Where one learns that a liar, robber, sociopath rapist can be a nice grandfather...

I see a Mercator projection, I downvote

T'inquiète que si ça coûtait plus cher de contrôler, ils arrêteraient. Dans tous les systèmes urbains de TC, la participation des usagers représente une part importante, bien que minoritaire, du coût au km.

Ha! Je JDD qui dénonce Reddit! On aura tout vu!

That's some quality shower thought!

OK, thanks for the simile, it makes sense. I didn't notice the trend but it might be so. I tend to skeem through / skip entierly comments that are clearly not on topic. Also, I like that all you characters have a name that starts with M!

I understand the concern and certainly believe that troll farms are slowly creeping into Lemmy as it gains traction. However, I think most of US bashing is authentic as it reflects the enormous impact of US political life on the rest of the planet. Moreover, other countries receive a constant flux of information about the US, to the point where it seems that US news is as important as domestic news. The fact that Trump remains omnipresent in the media doesn't help either.

GINGER?

The Guardian now uses "climate crisis".

Un the EU, fines are up to 6% of annual revenues.

Yes. If you go back in time, you end up where the Earth used to be at that moment, I.e. thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, hudreds of millions kms away. Arguably, if you go back a full galactic year you can end up somewhat in the vincinity of the solar system.

Great timing!

Nothing to do with recent French recognition of Occidental Sahara's right for self-determination!

When is the newspaper which received the "President of the Republic’s Award for Professional Journalist in the Electronic Press" going to talk about the Algerian civil war of the 1990s?

Russian missiles downing civilian passenger planes... It's starting to look like a trend!

Poor Italian guy who got disqualified after winning the marathon, because other people helped him get back up when he fell...

Sure enough, France was not as determined to hunt Jews, and some French were determined to save them, with the Resistance, the Justes and the Communists. Nevertheless, France does carry part of the guilt, which partially explains its stance toward Israel and its unconditional "right to defend itself".

Things ARE complicated! I surely didn't offer any way out of the issue!

Yes and no. On the one hand, France actively helped the Nazis hunt French Jews during the occupation. Moreover, Germany should understand that you don't get the absolution for one genocide by enabeling another.

In siding with the rich and powerful against somewhone who is objectively opposing the rich and powerful, NY's mayor is showing how much of a political battle the trial will be.

Not so simple. France has a radical leftwing party (The France Unbowed) that has been denouncing the genocide in Gaza for months. They got 70 deputies in the last snap elections, far from giving them any mandate to govern the country... Their activism is indeed a way to get votes from French people of Maghreb origins. Still, people label them as antisemitic because they won't accept the self-defense narrative that is being pushed by Israel.
