That documentary made me feel a bit sick at the time, especially given how popular it was despite making a ton of unbacked claims and taking weird sides
And, just like that, 2025 is already up for a very good start
Ce soir on fait la fête
As a bonus, Gerber means "to vomit" in French
It happens every year. Basically, ever since media started publishing statistics on which city had the most burnt cars on new years eve, some people made it a challenge of which city will "win"
Gonna reuse that one, great find!
Wait, starfish position? Am I doing sex wrong?
Yeah, not to be pessimistic but I'm a bit scared that they'll just turn her into a gender-swapped Geralt. Ciri has her own things going on that make her special and an interesting character, she doesn't need Witcher mutations

Meh, this is largely a debate over semantics since the mere notion of a "French people" wouldn't have made sense at the time. "Frenchness" isn't an ethnicity, it's a mix of many different peoples that mixed and intertwined over the years (celts, romans, germanic tribes, immigrants from all over Europe...) and that eventually were all brought together as subjects of the french kingdom.
Normans weren't "french" in the modern sense of the word, but then again very few people in what would later become modern France would have at that time : they all would have considered themselves "Provençal", or "Breton", or "Lorrain" who just happened to live in a Duchy that swore fealty to the king of France.
All things considered, William the Conqueror was a lord of the french kingdom, swore fealty to the king of France and spoke French, so he was no less (but no more, granted) French than any other of his peers. Whether you want to call him french is up to you but is largely an anachronism
And decision-makers at that company feeling good about themselves at no cost whatsoever for the company or themselves.
I didn't know I needed this in my life but this strikes a chord in me
