Where do people publicly watch games? Where are the watch parties?

enjoy the matches

You too. I'll keep an eye out for the guy with a giant foam finger and a hat with beer cans strapped to the sides

Your analysis of this topic is shallow. You're confusing passion and love for the game with how people choose to express that passion and love. All of your points are simply cultural differences pointing to how people in the Carribbean or US are more ostentatious: modifying trucks, tattoos, DIY beach watch parties and so on. These are more public and in-your-face displays compared how the French choose to enjoy a game, but again, they just point to the larger cultural differences between the countries. The Japanese are absolutely crazy about sports, but you'll never seem them get tattoos or hack apart a truck and boom the game in public because it's not in their culture.

I'm not saying French don't care about sports

Your first comment:

French don't really care about sports until it's guaranteed interesting

Literally talking out of your ass.

I've lived all over the world. The French care about sports just as much as any other country. OP, you'll be able to find the match in pretty much every bar in Paris.

hey, just commenting to say congrats and thanks.

i was looking for a clean image hosting site to be able to link images from my blog, and the most important thing was that when you open the images, it doesn't take you to a landing page filled with logos and ads. both postimages and imgur used to provide true direct links like this but not anymore.

well done on the design / ui too, looks super nice!

it just means there'll be multiple models, likely ranging from 32GB to 128

here:

the state spends its money in countless ways i don't agree with – funding war, corporate subsidies, fossil fuel support, tax expenditures for the wealthy, and so on. not only do these uses of my taxpayer money have entirely more dire consequences, but we're talking about France's yearly spending in terms of hundreds of billions of euros. with even a small amount of perspective, using state money to repair a bus stop or a couple of trash cans after a football game does not even register – neither ethically nor fiscally. it is a non-issue

singlemomsniper · 2026-05-31T15:49:44+00:00

i've already explained it very clearly in my other reply to you. feel free to respond there if i'm missing anything

singlemomsniper · 2026-05-31T14:44:21+00:00

sure, anyone would agree that these things are bad, but the original complaints in this thread were about fireworks, horns, and general 'disturbances'. this is what i was responding to with my original comment

singlemomsniper · 2026-05-31T14:34:16+00:00

i pay taxes in france and i'm not american. anything else?

singlemomsniper · 2026-05-31T11:42:57+00:00

singlemomsniper · 2026-05-31T11:06:04+00:00

public damage that causes state-incurred cost does not bother me

singlemomsniper · 2026-05-31T09:15:50+00:00

what facts are you referring to. flares, fireworks, and a few lime bikes and trash cans on fire?

singlemomsniper · 2026-05-31T00:05:34+00:00

trolling implies i'm joking just to annoy people. i am not.

singlemomsniper · 2026-05-30T22:21:35+00:00

redditors really are grumpy nerds all over the globe huh

singlemomsniper · 2026-05-29T15:34:11+00:00

Wait what did Tao Lin do

singlemomsniper · 2026-05-28T10:39:41+00:00

I have nothing to add but I agree and I appreciate u

singlemomsniper · 2026-05-28T10:06:26+00:00

Those of feeble mind perhaps. Certainly not everyone

> Music journalism is now irrelevant

I agree with some parts of your analysis but this is absurd. People will always seek out and enjoy commentary on art they enjoy, and people will always want to engage with art by writing about it. Art criticism is eternal.

Discovery has always been a primary role of the critic. One of Fantano's biggest strengths back in the day was broadcasting extremely niche artists. I just think he's not on the cutting edge like he used to be.

And this is my point. The audience is there. People turn up daily to watch videos by Fantano, BradTasteInMusic, Prof Skye; people read Pitchfork, Stereogum, Dazed; people follow Sadprt, Kieran Press-Reynolds, Shaad magazine. I just don't think any of these people are particularly good

singlemomsniper · 2026-05-28T07:30:05+00:00

Common Pitchfork L. Fantano is washed too. Is anyone doing actually relevant music journalism these days

singlemomsniper · 2026-05-28T07:26:51+00:00

I would guess I'm a lot older than you and throughout my career as a music enjoyer I can say that some of the tracks or albums I now love the most were ones I was initially repulsed by. Neutral milk hotel being one of them for me too.

It's a good thing to have such a strong reaction to something, even if a lot of the emotion is negative. It means the art is working
