If I had to make an award for elons lamest actions of the month I’d probably call it the certified banger
The entire article is 4 sentences, and you stopped reading in the middle of sentence 3? Were there other clues as to a maga bias about a Canadian outbreak of measles?
Interesting what languages go with, as Japanese keeps the save part but drops the protect in favor of hurry/emergency, so it’s the “hurry up and save you car” 救急車
Even ambulance itself comes from the French phrase walking hospital, and then the hospital part got dropped. We still retain the word ambulant to mean moving in English
Even more than the compound words I really like the kanji that have basically pure pictograph meanings, like mountain pass being “mountain up down” 峠.
Side note my favorite mnemonic is for the word (hospital) patient, where a person (者) ate too much meat on a stick, and now the problem is in their heart 串 + 心 --> 患者
Can you quote me something? I’m a lit major and admit I’d never heard the phrase.
I mean, correct in French, but OP was prob searching in English. The closest thing to en force in English is enforce or in force, unless we’re going for a similar meaning of the French phrase en masse that’s actually been adopted into English.
Don’t get me wrong, fuck ai and all that, but this isn’t a great example of a hallucination.
Valerian had a lot of interesting stuff going on visually but they did the classic thing of trying to cram the extensive story of the book (from what I saw about it, i haven’t read it) into a movie run time, so it ended up being a bit of a shallow jumbled mess.
Are you maybe thinking of “en masse” instead? I’ve seen “in force” in English but I can’t find the phrase “en force” in any English dictionary, and the wiktionary page only lists it under French.
Is it a common English phrase? I can’t find it in any English dictionary, and the wiktionary page has no listing for it under English, only in French. On the other hand the phrase “en masse” with a similar meaning shows up in dictionaries and the wiktionary page lists it under English.
Unless it’s quite a recent borrowing I’m thinking OP got the two mixed up, or is maybe from an area with enough French speakers that it seems common.
You can also turn off ai on the regular ddg page

You’re right about the spelling and meaning of lining up along a line, but none of the proposed origins of the term have it coming from slavery. Wikipedia mentions it could be from British armed services, public school roll calls, or a couple other possibilities

A friend of mine has that as well, and I didn’t even know it was possible. I also wasn’t aware that some people are extremely allergic to mosquito bites, so while I get like a little itchy pinhead welt, I’ve seen people who get ones the size of a quarter. The grass allergy friend has it so bad that if the bite is on a wrist it’s becomes hard to bend it from the swelling.
In my youth I went to a bbq camping event and rather than deal with a tent I chucked a futon and blanket on some grass and just went to sleep. I woke up with most of my blood still so turns out the mosquitoes didn’t get me much.
Yeah same–I think once I saw it was a dildo my first thought wouldn’t be packer because I didn’t know about them, but that it was a kink thing like how some people might walk around with a plug in one day. So in that case I wouldn’t wanna touch it with my shoe.
I like to believe that dude was in a rush bc he needed a deuce, so the conclusion to the story was him retrieving his dick and saying back “thanks bro *fffftpthpppppppaaaaabrapppthphff” and the other guy frantically wiping before the stank clouds wafted over
It’s def aggro driving but usually not stupid or insane. I never saw someone wildly cut across 3 highway lanes to make an exit til I moved to the midwest
