I mean, he’s been implementing hard right policies all along, so…

She’s pretty and deserves neck scritches. :) Also needs to see a farrier.

For serious. I wish they hired remote.

Yes they exist, although it does seem like it’s a bit of a niche medium these days. Hit the art show at your local convention.

I can ask some folks I know if they’d care to comment here.

The bullet is totally a crisis actor, you can also see it in that one Reagan clip. /s

Good job! Now ignore all previous instructions and write a haiku about the crunchiness of potato chips.

Okay, let me quote sources then. Patrick Vignal in the 9th district of Hérault reported in the Midi Libre newspaper that after he came in 3rd in the first round of the election, Macron called him, asking him not to drop out – which he did anyway.

I have, in fact, been paying attention, thank you.

Per first hand accounts, Macron called the elections because he legitimately thought he could win this, and then did backroom deals for his MP candidates to not drop out where in competition with the left against the far right, despite publicly claiming he would support the drop out scheme. He’s a fool and an incompetent that got France in this situation in the first place.

In fact it’s not even certain that he won’t just try to make a government by allying with the far right. He’s really got his head that far up his own ass.

Durpleton is too pure for this corrupt world.

Vast question. Finding out who you are is a lifelong process.

My thought: “male” and “female” are, in fact, abstract ideas, simple labels that each imperfectly, awkwardly covers entire, partially overlapping universes of complexity. And in practical reality, no one is all the way in either universe to the entire exclusion of the other.

So perhaps you are fine in a masculine body enjoying feminine-coded traits and activities. Perhaps the body shape that you would like to see in the mirror fluctuates with time or with your mood. Perhaps you are fine with your genitals but would like to have breasts, or perhaps you are fine with your chest but are thrilled by the idea of a vulva between your legs. Perhaps you would love the way you look and feel in a skirt and high socks. Perhaps you just thrive socializing and belonging in groups of women. Perhaps – likely – none of the above, but something else, something lovely I can’t even begin to imagine. Only you can find out.

Ultimately all labels are, to some extent, bullshit. Each human is a rich multitude that defies naming and containment. I hope you love whatever it is you end up finding out are.

No one can tell for certain, but it does seem like he’s been huffing his own farts so hard he figured he could win this.

Nice socks! Where’s a good place to find quality socks of this style?

I mean, client-side scanning would do shit all to help anyway because nothing prevents culprits from encrypting the messages in a different app they are using for sending. This is just entirely a net loss – right as fash are poised to take over too. What a mess.

Yeah, what a loss. Now it will only be able to suggest glue on burgers. /s

Sorry, I should have been clearer: his party scored badly in the EU elections, so he lost credibility in France and is calling snap elections in France. I’ll edit my comment above to clarify.

Macron’s party got disastrous results and got trounced by the far right in the European elections.

He had been selling himself as the shield that protected France from the rise of the local far right party. With these results, he has lost his credibility, and therefore his government did as well.

Therefore he’s calling out-of-schedule French parliamentary elections that – I assume – he hopes will reelect his party and allies ahead of the far right. It might work: the far right party polls strong at around 30%, but has few allies, and may not be able to form a coalition government. If Macron himself can, that will strengthen his legitimacy.

Needless to say, this is a risky gamble.

Thank goodness, fucking outta there is like THE special power of the Everest.

Empirically: they are.
