When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.
Why Do Historians Still Have To Go To Archives?
Why do historians go to archives? Hasn’t everything already been digitized?

i think sex scenes can absolutely be meaningful and be a great method for characterization but also I think it is enough to just want the characters to fuck nasty.

so i have an idea for a machine that dispenses jackals in like an elevator, and im calling it the jackal-ator
prototype will be mechanically powered, like a crank, but eventually it will have an electric engine that will just shoot out jackals everywhere. im calling that version...the e-jackal-ator

Plenty of low-effort French puns have been made based on the fact that “faire le guet” (to be on the lookout) and “faire le gay” (to act gay) are pronounced exactly the same.

question for native french speakers: how did you figure out that you had to insert the silent letters when the next word began with a vowel sound? (e.g. "je suis_heureux", "c'est_une baguette") were you taught the spelling and the concept of silent letters at the same time or did you muddle along?
