Yeah, what a loss. Now it will only be able to suggest glue on burgers. /s

Sorry, I should have been clearer: his party scored badly in the EU elections, so he lost credibility in France and is calling snap elections in France. I'll edit my comment above to clarify.

Macron's party got disastrous results and got trounced by the far right in the European elections.

He had been selling himself as the shield that protected France from the rise of the local far right party. With these results, he has lost his credibility, and therefore his government did as well.

Therefore he's calling out-of-schedule French parliamentary elections that -- I assume -- he hopes will reelect his party and allies ahead of the far right. It might work: the far right party polls strong at around 30%, but has few allies, and may not be able to form a coalition government. If Macron himself can, that will strengthen his legitimacy.

Needless to say, this is a risky gamble.

Thank goodness, fucking outta there is like THE special power of the Everest.

Empirically: they are.

Interesting deep dive and very much worth a read. I'd say it probably underestimates the weight of finance-related pressures coming from the CFO's office, though.

The Spathi warplane is coming along nicely.

Too real. They'll steal your heart alright, but god damn.

I am highly doubtful trump would be worse.

Lol.

Presumably the My Little Pony comic. I haven't read it but I understand it likes putting in references that will amuse adults.

If you are considering picking up Outer Wilds, by god, go in blind. It's all about finding out.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Wasn't it shown that e.g. Russia is targeting our side just as heavily?

What would France even do with UK though, have you seen the absolute state of the thing?

I wonder why people are downvoting your comment. It's literally what happened. See for instance this paper on the history of gender segregation in the Olympics: https://theworld.org/stories/2016-08-17/see-120-years-struggle-gender-equality-olympics.

Quote: "Margaret Murdock from the US won a silver in a tie in the 1976 Riffle Event, one of the events in the shooting categories. The rifle event was split into men's and women's events in 1984."

Obvious Russian agitprop is obvious. 🙄

I don't know why you are getting downvoted. This is a very valid and interesting point. Durable improvements are systemic, not individual, and the drive to look for heroes leads to nasty places.

Everypony.

An oft overlooked option that leaves no one indifferent.

Empirically: a pandemic. :(

Pern!

Although the person who picked the Culture is absolutely on to something.

Correct, AFAIU.
