I don't know how people can deal with French language, let's see : passé composé, passé simple, plus que parfait, l'imparfait du subjonctif, accent grave, circonflexe..... so exhausting

[@adadaprout]

90% of the everyday spoken french = present / passe compose / imparfait and futur. A lot of french don't even know how to use any tense of the subjonctif mode (except present of course, like in "il faut que j'aille me coucher"). Anyway it's a difficult language for sure.

Making people laugh cannot be stolen. like the Mona Lisa, you can copy it but you will never steal it.

[@dgrob6460]

Of course. But your analogy just doesnt make sense. If you wanted it to make sense, we'd have to imagine a place where very few people know about Mona Lisa, then some random guy would copy it and become rich and famous thanks to something he copied... There's a reason why copyrights exist. Though, it saddens me knowing he's got good acting and impersonation skills

[@docmostafa]

@@dgrob6460 but joke copyright doesn't exist, because Federal copyright laws protect the expression of ideas but not the ideas themselves.

Doc MISS Yh, as it seems you only see the mistake I made, there you go.It’s called plagiarism, my bad, which is a form of theft. Same shit. Anything else?

This guy played a show at the suburban comedy club I used to work at. People were flying in from Europe to see him, and we think they were literally just coming for his show and then immediately going back. People kept showing up with luggage bags and asking if we had a spot for them and we just went "uh... no, why would we?" I was seeing driver's licenses from as far away as Madagascar and Mauritius. Dozens of people who left their passports at their hotel rooms were pissed at me because I was in charge of telling them that we couldn't legally accept non-passport foreign IDs as proof of age (they're too easy to fake). And when the show ended a dozen people were milling around in the lobby waiting for him to come out for over an hour and I had to lie and say, no, he didn't already sneak out the back way 45 minutes ago; we basically had to force them out (they told me I was rude for telling them not to stalk a celebrity and condescendingly told me to "think about the way you talk to people" and I'm still angry thinking about that) and they were still standing outside the doors when I left well past midnight.
