I totally agree with you on that we should spend money on saving our perfectly fine and gorgeous planet instead of chasing useless dreams.

But I’ve seen a video of Kurzgesagt explaining how “easy” it would be to terraform Venus compared to Mars. And since then I’ve been a defender of the idea that we should focus on Venus rather than Mars.

Terrifying Fact: before Venus became the Hell it is today it was exactly like Earth. But at some point its average temperature reached 23°C. Water vapor being a greenhouse gas and a fantastic heat capacitor, it transformed the planet into a pressure cooker, leading to its current state

The average temperature of planet Earth is 13°C, but with all the CO2 in the atmosphere we don’t know when that critical temperature could be reached.

But hey, billionaires gotta get their billions, right?

It depends on the war we are talking about I guess?

The only war I would participate without question would be if my country (EU) was invaded.

Absolute based in any other scenario.

Hi there, European dude here

Can someone nourish my anxiety with a quick summarization of what happened here? Looks like Biden was “a little” off?

EDIT: Nevermind, I read USA Today recap… Fuck…

Always been super impressed by the size of Americans feet. 30cm, that’s crazy.

Not related but Zipf law is kind of crazy too

Apple could start by stopping taking Europeans for fools and claiming that the DMA prevents them from publishing Apple Intelligence in Europe.

I’ve been an happy Apple exclusive customer since 2008. But if they play it that way I won’t follow. I give them one year to put their shit together. After that I’m done with the brand.

Long live Europe

This is the way

Where can I get this?

The subtitle made me laugh so much. Thanks OP

I knew it! Microsoft has been using IA the whole time! Look at this drawings, it’s proof!

As a French dude, Pain with a delicious slice of matured cheddar is Life. Mais la râpure c’est quand même pas très très bon… (sorry)

Education is almost free in France. But your school is assigned based on the location you live. So poor people go to school with poor people, and best teachers go to best schools, which are rarely in poor areas.

When I was younger we’ve had one the best schools in the world, and teachers were still invested with the “Égalité” part of our national motto. Then conservative governments proceeded to destroy our education system, and here we are.

No, we’re not. But thanks for asking.

The worst is that a lot of brown people voted for them. Because they managed to shift their image into something more acceptable just by not being overtly racist. Brown people have some hate to give too. Hate toward queer people, feminists and muslims has no color.

There were 38 parties participating the EU elections. That doesn’t work either.

Our election system is based on a 2 rounds election. First you vote for your first choice. The first two get to the second round and we elect the one we prefer between the two.

When the system works it’s fine, but it can also be dangerous. Our left shattered because of that. So the parties are making alliances before the first round of elections to have a chance of being in the government.

In France we also have an History of voting against the far right. A good bunch of conservative Presidents were elected because the left helped them. This what we call “Vote républicain”, meaning “Vote to save the Republic against a fascist party”.

The conservatives making an alliance with the far right is most insulting action they could have taken. But TBH their party is dead now. They’ve been doing less than 10% in every major elections since the last 10 years.

Someone gotta hack the prompters and put a bunch of 4 syllables words in his speech. I heard he struggles with those.

Thanks for the hopeful message.

I have no doubt the French far-right would fail miserably like every other EU far-right government, and I wouldn’t bother too much in other circumstances but those suckers are Putin’s friends and the last thing I want to see happening is the end of Ukraine’s support.

Macron just dismissed the government, and we’re up for new elections in two weeks. There’s a good chance that for the first time in the French Republic History we don’t have a single leftist voice at the government.

We are famous for our protests indeed, but with a far-right government cops will just feel allowed to do their worst, and we might reach chaotic levels of violence.

Anyway, thanks again for your message. We’re not there yet and I need to blow off some steam.

Unfortunately it’s the opposite here in France and I’m devastated.

Congratulations to the Finns!!!
