So, what actually went down in Canada after they switched to the euro?

I swear, this forum kicks me out at least once a day. It's getting ridiculous.

There’s this strange film from '76—it was released here as Streetwalker starring Joe Dalesandar and directed by Valerian Borowczyk. Has anyone actually seen it?
It’s been a long time since I watched it, but certain scenes were quite provocative. A women's drama with touches of erotica...

Is this the one?

New Year's Eve on PBS

Emmanuelle, a French flick (Rated R)

It’s a women's drama about Sylvia Kristel traveling to Bangkok to spice up her sex life...

This was the first movie in that whole series of French softcore films based on the novel by Emmanuelle Arsan. It was a massive hit back in Europe, the US, and all over Asia. They even shot a sequel in 1975 because it blew up so much. Honestly, the influence of Emmanuelle was everywhere—it even inspired stuff like that Italian series, Black Emanuelle.

I mean, if someone tells you your nose is growing like Quincy's in a few years, you might just stare at them blankly—unless, of course, you've heard every cliché under the sun already. Every book teaches you something, I suppose... even if it's subtle.

With our politicians? Yeah, you bet.

Hopefully it's back up soon :-)

Works fine for me.

Once the tech guys spot a glitch, this is how they handle it:

Betty Chase4 said:It was the exact same story for me... I’d catch it back then (I think it aired right before the main movie) during those Thursday nights on Vox... right when my dad had just set up the satellite dish...
To be honest, those Emanuelle films were better than 90% of the porn produced in the US...🙏

The only thing worth watching is Sylvia Kristel, everything else is total garbage.

Nice is awesome, man. Seriously, women have so much patience 🙂 😘

what kind of topic is this 🤦

Why did the media absolutely trash this movie?

I actually first signed up for this site back on October 24, 1999. It looked nothing like this back then—way smaller, maybe five subreddits at most. People mostly hung out in two sections, one called "Midnight Warriors" and some other one I can't even remember. There weren't any moderators either, so everyone was constantly whining, "Give us some mods!"... we were probably only about twenty members total.

Back then, I actually found the URL by accident while flipping through a print edition of the internet monitor...

🤣

Just saw the video—totally misread who I was calling out (it was the politicians)

My bad

The font size increase isn't working—is this feature actually disabled or what?

Susan James said:Most people just fall back on that vague "personal reasons" excuse... but deep down, it’s usually just about someone else having touched the paperwork.
I mean, I’m sitting here in bed reading a book I borrowed from the local library, so I honestly don't have much to add to the debate...

So I guess they don't care about using hand-me-down textbooks from last year's class?

feralmoose32 said:My little one is in fourth grade now, and up until this point, the assignments were always pretty surface-level—just some general notes about the author and the book, listing the main characters, and maybe drawing a quick sketch or two
On top of that, they used to do these little flashcard drills at school and oral quizzes... just very straightforward stuff

But this year, things have shifted a bit—she’s been designing more interactive tasks that need to be completed while they're actually reading through the book, which I honestly think is a much better approach

As for the reading itself, my biggest hurdle is really just the constant coaxing to get him to sit down and focus... I've even tried mapping out a schedule, calculating roughly how many days he'll need to finish, and then adding a little extra buffer time just to be safe
If we're tackling something a bit more dense—like The Complexity of Being right now (which is quite a mouthful given all those old-fashioned expressions and terms that fly right over their heads)—I find it helpful to have him retell the story to me in his own words

She's getting them ready for middle school.

Now I have this annoying habit where I copy everything I write before I even touch the reply button. Just in case I get booted, so I can just paste it back in later.

But it isn't even a real logout, because if I just hit refresh, it brings me right back to the forum and magically logs me back in. That's the weird part.
It’s like the forum has some kind of glitchy login timeout where it momentarily forgets I'm even signed in, then suddenly remembers. 🙂

Same thing happens to me too.

I was just watching this news segment and it's wild—they aren't even saying Turkey anymore, they're calling it Türkiye in English!!

I know it might be a bit more confusing for Spock types to follow, but it'll make things way easier for Americans to read.
Thanks!👍

honestly, it all depends on who ends up being the mod over there

bluerider63 said:I don't think the CDC would be feeling the same way you are, man. When exactly did they call it over?

When was the last time you actually heard a single number regarding infection rates on the US news?
