Franchouillarderie might be useful to the American scientists who are planning on fleeing to France ...
If you were to talk about Concorde, would you do it on an episode of Britainology or Well There's Your Problem?
Britainology? Britainology?! Not unless it was a 50-50 shared episode with, like, Franchouillarderie, the French equivalent of Britainology
I understand that 'Yefreitor' is a modifier added to a rank when you refuse a promotion. And that 'Detective' works basically the same way (except that the way you acquire it is kess clear). But I'm still unsure about satellite-officer. Is it a modifier ? Because no one is calling Jean anything else. We know that you become Satellite-officer if your partner is promoted and 'you rise with him'. But does it replace your actual rank? Are all Satellite-officer equals? MacLaine is also a Satellite-officer, but his partner is a sergeant, so does Jean outrank him even though their titles are EXACTLY THE SAME? How do people know?
And if it is a modifier if another rank, why not say the rank like they do with Yefreitor? Like Lieutenant-Satellite.
It's just such a weird rank to have. Have they been promoted but they have to keep the Satellite designation to remember where they come from? You can be a Lieutenant[normal], a Lieutenant [Yefreitor][complimentory] or a Lieutenant [Satellite][derogatory] ? How do you get rid of the modifier that says 'you're not that good but this other guy is, so... ' ?If you change partner, are you demoted? To a rank below? To the last rank that you held on your own?
Incredibly confusing hierarchical system.
"tiktok has massive problems that even if you don't agree with a complete ban have to be addressed for all social media platforms" and "the Chinese government is doing pretty awful things" and "there is a lot of sinophobic fearmongering and double standards in the conversation about tiktok" and "people should exercise basic caution signing up to foreign or domestic social media" and "most Chinese citizens like US citizens are just people living their life and cultural exchange between them can be beneficial for both sides" and "some people being on the same social media site isn't going to solve everything " and "I want to study the linguistics happening there under a microscope" are opinions that can coexist

I've just finished watching Interview with the Vampire and I can't believe Daniel passed up the opportunity to point out how high the Paris Covent would score on the BITE model of cults.

WIP of Jayce and Viktor levitation
I got arrested for beating someone up and Aziraphale from Good Omens was my lawyer. He was so bad at being a lawyer he got me more jail time instead of less.
This is uncanny
