@Randal'Thor it's getting cold somewhere, if you know what I mean.

Rand al'Thor

@TheLethalCarrot Don't be. That's what flags and nukes are for.

What I often do with questions about potentially controversial topics - both on this site and others where I'm not a mod - is to leave a PSA comment just to remind everyone to be nice.

TheLethalCarrot

@Randal'Thor Sure, my stance was just to try and minimise that at the source. It's always better to try and stop them before they happen than react to it as they do

Rand al'Thor

@Jenayah Over here we call them chips, not fries of any kind :-D

@SQB Fixed, if I understood you correctly.

TheLethalCarrot

@Randal'Thor Fries/French fries is starting to become popular... with chips meaning proper thick home cut ones and fries being skinny McDonalds style. That's the convention I've started seeing in resteraunts

Rand al'Thor

@TheLethalCarrot I.e. proper chips and US-style chips? :-P

SQB

12:15 PM

@Randal'Thor Meanwhile, "chips" is the word that many around the world use for crisps.

Rand al'Thor

<northern accent> Naw, luv, we make proper chips round here.

TheLethalCarrot

Basically

Napoleon Wilson

That also makes sense. Since then "chips" would at least remotely be somewhat chipped.

TheLethalCarrot

mmmhm, now I'm thinking of my grandmas homemade chips

SQB

@TheLethalCarrot how do Dutch and Belgian fries figure into that?

Not as thin as French fries, not as thick as chips.

TheLethalCarrot

12:17 PM

@SQB I would assume fries but I don't know

@TheLethalCarrot And this has been done with the latest edit by rewording the main question slightly.

SQB

@TheLethalCarrot which one?

TheLethalCarrot

Was about that SW Q

Napoleon Wilson

Fish 'n Chips chips are also significantly different from normal fries anyway. So that's a really neat distinction.

TheLethalCarrot

Well fish and chip chips are proper thick chips

SQB

@TheLethalCarrot national stereotypes?

TheLethalCarrot

12:19 PM

Aye

Rand al'Thor

@NapoleonWilson Depends what you call 'normal'. But I think you're talking about the same distinction as this.

Napoleon Wilson

@Randal'Thor Well yes, I was still elaborating on my opinion that the statement you link to makes for a sensible distinction.

@Randal'Thor Non-Fish'n'Chipsy, that is.

Rand al'Thor

@NapoleonWilson Ah, you didn't link-reply, so I wasn't quite sure what you were responding to.

Napoleon Wilson

I was just chiming in with a general discussion reply.

I hoped it was fast enough to be mentally linked to the last significant statement made by anyone. So I don't have to click the reply button. ;-)

Rand al'Thor

Are those nice thick chips actually a big thing in many countries other than Britain?

Seems like the US has done better at spreading its chips worldwide, via companies like McDonalds.

SQB

12:26 PM

They're often called "Grandmother's Fries" in The Netherlands.

TheLethalCarrot

@Randal'Thor Hopefully not, lets keep them to ourselves :P

SQB

Although that's usually a branding thing.

Napoleon Wilson

Well, they are here as part of an "authentic British Fish'n'Chips experience"™. Other than that I haven't seen them all too often other than special occasions maybe.

Rand al'Thor

10 mins ago, by TheLethalCarrot

mmmhm, now I'm thinking of my grandmas homemade chips

SQB

They're trying to sell the same things but with the peel on as "Grandfather's Fries".

Napoleon Wilson

12:28 PM

I guess they're rising in popularity. They might also have a certain hipster factor about them.

@SQB Oh, that's nice.

Rand al'Thor

@SQB Because ... grandfathers wear more clothes than grandmothers? That seems odd.

TheLethalCarrot

@SQB So more like wedges?

Napoleon Wilson

@Randal'Thor No, they're lazier, so they don't peel the potatoes.

TheLethalCarrot

And to be fair all my grandparents wore way too many layers so it was hard to tell who had the most on

Napoleon Wilson

The...chip isn't actually supposed to represent a grandmother, ya know. ;-)

SQB

12:30 PM

@Randal'Thor my guess would be the same as Napoleon's.

Rand al'Thor

@NapoleonWilson Ah. Heh :-)

Jenayah

@TheLethalCarrot those are the grandparents who you have to look for because of the heatwave but put a wool on at 7pm because "it's a bit chilly outside" ? :D

TheLethalCarrot

@Jenayah It's always a bit chilly out

It can be 30 degrees and chilly out, don't underestimate the wind :P

Jenayah

@TheLethalCarrot oh so you have cannibalist cows and no heatwave? Great.

TheLethalCarrot

My permanent sweat for the past 3 weeks (thank god for the overcast and rain at the moment) would tell you we may have had a heatwave

Jenayah

yup

but it's in French so it's more classy

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

Haha

Rand al'Thor

Watch out for merderous Frenchmen. They might try to kill you, or just shit on you.

Napoleon Wilson

O_O

Jenayah

12:36 PM

Weeellll...

Rand al'Thor

Sorry, I can never resist a bit of wordplay :-P

Jenayah

One of the most common insults here is "je t'emmerde"

Which kind of means "I cover you in shit", indeed

but it's in French so it's more classy

Napoleon Wilson

Of course.

SQB

Especially since it starts out sounding like "je t'aime".

Napoleon Wilson

Yeah, I thought it was a really odd wordcross. Like hate-love or something.

Jenayah

12:39 PM

Eh, not really, the "je t'aime" sounds like the "eh" sound in "eh" or "heavy", the "je t'emmerde" sounds more like the "han" in "prank"

Napoleon Wilson

"heavy" and "prank" sound exactly the same, though. ;-)

Rand al'Thor

@NapoleonWilson Only to Germans.

Jenayah

I'd like to YouTube videos of learning to pronounce French insults, because I'm sure there are some, but probably NSFW ahah

Napoleon Wilson

Well, prove it with IPA.

Jenayah

so do your research :D

@NapoleonWilson well I guess that depends on your accent ahah

Rand al'Thor

12:41 PM

My German friends IRL have caused a lot of confusion with the words "hat" and "head".

Napoleon Wilson

@Randal'Thor Well, those sound definitely different, though.

I'm not that stupid. ;-)

Jenayah

Eheh the joke here is that German sounds so aggressive, they use it to tame the lions and tigers in circuses

Napoleon Wilson

Looking at the IPA, though, I think I get what you're after.

I gather Hope Mikaelson is the name of Klaus's daughter then?

@NapoleonWilson It survived months without getting closed os though chat might give soem attention

Jenayah

I have a question which is a bit selfish.

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma Your duplicate comment is from a minute ago, though.

Jenayah

(but anyways)

Can you still accept an answer after the question is closed?

TheLethalCarrot

12:59 PM

@AnkitSharma Let it go through the queue, not everyone knows where all dupe targets are, it's most likely just been missed

@Jenayah Sure you can, the system lets you doesn't it? ;P

Napoleon Wilson

Are you saying there's a question on this site that should be closed as duplicate but isn't? That's...a change for once. ;-)

The art works is very detailed specially for th...

story-identification manga

is not sci-fi actually

nor fantasy

TheLethalCarrot

@NapoleonWilson And a welcome one haha

Jenayah

1:00 PM

it's kinda good but unrelated ahah

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson Yeah I just noticed and thought to bring attention

Jenayah

definitely not SFF though, for the 2-3 tomes I read

lephe

@Jenayah : Don't sweat the small stuff. :3

TheLethalCarrot

I took it to be fantasy (being generous from the description) and it's not accepted yet so could be still

Though I wouldn't mind if it was closed or left open

Jenayah

@TheLethalCarrot Well the question does lack SFF elements at least

Napoleon Wilson

1:02 PM

@Jenayah Migrate to Anime & Manga? (Yeah, no, I'm joking, please don't) ;-)

TheLethalCarrot

Sure, I am being generous here haha

Jenayah

and if it's indeed Bride's Story, it's not SFF

lephe

Well it's not fantasy indeed; I read 4/5 tomes at there's nothing related to fantasy in there.

TheLethalCarrot

@lephe Assuming you have the correct id

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson lol

lephe

1:02 PM

@TheLethalCarrot Right.

TheLethalCarrot

@Jenayah Like has been said we tend to be generous when closing and assume SFF-nal until proven otherwise

Jenayah

@TheLethalCarrot true, but I'll go as far as saying everything matches ahah

lephe

@NapoleonWilson AFAIK A&M reject identification questions?

Jenayah

@TheLethalCarrot well I mean that's what the "on hold" status is for right?

Napoleon Wilson

@lephe Indeed.

TheLethalCarrot

1:04 PM

@Jenayah Sure but it's better to be more lenient and leave a Q open than close straight away, but if it's not SFF-nal you can always VTC it

Napoleon Wilson

@Jenayah But what would you base the reopening on then, acceptance?

TheLethalCarrot

(depending on case by case of course)

Jenayah

@NapoleonWilson well if it's not Bride's Story and the OP remembers SFF stuff we can reopen

Napoleon Wilson

The question is if the question has those elements. The answer shouldn't really matter to make that decision.

Jenayah

If it's Bride's Story, we close no matter if OP accepts it or not

Napoleon Wilson

1:05 PM

@Jenayah Provided he puts those memories into the question.

TheLethalCarrot

@NapoleonWilson Well that's the whole basis of the site :P

Jenayah

@TheLethalCarrot it's not closed right away though innit? It's on hold for a week or something?

TheLethalCarrot

@Jenayah Well on hold indefinitely, there are rules around auto deleting downvoted Qs but those don't apply here

Napoleon Wilson

Hmmm, looking at the question that's really a stretch to interpret as fantasy indeed. (Other than horses and bows automatically meaning medieval fantasy, of course.)

TheLethalCarrot

Like I said I was being very generous and assuming best intentions etc etc

Rand al'Thor

1:08 PM

@NapoleonWilson Thanks for the parenthetical ;-) I have to delete a lot of comments proposing migration of ID questions to A&M.

Napoleon Wilson

But well, it's ID anyway. Not like anyone else wants 'em.

Oh, heh!

Rand al'Thor

@TheLethalCarrot I'm going to quote you on this ;-)

Napoleon Wilson

Wait, the Trade Federation have Thai accents in the original?

TheLethalCarrot

@Randal'Thor And I shall quote you back with "(depending on case by case of course)" :P

Napoleon Wilson

Heh, in the German version they're French.

(Not that any of those alternatives is a particularly great idea.)

Jenayah

1:13 PM

(not sure how I should take this :D )

Rand al'Thor

@NapoleonWilson Most SE sites are fine with ID questions, except a few which have had exceptionally bad experiences with them.

Napoleon Wilson

@Jenayah It's more against the employment of heavy stereotypical accents in the first place rather than the accent itself, or the language and culture behind that accent. ;-)

Rand al'Thor

We've had some interesting questions about accents.

Jenayah

Then again I'm not sure how you'd convey some ideas to the "broader audience" without those accents ahah

we've fallen this far :/

Rand al'Thor

It's always a relevant point when adapting a sci-fi or fantasy work to the screen (or anything with audio). Easy enough to describe someone as having an 'alien' accent, but if you expect an actor to portray that, they need to do something more specific.

Jenayah

1:17 PM

@Randal'Thor reminds me of how Schwarzenegger kept on with the thick Austrian accent for years because people just expected him to speak that way

Rand al'Thor

Although even in writing it's possible to be specific. I always think Taraboners in Wheel of Time seem like they have French accents.

Jenayah

though he's been able to speak English without accent for ages

Napoleon Wilson

@Randal'Thor That...math doesn't exactly work. But anyway.

Jenayah

@NapoleonWilson well ELL still has single-word-request, SFF has story-ID and so does Literature, apparently, I think just Movies and Anime & Manga ditched them

Napoleon Wilson

@Jenayah That...sounds like an urban legend, though. Or maybe not.

Jenayah

1:21 PM

@NapoleonWilson oh possibly, I didn't say it was my personal opinion :D

Upon re-reading I could've added some "supposedly" here and there aye

Rand al'Thor

@Jenayah Also Biology, Role-playing Games, Gardening & Landscaping, Home Improvement, etc. are all fine with ID questions.

But, as Napoleon says, anyway ;-)

TheLethalCarrot

Gaming has ID requests but they are quite restrictive

Napoleon Wilson

@Jenayah ELL gets thrown the single-word requests that ELU hates to the guts. Literature 1.0 was allegedly killed by them. A&M and M&TV struggled to get rid of them before that happened. So did Arqade. On Music Fans it already is too late. The problem here is having them doesn't equal encouraging them, as the various examples before their cleanup have shown.

And if you wanna go to a rather broad definition of ID beyond media. Sports.SE just got rid of autograph-ID, which apparently churned out awful questions on end.

Jenayah

@Randal'Thor ...what is there to ID in landscaping? Is that those "what is this type of bug/arrangment/fence called?"

Napoleon Wilson

If anything, there's a rather equal set of sites on either side at best.

Jenayah

1:24 PM

Autograph-ID?

Is that what I think it is?

Rand al'Thor

@Jenayah I'm not actually active on that site, but it's their biggest tag at least.

Napoleon Wilson

(Reworked into earlier comment for better structuring)

Jenayah

Oh okay so it's "what's dat plant"

@NapoleonWilson oh yeah, this tag questions are of.. varying... quality...

Must be even harder to look for a song/video clip than a SFF work

Napoleon Wilson

Yeah, you'd think. ;-)

Jenayah

@NapoleonWilson I'm not sure what your last sentence refers to, actually...

(newbie spotted ^)

Napoleon Wilson

1:30 PM

@Jenayah The fact that sites that got rid of those questions also had them in abundance before they did so. So just allowing or having those questions isn't a good measure for encouraging or liking them.

Jenayah

Ok then

Rand al'Thor

@NapoleonWilson Admittedly I'm not active on many of the sites which have them (G&L, DIY, Bio, etc.) But SFF and Lit don't have any major problems with them, and I believe RPG doesn't either.

@Jenayah this is a very long-running discussion between certain users :-)

Napoleon Wilson

Oh, I wasn't implying they do. Only that they're not exactly "most SE sites".

Jenayah

@Randal'Thor well yeah but you could also argue that they're broader and will attract other kind of questions

cf the big tags of SFF

not sure of Lit

poetry, apparently...

Napoleon Wilson

Poetry is nice.

Rand al'Thor

1:34 PM

@NapoleonWilson Well, A&M and M&TV aren't "most SE sites" either.

@NapoleonWilson That sounds like the first line of a haiku ;-)

Napoleon Wilson

@Randal'Thor Sure, but they're...also not the only ones on the list. But...we're getting into the very same selective math problems again. ;-)

@Randal'Thor Really? o_O

Rand al'Thor

@TheLethalCarrot Comment jinx!

TheLethalCarrot

@TheLethalCarrot So does mine :-P

TheLethalCarrot

1:37 PM

Ugh edited in haha

[scifi.se] in case you didn't know, quicker too

Jenayah

Rand's comment provides examples of what to add... :-)

TheLethalCarrot

Shhhh

Enough of that

Napoleon Wilson

Quick, but also pretty useless in a comment since it just takes you to the main site. Back when I still had to leave those comments, I usually linked to the tour.

Rand al'Thor

@Jenayah I think it mostly comes down to a natural difference in how much people are likely to remember about (for example) a book vs a film. It's possible to see a few snatched minutes of a film without really engaging with it, but rarer to do that with a book.

TheLethalCarrot

@NapoleonWilson Then just use [tour], easier link and gives context

Rand al'Thor

1:39 PM

@TheLethalCarrot I use the [site.se] abbreviations all the time, but can't see the point of using one in a welcome comment to a new user.

@TheLethalCarrot I think he knows that ;-)

Jenayah

@Randal'Thor Well it's also possible to watch an entire movie and having forgotten it the day after... :D

TheLethalCarrot

Meh, never hurts to repeat just in case

Napoleon Wilson

Helps to hammer it home. ;-)

Napoleon Wilson

There's a really neat French remake of it actually, from the early 2000s.

Rand al'Thor

@Jenayah Yeah ... not the French emperor ;-)

Jenayah

1:54 PM

@NapoleonWilson oh yeah, the French remake with French actors Ethan Hawke and Laurence Fishburne, produced by what-was-that-French-company... :D

Napoleon Wilson

@Jenayah Oh, that was okay, too. But I meant this one. I can really recommend that.

Jenayah

@NapoleonWilson oh, I thought you meant the one who kept the name ;)

Oh yeah, forgot that one had Sami Naceri in it.

Is he out of jail yet? ahah

Well, convicted again, who would've known

For whoever saw the movies, Samy Naceri's the guy playing Daniel in Taxi

The real ones, not the crappy New York thing remake.

Napoleon Wilson

Yeah, that's probably the only other thing I know him from. ;-)

Jenayah

^^

If I'm not mistaken he played in Démineurs too.

Napoleon Wilson

Wait, I think I recently saw something on TV with him. It was a rather new film with some soldiers rescuing Diane Kruger in Afghanistan or something.

SQB

1:59 PM

@Jenayah he's funny. Less so in real life, apparently.

Jenayah

My bad, I was thinking of Indigènes.

Days of Glory (2006 film)

Days of Glory (French: Indigènes - "Natives"; Arabic: بلديون‎) is a 2006 French film directed by Rachid Bouchareb. The cast includes Sami Bouajila, Jamel Debbouze, Samy Naceri, Roschdy Zem, Mélanie Laurent and Bernard Blancan. The film deals with the contribution of North African soldiers to the Free French Forces during the Second World War and, controversially, with the discrimination against them. The film's release contributed to a partial recognition of the pension rights of soldiers from former French possessions by the French government.Jamel Debbouze, Samy Naceri, Roschdy Zem, Sami Bouajila...

(note that the English Wikipedia page on this is more documented than the French one)

@SQB guy's a prick

really good actor, really funny, can't deny that, but a prick nonetheless

SQB

Is this the point where I mention that my brother is married to the sister of a French actress?

@SQB well, six degrees of separation and all

@Jenayah Oh, I liked the New York remake, though. Queen Latifah is always likable.

Oscar (1991 film)

Oscar is a 1991 American screwball comedy film directed by John Landis. Based on the Claude Magnier stage play, it is a remake of the 1967 French film of the same name, but the setting has been moved to Depression-era New York City and the plot centers on a mob boss trying to go straight. The film stars Sylvester Stallone, Marisa Tomei, Ornella Muti, Tim Curry and Chazz Palminteri, and was a rare attempt by Stallone at doing a comedy role. == Plot == In the prologue, gangster Angelo "Snaps" Provolone (Sylvester Stallone) promises his dying father (Kirk Douglas) that he will give up a life of crime...

Oscar (1967 film)

Oscar is a French comedy of errors directed by Édouard Molinaro and starring Louis de Funès. In the movie, Louis de Funès plays an industrialist named Bertrand Barnier who discovers over the course of a single day that his daughter is pregnant, he has been robbed by an employee, and various other calamities have befallen his household and his business. An English-language version of the movie was made in 1991, by John Landis, under the same name and starring Sylvester Stallone. == Plot == Christian Martin, a modest accountant in a large firm owned by Bertrand Barnier, surprises his boss by asking...

Napoleon Wilson

Well, you don't get an American to watch a French movie. What else are they supposed to do than remake it? ;-)

Nicole Kidman, Julianna Margulies and Aja Naomi King also star. Filming began in Philadelphia in January 2017. The film premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. == Plot == A comedic look at the relationship between a wealthy paraplegic and an unemployed man with a criminal record who's hired...

I don't see a Hollywood remake of Baise-moi in the near future, though.

Oh hey, I'm at exactly 4k rep! :o

SQB

Baise-moi

Baise-moi (Fuck me) is a 2000 French crime thriller film with elements of a rape and revenge film written and directed by Virginie Despentes and Coralie Trinh Thi and starring Karen Lancaume and Raffaëla Anderson. It is based on the novel by Despentes, first published in 1993. The film received intense media coverage because of its graphic mix of violence and explicit sex scenes. Consequently, it is sometimes considered an example of the "New French Extremity." As a French noun, un baiser means "a kiss," but as a verb, baiser means "to fuck," so Baise-moi means simply "Fuck me." In some markets...

Jenayah

@SQB don't feel obligated to pop that on my screen, will you :)

Though yeah, Hollywood would be a bit prude to remake that ahah

Jenayah

2:38 PM

@NapoleonWilson ahah and honestly, it's still... okayish with the character

Ever seen The Villain?

'cause in this one, oh my, not only he still has the accent, but the movie is stupid (funny, though), and he plays a dummy character in a dummy movie.
