It really pisses me off to read these two-bit leftists who think that just because a revolution happened in my country, that gives them the right to burn down buildings.

Fuck you, there isn’t a shred of resemblance to the revolution. No, these are just good-for-nothing sons of bitches with no future, backed by a far-left party that panders to immigrants and especially Muslims, and has been stirring up trouble for over ten years.

I’ve experienced major protests in France for 45 years, and strangely enough, it’s only when the left is involved that there’s looting, burned-out cars, trash everywhere, and so on. I’m waiting to see the day when the Manif pour tous (Christian) protest burns something other than candles.

Reading comprehension of a toddler lmao.

Yeah idk what OP is smoking, but DPS/Tank players usually know or at least have a sens on how to play tank/dps and supp. Yeah, they're not gonna be crazy good at it, but I always had DPS ready to pick up mag or the hood and try.

Supp mains on the other hand are absolutely awfull in every single other role. Cloak/IW/Jeff/Rocket players being the absolute worst of them all, cause they're just basically heal bot.

Thanks for all the downvote cloak players, kiss kiss

That's pretty... flimsy "evidence," isn't it?

The first link is from One Green Planet.. a vegan e-commerce platform with recipes for vegan food and "lifestyle activism" (their words), and on the ""articles"" they quotes themselves and cites The Mirror regarding a possible trace of a tiger cub that was allegedly sold illegally.

The other site is freaking "The Dodo", aka clickbait bs, who always oversensationalize rescues and do a ton of storytelling around fake stories, and they also have no evidence and just says that the park is doing this to make a buck (wow who could have though), and that the park supposedly handed over seven tiger cubs to a Thai park that isn’t exactly top-notch.. what kind of proof is that ?

Obviously, an orangutan isn't going to just go and give milk to predators that it instinctively tries to avoid. But to base that argument on articles from The Dodo? Thanks, but no thanks.

It's silly, but I was thinking that she hasn't had that haircut in a while.

And guess what ? That makes sense, because it’s from a fucking 2017 interview on the BBC

Putting out videos that are over 10 years old is very… flimsy, shall we say?

She wasn't the one who first brought up the "sphere of influence" either, it was the journalist.

As for the rest of her analysis, yes, she was wrong, just like 90% of politicians who didn't think they'd ever see another high-intensity war.

But aside from that, there is literally nothing "far-right" about her remarks.

Macron was taking exactly the same approach at the time, one of appeasement and communication, and continued to do so until the end of the war’s first year.

He litteraly does have a higher skill floor/ceilling than every single hitscan, bucky included, who's whole kit revolve around shooting 3 bullets and use an AoE, shoot three bullets, and hook. Thinking he's dogshit because is skill floor is low is just you saying loud and clear that you have a skill issue tbh.

Edit : Holy fuck this dude is a Luna main, do not check his comments on other post, he's the most toxic POS of this sub lmao

You’re shifting the goalposts and using a hyper-specific, 19th-century definition of "empire" to retroactively pretend medieval Europe was completely passive.

In order (hopefully) :

1. Calling the Plantagenet/Angevin realm a "local dispute" is wild. It stretched from Scotland to the Pyrenees. Extraction of wealth across the English Channel to fund wars and control distinct populations across major geographical boundaries is cross-regional power projection. If ruling multiple distinct cultures under a single crown isn't imperial behavior, the word has lost all meaning.

2. The Reconquista was not just "defensive", this is a high school textbook view. By the time Al-Andalus broke into taifas, the northern Christian kingdoms were engaged in aggressive territorial expansion, forced tribute (parias), state-sponsored colonization (repoblacion, and the systematic reallocation of conquered land. Expelling and forcibly converting hundreds of thousands of native inhabitants over centuries isn't a "local border dispute", it’sjust a plain expansionist conquest.

3. Normans weren't just "raiders" You’re ignoring the Norman states. The Vikings didn't just raid and settle, their descendants built the Kingdom of Sicily (a centralized, multi-ethnic empire ruling Greeks, Arabs, and Lombards) and conquered Anglo-Saxon England, setting up the Domesday Book, one of the most sophisticated state-taxation devices in medieval history. They also conquered part of Africa and Italy. That is institutional governance, not "raiders deciding to settle." Furthermore, my point about the Vikings wasn't imperialism per se, but the human need to expand.

4. The Levant & Baltic (Conveniently ignoring the Teutonic Order) - yu ask "where was the metropole?" to dismiss the Crusader states, completely ignoring how feudalism actually worked. Feudal imperialism doesn't require a 19th-century nation-state capital, and most often than not, didn't had one. Outremer existed to project Western European power, dominate trade routes, and extract wealth. And notice how you completely dodged the Teutonic Order? A centralized, military-monastic state that systematically conquered, colonized, converted, and ruled the Baltic lands for centuries. That is textbook settler-colonialism long before 1492 lmao

5. You're interpreting the concept of an empire in an anachronistic way. Saying pre-1492 Europe "lacked the strength for empires" only works if you define empire strictly as a post-Industrial bureaucratic state. By your logic, the Mongol Empire wasn't an empire because it lacked a centralized bureaucratic metropole early on. Imperialism is defined by core-periphery dynamics, power projection, resource extraction, and subjugating other peoples. Medieval Europe was constantly practicing all of it. The Americas weren't the start of European imperialism, they were the continuation of it on a global scale.

6. Framing Russian imperialism as "Bronze Age" while romanticizing Persia is just vibes-based history. Russification, forced population transfers, and cultural suppression are the exact same tools used by Britain in Ireland, Spain in the Americas, and France in Algeria. Brutal assimilation isn't a pre-historic anomaly, everyone did it, from the tribes of South America before 1492, to African kingdoms, Muslim empires, and European and Asian empires.. Trying to frame Russia as uniquely "prehistoric" is just ignoring how most, if not all, empires actually operated.

Just because Russia is the current adversary doesn't mean you get to rewrite history just to give yourself an extra reason to hate them. You're weaponizing historical anachronisms to fit your narrative, and frankly, it's just factually wrong.

Lmao, source : your own ass.

"European", dang even your school system is fucked.

And 40% obese*

In your own plat 3 ranked game that you posted yourself 5 days ago.

There's no shame in being in plat, gold, or even freaking bronze. But your screenshots means absolutely nothing in this elo, and being champion in plat doesn't mean you understand the character either, hard truth for this sub hence the downvote, but truth still.

Dunno why you're getting downvoted. France already stated that facial age estimation wouldn't be at play at all - and most prob id, bank or tax num.

Oh my, what a surprise! You know what else would have been surprising? If FIFA had awarded an honorary title for peace to a president, haha!

Oh no, no, I’ve got something even better: if FIFA tolerated a president refusing to allow referees into his country because of their nationality!

Oh nooo, I’ve got an even better one: a team being forced to sleep abroad before they can play their matches, forcing them to endure grueling travel before and after every game!

Oh no, wait, I’ve got an even better one ! It would’ve been incredibly surprising if FIFA had agreed to rescind a red card under pressure from a president who insinuates that the referee is corrupt, right?

Oh fuck...wait...

Feel free to add me or shut up you freaking clown : Le Grand Z

Not everyone is in your trash gold elo.

In which elo are you evolving for sprouting this nonsense? Crazy to speak like that when you're most prolly plat peak, so let me explain it to you with easy to read words.

Most KOTH have the objective set at around 60m from spawn :

• At base speed, Storm takes 10 seconds to get to the point.
• By using just the wind mode without the boost, she takes 8.6 seconds.
• By using goddess boost, she takes 7.14 seconds.

The result? By using your Goddess Boost right out of spawn, you only save a measly 1.4 seconds compared to a Storm who simply used her wind mode.

Except that other Storm arrives on the point with her Goddess Boost ready to go, unlocking massive damage potential and utility for her entire team for 8 full seconds - the whole point of Storm, a support dps, helping her team go through hardpoint, and also her own dmg and ult with chain.

Meanwhile, you show up to the fight with your spell unavailable.

Congratulations, you traded 1.4 seconds of walking for hundreds of free collective damage during the opening teamfight, you idiot.

Oh and btw, i'm a Champion storm in Celestial. Feel free to add me : Le Grand Z i'm sure you have a lot of thing to teach me :)

Edit : Nah I can't you said that a "good storm know to ban Iron Fist" lmfao.

Edit 2 : "A lord storm doesn't stay in dmg boost"

Nah I though you were trolling at first, but you litteraly have not a single idea on how the character is played.

Gold ass peak trying to be assertive on a character he doesn't understand zzz

Cheated in Ow, will continue to cheat in every single game he plays, but hey, kiddos like him for some reason.

And the shield slow, she can push you out/bring you close to it to slow you down, she can dance around it, she can block ult with the press of a button, she can ground in an AoE.. Cloak is the most braindead of the two, but Invisible is clearly the most busted. Her kit has almost everything.

When you compare it to support that actually requires skills, it's impressive to see how much a supp can have in his base kit..

Of course, history has consistently shown that companies with monopolies remain stable over the long term !

SpaceX had a monopoly. That hasn’t been the case for years. Eutelsat has contracts with most European militaries. The European Union also launched IRIS2 some time ago.

As for launches, ArianeGroup is currently testing rocket reusability, and it will likely take a year or two before reusable rockets are widely available for cheaper.

Maiaspace has autonomous, reusable mini-launchers.

The Exploration Company has developed reusable capsules to resupply space stations.

Rocket Factory is building very, very, very inexpensive mini-launchers (though non-reusable).

As things stand, SpaceX has PLENTY of competitors, who are at most two or three years behind. Does that justify valuing the company at this price? No. Even at 300 billion, there is literally no revenue or prospect of significant growth in their cash flow to justify it.

What's more, SpaceX's justification for valuing itself at $1 trillion is that its potential market is $28 trillion. Yes, that's right - the GDP of the entire United States.

And the funniest part? Of that astronomical sum, Grok and Xai are said to account for 93% of the revenue! Yes, yes - space, SpaceX itself, has no economic value; they want to bet everything on an AI that isn’t even in the top 3 of LLMs, claiming they’re going to install… servers in space.

Not realizing that SpaceX is a way to siphon off as much money as possible from gullible people and 401k with fundamentals that are completely shot is really living in a bubble.

There is a difference between making prostitution itself illegal and making the activities surrounding prostitution illegal. In France, for example, prostitution is tolerated as long as the sex worker does not solicit customers on the street. However, as a client, you risk a fine... so it's "legal" but you have to hide it.

Yes, it is retarded.

Bwhahaha okay dude r/shitamericanssay

We both show you that you simply dont understand basic first grade statistics and yet you dig a hole deeper and deeper... How your school system failed you is crazy. Room Temp IQ, as usual.

Tell us you went to a tourist-trap brasserie in Châtelet without telling us. If you’re paying €300 a head and the bathroom smells like a metro station, you didn't go to a "fine restaurant," you went to a tourist trap.

AC and ventilation is in absolutely every single restaurant in Paris, from freaking Mc Donald's to Le Cheval Blanc.

But hey, that's just the average brain-dead take from a mountain of American lard who thinks human lives are disposable as long as they’re "black people shooting each other in the ghetto".

Keep projecting your third-world country's failures onto our bathrooms, racist pig.

The accuracy is pretty crazy, does anyone know which system do they use for that ?

Not only it doesn't cost much, but it's also way, wayyyy less space than every single so called "green" energy. For the same production of electricity, solar and wind have huge waste that are buried aswell.

And laying down your weapons won't guarantee your safety either.

When possible, yes, Ukraine prefers to take prisoners, but you have no idea where this video was filmed. It could be 1 km from the front line, or 5, 10, or 20 km. Even if it’s just 5 km away, the Ukrainian army isn’t going to take the risk (at least, very rarely) of sending another drone to bring the prisoner back to their side.

It’s a waste of time most of the time, using multiple drones (rarely enough battery for a round trip) and it’s also an excellent way for the Russians to pinpoint exactly where the UA soldiers are.

Holy fuck you're truely retarded.

The USA doesn't contradict itself. They never said uyghurs was propaganda. Litteraly the opposite. You still can't read WHY I LINKED AN OFFICIAL WEBSITE you freaking room temp IQ kid. I litteraly explained it, i should have used simpler words. You should stick to code, critical thinking isn't your thing, it requires reading abilities and culture.

Crazy ass to call multiple associations that track human right violation unreliable and "not the evidence you think it is".

American are truely the most braindead people.

Second link isn't allegdly either.

"It has become a pattern and a system. We have cases where miners are abused, beaten and discriminated against by Chinese miners. Locals in some Chinese-owned mines often operate dangerous, harsh and life-threatening conditions, while being paid poorly,"

So basically, not only did you not read any of the links, but you made up some nonsense about them to pretend you had some semblance of understanding, when you don't have any at all as I mentioned earlier.

Reading isn't hard, trust me. Educating yourself isn't either.

You're just shifting the goalposts. I couldn't care less about a pointless comparison between American wars and Chinese neo-colonialism.

But to come at me claiming it's propaganda or baseless claims, when there are thousands of articles on the subject, really just shows your total incompetence and lack of understanding of the issue.

I never compared the two; I pointed out that claiming China is more mature than the United States is bullshit.

By the way, you mention the thousands of deaths in Gaza - no problem. Let's talk about the Chinese genocide of the Uyghurs, with at the very least 1 million of them being in prison and lack of numbers on how many died in them.

Or maybe you wanna talk about how China is more mature than the USA in Tibet, for the last 75 years, replacing locals by Chinese people, raping, killing and putting into prison locals ?

Or maybe you wanna talk about Hong Kong and how China put in prison every single head protesters and put 10 000 people in prison ?

Or maybe you wanna talk about China offering weapon to Myanmar ? Or Sudan ?

Holy freaking fuck.
