Obedience.
Neighboring countries used to kowtow before the emperor.
The communist party may have replaced the monarchy but they had no issue with the imperialism.

He caused death and suffering on a scale the world rarely saw.

But it was not genocide he never tried to delete a particular ethnic or cultural group.

Genocide doesn't mean super bad, it's a particular flavour of bad.

><I saw some Chinese posts asking how the french would feel about calling napoleon a dictator.

He killed our first republic and threw us in war all over Europe.
He was a dictator and was planning to recreate the monarchy.

I'll give him the civil code but he can get fucked

They feel everyone should kowtow to them.
And it's not like there is a lot of resistance.

Exactly.
People think it shows weakness to throw a tantrum but no footballer is talking about China ever again.

And they're also probably having a bit of fun too. They have Mbappe twerking, real twerking and la Liga twerking.
Why not keep it going and see who will go next?

It is indeed.

I'm surprised someone recognised it

My nickname for Ted Cruz is The Zodiac Killer

One third of the movie was nostalgia, one third was the director being cheeky about sequels and studios not understanding art, and the last third was terrible new shit.

The second part is what killed her career.

You need 3 if you want to be sure to always have one at sea.

Ça serait Le France Libre il me semble.

This thread just triggered all the crypto bros

Même vaccin que le chien.

Les autorités de santé en parachutent en masse avec un appât dans les zones où il y a des ratons laveurs pour éviter la propagation de la rage.

She was hired to make a successful conservative network.
A failed one is acceptable but they would have made more money just cutting the news

Your average network viewer is not great with computers.

Maybe they should get him for 60 minutes

A long time ago I remember an interview of the kid of a french billionaire.
He had joined the family business at 23 in a high position.
The journalist remarked on it and he was outraged.
Said he was basically stuck in the family business and could have achieved more in his own.
The sheer fucking hubris

Well he inherited the business and mismanaged it for years.
The business was sold out for parts and he is now a millionaire.

In my opinion the worst part is the hypocrisy

Sadly they do this because it works.

Personally I just stopped watching trailer altogether. But apparently a 2 minutes redcap of the movie puts butts in the seats

We had a health scandal in France.
After amphetamines were banned for weight loss a drug company came up with a diabetes pill.
That ended up being mostly used off label for weight loss.

Turned out it was just a prodrug of amphetamine.
At least 500 people died from heart and lung problems.

He likes the smell of his own farts.

Very few directors come back from that.

Robert Zemeckis was always hit and miss but he had a rough decade.

Maybe time to retire.

Whatever helps your sleeping at night

Sauf que la moitié du temps elle n'est pas acceptée

J'ai bien aimé les Pusher mais c'est à peu près tout
