I’d like more smaller scale projects and events to foster a sense of community, canvas is coming up and it will be a good test to see the dedication and activity of communities in the fediverse

President =/= Prime minister in France

The president is elected during the presidential elections, he then appoints (a nomination) his prime minister, who will be the head of the government, and in turn nominates his ministers.

It is common (but not the law) to appoint a prime minister that is from the party that has the parliament majority (through parliament elections that happen after the presidential elections)… Or whenever the president dissolves the parliament prompting new parliament elections. This is what happened here after the results of the European elections).

If the parliament disagrees with the nominated prime minister, they can hold a “No confidence vote” which forces the nomination of a new prime minister if it passes. So it’s not easy to be prime minister because you have to be “accepted” by the parliament. iirc last year the left tried 3 times to vote a no confidence in the previous prime minister, and was very close to succeed every time.

Usually the president is in charge of international affairs, and the prime minister of the national affairs, but we french have a hard on for king-like figures of state, so the president is kind of seen as the most important person in the government. The prime minister is mostly just his lap dog, a yes man that follows his orders 🥲

Fascism always walks veiled

The far left (NPA, LO) has zero candidates left running in the parliament elections, so I’m not sure why you’re bringing them here haha

“significantly below” is an overstatement

250 is extremely close to the majority, and with the more extreme members of the “regular right” and potentially some of the aligning with them, they very well may have control over the parliament

Macron asked numerous time for the French left to vote for him against the far right then disrespected those voters by pushing far right policies, now his candidates are uncomfortable promising to vote for left candidates against the far right…

Not good enough looking at the votes haha

When I was thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that sports that don’t require confrontation should just evolve and give up on the competitiveness. Swimming, javelin, whatever shouldn’t have the winner be the best out of every contestant, we should celebrate each and everyone’s force of will to better themselves first. We already have that with high jumping, where individual performance is rated Vs their height goal.

Give up competitiveness in sports where it isn’t needed, and you no longer have people melting down because someone has more muscular mass, or a different gender than expected.

Give up competitiveness in sports and you return to a celebration of the human body and it’s physical prowess, instead of childishly fighting for who’s best.

Obviously this doesn’t work in football, or sports with direct confrontation, that i haven’t found a solution yet, maybe during the next shower ?

Agreed, half an hour out of one’s day on a Sunday isn’t much to at least get involved however small it is

I would argue voting is one of the lowest forms of participation in the political life of one’s country, but that’s not a debate I’m ready to have at this hour

Maybe https://writefreely.org/ ? But it’s very simple with not a lot of customisation

Or https://joinplu.me/ but its development has been halted lately

Yeah haha it’s really weird and I tend to switch between the “normal” way and the “french” way without noticing. Basically in french the rule is that if your symbol is “tall” ( ! , ? , brackets, semicolon, I think dashes as well…) it needs to be preceded by a space

French typing rules

I’m curious about your agile theory now !

[email protected] is nice, wish it had more screenshots coming in !

No way when this https://lifehacker.com/tech/discord-data-sold-to-ai-and-law-enforcement and this https://spy.pet/ exist

Yeah buddy fuck you too

Just because youre lhgtbq does not automatically mean you’re right or have been wronged.

Governments and people around the world are actively trying to repress if not outright kill sexual / gender minorities, I do think they’re wronged on a daily basis because their very right to existence is not granted :(

Good bot
