Yeah, that veneer of good intentions and plausible deniability hiding the fact that the US has always been a warmongering country was the basis of its position as a world leader. Now it’s gone, and the bare, ugly truth is right there for anyone to see

That’s perhaps true since the fall of the USSR, but European so-called communists definitely did not love anarchists for most of their history. Most anarchists I know are still very weary of people calling themselves communists

The cheat code for this is being a native french speaker. Can’t pronounce “squirrel” though, si it’s not a perfect solution

I’ve just asked my partner to “grab me by the scruff of the neck and force me to take an appointment”, as soon as possible. Thanks for your message, it actually gave me the momentum I needed to get moving

Same, but I’m still stuck in the “I sent an email to an ADHD specialist 6 months ago to get an appointment but he hasn’t replied yet, I should probably look for another one” phase.

After years hearing about how awful haggis is, I’ve been very pleasantly surprised when I finally got to taste it earlier this year. It tastes like mutton, which I love, and the oats give it a very pleasant texture. Definitely in my top tier of British food

I mostly do messer (based on Leckuchner’s treaty), a bit of arming sword and buckler (based on the 1.33 manuscript) and recently started 19th century sabre (based on Waite’s manual). They’re all really fun but my heart goes to messer, it’s such a fun weapon to use and the period really interests me.

What’s keeping you from getting back in?

So in May or June this year I had this idea about crafting myself a scabbard for a sword I use in HEMA. I bought power tools, plywood, wood glue, wood varnish, linen sheets, leather, a shit ton of leather making tools. Then it made me want to try out wood carving so I bought tools for that, as well as for wood whittling “to try my hand with smaller scale projects”.

6 months later, all I have to show for it is an unfinished knife sheath I tried to make to train myself and then lost interest in finishing

At this point just cut the middle man and have battery 1 directly charge battery 2, then reverse it when it’s done. Same results with way less hassle

From the looks of it, what they’re calculating is a net promoter score. The idea is that, in some context, what you actually want to know is whether your target audience would be willing to actually promote your business to their friends and family or not.

It’s very common in retail and other competitive markets, because a customer that had an “okay” experience could still go to a competitor, so only customers who had a great experience (7+ out of ten) are actually loyal, returning clients.

Don’t know if that’s the best method to gather impressions on workplace environment though, I don’t think many people would consider their workplace “amazing”

Sure, that’s great but it’s not even the point. Fundamental research and other type of “useless” scientific endeavors help humanity as a whole to better understand our universe but would never be privately funded because they don’t have any concrete and immediate financial benefits. This is precisely what a government should finance, because no one else would do it and yet it’s small stuff like that that make us collectively move forward as a species

For those who don’t know, french gendarmes are part of the military. Those Israeli policemen just assaulted a French soldier on French soil which, you know, is usually a pretty big diplomatic no-no

Please don’t do anything rash. The fight still goes on, the not-fascist part of America needs you! Love and support from France

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 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

You created this post in order to give yourself an alibi when someone notices this game appears in your “Last games played”, didn’t you?

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
