were just caricatures of their cultures. It was funny at times, but repetitive. I think it would have been more effective if we had a sense of their motives beyond, "I want to be the one to win." Michael had bond villain ick, and it would have been more interesting if Imogen could have a character to play off of that had more complexity as a foil to Adiliah.
- Cringe-y dialogue and general choices: "What's my name?" and the Red Dress come to mind. Ugh. It felt overly dramatic, and like they were trying to hit you over the head with the themes and motifs. The really nice french apartment, the singing audition, and Adiliah being a model were more choices that felt like they were appealing more to aesthetics than authenticity.
- Finally--I hated Adiliah's death. It felt like she and Imogen never got that moment where she makes a choice about who she wants to be, and the fogged up windshield was clever--but that robbed us of a more satisfying character moment.

2024.06.01 17:23 TheGraug I (M20) feel like an hostage in my own home
Yeah so I don't really know where to start but... I'm really, really, really tired. I wanna scream, I wanna wreck something, but I don't even have the motivation to do so.
I just feel empty, and every day it's getting worse... And you may ask why? Well, lots of things, with the main factor being my parents, their ridiculous rules, and their lack, or outright refusal of understanding, especially when it concerns my AuDHD, or my hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS).
Now, small note, because it may matter, but I live in France, so some norms might be different from the US and whatnot.
Anyways, my parents... It's getting bad, like really, really, really fucking bad. I'm basically their thrall, and can do nothing except their whims, lest I get yelled at and rights get stripped from me.Some examples would include not being able to cook food I want because "it stinks".Like... No other reason, my mom just found that spicy Korean ramen stinks and now I can't cook that anymore, so yeah. I can't cook, like at all, and especially not at night cuz it apparently wakes them up. Even food that I bought with my own damn money. And while that doesn't sound bad, it gets worse :
- I can't talk freely, lest we get in an argument that they more often than not start, I try to disengage but they double down like every fucking time. And if I talk at night, even the tiniest of whispers wakes them up.
- I can't do most activities because it make too much noise, that includes exercising. I'm also not allowed to go to concerts, or hiking
- can't stay in pajamas around the house because it's disrespectful to them or whatever???
- Can't sleep late because I need a "normal human schedule" and not some "bullshit you read on the internet, cuz society don't give a flying fuck about that". 10 AM is already too late for them for context, yes that includes weekends. And don't even get me started when I go to sleep at like 2 AM, they will get mad.
- I am not allowed to touch alcohol at all, yes, in the country of wine, and champagne, and cognac, and so many more alcohols, they literally are not allowing me to touch alcohol, I'm fucking 20 and the legal drinking age here is 18.But my dad is absolutely allowed to have a beer every two days or so.
- I pay rent, like €250 a month, and that's from my disability check that the government gives me for hEDS, but I can't touch 2/3 of the food here cuz "it's your sister's" "it's mine" like bitch there's like 300 chips in there, 10 won't hurt you. Like I basically get no right from said rent, it's basically just a fuck you give me money.I'd be fine with it, but that money is going nowhere and I am still eating pasta every. Single. Night. Without. Fail.And no, there's nothing with it, it's literally just straight up whole grain pasta, no sauce, no nothing. My intestines don't like it, but I can't do nothing about it. And when I talked about meal planning they just dismissed it, called it stupid, and said it wouldn't change the pasta for diner.
- It's gonna be summer, so fuck you, you don't get to go on your PC, whether it's to game, or make 3d animation, or music, or whatever. If my job was remote it still woulda been fuck you. It's too hot to go on your PC.
- I also now have to pay for all the animals that are considered "mine", even the ones that aren't in my name legally, and that came outta nowhere, keep in mind, my disability check is very limited and they're already making me pay for everything, whether it's a 3k car I didn't really ask for, or my driver's license (cost around a grand and a half in France) or the lawyer for my wife which also came outta nowhere cuz they were supposed to pay for it (more on that later).I also have to care for ALL the animals in the house because otherwise they get neglected the fuck outta them, the 3 dogs (a small one, a Belgian Shepherd Malinois and my dog, a mix between a Samoyed and a Finnish Laphund) basically live in a 10m^2 room, if I don't give them food and water they don't get to eat and drink, the six cats have no cat towers and two liter boxes which are never cleaned, and the ferret is finally getting attention from them because he's 7 y.o. and on his death bed, so only now do they give food that's good for him, but before that the only one that was giving him attention was me. Oh and if one animal takes care of his needs somewhere, they'll call me to clean it up and will literally just let it sit there for hours until I clean it up. And like, I don't mind taking care of animals, in fact I love doing so, but the way they treat them and then blame me for it if they ever get sick is just...
- Dumb thing, but I'm not allowed to grow a beard cuz my mom find that disgusting????? Same for hair, they can't go over a certain length. And I'm not allowed to use depilatory cream cuz it stinks according to them.
- Oh yeah, if I don't eat at the same time as them they get mad, saying I act like I live in a hotel.
- If I try to explain literally anything and have a conversation with them, it turns sour real quick, and if I try to explain my feelings or my AuDHD, they will dismiss it or make it seem like autism doesn't do anything. They make me feel lesser for it: An example of that is today, literally 20 minutes after I woke up we had a huge argument because they started talking about dog breeds, and so I told them that as part of a dream of mine which is to become a falconeer (and make it my job), I would need some kind of hunting dog, and the one that interest me most is a Norwegian Elkhound... And I shit you not when I say they started an argument on the fact that it's not a good dog and that I don't need a dog for that, and then they went on a tangent saying that they don't see me be a falconeer because of how I take care of the animals we have in the house (I literally can't care for them properly, we don't have anything to do so) and that I should find a job in the meantime, to which I replied nobody really wants me because I'm physically and mentally disabled, and a school dropout because of said disabilities. To which they replied that I should just go into coding because I have untapped capacities with computers (I don't, and I don't like coding, it's been a turn off since a pretty bad event that happened in 2022) or that I should go in tourism cuz I'm good at language since I taught myself English... And so I tried to gently tell them that tourism is just impossible for me because as part of my AuDHD, I struggle a lot with social interactions, and having a job that's literally just social interactions sounds like a nightmare, and then all hells broke loose and they basically called me a lazy retard that's never happy cuz no job is perfect, when all I want is something where I can just take care of animals and be left alone for the majority of the time.
- Other dumb thing, but they literally yelled at me cuz my wife wore a skirt that was somewhat short and they were like "we can see her panties (no the fuck you can't) and since she has long legs and a big waist it makes it worse, it's shocking" Fist off her clothing style is none of your damn business, and second off it came to me as very weird how they talked about her body. Now my wife avoid all clothes that could be shocking for them, so to keep the peace, which is okay but it makes me really sad.
- Also they say she should get more sun and vitamin D cuz she's half-black... And like, that sounds like some racist medicine ideas if I ever heard them, they literally went on a tangent that it's the reason she's anemic.
- My first younger sister and her boyfriend basically have plot armor, they live here too, but no, they get to go on dates, they get to just do nothing for the day because "Oh but your sister's boyfriend works, and you should try to do like him" Bro he works retail, and he doesn't even have any want to do anything other than dead end jobs, literally he would be ecstatic working at BK, or McDonald's. And my sister literally is going to work at a factory, making socks all day, and that gives them the right to basically be prince and princess. Also they suck my mom's dick hard, so that might be another reason they got plot armor. They will also rat on me and my wife for the smallest thing, like my wife not saying hello at 4 am when she saw one of them go in the toilet while exiting said toilet, I shit you not my parents screamed at me over that, for 30 minutes straight.
All of this makes it so that I just avoid my parents like the plague, and I would leave, I really really would, but I can't. Why ? Because I need papers for my wife. She left the US for reasons, and can't go back there for said reasons. The problem is that her visa expired, so now we're gonna be in an uphill battle so that the government gives her residency. When she was in the process of moving here, my mom made the papers to host her and took a lawyer to help me, but now she just dumped all the rest of the paperwork on me, and I have to deal with the lawyer myself and pay for it, mind, I barely have the money for it and it's likely gonna cost another grand if not more. And it's like, I've never dealt with that before. And the weight of that is huge and it's basically been dropped on me. And... I can barely take it anymore, I feel like exploding, I feel like shit all the time, and yes, I had THOSE thoughts, wayyyyyy more than once. My wife is trying to support me best she can, but since she can't speak French (She's learning), she really only can support in the back, she can't go and protect me during an argument. I am going to move out ASAP, but ASAP means not before November-December if anyone is willing to rent to someone with no job. So yeah... I don't really know what else to say but I needed to get all of this out. I do still feel like ending it all, but I won't, too young, but damn the want is there.

2024.06.01 17:20 Substantial_Age1773 France VLS-TS Visa: What to Know
Hi all-
I recently got 3 Long-stay visitor visas to France approved for myself and family, and wanted to share some insights. I spent a lot of time over the past 6 months scouring the internet, books, and Reddit about the process and details in order to make sure my visa wasn't denied. I really hope this helps as a one-stop-shop for most of you. I've
bolded my key take-aways from each process step/requirement.
- To begin, the Visa Wizard on the French Visa website (https://france-visas.gouv.fen/) will show you which visa you will need and the associated required documents. You should get most of these documents in order before you even start or submit your application.
- Next, start your application, you can stop and save as a draft at any point. Note that the English translation is wonky in a lot of areas- I used a video from Baguette Bound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6vOTugdfZ4 to make sure I didn't enter anything incorrectly due to a loss in translation.
- You can submit for your visa up to 3 months in advance of your departure date. But I always wondered- what does that mean?? Will my visa start date be the date that my visa was approved? Answer: Your visa will start on the date that you outline in your visa application ("What day will you enter French territory?"). Save yourself any headache (i.e., longer than expected processing time, application rejection, etc) by applying ahead of time. The scenario I see over and over again are people trying to get their visa in a matter of weeks or days before their flight. The application process is not cheap, and neither are flight changes- so give yourself plenty of lead time: submit early!
- Some of the required document descriptions are vague- if not completely lacking. Below are the requirements for a long stay visitor visa, and my clarifications are noted. I got a folder and put these documents in the order shown below, separated by paper clips. The VFS Global rep will appreciate it :)
- Visa Appointment Confirmation
- Visa application, signed and dated
- Photocopy of driver's license, front and back
- Photocopy of passport booklet, signed, including every. single. page.
- Commitment to not carry out any professional activity in France, signed and dated.
- "I, NAME, hereby promise not to carry out any professional activity while living in France and utilizing a Long Stay Visa."
- Explanation as to why you are moving to France- signed and dated.
- Write a brief cover letter as to what your motivations and plans are for moving to France. Let them know your French proficiency level, your plans to integrate into society, and your general respect for the French culture, history, and otherwise. I've read people saying that this needs to be at least 3 pages long.... I only did half a page, if that. Just be concise.
- Financial proof
- I included the following: 401K, 3 months of bank statements for all accounts (beginning the month of your appointment date), stock/investment portfolio. Feel free to include more if you have it- such as your social security monthly statement, etc.
- Address of residence you will be staying at
- There is a lot of back and forth on the internet about whether or not Airbnbs are OK. Confirmed: Airbnb's are fine to provide, as long as it covers the first three months of your stay. You can locate a document named "PDF for Visa Purposes" on the Airbnb booking which you should print as proof.
- Health Insurance Certificate
- Not travel insurance. An international private health insurance policy valid from the time to enter until 1 year out. I went with CIGNA because it was the most familiar and I was too nervous to use cheaper alternative options. Make sure you provide documentation that supports what your plan entails.
- Before you submit your application- the website will ask you to first book an appointment with VFS Global. I thought this was weird but I did so and it was fine. At first (10PM at night), it showed that there were no appointments available and I freaked out. I tried over and over again but got the same results- and I had read about this happening to others. I had to wait until the next morning and then the website seemed to start working again. So if this happens, don't freak! Just be patient and try tomorrow.
- For the VFS Global appointment: The VFS folks are not there to approve/deny your package. They are just there to ensure your supporting documents are accounted for, do your biometrics, collect payment, and send your package off to the French Consulate in Washington D.C. If they HAPPEN to notice that something is wrong on your application, then they will point it out. But they're not there to comb out the finer details of your documents.
- If you noticed you got something wrong on your application/documents AFTER your appointment- your confirmed only recourse is:
- Email VFS global with an explanation and the documents (will only work if you notice QUICKLY after your appointment)
- Wait for the French Consulate to call you and request the new document
- Wait for your visa rejection and go through the appeal process
- I wasn't actually aware of what the visa that I was waiting for even looked like. Your visa is a sticker inside one of the pages on your passport. I picked up my passport and thought the visa had gotten rejected, until I later found it after a quick google search lol.
I hope this helps! Feel free to ask questions. Bonne chance!

2024.06.01 16:53 Effective_Hand_3438 Is English Really a Germanic Language?
Absolutely! English is a Germanic language! It is not some Romance language just because of the huge amount of French and Latin words we have taken. Language families and branches are about the genetics of a language, not the vocabulary. Trust me, I have been doing a Latin course on Duolingo and it is so different, I was making 10 mistakes just to get basic words like "puella", "puer", and "vir". The only word I could guess as an English speaker was "Femina", and as I got deeper into the course, I was able to guess city names like "Novum Eboracum" meaning New York with the etymology that too because I knew the etymology of the words "New" and "York", "York" from the Latin word "Eboracum"
The grammar of English and Latin is also different. In English, we put the auxiliary verb before the object but in Latin, it is correct to do this reverse as well. In English, if I have to write "I am Effective_Hand_3438", this is the only way to convey this exact meaning, but in Latin, we can do "Effective_Hand_3438 sum" meaning "Effective_Hand_3438 am", "Ego Effective_Hand_3438 sum" meaning "I Effective_Hand_3438 am". English adds the adjective before the noun the aforementioned adjective is describing, but in Latin and its descendants, the Romance languages, do the reverse like "Domi dormit" meaning "At home sleeps", "Domi" is the adjective here, so how did it reverse even if English did derive from Latin if every other Romance language has it? I know you will say in the comments, that I am talking about Modern English when I should be talking about Old English which might have these features. Oh! You just disproved your point! Don't you know how similar Old English was to modern-day German? The word for patient (adjective) was "geþyldig" similar to the German word "Geduldig", now you might be saying that English can be a creole of Old English, Norman French and Latin. Yes, and England was colonized by the Normans led by the famous William the Conqueror in creoles the common convention is that the vocabulary comes from the colonizer's language and the grammar comes from the native tongue, but if that were to happen, English would have lost all of its irregularities that it still has like "oxen" instead of "oxes", "children" instead of "childs", but that did not happen, but I agree that creolization isn't full or null, it could have been a partial creolization, but the jury is still out on that, but that's just a theory
