the fr*nch

Not nearly as embarrassing as flaunting dark age storybooks about a fictional deity and thinking you "owned" atheists with it.

Yeah I knew what you meant, I just thought it was amusing.

It kind of makes sense tbh, "the" descriptors for nationalities aren't super offensive or anything but they do come across as slightly disrespectul and there are better ways of phrasing it, same for "the poor".

Here's my universal translator. Unfortunately it can only translate into an obscure dead language.

Hello?

Bonjour!

Crazy gibberish!

Yep, thanks for clarifying my comment! I just meant that "the French" part was referring to nationalities. But, yes, the sentiment was to avoid using "The [x]" and instead write something like "[x] people."

I have a smart washer and dryer set. Tried and gave up on trying to connect to it with the app. The instructions were confusing to say the least. They even seemed to switch back from referencing wifi and Bluetooth as if they're the same thing. I would like to set the "custom" knob setting so I'm not pushing buttons 5 times to set it to "normal" wash but with a slower spin and warm instead of hot water, but I don't want to spend another hour having an app tell me it's failing to connect.

Also, my Bluetooth toothbrush seems gimmicky. Got it on sale but do I really need those metrics?

It really depends on what you’re doing. Tofu scramble can be made to taste and have the mouth feel very close to scrambled eggs. Justegg is a product that is perfectly fine for crepes. A big ass omelette though? Yeah, I don’t think I want a justegg omelette.

Remember, you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil.

If you need a binding ingredient nothing beats oats.

It's not just nationalities, it's other descriptors like that as well. In their post (which as far as I know was just a post of an excerpt from their guide, not a change), they also explicitly called out, ironically given your last sentence, 'the poor'.

Fake eggs lol

This is being taken way out of context. (However, even in context, it's still a little dumb.) They aren't saying don't say "The French" in general, they were using that as an example of how you shouldn't write any nationality. The French, The Dutch, The Japanese, etc. Instead, you should write French people, Dutch people, and Japanese people, etc.

Obviously they weren't going up to bat to defend the poor, downtrodden French people. Just using it as an example.

Oh god not the soy egg again

Remember when Turkey was supposed to be a secular state?

Did you maybe stop to think that Islamic terrorists are rogues in a similar capacity?

They bomb abortion clinics and commit mass shootings all the time. But somehow we're able to separate the people from the religion when it comes to Christianity.

The AP Stylebook

Have you met an evangelical Christian lately? Fundamentalists suck regardless of religion.

Do they prefer something less offensive?

Easy fix. Instead of using The French substitute "cheese-eating surrender monkeys."

Bezos, is that you?

Swede here. We have pretty much grown tired of Erdogan and Turkey. If NATO happens, it happens.

We are not gonna sell out our democracy to a dictator wannabe. Get real or get lost.

Erdogan bought oil from ISIS while bombing Kurds. Enough said about his "religious morale".

Besides, we have a number of military alliances as it is already. Make a move on Finland and see what happens.

This is clearly wrong, because in electronic music, "The French" are on another level of quality.
