Bad title. Some French scumbags ≠ France

Who cares what any Russian ambassador has to say? Let them suck Putin’s dick instead of talking to them.

But Hamas is bad and hiding behind the population…Not IDF’s fault if they hide from the bombs! So bombing people and civilian buildings is OK! Smile, have a good day. And remember to support the forces of Good fighting the Axis of Evil!

Would skiing be an option?

Second this. The inconvenience of winter weather in particular. Dutch people are used to say that there is no bad weather to ride a bike, only inadequate gear.

Started reading books again. Refreshing!

Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half… For a short moment I thought that a rare species of bird saw their population increase due to the implementation of adequate environmental policies. Anyway, enjoy your team winning!

Well I guess some people are clearly on edge about some subjects… hard to crack one without scandalizing folks

Nothing, I was just shitposting from the other side if the pond ;-)

Unless you live in 17th Century Italy and you want your boy to be the vest singer in the choir!

Of course I would have! I have never been without a job since I started 25 years ago and this is frightening with kids studying and a mortgage. Jumping from one job to another is not really a thing in my field/country. People prefer staying where they are rather than taking a chance

Landed my current job with a 30 minute zoom interview that I took from my previous office. This came at the end of an 18 month process during which I carefully selected potential positions. I applied to 20ish positions, got about 5-6 interviews and 2 offers. The first one fell through because they couldn’t match my previous compensation package. Definitely worth it

I would say until Putin dies, in 2035

I see your point and agree the comparison is a bit over the top. I was just pointing the the fact that dictators tend to bend together to strengthen their power and opress their populations.

Whataboutism.

The US have their fare share of helping coups and dictators. Doesn’t change the fact that this is an alliance of dictatorships, much like the one we saw in Europe a century ago, only with less money and power.

Behold! The new Axis of crippled corrupt dictators have assembeled!

That was anticlimactic

I am all for men wearing skirts and dresses. No law is forbidding them to do so, at least in Europe.

I’ve seen freedom of choice when a social group pushes their norm on everyone. Either you carve or you leave. This is a very powerful tool to impose norms on people, women particularly. What freedom of choice do you have when you are a 15 yo girl with parents, brothers, cousins, etc who tell you that you have to wear “modest” clothing (fuck that phrase by the way, are men modest with their shorts and t-shirts?)? Either you carve or you break with your social group.

You know very well that the equivalent of bikinis are speedos, your comment is not made in good faith.
