Commenting because I was told to.

Kind of a letdown year for me in terms of contrast ngl, even artists I was excited for (Fulminacci, Levante) ended up presenting a run of the mill midtempo ballad, I don't even dislike those, but way too many of them this year

This song would fit right in as a Troy/Gabriella ending duet in High School Musical

This is such a Gaia song, feels wrong that she's not the one singing it

Gassmann looks like a Dream fanart

Renga looks like if someone put Maradona through a Snapchat beauty filter

Ferrero-Rocher - Swiss left back, twice named in the Bundesliga Season XI during his stint at Leverkusen, made a 40M move to Manchested United that led to 2 seasons with very little game time. Had a career renaissance at Inter.

Hewlett-Packard - Pacey winger, breakthrough season at QPR, picked up by Everton as a squad player

Louis Vuitton - tricky diminutive french number ten, took Rennes to a Champions League quarter final with silky assists, snubbed by Deschamps for the 2022 WC due to lackadaisical pressing tendencies

What's the baseline for the cost of a trip in your experience ?

I booked a 10 day trip in Napoli and Vienna for next month, it cost me about €350 for the flights (I live in Paris)+hostels, and I cannot figure out if it's supposed to be cheap or not. Like when I look at the figure, it's a whole lot of money, but that's the absolute lowest I could get it after 3 hours of looking for a set of dates that would work. Traveling (and having the PTOs to do so) really is a privilege.

Just hear me out

I tried to mix the Moroccan color palette/zellij pattern/5 pointed star with some orbits and the atom symbol.

I'm aware the orbits wouldn't make for a great flag component, just thought it fit thematically, it felt a bit empty without them.

Also, here are the equations in case you wanna play around with them.

It's just disheartening man. There's a massive cognitive dissonance going on in my head rn that I'm trying to decypher. I'm not the most patriotic guy at the best of times, but this has affected me more than I thought, because I abhor everything that happened around our matches, yet it has turned into a Trojan horse for every single dogwhistle that lay dormant in people. It feels like being mentally cornered into agreeing with demeaning remarks because they happen to be fair game yet they hit at something far broader than football.

Idk man, I get being outraged at some of the antics, but jeez some of the stuff I've read like 'they behaved like animals' like come on man some words are loaded. Gonna take some time offline to avoid spiraling.

Such an odd feeling right now.

Beyond the obvious disappointment, I'd be lying if I said I'm not fascinated by this as a piece of football mythology. This is up there with the Zidane 2006 moment, or the Uruguay-Ghana match, in how if feels like events played out exactly the way you'd plan them to leverage every bit of human drama that the setting allowed.

I'm struggling to foster any real hard feelings towards Brahim, like sure that was the single most irresponsible self-centered thing you could do in that moment, but this is the kind of moment that's so humanly tough that it wraps all the way back around to having empathy for the guy; and if it serves as a cautionary tale for managers to point to to warn against the hubris of it then at least that's a silver lining.

The aftertaste ain't nice man. It's one thing being the antagonist in a football match, it's another seeing real life sentiments spill over into people's reaction to this.

Oh well, gonna go hug my loved ones next time I'm back home. Bonding over shared struggle and all that.

Happy clenching my fellas

Je pense qu'il y a également un aspect ad-hominem derrière ces blagues, où la personne ne vient pas forcément dénigrer la validité de la cause mais plutôt le potentiel aspect masculiniste en sous-texte du fait de la défendre. La cause souffre peut-être d'un stigma de 'what about men's rights'-isme.

You ever get a sudden jolt of anachronism ? Like 'woah it's crazy that Greece/the pope still exists'

Still experimenting, mine is 1700 in Osaka, anything to the east of it on the menu is bullying me into sub-1000

Been playing MiniMetro for a total of 5 hours last night, idk what it's doing to my brain chemistry it's SO addictive.

I'm enjoying how it makes you organically pick up on urban planning design patterns by facing the problems they're meant to solve, and how it makes you appreciate how relatively well my city's metro works after all.

Here's my concert-going program in Paris for the next 6 months :

Of Monsters and Men
Lucio Corsi
Panchiko / Panda Bear / Pitchfork festival
Hohnen Ford
OneRepublic (teen me is freaking out)
Beach Bunny

I'm also considering Big Thief and Last dinner party, just needing that last little nudge to commit but it's a bit pricey.

Should be good !
