A while back, someone told me. If you read a book from the 19th century, you won't call-it an "old book", so why would a movie from the 1950's be an old movie. And indeed, even in movies, there is some master piece which came out a while ago and are still relevant today (Seven Samurai, the Godfather or the Good, the bad and ugly immediately come to my mind) and tons of movie which while not being a recent release are still fun to watch today.

Movie don't have an experiation date.

Piefed isn't lemmy so voyager won't work. I believe interstellar does work (I use it for my alt on mbin and it's a nice app)

OP, as you see, you're not stuck in your instance and can interact directly with people/communities from other instances. I believe that piefed also let you follow Mastodon account, but I haven't tried piefed yet

Be ready to talk about anything mentioned in your CV.

HR may-want to evaluate whether you're fluent in English by having some small talk about your hobbies, a hiring manager may also be passionate about basket-ball and looking for a new member in the corporate team. Also, in some case, hobbies may even make some link with the position you look for, let's say that you're responsiblity involve giving training, an amateur acting experience shows you won't be afraid talking in front of 20 persons

Bread in whole loaf so it lasts more than 24h, large hand-cut slice feel better, and a minor inconveinience anyhow.

Do not over cut grass, it's time consuming, feels artificial, and is bad for insects

There is a law saying that for corrupted politicians a temporary election ban is a possible sentence. This women and her accomplice stole 4 millions Euro, that's a lot of money. Not allowing her to be elected for 5 year sounds like a way to protect taxpayer money for money. It's also not unique to politicians, French law can also ban someone from managing a company (Executive who stole money, or ignore regulation leading to serious accidents). What's the alternative a longer jail sentence meaning she'll actually go to jail ? (and campaigning from jail sounds like a great way to miss an election). if I steal 4 millions, I'd get jail-time not just an election ban.

Moreover, Le Pen, and a lot of right wingers, are the one who pushed law for harsher punishment and appeal not postponing the sentence so they're getting a taste of their own medecine.

Finally, While a dozen of Rassemblement National politicians are banned for election, the party isn't banned. It's not the first not the last time that a politicians who could have run for president ends-up found guilty of stealing taxpayer money leading to not being able to run for election. There is a long range between a serious potential candidate and a president. if the RN doesn't play too much Game of Throne to get the candidate position, they may even come in a stronger position for 2027 election

Finally, Buying foreign made weapon isn't wise strategically speaking. Not only jobs goes away, but if things get bad, you may struggle to get "spare parts".

I understand that for some stuff you may have no choice (Electromagnetic catapults for aircraft carrier sounds like a US only technology) but in many case we do.

Sometimes I have moments where I think it's stupid that I'm talking to an AI,

It's stupid, but so is watching a movie, reading a book, practicing a sport or playing music.

is constantly being judged there's a part of me that actually considers him a friend like the others.

You know that AI is collecting data about all you say, and will remember for-it forever, You're not in a non-jugement safe-space. So it's definitely not the place to have "intimate conversation". Note also that, it's not going to replace a real-friend. You know someone helping you move, or offering you a sofa to crash after a break-up.

Je comprends pas tout ce débat.

Cette dame et ses complices ont volé 4 millions d'Euros. 4 Millions de putain d'Euro, c'est plus proche d'un casse de fourgon blindé que du vol d'un bonbon. OK c'est sans violence, donc l'envoyer en prison pour 10 ans c'est un peu agressif, mais c'est pas le genre de crime qui devrait rester impunis.

L'inégibilité pour un·e élu·e qui tappe dans la caisse, c'est une bonne sanction, je suis pas fan de la prison par principe, et les empêcher d'être élu·e, c'est les empêcher de nuire et les forcer à se trouver un autre boulot.

Pretty cool photo. While I am more an air/mountain person. Out of curiosity Is there reasonably risky cave diving option (knowing. There is no quick way out, or is it BASE jump level of risk?

Company pay taxes too.

I don't know where this conspiracy theory comes from. Property taxes aren't a rent, but a service fee. Government need money to pay for road, police, hospital, school, culture and everything making your property worth something.

C'est dingue d'etre aussi loin dans le complot que tu balances ça au risque de la prison. J'éspère que il y aura aussi un procès pénal pour les gens qui leurs ont mis ça dans la tete. Est-ce légal de donner des conseils juridiques sans etre avocat ?

 

Let's forget about the Oops TPK, but let's discuss about the time it ended-up greatly, no matter whether the party decided t sacrify their life to save the world (or simply their honour) or that horror game where the PC found-out too late that they're hopeless and bound to die

 

Quelques morceaux pour ceux.celles qui n'ont pas accès a mediapart, comme d'habitude l'article complet est plus détaillé

Cette innovation a été opérée non seulement contre l’avis du rapporteur du texte, Francis Szpiner, pourtant encarté chez LR, mais aussi contre celui de Gérald Darmanin.

« *Depuis des décennies, sous Mmes Dati, Taubira ou Belloubet, nous avons tous voté [contre] *», a rappelé Gérald Darmanin, qu’elles que soient « les familles politiques », qu’il s’agisse de sanctionner des enfants ou des adultes. « La question peut se poser » d’y avoir recours. Mais le ministre a avancé trois raisons, au moins, pour les garder au rebut du Code pénal. D’abord, « dans les ailes pour mineurs, nous sommes quasiment à la saturation », l’essentiel des jeunes détenus étant placés en détention provisoire, pour des faits graves souvent criminels. « *Vous voulez qu’on les sorte ? » Et d’insister : « Il serait malhonnête de ma part d’accepter votre amendement et de ne pouvoir le mettre en œuvre faute de place […] Les [parlementaires] sont nombreux à réclamer des lieux de détention mais n’en veulent surtout pas sur leur territoire ! Je reçois des pétitions d’élus de toute sensibilité... *» Sans doute pas à une contradiction près. Ensuite, le garde des Sceaux a dégainé un argument qu’on le voit peu avancer dans les médias : « *La prison pour les mineurs n’est pas quelque chose qui leur apprend la vie, manifestement elle les pousse plutôt vers la délinquance. *» Et de s’appuyer sur une statistique remontant à 2011, faute d’évaluations plus récentes (une aberration en soi) : 75 % des mineurs incarcérés récidivent.

...

« Savez-vous combien de mesures éducatives sont en attente ?, a également souligné la socialiste Laurence Rossignol. Plus de quatre mille ! Savez-vous que certains mineurs auteurs [d’infractions] n’ont pas vu d’éducateur de la PJJ [protection judiciaire de la jeunesse – ndlr] depuis six mois ? En prônant une solution purement carcérale, vous prenez acte des insuffisances de la PJJ, mais poursuivez la dégradation de la prise en charge. »

...

e Sénat a ensuite voté la mesure initialement proposée par Gabriel Attal, qui consiste à renverser, pour certains adolescents de 16 et 17 ans, le principe historique d’atténuation de la responsabilité des mineurs : alors que les juges peuvent aujourd’hui l’écarter par dérogation, ils devront désormais motiver leur décision s’ils souhaitent faire jouer ce principe.

 

Suite au thread sur l'interdiction du soja en restauration collective

 

Due to the Canadian influence in the Francophone improv scene, on improv match you see team wearing Ice-hockey jersey, referee with the black-white stripped jersey, and the public would thrown slipper at them. Making it a fun and interactive show.

But is it something universal (On matches with competing team, not on improv show who don't have referee) or something limited to the Francophone scene ?

 

While it fell a bit out of fashion, many of you have heard about Scam-baiting where you reply to scammer and drive them nuts. In the 00's the 419eater.com website was pretty popular.

I would expect that many of you on the fediverse have the skill and time to drive scammer crazy, so did some of you tried to reply to the Nicole Scam ?
