Ah, thanks for the correction. I changed it.
I 100% agree about the Dordogne. I was there twice and it is simply astounding how much there is to see. Not just the castles.

The castle was built in the 12th century and it was one of the castles in English possession during the War of Hundred Years. Right across the river, the equally remarkable castle of Castlenaud was in French possession.
After the War of Hundred Years the castle lost its strategic relevancy (like most medieval castles in the Dordogne region) and later modifications were made mostly in order to make it more comfortable for its inhabitants.
Due to its prominent position and authentic look, it was featured in numerous films, the most famous being "Jeanne d'Arc" (Dir: Luc Besson, 1999) and "The last Duel" (Dir: Ridley Scott, 2020).
I recommend browsing the Wikimedia Commons collection of photos for my beautiful impressions.

You are cute

It is okay to be small and silly. Not everyone has to choose violence. You can though if you come across knights and clergy.

'Free Eren from Elon': Elon Musk grossly misinterprets the messages of 'Attack on Titan', 'Jujutsu Kaisen', and more in pro-MAGA post
> Anime fans are shocked at how poorly Elon Musk represented 'Attack on Titan's Eren Yeager and other anime characters in an X post on election night.
In response to that story, Musk spewed some vile transphobia [CW!] that Wilson had to endure.
And one of the core tenets of fascism is a patriarchal leader who takes care of everything, particularly the "ugly mess" that is blamed on the scapegoats of the day.
Yeah, it's another case of employees paying for the mistakes of management. The company was probably doomed the moment Sony decided that they wanted them to create yet another live-service shooter.
Everyone knows why it's different for him: He is white.
Not mine. I only cross-posted it. The honor belongs to the OP ShareMySims who posted it on midwest.social.
Yeah, people who see the long list of minorities that would be negatively affected by a Trump presidency and insist that there is no difference between the candidates are telling on themselves: Who gets the presidency would make no difference - for them. And they have no empathy for anybody else.
Telling people in danger that their attempts to save themselves are contemptible is nothing but cynical callousness.
One more reason: The dish tastes exactly the same every time. No variation at all.
But when you cook real food, there is always a little variation because the ingredients are usually always slightly different (vegetables more or less watery, meat more or less lean, a little bit more or a little bit less salt or flavouring). It's one of the main skills of a really good cook: To perceive the subtle differences during the preparation and to bring out the best possible taste incorporating the differences.
