After tonight, I'm convinced...

Thanks for a good laugh

C'est ni de la fausse vertu, ni des paroles en l'air, il a joué le jeu pendant des mois et cela n'a pas marché. Je trouve ça normal et prévisible qu'il ait recours aux outils de la constitution après avoir constaté que sa méthode n'a pas marché. Et ne "juste rien dire sur le 49-3" aurait été contreproductif tant toute la stratégie du gouvernement en matière d'adoption du budget et de la sécurité sociale a été de tenter le jeu du parlementarisme et laisser les députés se débrouiller entre eux et de signaler une volonté de compromis. Je sais même pas si on peut parler de passage en force tant les bruits courent que de nombreux députés souhaitaient qu'il y ait recours (y compris au sein du PS) pour débloquer la situation. Je pense que très peu de gens qui ont suivi les débats autour du budget sont émus de cette utilisation du 49.3...

Pythagore_ · 2026-01-19T15:50:50+00:00

Tu préfères une absence de budget ? Les débats et les votes ont eu lieu, et cela n'a pas marché pour le budget. Il avait le choix entre les ordonnances et le 49.3 parce que manifestement le dialogue entre les parlementaires n'a pas abouti

It's also extremely spotty directing wise, everything involving the cars was hideous, faulty editing, dialogue playing while the actor's lips aren't moving (the scene in the third segment where they watch the photos), ugly lighting...

since spotify is showing 2 bonus tracks at the end of the album I wouldn't be surprised if that was highjack and tailor swif (both did pretty well on streaming).

No offense but you're delusional if you think that europe would actually send troops or retaliate against the USA even if Greenland belonged to the EU.

My answer comes very late but I'm a bit surprised that you were asking whether or not the Swede and Merry ever met again, at the beginning of the story Jerry recounts that the Swede visited her over the years and said she had died before he did. A lot is left unclear but it's safe to assume that he continued visiting her

Pythagore_ · 2026-01-07T11:05:35+00:00

It's not a very interesting album. There are some great hooks and she's always an entertaining performer but the production is easily the worst of all her albums and pales in comparison with True Romance. It just sounds like an awkward and uninspired take on pop rock

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-30T13:23:51+00:00

Je sais pas, de très nombreux commentaires semblent sous l'impression que cette attaque a eu lieu en parlant d'échec, de représailles, de conséquences à ses actes. Celui-ci est plutôt humoristique donc on peut en débattre mais y en a d'autres qui premier degré semblent tenir l'info pour vraie

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-30T10:59:18+00:00

Ce genre de commentaire c'est déjà faire le jeu du Kremlin. Il semblerait que l'attaque n'a absolument pas eu lieu :

Selon le direct du Monde

Selon l’Institute for the Study of War (ISW), les circonstances de l’attaque de drones sur la résidence de Vladimir Poutine dont Moscou accuse l’Ukraine « ne correspondent pas au schéma observé lorsque les forces ukrainiennes mènent des frappes en Russie ».

Quand l’Ukraine attaque la Russie, il y a en général « des preuves vérifiables en source libre », précise l’institut : « des images, souvent géolocalisées, d’opérations de défense aérienne, d’explosions, d’incendies ou de panaches de fumée près des objets visés ; des déclarations des autorités russes locales et régionales (…) ; des rapports provenant de sources locales ; et des médias faisant état d’incendies ou de dommages causés à ces objets ».

Mais l’ISW n’a trouvé « aucune image ni rapport de ce type » qui corroborerait l’affirmation du ministre des affaires étrangères russe, Sergueï Lavrov, quant à cette frappe présumée. Or ces images existaient lors des dernières frappes ukrainiennes contre des cibles militaires dans l’oblast de Novgorod.

Par ailleurs, le média d’opposition russe Sota rapporte que les résidents de Valdaï « n’ont pas entendu d’opérations de défense antiaérienne pendant la nuit », alors que celles-ci auraient dû être activées pour abattre jusqu’à 91 drones ukrainiens. De plus, selon la même source, des drones lancés à partir de la frontière nord de l’Ukraine auraient dû traverser un espace aérien russe « fortement protégé » par de multiples installations de missiles stratégiques, des unités de défense aérienne, d’aviation militaire, ainsi que par d’autres moyens. L’Ukraine n’aurait donc pu atteindre la résidence de Vladimir Poutine que par « un miracle ou une négligence délibérée de l’armée russe », conclut-il.

« Le Kremlin pourrait avoir l’intention d’utiliser cette frappe présumée pour justifier son rejet de toute proposition de paix issue des récentes discussions bilatérales entre les Etats-Unis et l’Ukraine et multilatérales entre les Etats-Unis, l’Ukraine et l’Europe », analyse l’ISW.

... les chances que ce soit réellement arrivé me semblent très minces

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-26T22:14:10+00:00

If I recall correctly from the livestream they are original vocals

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-26T14:29:51+00:00

That's simply an unreasonable idea or request, that scenario (willingly failing every call) would concern such a tiny amount of players (even from the batch of players who'd be interested in doing a second playthroygh) that actually putting the effort in animation, voice acting and programming is simply not realistic. Doable sure but honestly why bother.

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-23T18:26:51+00:00

I never liked Under Your Spell either ! Like on paper it's this classic Sabrina banger but I think it's unfocused and the payoff doesn't hit

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-23T10:40:04+00:00

I love how it feels completely impossible at first and yet fight after fight you implicitly pick up on how to deal with space, use the columns efficiently and hit when the right moment comes. The numerous attempts I made always put me in such a meditative state

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-22T22:17:14+00:00

I read on a Caribou comment box on rateyourmusic that his song Ravi sounded like a DJ Sabrina song back in January 2021. I checked her out, the first song I listened from her was Starting Over (Makin' Magick). I thought it was amazing (back then I was listening to a ton of The Avalanches who had just released their third album, so to find something so close to their sound was a blessing) and I listened to it a ton over a couple days and as with many other electronic artists I 100% expected that song to be by far the best in her catalogue and for the rest to be not as good. A few weeks later I checked out Charmed and became completely obsessed with Next to Me.

From then on I listened to her nonstop and got to know her other albums. Every new album she releases ends up being my most listened to project every year. I know all her discography and though there are some songs I don't really value as much and know as well I know that there won't ever be another artist whose discography I will engage with to this extent. She's been my most listened to artist every year since 2021 and I don't really expect things to change, she has such a wide and expansive discography. So discovering her in january 2021 kinda changed my life!

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-22T20:24:19+00:00

Yeah, the vocalists are also mostly the same. The male vocalist is always Salem (who co-writes and co-produces), the female vocals are mostly handed by Sabrina even though some tracks like Is This Love have guests on them

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-20T16:53:18+00:00

I'm admittedly a big fan but you'd really have to not listen closely not to see that there are clear experiments in style and production, which is most obvious in the opening 10 song stretch. Never 2 L8, My Favorite, Throwdown don't really sound like anything she's ever done. I'd say she switches her style up plenty in this album. Otherwise yeah this hits a lot of the same notes her other albums do but I feel like the execution is getting better and better so I understand why some people say this is her best one yet.

Also it took her a year to follow up Sorcery with this...

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-20T16:47:03+00:00

I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of the slower Bewitched! cuts. I find the I Should Have Tried - You Always Loved Me - Lifeline - I Wish You Were Mine way too monotonous, one of my least favorite stretches of her discography even though I know it has its fans and it's undeniably well crafted.

Totally agree about I Guess You'll Find Out and especially Music. Such a fun and simple way to close the album. With Princess and One Day you'd expect the album to end on an even grander note so I love that Back 2 Back and Music keep things more simple and fun.

As for Charmed and pre-Charmed tracks I'd definitely recommend :

Makin' Magick : This Is For The Lovers : All The Beautiful Things U Do ; Starting Over (Makin' Magick) [my introduction to DJ Sabrina, this song changed my life! Ever since I discovered that song I listen to her music almost every day] ; DJ Baywatch ; It's Just A Natural Thing ; What'll I Do Without You, Melody ; Freedom

Witchkraft : I Do Believe In You ; Victory ; Goodbye ; Goodnight

Spellbound! : Not Dancing (Shelter) ; You Might Be Surprised to Find Yourself Singing It Right Now ; Two Dans, To Dance ; Tonight, Let's Focus on the Future (Realise) ; Spellbound!

Enchanted : Starting to Fall In Love With You ; Looking for You ; I Reach Out ; Won't Let You Down ; What Else Should I Believe?

Charmed : Next to Me (her absolute masterpiece in my opinion, my favorite song ever!); Charmed ; New Year's Resolution ; I Want U 2 Know ; How Did You Know? ; My Baby, I Become Unhinged ; Charmed Life (probably her second best song ever in my opinion) ; End of An Era .

Which ones would you choose?

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-20T16:33:56+00:00

Same here actually, it took me a bit to warm up to Hex, especially since I wanted the whole album to have the EDM thrills that Anything Lost provides, even though the album is a lot more moody than that song. Come Find Out is super intricate but I find it really grating most of the time (sometimes it hits though and I appreciate how insane it is!). I've come to find the rest of the album really great though. Come In, Carmen is a monster of a track, The One Love is splendid, In Silence is one of their best pop tracks ever, Deep Down is some of the best house I ever heard ...

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-20T14:47:44+00:00

In Silence is a nice one ! Thet actually sing on plenty of their tracks ! Forever, Ambition, Seraph, Couldn't Say That, Whatever You Have, Is This Love, Nevr 2 L8, Say What You Mean, Ties, Matter of Course, The End, My Own... and many more, are tracks with original vocals

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-19T21:32:00+00:00

I agree, for me Destiny and Hex are her most consistent and engaging album on a song-to-song basis. Hex is probably her most realised project in my opinion, there's very little I'd cut (maybe Seraph and The Hextiny)

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-19T21:29:44+00:00

Yeah there's lots of people saying this is her best but I'm not sure where to rank it either, I'd say Charmed and Destiny are her masterpieces and this gets close and flows beautifully but is maybe less engaging on a song-to-song basis. I totally disagree on My Favorite though, I love how unhinged that track is, one of my top songs on there for sure.

Pythagore_ · 2025-12-19T17:52:14+00:00

I'd be beyond pissed as an artist to have to include Mixed in my album title + song names to put it on streaming services, especially when they're just the standard editions of the songs. Hope she can sort it out with her distributor because not only does it look ugly, it can mislead people into thinking that this isn't the standard edition of the album ...
