biting the fart bubbles in the bathtub
Paris is really easy to get around without a car. Once I learned which gates didn’t work with Navigo anyway… lol
The only time in a week I needed a taxi in Paris was when my clinically silly kid was going to make us late for a dinner reservation.
I see people who are showing concern borne of experience, and with marked consensus. If you’re confident they’re wrong about your situation, it still may be worth reflecting on what they’ve learned and to limit your ambitions - or at least, consider building things on a more conservative timeline than you were imagining. Have big dreams, but start with biting off an amount you can certainly chew.

Putin’s paranoia about the colour revolutions led to retaliatory hybrid war so effective that the only way for social democracy to survive is the very thing that he feared - regime change.
We have middle sibling energy at best
Regime change is necessary if the free world is to survive
I’m not sure how to interpret your counterpoint. Can you clarify? It’s an unprofitable business model unless people pay and don’t use it?
Yep. Racists are weak in ways that aren’t talked about enough. Racism is a tear in the social fabric itself.
I just love how specific that moment is, where you could bill your story as being “beyond all imagination” and it’s literally a fight between an evil monster and a heroic king.
Called it, huge omissions likely remain
The Iron Giant, Wall-E, Her, Blade Runner, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Metropolis (2001), Astro Boy. Probably forgetting some really good examples though
I liked it, but I’m a sucker for “robot wanna be a real boy” type stories
I sent three faxes today 😎
“No, we don’t like that. We insist that you do not.”
“Art of ze deal, non?”
A quick word to anyone seeing this and thinking “oh that’s fine”, look into the Snowtown Massacres". That’s what it looks like when this kind of thing actually happens. Life isn’t a Tarantino film, those who accomplish their aims violently are generally very dumb.
Aaahaha heh hmm ahem err yes
Stupid or not, that’s the playbook to watch for. Don’t give Russia an inch on article 5, or they’ll use it to undermine the whole alliance.
People who follow this subject have been talking about it as a crisis before the invasion even began. Now it’s being described as “demographic collapse”. They have remarkably low birth rates, an ageing population, xenophobia issues, and few friendly nations from which to borrow workers. I saw one headline that they’ve begun trying to bribe young ladies to have children. I believe I’ve seen Putin on record saying he sees demographics as one of his biggest issues, but his policies belie a more cynical stance. It is likely that Russia will continue to decline throughout the century, and in geopolitical terms they are positioned to eventually become a client state of some sort, likelier than not beholden to China.
I wish I’d noted which station… I think it must have been La Défense, where the exit to the tram has a gate that doesn’t read that pass, and you actually need to take a series of two other gates to get out that way.
I was pretty distracted with aforementioned clinically silly one though, so that one’s on me. Overall the whole system works very well from my experience.
