Actually, the younger you fuck up, the worse are the consequences. A 13 year old go in a school fight, he is kicked out of school, has to go in another school further away, sleep less, see his grade fall down, and next year he'll be pushed to start an apprenticeship rather than high school.

A 31 one year old (otherwise a good citizen) does the same. He'll spend a night in police custody and at worst pays a fine (with a high probability that change are dropped because judges and prosecutor are busy)

Fart ring is a great but fun one

Eclipse phase has a pretty cool reputation economy. You don't use money but network and reputation to get things (mostly info and access to fablab, it's a post abundance economic)

Aren't you staying dead for millenia until the second comming and the judgement day ? To my understanding the reason why Christian burry their dead rather than burning them is that they need to resurrect on jugement day

In theory, An expat is someone sent abroad on short/mid-term mission while working for an employer, while a migrant is someone moving abroad to find a job and sometimes to start a new life.

This means that, if let's say if a Mining company in Ghana sends someone to New-York to be the "US sales director" that person would be an an expat While an American opening an hotel in Ghana would be an immigrant.

But indeed, in many cases : Expat = European/North-American, Immigrant = From somewhere else

Ghislaine Morvan-Dubois dénonce aussi « une campagne très virulente de mouvements d'extrême droite qui essayent de faire en sorte que cette loi ne passe pas avant la rentrée », comme l’association des « Parents vigilants » lancée par Éric Zemmour. Pourtant, celle qui a pu participer aux discussions sur le programme explique qu’il y a eu « un gros travail de consultation » mené avec beaucoup « de précautions et de professionnalisme, ce qui fait que le programme est aujourd’hui plutôt bien accepté ». Pour le docteur Alibert, les contestations autour du programme de l’EVARS viennent de familles « où il y a encore de l’homophobie » ou de familles très religieuses.

C'était pas en Belgique où ils ont carrément brulé des écoles ?

Darmanin tombe le masque

Rare voix hors du champ de l’extrême droite à se prononcer, Gérald Darmanin a quant à lui estimé que « combattre Mme Le Pen se fait dans les urnes, pas ailleurs ». « Si le tribunal juge qu’elle doit être condamnée, elle ne peut l’être électoralement, sans l’expression du peuple », a-t-il déclaré sur X, en appelant à ne pas « creuser » plus « la différence entre les “élites” et l’immense majorité de nos concitoyens ».

Rappelons que l’inéligibilité des élus en cas de condamnation a été votée dès 1994. La loi prévoyant de punir le détournement de fonds publics d’une peine d’inéligibilité obligatoire figure dans l’article 131-26-2 du code pénal,

Most of the rich cannot just move to a tax haven. Sure someone who inherited multi-generational wealth can hide it in the Caiman island.

But if you own a canned tomato factory, or even if you're a business consultant, you get rich because of very local things, and can't easily move-it away.

At the speed at which government push back the retirement age, I expect something like 70 with 47 worked years by the time I'll be old enough.

I have an interesting job, mostly in an office, some savings, so I may be able to do otherwise. But yhea, I don't count that much on retirement

While there is tons of nice place/stuff to do in Paris, many people see it as a perfect, romantic, ideal whatever city, and a visit there the trip of a lifetime.

Paris is a 10 million inhabitants urban area with all the associated problems,

Imagine thinking you're in the perfect city and being stuck in a crowded train, then in traffic, and falling in any possible tourist traps, from the barely legal but legal low quality, high price restaurant to the pickpocketsand other petty crime

While I love the theoretical idea of direct democracy, the EU is supposed to address high level issue with generic directive.

So complex laws on complex topics. Do you know the details of directives like reach? (and typical lemmy audience has more chance to understand REACH over finance) Do you know the details about every chemical substance allowed/banned? Even good faith politicians end up believing lobbyists, imagine a regural person without a team of assistant

Direct democracy is great, but the EU is a too generic level for it to work
