what do you mean you can’t speak 5 different languages? get with the times, old man

Sometimes I switch game audio to French for listening practice, but it helps to read what I’m hearing. I did some internet searching and here’s what the Overwatch heroes say en français:

Ange (Mercy) – Les héros ne meurent jamais

Bastion – (Bip bip)

Chacal (Junkrat) – Une journée idéale pour foutre le boxon !

Chopper (Roadhog) – Le motard de l'apocalypse, c'est moi

D. Va – Je joue pour gagner

Fatale (Widowmaker) – Un tir, un mort

Faucheur (Reaper) – La mort est parmi vous

Genji – Même si je sacrifie mon corps, je ne sacrifierai jamais mon honneur

Hanzo – Chaque mort est source d’honneur. L’honneur est source de rédemption

Lúcio – Allez, tous ensemble !

McCree – La justice ne va pas se rendre toute seule. L'hypertrain sifflera trois fois

Mei – Notre monde vaut la peine qu’on se batte pour lui

Pharah – Je protégerai les innocents

Reinhardt – Justice sera rendue

Soldat : 76 – Nous sommes tous des soldats désormais

Symmetra – Le véritable ennemi de l'humanité, c'est le désordre

Torbjorn – Monter, démonter, c'est toujours travailler

Tracer – Hello, mon chou ! La cavalerie est arrivée !

Winston – L'imagination est le fondement de toutes les découvertes

Zarya – C'est l'union qui fait la force

Zenyatta – La vacuité est forme et la forme est vacuité

I work (and walk) on a college campus. I’ve lost count of how many men I’ve smacked shoulders with.

Recently, I was standing outside my son’s classroom waiting to talk to his teacher. I stood on one side of the hallway, not even close to the center. At some point, a man came walking along. I was standing right in his path, but the hallway was empty, so I logically expected him to swerve around me. Instead he kept walking right toward me, got to me, and stopped, as if waiting for me to get out of his way. I didn’t; I just smiled politely at him. He finally walked around me, clearly annoyed that I hadn’t leapt out of his manly path.

Now I’m wishing I’d leapt aside, taken off my jacket and laid it on the floor before him, then bowed deeply and said, “My Liege!”

I also work at a college campus. I smack shoulders sometimes, but I find that if I stare straight ahead and follow the advice below, people get the heck out of the way.

Honestly this post changed how I carry myself when walking alone in public, or in a situation where I’m the one leading. People definitely move for the murder gaze.

Confirmed. I once had to rush back inside a convention hall as the con was closing in order to a retrieve a sick friend’s medication, and I didn’t understand why people in the crowd were jumping out of my way (literally—one guy vaulted a table) until I realized I was dressed as the Winter Soldier and doing the Murder Walk because that’s just how I walk in those boots. I got the meds, got out, and made a mental note.

I repeated the experiment later, wearing the boots but otherwise my usual clothing and mimicking the expression I thought I’d had at that moment. People parted like I was Charlton Heston.

I now wear that style of boots whenever possible. I recently had a man do a double-take as I walked by and ask me, politely, where I had served because I “looked like a soldier.” I’m not current or former military. I was wearing a flowy purple peasant top and looked as un-soldierlike as possible.

Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

The most violent death in the movie was the death of the Bechdel Test, which they dragged behind the car the entire time.

[pre-gifs] “…So, she [Paris Hilton] was a very wealthy woman, [initially] not that well known and then she gets to mega-stardom. How? The sex tape. Which was made by her boyfriend at the time, who was married, and thirteen years her senior. She sued to try and stop it [the tape’s circulation] and she couldn’t and it became the best selling sex tape for two years on the porn market.”

I think everyone should watch this video. It’s so real and the heart wrenching truth…

Kickstarter: Bring Yak Cheese To California

Ever had Yak cheese? Me neither! But there’s a Kickstarter underway that aims to bring yaks and their milk to California:

California Yak

My brother and I snuck into Tibet. We lived among monks. Sometimes we slept out in the high plateau. At night, the sky was so clear it was like floating in the stars.

We learned about yak husbandry, and the importance of yaks in Tibetan culture. We found our dream. To create a yak dairy in Northern California.

There is nothing else like the taste of yak cheese. Its flavor is strong and clean. The protein content is much higher than cow or goat cheese.

Cheese-making has been our hobby, but it’s time it became our business. The money from this project can buy three yaks, large scale cheese making equipment, and a partnership with a local dairy farm. The type of cheese we will create is called chhurpi. This is a traditional Tibetan lightly smoked cheese. Its taste is truly distinct, but is closest in flavor to a comté or gruyère.

The demand for local specialty cheeses in California is high. This project has the potential to create jobs, and improve the environment through locally grown food. But most importantly to my brother and me, this is an art form. We hope to create something beautiful and delicious, and to share it with others.

check out the Kickstarter for more information and to give them your support!

During my most recent rewatch of The X-Files I noticed multiple hints at Scully’s possible immortality. I’m not sure if this was just an inside joke or meant to be part of the larger narrative, but it’s interesting to think about nonetheless.
