Touché

I don’t know, I might intellectually understand that morals are relative to a culture and that even our concept of universal human rights is an heritage of our colonial past and, on some level, trying to push our own values as the only morality that can exist. On a gut level though, I am entirely unable to consider that LGBT rights, gender equality or non-discrimination aren’t inherently moral.

I don’t think holding these two beliefs is weird, it’s a natural contradiction worth debating and that’s what I would expect from an ethics teacher

I think you can call her the fediverse chick

What’s even funnier is that the MEP in question was (probably falsely) accused of being paid by the CIA to be a pro-american mole in the French Left last year

Wine and champagne? Bernard Arnault must be glad he supported Trump

What’s a chicken biscuit though?

I’ve never seen anyone cutting ham this way either

I finally got it too, I was almost getting a bit offended to be the only one not considered a valuable mark

France says hi

Alright I’ll do it

One of the consultates they’re planning on closing in France is the one in Strasburg. You know, the second seat of the EU parliament after Brussels

At this point burning cars is just as much part of french culture as the baguette

I think that’s part of the feeling of injustice and betrayal. Europeans put up with all US shit for decades because hey, they’re imperialist that only act in their own interest but at least they’re somewhat tactful about it. They made the entire world revolve around them, but at least they pretended we were on the same side so we didn’t protest too loudly.

And now they’re suddenly acting like they’re the fucking victim of this system they created themselves to benefit them? That basically broke the illusion the West reluctantly chose to believe in, and all that remains is the bad and the ugly

Saying Paris is an “immigration nightmare” tells us more about yourself than the state of France. And I’m saying this as someone actually living there

I wonder what’s the point of these hyperbolic articles everytime Trump gets slightly rebuked by someone. Best case scenario we all get a giggle out of it and move on, worst case scenario the world’s oldest baby throws a tantrum and starts a war with France over his bruised ego

Femboys are you doing today I hope you have a great day

C’mon, une machine a laver is obviously a girl! Unless you call it a lave-linge instead, in which case it’s a boy.

Might be hard to believe, but Buzzfeed News (the now-extinct “serious” branch of Buzzfeed) used to have genuinely good reporters that wrote award-winning articles

The amount of processing power that would be needed to listen the output of billions of devices 24/7 just to push ads wouldn’t make economic sense.

Not an American, but I can totally relate with that. Some politicians in my country have taken a page from Trump’s playbook since 2016 and have started telling blatant lies on TV, the kind that are supposed to be easily refuted by any one with half a brain, and not getting any serious pushback. It took me a long time to get past the “Wait, they can’t do that, that’s not how it works!” phase
