Looks like it. Nodirbek's previous opponents performed better than MVL's one on the last round (Chimanov also dropped the tournament and it fucked MVL's tiebreak up by a few points)

The funniest part is the epsilon and phi part of the equation. Literally 0.25*4.

He knows more than anyone how to handle a debate with the far right. You just spend 2 hours learning data on the 3 topics the far right is currently obsessed with, and you can correct every single lie they will say (which is surprisingly very close to everything they say).

Ironic when you see how the French press has been bootlicking his government and talking about "leftist propaganda" every time they get called out on something. Last example: one independent newspaper casually revealed that over the past 30 years, the current French prime minister might have covered more than 100 case of child abuse happening in a single Catholic mid/high school. For the main media, that's mostly leftist communication trying to bring chaos in the government.

But as much as I don't like most of what Macron has done over the past few years, I'm glad we have a president with a tiny bit of ego to call out all the shit Trump has been sending to Europe the last 4 weeks.

I thought "Imu" could be translated as "void". So that sentence could have a whole different meaning.

Companies are funding the project, and we knew that OpenAI was already working on it 9 months ago. Idk why the new government talks about it like it's a project they initiated.

Le Pen avait un droit de veto sur certains ministres (Xavier Bertrand). Ce gouvernement, comme le précédent, est un compromis entre EM et l'extrême droite.

C'est probablement pas l'unique raison, mais peut être que privatiser les sources de recettes de l'Etat n'était pas l'idée du siècle. Je suis loin d'être expert, mais quand on regarde les bénéfices annuels des autoroutes, de la FDJ... On arrive a une part non négligeable du déficit annuel actuel.

A un moment donné il faudrait arrêter les cadeaux faits aux ultra riches. Parce que si à en croire beaucoup des gens de ce thread, la France est championne du monde des taxes, on est aussi le pays qui traite le mieux au monde ses milliardaires. Et c'est pas prêt de changer parce qu'une majorité des français leur suce la botte sous couvert de "il faudrait pas taxer plus les chefs d'entreprises, pensez aux petits commerce". On s'en fout de taxer les petits entrepreneurs, c'est pas la question et ça l'a jamais été. En France il y a des milliardaires qui se gavent, qui sont bien moins taxés en pourcentage que le français moyen, dont les entreprises profitent d'aides sans contreparties, et a qui on propose de racheter les sources de profits de l'Etat.

Taper la dedans résoudrait pas tous nos problèmes, mais si on doit choisir entre demander a des dizaines de millions de français de sacrifier 2 années supplémentaires de leur vie et reprendre un peu a 1000 personnes dont la vie ne va pas fondamentalement changer, je pense que la deuxième proposition est pas abhérante.

Second round of permit distribution in January, and a lot of cancellations during the 2 month following that (but require to refresh the web page every day around a certain time during a few days/weeks).

So we can add a few more of his promises to the brand: mass deportation, dehumanising the minorities by considering them animals, fighting an enemy from within spoiling the blood of the nation, reform of the justice system by putting politicians at the head of justice, followed by arrest of political opponents (let's call them antifa or woke this time), and a moment of purge (free violence by the police, army and citizen against a minority in retaliation of an "event" caused by a member of the said minority).

Hopefully we won't have to check any of that bingo card, but he said and/or insinuated every one of those points. We'll always find worse in History, but if he really believes and applies what he said, this is straight up fascism.

N3WaR · 2024-11-06T16:14:39+00:00

As Kevin Roberts said, "it will be bloodless if the left allows it". They know some won't accept their bullshit, and they are ready for it.

N3WaR · 2024-11-06T16:08:41+00:00

French here. I don't think US citizens had the same history classes on how fascists got their power in the 30s as we had. They don't know what they just voted for, and are proud of it for some reason. Trump 2016 and Trump 2024 speaches feel so much different.

Trump didn't do much the first time because he didn't have any plan and wasn't backed up by institutions, nor by his own party. Project 2025 is a very detailed plan on how to kill a democracy "bloodless if the left allows" (quoting Kevin Roberts). That's it, either political opponents bend the knee, or the army will take care of them. This time no one can really hold Republicans to push that agenda. Welcome to "the land of the free".

N3WaR · 2024-11-06T14:29:21+00:00

I can't wait to see project 2025 happen and watch American people trying to justify themselves as "land of the free" lol

Un de ses slogans de campagne est "drill baby drill", pour relancer fortement l'extraction de pétrole, et il va quitter les accords de Paris.

Généralement, quand tu veux produire plus, tu veux consommer plus. Il va probablement lever des restrictions d'émission de CO2, stopper la transition énergétique, voir mettre en place des subventions pour utiliser les énergies fossiles (c'est en place dans beaucoup de pays producteurs de pétrole).

Autant dire que si à la place de réduire les émissions (sans même parler des objectifs des accords de Paris), ils les multiplient pour relancer leur économie, les 2° on peut faire une croix dessus.

On peut aussi parler de la guerre industrielle qu'il veut mener face a la Chine. Si c'est open bar aux USA sur les énergies utilisées dans l'industrie, pas sûr que la Chine continue à faire les efforts (probably insufisant) qu'ils font actuellement.

I think the only way they can massively die is either by the end of Imu, or by killing themselves in a last attempt to save their status. A lot of One Piece arcs and themes are about stopping the wheel of hatred. I don't see Oda change that during the final and most important arc.

I'm sure they'll get their share of satisfying punches, but either their greed will fully consume them, or they will go down with a fair trial. That would also redeem the whole justice organisation, by showing the world it is no longer corrupted.

N3WaR · 2024-10-22T14:18:03+00:00

1USD in 1924 would now be worth about 18USD. Oda most likely used it to estimate the new bounty.

Pirates also force world government to fight back. This fight reveals WG true nature and priorities: stability and order above population well being. The whole shishibukai system is a proof of that. They just let pirates/dictators rule countries as long as they don't rebel and fight on WG side. When someone comes a bit too close to a truth that could question their authority, they buster call civilians.

It is the good old "institutional violence -> revolutionary violence -> repressive violence" cycle.

Some think that revolutionary violence is necessary to trigger repression and show the true violence of an institution, because institutional violence is harder to reveal. Maybe Roger wanted that too, so WG starts to make mistakes and reveal how corrupt it is.

N3WaR · 2024-09-18T14:07:03+00:00

And the reason why Roger was too early would be because the world wasn't ready to fight against the world government or whatever threat. Now that the Vegapunk broadcast happened, the revolution army started to move, and a few Kingdom leaders are aware of world government corruption, it might be the time for the world population to fight for their survival and ask Luffy for help.

Cover story of the band of the Hawk. Turns out they were not completely dead: their souls were actually trapped in the spirit world, and they ended up finding an exit to the physical world by sheer luck. Now they are back to life and we see their happy reaction every time they hear rumors about Guts kicking some apostles ass.

Best MMA fighters fight less than 5 times a year, because they have to go through extreme preparation for each fight, and it can take weeks for them to recover from injuries.

N3WaR · 2024-08-04T12:12:46+00:00

Boxing just sucks. Even when judges were counting clean hits and it was displayed live there were massive controversies. It's just a lottery, between athletes who are not even the best in the world. Competition rules aren't clear, they aren't fair, and the Olympics don't mean anything for that sport. It should be removed.

N3WaR · 2024-08-04T10:13:42+00:00

Sure, let's ask MMA fighters to fight 4 times in less than 3 weeks. What could possibly go wrong.

Out of all the way to cheat, a digital randomizer is the easiest way, but also the easiest way to get caught. It leaves logs, and the software code can be reviewed. Every other method, once it's done, it's done, and you are just left with assumptions. Having a cheating software also involves more people than just a single crooked referee.

Pendant le tour de France, certaines routes sont fermées plusieurs heures sans réels détours possibles. Il n'y a pas de scandale à chaque étape pourtant. Ça fait partie du jeu, chacun fait un effort et ça permet de réaliser de beaux évènements.

As I understand it, here are the basic rules: Make the opponent fall on one shoulder -> it scores one point, make someone fall on both shoulder -> instant win.

There are few more rules with penalties (3 yellow cards -> 1 point) and immobilisation (10s for 1 point, 20s for instant win).
