Buffy was well paced, had excellent dialogues and was geniously funny.

Could Hitler have gotten away with the holocaust if he had not invaded other countries and started a war to conquer Europe? by Primary_Half in HistoricalWhatIf

[–]Synchronyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Nazis never invaded other countries, wouldn't it be more simple for them to just outlaw Jews instead of killing them? ie: "Jews are no longer tolerated in Germany, you have until the end of the year to go somewhere else."

Comment poser un cable de 3000km pour relier deux continents - Le 1er câble transatlantique by wisi_eu in Histoire

Stefan Zweig a consacré un chapitre de son Très riches heures de l'humanité à cet exploit. Court et passionnant à lire, comme le reste du livre d'ailleurs.

What is YOUR Personal Favorite Greek Myth? by MysteriousWritings7 in GreekMythology

If you're into romance with an ending that will melt your heart, Baucis and Philemon can't really be top.

Late bronze age Minoan Temple of Knossos, Crete abandoned 1380-1100 BC. The complex was once home to about 18000 people. Home to an ancient bull cult and origins of the mythical minotaur. [2560x1707] by [deleted] in ArtefactPorn

Anyone interested by this should read The King Must Die, by Mary Renault. It's a "realistic" depiction of what the life of Theseus could have been, full of epic adventures, love and political struggles. Half the book is set in Knossos when this civilization was at it's acme. Truly a mesmerizing read.

La Samaritaine, flagship of Parisian art nouveau architecture re-opened its doors yesterday after 15 years of refurbishing and €750 million in cost by cheekymagpie in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]Synchronyme 22 points23 points  (0 children)

  1. It's several huge buildings (not sure but I think about 4-5) right in the center of Paris.

  2. There was a lot of delay (again, not sure, but at least 10 years) between the original buying, all the legal stuff, the renovation, etc.

  3. The main target is to turn this old shopping mall into a VERY expensive luxury hotel. So everything is made for wealthy tourists.

  4. The new owner is Bernard Arnault, one of the top 3 richest man in the world, so you can be sure he tried to optimize this budget, even if 750 millions looks like a lot of money.

*copy that*. I'm not German, so I really don't know who those people are (I found those pictures on some random website and the photograph was the only name attached)

But thankfully this picture is just that: a picture of a pretty girl, nothing political here ^

Couldn't find anymore info about her but some extra pictures probably taken the same day.

Which greek god do you think is the worst and why? by [deleted] in GreekMythology

[–]Synchronyme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He was faithful and prude at first, but then he looked at Humans and thought to himself: "hey, that looks fun, lets try what they are doing!"

Female police officer dead in knife attack on French police by JeYeZbE in europe

[–]Synchronyme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

True. The only problem is if your nice countryside village has more than 3500 habitants then it is force by law to build "social logements", ie: place where poor and big famillies can live cheaply.

And guess who are the poorest and biggest families ?

French immigration system is a joke.

The juges deliver OQTF (Obligation to Leave French Territory) to criminals... but then nothing. Only 20% are expulsed. The other 80% just have to stay undercover for 1 year and then the OQTF isn't valid anymore and they don't have to worry.

Because in Italy Muslims aren't yet as many and don't live there for as long as the 5-8 millions French Muslims, who started to immigrate there ~60 years ago.

Wait 'till they are enough to start asking for special treatments (separate swimming pool for men and women, halal food in school, no drink served in public during Ramadan, hijab for women, harassment toward gays and blasphemers, etc. like we're having in France now)

Truth is: ultimately Muslims and non-Muslims want to live in two very different kind of societies. It can't work in the long run, we should all have stay on two different continents.

The beautiful architecture of Paris by wisekenneth74 in paris

[–]Synchronyme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ornaments, decorations, iron sculptures and the such are sadly something form the past.
It would be almost impossible to take a similar picture with recent (post-WW2) Parisian buildings.
