As proposed by /u/a7h13f in this discussion
"What makes a home?" I totally get that not everywhere a person lived would be considered their "home", but also I've had multiple places over the years that I would (at the time) have considered my home. So, what's the line between "Place that I live" and "Home"?

I've seen someone complaining it took two clicks to access the content, but I can't remember where it was. I was wondering what it would do to click the domain (I expected to have all the snaps from that domain, like a filter) and I discovered it takes us directly to the link!

Trublion, nom masculin
"Individu qui sème délibérément le trouble, le désordre"
Étymologie
(XIXe siècle) Mot formé par Anatole France[1], par plaisanterie, à partir du grec ancien τρύβλιον, trublion (« écuelle »), du surnom, « Gamelle », de Philippe d'Orléans, au moment de l'affaire Dreyfus. Anatole France écrit une satire dans un moyen français rabelaisien : « Lors parurent gens dans la ville qui poussoient grands cris, et feurent dicts les Trublions, pour ce que ils servoient ung chef nommé Trublion, lequel estoit de haut lignage, mais de peu de sçavoir et en grande impéritie de jeunesse. » — (Anatole France, Monsieur Bergeret à Paris, 1901)

10 years ago+3 3 0Is content in languages other than English tolerated here?
I'm wondering since Snapzu currently doesn't support content in languages other than English well as of now, there's a tribe for discussing how Snapzu should support other languages (in content, tribes, comments and user preferences).
This tribe, happy to discuss movies from outside the US, seems borderline appropriate for it, but would most of its members accept to see content (interviews, reviews, movie trailers) in other languages?
I just posted this snap, that's what made me wonder.
