Even without considering cheese villages (somebody mentioned Roquefort, I was thinking of Gruyere, France clocking in at about 100 inhabitants), I believe Verdun would be just as known and is smaller at a population of around 17000.

Sorry for only answering now, I don’t check Lemmy super often, here you go: la depeche, le monde

Just fyi, the hand being cut off is fake news, and none of the victims have their life in danger

Écoute, si pour toi un couvent, lieu privé, et une équipe de sport nationale, c’est la même chose, je pense qu’en terme de raconter n’importe quoi, j’ai encore du chemin à faire. Tu ne sembles pas vouloir discuter donc je te propose d’en rester là, bonne journée à toi et bon courage dans tes combats

Encore une fois, je ne défend ni cette contrainte vestimentaire, ni les gens qui la défendent, et encore moins l’appareil médiatique qui cherche à créer ces conflits.

Un couvent, c’est un lieu privé, ça n’est évidemment pas l’équivalent d’une équipe de sport nationale, je comprends pas que tu essayes de faire passer ça pour la même situation. Ce serait l’équivalent de vouloir interdire aux gens de porter des hijab chez eux, à priori c’est pas ça dont on parle si ?

Ok, et quel est le rapport avec la tenue vestimentaire de la sélection olympique ? Je ne pense pas avoir vu qui que ce soit défendre les cathos dans cette discussion, ou n’importe quelle autre religion d’ailleurs

Ok, mais encore une fois, c’est quoi le rapport avec la tenue vestimentaire de la sélection olympique ? Je ne crois pas que qui que ce soit défende le catholicisme (ou tout autre religion) dans ce fil de discussion

C’est quoi le rapport avec les nonnes dans un couvent ?

Perso je pense pas qu’il y ait besoin de contraintes vestimentaires pour la sélection olympique nationale, ils ne sont pas représentants de l’État, mais faut pas raconter n’importe quoi non plus

Not you again!

I’m sure your boss/manager would proactively increase your wage relatively to the extra work you asked for

Is archery not a sport then? Or say, golf?

Good thing there was almost nothing built specifically for these Olympics. Plenty of concerns and problems, but at least that one isn’t on the list.

He didn’t divinely guide their hand, but he certainly pushed a certain narrative, painting the left as an even worse alternative.

Correct, no comma before the last element if it is preceded by a conjunction (e.g. “et”, that is “and” in English) in French

Not that I particularly care to defend the french government, but there was 3 referendums, with voting restrictions in favor of the kanak, as per an agreement between the government and the kanaks. The first 2 went against independence and the kanaks decided to boycott the third (the polling was going against independence, again)

Does that mean all is fine and dandy? Obviously not, but I don’t think the story is as one sided as “classic french colonialism”

It’s not magic, but it has advantages that are hard to beat in terms of resource usage. Renewables also have advantages, but you can’t handwave away their own problems and limitations anymore than you can do so for nuclear energy.

Yeah I’m aware legislation can vary a lot between states, I suppose I’m more talking about what one might call a minimum federal standard? To take an example, legal drinking age is technically free to be set by states, but the federal government will stop paying for highways if it’s below 21, or something along these lines.

I seem to have misread the license part as an additional requirement rather than an optional one with the criminal record, thanks for the correction

I’m no swiss law expert, but that’s not what wikipedia says regarding buying ammunition. And even what you describe is already more than what is needed in the USA isn’t it?

In Switzerland’s case, most of these “military guns” are not kept with ammo, so it’s not like Timmy can go on a shooting spree with a glorified pipe section. There’s also an actual license system for buying and owning weapons and ammo.

I always wonder why especially liberal/left-leaning people (not implying/saying you are one) are so opposed to private gun ownership

Well, there’s a pretty good example of why virtually unrestricted gun ownership is a bad idea in the USA. Are poverty, healthcare the bigger issues? Of course. That doesn’t mean you should compound them by making it easy for people to act with deadly force at the tip of their finger on impulse. Have a proper license system, make gun safes mandatory, don’t give licenses without good reasons (self defense isn’t one in 99.99% of cases), control ammunition sale.
