It's alright even if you change an entire sentence!!
What does "Unless what they're showing off is dope as fuck." mean?
Yay "The Suicide Squad"! I love that movie!
It means "If the things they do are cool enough, (nobody will complain)"
Idris Elba is telling John Cena to stop showing off (doing impressive but ultimately meaningless things), because nobody like that.
John Cena disagrees, saying people like it when the things are really impressive.
Idris Elba then reluctantly agrees.
You have a terribly good memory! I love that movie too !! Thank you so much anyway!

A: What's your favorite manga?
B: Fullmetal Alchemist
A: I like it, too! But I read it when I was in about Jr high school, so I wonder if I remember it correctly. Who's your favorite character?
B: Hmmm, Greed, I guess.
A: Oh, shit. What kind of guy was he? LOL.
B: No way!
A: Hold on, give me 10 seconds.
B: Okay.
A: Ahh, okay, okay. The one that turns black, right?
B: Yeah, yeah, lol.
A: The one who got beaten up by King Bradley, right?
B: Yeah, yeah, lol.
A: I loved that scene. Why's that character your favorite?
B: Well, his way of life.
A: Oh, i see, I kinda feel you.
Btw, what was that why did he fuse into that Asian-looking guy?

A: Do you know "Kingdom"?
B: No.
A: This!
B: I've never seen or heard of that.
A: Yeah, it's extremely popular in Japan, but it's rare to find someone from overseas who has read of it. Try reading it when you have the time!
You may not like the pictures at first, but after reading about 10 volumes, you just get hooked ... maybe.
But I wouldn't recommend the anime seriously. I think season 3 is still better, but 1 and 2 are pretty bad. The movements are kind of weird and its character design aren't cool. I think they ruined the original.
B: Haha really. What's it about, btw?
A: It's a story set in the Spring and Autumn period in China when China was divided into seven countries, about first Qin Emperor and the main character and the others unified China through war.
B: Sounds interesting!
A: Very interesting! It's a historical work, so to a certain extent, you can know what's going to happen, if you look it up. Without looking it up, you know that the First Emperor will unify China, and the author has already draw the main character becoming a general at the beginning of the manga. But even when you read the manga knowing what happened, it still sustains interest. There are many deeply moving and heartfelt moments. I don't know why it's only popular in Japan. I can understand if they think it's not for them after reading it, but I can't understand people who think they're not interested in it before reading it. Deciding on impressions is, y'know, like, discrimination.
B: I see, haha.
A: It's like assuming someone isn't interesting without even talking to them. I think you should try to read the manga at least once. I guess that's how the seeds of discrimination grow. You should see and hear everything yourself and form your own opinion after checking something out. This is important. Reading this manga is the first step toward eliminating discrimination. So you sould read it! haha

Thoughts about Kingdom Episode 714.
Why hasn't Banaji gone blind from the wound to his right eye? It's such a big scar.
It's always exciting when strong guys get together.
Mouten looks a bit foolish, right? It's normal to expect enemies to gather.
Riboku's words are always so profound.
That's why he's so respected.
When Riboku goes out of his way to call Kanki the 6th Shogun, it must be like, "If you can do it, do it!

A: Have you ever seen Crayon Shin-chan is?
B: Nope. What's like?
A: I guess it's like a Japanese version of The Simpsons. It's an anime about a crazy family! It's mostly just jokes and sometimes there are some episodes that move me. I recommend it!! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
B: I used to like The Simpsons, so I might like it!
A: Oh really! But I've probably heard somewhere that a lot of foreigners don't like the main character.
B: Really?
A: Yeah, I guess they think it's a children's anime, but a lot of Japanese adults like it too! The movies "Sengoku" and "Otona Teikoku" are the best ones.
B : I think I've heard of "Otona Teikoku.
A : Oh, really!
B: I've never seen it, though.
A: Please watch it when you have time! I've never heard of anyone in Japan who doesn't like this film. Not sure what people from overseas will think, but you should!
B: Ok! I'll check it out!
A: Also, if you haven't seen the anime, some things might need a little explanation, so it might be a good idea to become familiar with the family structure and characters beforehand.
I'd say it's an anime about this family. There are four people and a dog. Shinnosuke is the oldest. He's this really selfish five-year-old who annoys everyone around him.
B: I see. Thanks! I'll check it out!
A: Yeah, lemme know what you think!

I like your vibe! I love it!
Okay. This is going to take a while, so it's my homework. Let's move on.
There is an Okinawan specialty called sataa andagi. I don't really like it, but the other day when I was very hungry, I was given one and I ate it, I thought it tasted so good. Hunger is seriously the best condiment of all!
Are there any foods you don't like?

B: Excuse me? Do you know where Hara Community Centre is?
A: Yeah.
B: Can you tell me how to get to there?
A: Sure! Well, you need to turn right there, and then turn right again at the end. And turn left at the next corner. Then go straight there. From here, my memory is a little fuzzy, but I guess... take the first or second turn to the left. If it's dead-ends at houses, that's not the corner, so look for another corner, and if you see a corner where the road keeps going, turn left there, I guess the second corner. And then keep going straight until you see a house on the left surrounded by trees. That's the community center. Sorry, that was complicated to explain. Let me say it one more time.
B: Thank you. Let me write it down.
A: Okay. First, turn right there. Second, turn right at the end. Third, turn left at the next corner. Fourth, if you see a straight path around there, go straight there. Last, turn left and go straight on the road that seems to continue, then a house on the left surrounded by trees is the one. Are you going to be OK? Let me see.
B: Yeah, please check.
A: Yes, looks ok, if I'm not mistaken in my explanation. haha
B: I hope so. haha
A: If it doesn't seem to work, ask someone else again. Good luck.
B: Okay. That's a big help. Thank you so much! Have a nice day!

Ich arbeite in der IT-Branche. Ich arbeite teils im Büro teils Zuhause. Ich muss das Telefon beantworten und den Menschen mit ihren Fragen helfen. Ich aktualisiere auch Software. Offensichtlich braucht man Computerkenntnisse. Es kann manchmal ein bisschen langweilig sein, aber wenn wir ein großes Problem haben, ist es sehr hektisch.

Quel livre est-ce que vous lisez maintenant ?
Je lis « Quit: the power of knowing when to walk away ». Dans le livre, elle décrit comment la tâche difficile de démissionner d'un projet, travail, une programme etc. Pourquoi ? Parce que notre société croit que quand on démissionner un projet, on est en défaillance. Le mot démissionner n’est pas bon. Par exemple, elle donne un exemple des escaladeurs de Montagne Everest. Les personnes qui escaladent la montagne même s’ils peuvent mourir nous préférons entendre leurs histoires incroyables. Nous n’entendons pas l’histoire de la personne qui arrête de monter sur la montagne.
Toutefois, elle donne un bon exemple de démissionner d’un entrepreneur qui commence une start-up. Après des succès immédiatement, dans le premier année, des compétiteurs entre l’industrie pour logiciel de gestion de projet. Il réagit qu’il ne pourrait pas concourir et il décide de vendre l’entreprise. Après, il prend les leçons de son premier enterprise et il travaille avec son ancien collègue et il crée une autre start-up qui a plus de succès. Quelquefois, il peut être bon de démissionner parce qu’on peut avoir des opportunités différentes. En plus, il vous prévient d’être sur un navire en détresse.
Une raison pour laquelle il est difficile de démissionner. Les coûts irrécupérables sont les coûts qui ont déjà été payés. Par exemple, les temps, les monnaies, etc. Plus précisément, l’auteur donne un exemple d’un projet dans la Californie. L’état de Californie voulait bâtir une grande vitesse de Los Angeles à San Francisco. Mais, il y a beaucoup de problèmes dans la logistique de bâtir le train autour de montagne et les coûts. Cependant, le politicien a déjà dépensé de l’argent pour l’étude, annoncé le projet, et commencé avec les premières étapes sur le projet. Bien que ce n’est pas réalisable, il sens qu’il doit continuer.
Personnellement, je trouve que c’est difficile de démissionner d'un projet. Généralement si je n’ai pas l’énergie or le temps, ou mes intérêts ont changé. Mais, quand je décide de démissionner, je trouve une opportunité que c’est mieux. Donc, ce livre m’a fait réaliser qu’il est nécessaire de démissionner, en effet, c’est sage dans la plupart des cas.

Les téléphones portables peuvent provoquer le cancer?
Ces articles décrivent les potentielles radiations carcinogènes avec des téléphones portables. L’inquiétude vient de certaines études qui a démontré un possible lien du développement des tumeurs cancéreuses quand on les utilise intensivement. Les études ont été conduit par différentes universités, notamment, l’université de Bordeaux, qui a investigué l’utilise des téléphones des personnes affligées de tumeurs cancéreuses.
A mon avis, je ne crois pas que les téléphones portables puissent apporter des doses de radiation assez fortes qu’elles instiguent quelqu’un à développer le cancer. Un x-ray, en moyenne, produit 1 micro-SV de radiation. Beaucoup de personnes qui ont des conditions médicales incurables doivent faire plusieurs x-rays durant l’année, parfois plus que deux ou trois fois par semaine. Toutefois, elles ne développent le cancer, quand même, elles ont été exposées aux radiations milliers ou millions fois plus que les personnes qui utilisent les téléphones portables intensivement. Au cas où des chercheurs ont trouvé un lien entre l’utilise des téléphones et le cancer, c’est raisonnable à assumer que l'échantillon a été biaisé parce que les personnes étudiées ont déjà accablé avec le cancer. En bref, c’est impossible que les téléphones portables contribuent au cancer parce qu’il n’y aurait pas eu suffisantes doses cancéreuses nécessaires.

Hier, vous avez célèbre la fête la plus importante de vous
Hier, je célébrais la fête la plus importante en la Chine : la nouvelle année lunaire. Elle est une fête très importante pour nous parce que nous nous réunissons chaque année durant la fête, qui perpétue durant une semaine.
La plus importante journée de cette fête a été la nuit avant les célébrations. Nous avons mangé des différentes nourritures qui signifient des diverses chances. Par exemple, le poisson représente de surplus et en le mangeant, notre vie cette année aurait être pleine d’excès, soit l’argent soit la carrière. D’ailleurs, les nouilles symbolisent la longévité, les pommes la félicité et le « tangyuan », qui sont les boules de riz, signifient l’unité de la famille.
Surtout, le plus important aspect de cette fête est que la famille peut se réunir et profiter de passer ensembles des temps. Bien qu’on ne la célèbre par la même façon avec laquelle nos ancêtres célébraient, néanmoins, on a retenu le sens inhérent.

Vous envoyez un courriel a votre médecin pour annuler
Chère Docteur Chantelle,
J’ai pris un rendez-vous avec vous, mais je devrais l’annuler parce que j’ai trouvé un médecin qui a des disponibilités plus proches.
J’avais une blessure dans mon épaule gauche à partir d’un accident où une voiture a entré une collision avec la mienne.
Depuis l’accident, je ne peux ni manger ni dormir. Tous les jours, j’étais constamment dans un état de douleur. Ma marie m’a demandé si je voulais prendre un rendez-vous avec un médecin, et j’ai accepté. Alors que nous avons pu sécuriser un appointement avec votre clinique, le date de l’appointement a été trop loin ; j’aurais dû attendre plus que six mois pour l’appointement ! Par conséquent, je dois annuler cet appointement.
Amicalement,
André

Expresarme
A veces lo que me impide expresarme es la impresión de repetir algo extraño. Me gustaría que mis ideas salgan como si pudiera exprimir el jugo de mi cerebro. Pero me parece más como a una publicidad: las palabras vacías marchan como siempre lo han hecho.
Tratar de escribir en español me ha hecho percatar que lo que puedo decir en francés no es ni original ni preciso. ¡Ay! Todo lo que hay en mi cabeza es una gran sopa. Me gusta la sopa, pero no en cada comida.

Vida cotidiana 27
A mis amigos que viven en España, solía enviar muchos mensajes de voz en español a lo largo de la semana. Más que nada, solía enviar esos mensajes mientras conducía desde mi trabajo o el gimnasio a mi apartamento. El viaje me tomó alrededor de 10 minutos, y normalmente escuchaba sus mensajes en inglés, pensaba un poco, y le enviaba un mensaje de respuesta. Por alguna razón, las calles de Minneapolis estaban mucho menos transitadas que las calles de aquí. También la velocidad máxima era menor, así que me sentía cómodo enviar mensajes mientras conducía. Aquí las calles funcionan prácticamente como un autopista interestatal, con una alta velocidad máxima, y hay muchas policías por todos lados. Por eso, no quiero arriesgarme y hasta ahora no les estoy enviando mensajes mientras conduzco.

W szkołach
W jednej klasie nie mogą być więcej niż 40 studentów w szkołach mojego miasta. Takie prawo pozwala nauczycielom lepiej skupiać uwagę na każdego studenta. Ale czy wielkość klasy ma znaczenie? Moim zdaniem, to, co brakuje studentowi, nie jest uwaga, a raczej nauczyciele, którzy umieją nauczać.
W moim mieście nauczyciele często są z niskiej jakość, bo to, co trzeba, aby nauczać w szkołach publicznych, jest dyplom z wykształcenia, czyli że ankieter nie oceni prawdziwe zdolności osoby, a obecność dyplomu. Sytuacja jest tak z powodu braka nauczycieli, co znaczy, że póki osoba ma dyplom, ją przyjmą; zarazem, panuje brak finansowania w zakresie wykształcenia.
