@Vinz pizza sure, but burgers? There's a possibility that the presence of a fork and knife indicates that the place is a proper restaurant, in which case certain expectations exist that do not exist in fast-food places - which are not considered "restaurants". For example, drinking from a bottle in a restaurant is bad manners but Americans do it all the time. I find that eating a burger with knife and fork is a matter of convenience. I tend to do this in restaurants that provide silverware because their burgers are usually too large. I suppose Americans try harder to eat them with their bare hands, but it seems like more effort for them. I'm not sure about real restaurants that serve burgers in France because I haven't had much experience with those (I'm French but live in California). Also note that traditional French table manners forbid eating anything with hands except for bread, meat with bones, and certain raw or dry things that are more like appetizers or desserts. Burgers are widely understood to be a foreign thing that is super weird to serve on a plate like all sandwiches, so French people would generally not know what to do with it and improvise. Fast-food chain burgers are always eaten with hands with no hesitation.

@freemo I can assure from my 25 years of living in Paris that hearing a french dude yell "Bouge ta caisse de merde, connard" to the car in front of him is far from being sexy.

When eulogizing evil, take no fucking prisoners.

@georgetakei how do you stop hate or rather, how do you prevent hate from developing in children? (and especially other people's children?)

Un peu en retard mais encore dans les clous, aujourd’hui nous fêtons les 85 ans de la découverte du LSD par le chimiste Suisse Albert Hofmann !
Le 16 novembre 1938, Hofmann, qui étudiait l’ergot de seigle pour en tirer des principes actifs intéressants pour leurs propriétés thérapeutiques, synthétise le 25e dérivé de cet ergot (d’où le nom LSD-25). Mais cette nouvelle substance, testée comme stimulant cardiaque, est moins puissante que d’autres molécules déjà sur le marché.

This piece on US folks immigrating to #CDMX is a little too relatable. How do we let people move around and cities evolve without wealth and nationality and other privileges trampling existing communities.

Wildlife crossing built over the Trans-Canada Highway in Banff National Park.

Combined with fencing to keep the animals off the road, these structures have reduced animal-vehicle collisions in the area by more than 80%—and by more than 96% for elk and deer alone.
