I have no skin in this game since I don’t live in the US, but we’ve been in a similar situation here in France regarding the constant Macron vs Lepen elections. For what it’s worth, I feel sick everytime I vote for Macron, but I always remember that a racialized fried told me “If you can’t even bring yourself to feel slightly sick to protect minorities from fascism, then are you sure you’re actually an ally?”

I hate the subscription model so much

I think the word genre comes directly from the french word (“genre”, meaning “type”), which in the plural form is “genres”. I don’t think “genera” means anything, it’s probably a typo

Same here

The Rich Asshole class is OP honestly, hopefully they nerf it soon

Macron is the President, not the PM, so he doesn’t have to leave. Moreover, he’s the only one who can appoint a new PM, so all the NFP can do is put forward a candidate and hope His Majesty Macron deems him/her to be worthy. The whole situation is essentially a soft coup by Macron and his party, there’s no way around it

Thank you for that, my brain was stuck on “Chupacabra”

It should also be noted that a directive isn’t an “EU Law”, since it cannot be enforced directly (as opposed to a EU regulation such as the GDPR). It’s basically a framework that all EU member states have agreed they would each pass as a Law in their own jurisdiction (which explains the first quote in the article beginning by “Member States shall ensure …”).

Since eprivacy is “just” a directive, each member state has since passed their own implementing Law that have the same basis but can vary in their specifics, so rules on tracking and cookies aren’t the exact same in each member state.

It’s very reminiscent of the Paris commune, where Parisian pre-marxist socialists were killed almost to the last by the french army after they’d built a short-lived commune. It was basically the end of the Proudhonist idea of socialism (no gods, no masters), which provided space for Marxism to take over in France and particularly in Paris.

No offense intended since I’m fully incapable of pronouncing tons of English words properly (fuck “squirrel” specifically), but as a Frenchman who has lived near Mulhouse for a few years and interacted with a lot of foreign students, what you said probably wasn’t close to being the exact same as that guy

That is the face of a man 1 BJ away from passing out

As a European living in a big city I never quite understood just how huge these things are until I finally saw one stuck in traffic in a tiny Parisian street. These things are massive!

Honestly the endgame was pretty fun as well on face value if a bit barren, it’s the midgame that was super disappointing to me. Overall it’s a decent game imo, it just set expectations way too high and couldn’t deliver

I wish brands would stop trying to be funny

I think you’re spot on for Vision. If the last Phoenix Force buff taught me one thing, it’s that the difference between a 4-cost card that can move and a 5-cost card that can move is truly massive. I guess Vision got a bit more appealing for a Shuri combo and a last turn move to bait Shang Chi though, that’s probably something I’ll want to try out.

Paying money to work isn’t something I would consider worth it. Sure, I might get a bit of free time in the evenings, but it doesn’t seem like enough to justify the travel and lodging costs

This game is fascinating to me because of the range of reactions I’ve seen from players. Those who like it love it so much they call it a masterpiece, while those who don’t like it really hate it.

It’s also one of the only games I can think of which message (or at least what I personally interpret its message to be) gets less and less impactful the more people praise it. I feel like it only works if you go in blind and only expect a standard shooter, and really suffers from its reputation as a consequence. Expecting a fun shooter and getting this whole thing was a unique experience to me, while a friend of mine that played it expecting to find the experience he read about was super disappointed and hated it.

A weird game indeed, but I’m so glad it exists
