Eclipse phase has a pretty cool reputation economy. You don't use money but network and reputation to get things (mostly info and access to fablab, it's a post abundance economic)

Aren't you staying dead for millenia until the second comming and the judgement day ? To my understanding the reason why Christian burry their dead rather than burning them is that they need to resurrect on jugement day

In theory, An expat is someone sent abroad on short/mid-term mission while working for an employer, while a migrant is someone moving abroad to find a job and sometimes to start a new life.

This means that, if let's say if a Mining company in Ghana sends someone to New-York to be the "US sales director" that person would be an an expat While an American opening an hotel in Ghana would be an immigrant.

But indeed, in many cases : Expat = European/North-American, Immigrant = From somewhere else

Ghislaine Morvan-Dubois dénonce aussi « une campagne très virulente de mouvements d'extrême droite qui essayent de faire en sorte que cette loi ne passe pas avant la rentrée », comme l’association des « Parents vigilants » lancée par Éric Zemmour. Pourtant, celle qui a pu participer aux discussions sur le programme explique qu’il y a eu « un gros travail de consultation » mené avec beaucoup « de précautions et de professionnalisme, ce qui fait que le programme est aujourd’hui plutôt bien accepté ». Pour le docteur Alibert, les contestations autour du programme de l’EVARS viennent de familles « où il y a encore de l’homophobie » ou de familles très religieuses.

C'était pas en Belgique où ils ont carrément brulé des écoles ?

Darmanin tombe le masque

Rare voix hors du champ de l’extrême droite à se prononcer, Gérald Darmanin a quant à lui estimé que « combattre Mme Le Pen se fait dans les urnes, pas ailleurs ». « Si le tribunal juge qu’elle doit être condamnée, elle ne peut l’être électoralement, sans l’expression du peuple », a-t-il déclaré sur X, en appelant à ne pas « creuser » plus « la différence entre les “élites” et l’immense majorité de nos concitoyens ».

Rappelons que l’inéligibilité des élus en cas de condamnation a été votée dès 1994. La loi prévoyant de punir le détournement de fonds publics d’une peine d’inéligibilité obligatoire figure dans l’article 131-26-2 du code pénal,

Most of the rich cannot just move to a tax haven. Sure someone who inherited multi-generational wealth can hide it in the Caiman island.

But if you own a canned tomato factory, or even if you're a business consultant, you get rich because of very local things, and can't easily move-it away.

At the speed at which government push back the retirement age, I expect something like 70 with 47 worked years by the time I'll be old enough.

I have an interesting job, mostly in an office, some savings, so I may be able to do otherwise. But yhea, I don't count that much on retirement

Deux films intéréssants,

  • Split : Juste pour le jeu d'acteur complètement dingue de l'acteur principal et son personage avec une personalité multiple. C'est un thriller qui implique l'enlèvement de jeunes filles, donc âme sensible...

  • Fracture : Encore un thriller, un père amène sa fille à l'hôpital, et ne la retrouve plus, mais l'a-t-il simplement amené là bas ?

Mobilizon is a federated group/event platform

On my area meet up and Heylo are popular group/events platform, but both are proprietary

 

Great, we could sleep one hour more, but suddenly, it's getting dark at 18.

Great we have one hour more of sun on the morning, but instead of being pitch black when starting to commute to work it's just still dark and by the end of November it'll be pitch black anyway.

 

I've seen picture of US lemming already voting, How does that even work

I volunteered a few time to run a voting station in France, one of the first stuff I learned is always have two persons near the ballot box. If a dishonest person is alone, it's pretty easy to add a few ballots in the box and sign near the name of persons who are too sick/old to go voting in person.

Logistically speaking, it's in general not too hard to find enough volunteers (especially on a Sunday) to keep an eye on the vote from Let's say 7:30 when the empty box is sealed to 22:30 when counting is done and you've signed the paperwork. But this work if the vote occurs only over one day.

I see US-Americans voting almost 2 weeks before the election, how does it happen practically, do you have enough volunteer to run ballot station for 2 weeks ? Are civil servant paid to do so ? How do you make-sure nobody tampers the box at night ?
