It was Brad Pitt’s character in a Thanksgiving episode, but Ross, as member of the “I hate Rachel” club help spread the rumour in high school to stop jocks dating her.

Échec = Failure
Voué is the past participle of vouer which can mean to bless/offer to god or, in our case, to vow or solemnly promise.
So I guess a poetic translation would be like “Betrothed to failure.”
PS: I originally forgot to mention, but vouer mostly archaic. You’ll likely only encounter it as part of that expression.
It means “doomed to fail”.
Maybe try the Mauril app…

Gopnik talks about moral and artistic values while completely ignoring the moral implications of financially supporting a living artist and their problematic behaviour.
Added you as well 🙂

Speaking to the content of the review, I have to say that the quickness of the game was a plus for me.
Maybe not the most meaningful feedback, but, FWIW, I really like the cover…
That site is painfully over saturated with adds.
The Unmatched Game System is on a lot of top lists recently and they have a set of Marvel-themed sets, with more planned I believe:
Personally, I love the game. I’ve had good experiences with gamers and non-gamers alike. I was originally concerned that the Marvel expansions would be subpar, relying on the IP, but, honestly, they have some of my favourite character mechanics.
On a related note, speakerphone calls in public spaces.
You are not the main character.
Awesome bot whoever made this. Thank you.
Yes and yes.
It was important to me when we got the bands that they not be particularly ornate. So they’re plain bands and don’t interfere with the vast majority of activities.
