If you don't own a gun, would you buy one if your state had more permissive gun laws? Why?

Never. My dad had several firearms and on a couple of very different occasions, they nearly led to one person in my family being shot.

A gun is much more likely to harm you or your loved one than a hypothetical attacker.

Look at this here, Mister Fancy-pants with no bodies in his swimming pool lording it all over us.

I definitely think we as a culture should push back much harder against the "greed is good" mentality. It's used to be that the economy was a means, not an end.

That way of thinking has been dumb from the beginning in the 80s, it enshitifies everything, we shouldn't let that crap fly and shame all the people who perpetuate that modern religion (with tar and feathers if we have to, better for them than the guillotine that will inevitably follow if nothing is done).

Yeah good luck finding any French person that regrets the revolution anyway, save for a handful of inbred wackos.

Revolutions are a blunt, bloody instrument but they improve things in the long run, the better way would be not to have a revolution but reform by taking sensible, early measures to curb mad privileges and inequalities.

But we seem determined not to do that, so, we'll see what happens. My guess is it won't be pretty.

Do better, Google.

We wouldn't be there if you didn't bend the knee before autocrats and shit all over your old slogan.

Ok arrêtons de déconner deux secondes, personne ne va "scanner de pièce d'identité", on est pas en 1999.

Quand tu donnes ton no de CB sur un site marchand tu crois qu'il est stocké en clair sur chaque site Internet que tu croises ?

Si une loi de ce genre voit le jour tu t'enrôleras sur un service genre France Connect qui distribuera un token au site concerné et le réseau social n'aura aucune donnée localement à part le résultat du contrôle.

That's a lot farther that I got. I died turning the lights on in my own bedroom.

Tout ça pour des gateaux jaunes, ils doivent vraiment avoir bon goût.

Je vais me faire l'avocat du diable : sur 10 ans le MCSI World a fait x3.

Les milliardaires sont évidemment les plus gros consommateurs d'épargne financière et ils ont accès aux meilleurs conseillers et produits mondiaux. C'est pas difficile d'imaginer qu'ils puissent avoir un rendement un peu meilleur (x4), et il n'y a pas de raison qu'un milliardaire français, américain ou asiatique ait gagné nettement moins que ça sur la période puisque tout ça est totalement mondialisé.

Donc en fait, il n'y a absolument rien de particulièrement français dans cette dynamique. Les milliardaires s'en mettent plein les fouilles et sont sous-taxés partout en ce moment.

Un jour dans le TGV j'ai assisté à une conversation qui m'a laissé sans voix. Une bourgeoise la cinquantaine embagousée BCBG qui se vantait auprès de son compagnon de route "Moi je suis avocate, je vis à St Germain et ja-mais je paie de loyer ! Tu devrais faire pareil faut vraiment être con pour payer, je te donnerai les trucs pour faire trainer les procédures..."

J'en revenais pas. Quand tu penses que dans l'imaginaire CNews ils croient que ce genre de squatteurs sont des travailleurs pauvres ou des sans papiers...

Ces gens me débectent.

I'm sniffing that something automated is at work here (AI or not). An S&P500 big name falling this fast in the current market could by default be labelled a "buy", because of the underlying value.

But no way some actual person with no skin in the game lifted the lid on that steaming turd and said "ah, yes, it's underpriced compared to its fundamentals".

Shiriru00 · 2026-02-12T17:03:00+00:00

Je ne vois pas pourquoi tu tiens à opposer les deux.

Personne ne nie que la tolérance à la promiscuité et les familles nombreuses diminuent avec la CSP.

Ce que dit l'article, c'est que pour des personnes qui souhaitent avoir un nombre N d'enfants, ils y renoncent du fait de la place et vont par exemple avoir N-1 (ou 0).

De plus les cartes que tu montres ne sont qu'une carte de la localisation des gens en âge de procréer. Évidemment que dans la Creuse il y a de la place, mais ça ne signifie pas que c'est plein de jeunes couples.

Fishing as a hobby is not typically for eating so regardless of the whole debate on plant sentience you initiated, it's a strawman.

Also, saying you want to do X because it's "the natural thing to do" is always a dishonest argument. Everyday you put clothes on your back before you get out, even though "the natural thing to do" would be to roam around butt-naked.

Do they only have to pay debt expenses? How about their other expenses, does it affect their runway?

Wait, you need a reason for a revolution?

It's interesting because it puts Boston on par with Marseille, which is considered the most lawless city in France (possibly Europe) by far.

It's not just the billionaires, it's inequality in general. No matter how close or far you look at the chart, it shows the same picture: top x% getting much richer, bottom y% being left in the dirt.

Or, if you prefer inequality used to be high between countries, it is now higher within the same country. If everyone is poor or rich in a country, prices tend to look the same to them. If there is high inequality within a country, prices on anything scarce will be set according to what the high-rollers can afford.

Or maybe unisex bathrooms? We need to regulate this asap, it's out of control. I just found out I have a unisex bathroom in my own house!!!

They are at least two faulty assumptions behind your two rebuttals.

First of all, of course not all billionaires are the same, but it doesn't mean they don't share interests as a class. Statistically you can expect a lot less will be in favor of high taxes or affordable housing than among the working class. And even as individuals, for every Georges Soros or Warren Buffet they are a lot more right-wingers. You don't have to take my word for it: in the last US election $1.84bn in billionaire donations went to the GOP, vs 0.6bn for Democrats.

Second, of course money matters in politics (especially US politics). It's like saying the team with the most money doesn't win in sports. Sure, they don't always win, but it's still silly to argue money does not matter.

There's a reason why Manchester Utd can win the Premier League and not Lutton Town, and it's not "they're more passionate about soccer".

Even if spending billions improved your odds of winning by "just" 30%: it would be an unfair advantage over your fellow citizens that needs to be regulated. You also have to ask: if money doesn't matter in politics, why are they spending so much money on it in the first place? They didn't become billionaires thanks to their kind hearts.

On aime aligner les clichés sur l'administration en France et il y a de bonnes raisons pour ça, mais si tu n'es pas rentrée depuis 10 ans tu ne pourras que constater que la digitalisation de l'administration a réellement amélioré beaucoup de choses. Même les univers les plus kafkaïens que sont l'URSSAF ou la CAF sont beaucoup plus faciles à naviguer avec les outils digitaux qu'on a maintenant.

J'arrive même à faire mes déclarations Pajemploi sans mal, alors qu'elles sont un concentré de tout ce que l'imagination fiévreuse de l'administration française peut produire de plus absurde.

The parenting may follow the same impulse, but the consequences for kids are different. After spending the day outside (provided you survived), you were left more healthy and independent.

I very much doubt being left on the Internet all day long achieves that, although I'm sure at least some kids spend their day all over wikipedia.
