  • I want to venture into some of the french speaking parts of lemmy, but I'm scared and it's been waaaay too long lmao. And I definitely wish I could just "get" it like I get english (for the most part), but idk the hopes of that for a second language. Probably have to move to France lol

    Like even the way native speakers type and talk is nowhere near "proper" most of the time, but it's the language. And I wish I could do that in french, ya know? Hey, maybe Quebec will do!

    Aaand I upset the native french speaker even more now.

  • That makes sense. I always took it as ce is a more general "it" while il refers more to people or places, but I'm sure that doesn't always hold true. And apparently ce is only used as a subject with être for the most part. I'm too analytical to just understand without digging in lol

  • I took a few years of French forever ago. Never really understood when to use ce over il, along with all the hyphenated forms ce is pushed into.

    Personally, I always tried to translate back literally, so qu'est-ce que c'est -> what is it/this that it/this is. But I've also felt like this isn't the best approach given it's through the lens of an English speaker.

  • Oddly enough, I suddenly couldn't log into my old account today either. I used the word Lemmy in a chat, so I assume that's it. I literally never post and rarely comment. Right in line for that shitsack site. I don't know why I expected better from reddit than just straight up locking you out.

  • Been in the same situation, with closer to mid-level experience. A plethora of companies, constantly hiring for the same positions while rejecting hundreds of applicants, week after week. Makes total sense. I can only hope there's something illegal about it.

  • I'm wondering if the "counting" could be derived from a form of proprioception rather than maintaining an active count. Distance just gets scaled and thrown off by longer legs.
