It's not always the case that you have the same accent in a different language. That guy is extreme to the point of caricature. I've been told I sound argentinian when I speak spanish yet I'm a new englander who learned spanish in colombia.

Doesn't the bible say to obey the emperor and follow the law? So reporting abuse to the authorities shouldn't be a sin since there's a law compelling priests to violate the confessional for specific issues.

1 Peter 2:13-17

Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.

Romans 3:31

Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

They teach you french during basic training so that wouldn’t be an issue. You can see this at the FFL faq page where the first q and a is about french fluency.

Are you sure those guys in the documentary were already past selection? You have to be selected (10/100) and then you also have to pass basic training which is difficult.

I’m a veteran who looked into joining the FFL. They’re basically all special forces (even the admin) so if you aren’t ready for that level of training you’re going to fail recruitment and won’t be able to join them.

Also of 100 recruits that apply only 10-15 are selected.

Bertrand Russell would love this.

Just so everyone is aware, the French Foreign Legion is an elite group of soldiers. If you aren’t extremely physically fit or ready for 5 years of military suck then this isn’t the option for you.

My money would be with Apocalypse in the Marvel comics. He's got tons of comics about him and his augmenting ability.

Oh god, I'm not sure I'd be able to keep a straight face if someone pronounced that with a southern drawl.

I like the spanish demonym for those of us from the United States: estadounidense. If you were to translate it literally it'd be like unitedstatesian, like brazilian (braziliense)

What you want to search for is “power augmentation”. Theres a bunch of comics that cover it. Search for that term and you'll get a few wikis that have more info and examples.

I’m on my ipad so i can’t combine these easily:

I need at least a plastic lawn chair and some milk crates for the tv or my back will explode. Otherwise looks decent.

The horse wasn’t necessarily historical. It could have been an allegory or some historians may have been confused about war terminology of siege engines.

As for the sailors hiding? Look at a map of where Troy is. It’s just inside the Dardanelles which is a strait linking the Aegean and Black Seas. The navy could have waited in the Aegean and sailed in at a predetermined time.

Ah, just like the good old days. I remember many a weekend spent trying to fix one issue on my rig only for 6 others to pop up, and then 12 more after like some crazy linux mandelbrot.

RTFM in this case means: Read the fucking man-page

A half acre is nothing. It’s ~20,000 sq/ft.

Arnock, on the night of his joining!

Con mucho gusto, amigo.

Cuatro is spelled with a C fyi.

Probably Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. All the older Indy games weren’t that great but this new one is really good.
