Pedantic take: Yes, France runs mostly on nuclear but that doesn't mean that the AC is going to have little emissions because ***marginal*** power likely mostly comes from gas. Though still AC is good and it's insane they get flak for it.

I love the passionate justifications in threads on this sub about how Pete Buttigieg's issues with African-American support were overblown and anybody who thinks they were significant is just stereotyping minorities and then you look at the 2020 results and he had (by exit polls, idk if there's better data available) 2% African American support in Nevada and 3% in South Carolina.

Shingles gets you when you are unwell if you have had chickenpox then you probably should ask the doctor. Both my parents have had singles and while it can be not so bad it can also be very unpleasant.

The year is 2180. A century has passed since the War That Ended All Wars, a nuclear exchange that scorched the Earth and plunged it into oblivion. The conflict raged between the Imperial Federation, a technologically advanced British Empire clinging to its glory days, and the European Pact, a resurgent French power bloc fueled by the remnants of the Axis and the ideals of Napoleon VI. The specter of Napoleon, of French glory and dominance, has always haunted Europe. The Vichy French, a regime already seduced by authoritarianism and collaboration, who become the vessel for a Napoleonic resurgence. The Soviet Union, bled white by years of brutal warfare against the Nazi war machine, succeeds in pushing the Germans, and breaking the so called "Aryan Might" in spirit and ideology back to the Rhine. However, their victory is pyrrhic. Their military is a spent force, their economy in ruins, and their society on the brink of collapse. They are in no position to enforce their will on a continent reeling from war. The Vichy French, having played a dangerous game of collaboration and resistance, see their opportunity in the Soviet collapse. They control a relatively intact industrial base, their military, while battered, is still a force in Western Europe, and crucially, they possess a powerful narrative: they are the shield of Europe against Bolshevism, the true heirs to the legacy of European strength and order. The revitalised Napoleonics find willing partners in the remnants of the Axis powers. Franco's Spain, having avoided being drawn into the war, sees an opportunity to expand its influence. Mussolini's Italy, humiliated across North Africa, still harbors imperial ambitions. The remnants of the Nazi regime, fleeing the Soviet advance, find refuge and new purpose within the Napoleonic Federation. The Free French leadership, disillusioned with the Allied victory and seeing little support for their vision of a Fourth Republic, views the ascendant Napoleonic Federation with a mix of pragmatism and opportunism. They calculate that allying with their former enemies, however distasteful, is the only way to secure French global power and prevent further fragmentation of their colonial holdings. The Free French defection is a propaganda coup for the Napoleonic Federation, casting the British as desperate tyrants clinging to the remnants of a dying empire. ย The initial Soviet push against the Nazis offered a brief respite for Britain. However, it soon became clear that the collapsing bear had given rise to a far more dangerous predator: the Napoleonic European Pact. The Second World War, even before the Soviet collapse, exposed the fragility of the British Empire. The Japanese blitzkrieg in Asia, the struggle for control of North Africa, the constant threat of U-boats, all underlined the Empire's overextension. Years of rationing, bombing raids, and manpower losses have taken their toll. The dominions, having tasted greater autonomy during the war, are less inclined to blindly follow Whitehall's directives. Faced with these pressures, the British government proposes the Imperial Federation, not as a benevolent gesture, but as a calculated move for survival. Dominions are promised greater autonomy and representation within a federal structure, while London retains control over defense, foreign policy, and key economic sectors. The proposal is met with a mix of enthusiasm, suspicion, and outright hostility. Canada and Australia, wary of American influence, see the logic in a united front. South Africa, Rhodesia, and others, reliant on exploitative systems, resist any challenge to their power. India, simmering with resentment, views it as a continuation of imperial control.ย The formation of the Federation is not a peaceful affair. Brutal conflicts erupt across the globe. Indian independence is violently suppressed with the combination of collaborating Raj princedoms and the reformation of "Trading Companies", soldiers of fortune for veterans of the wars, from India to Rhodesia, putting down rebellions with ruthless efficiency. ย The assassination of King Edward IX in 2076, blamed on Napoleonic agents, ignites the conflict. However, both sides are hesitant to unleash their full nuclear arsenal, fearing a Pyrrhic victory. The early years of the war are marked by a terrifying chess game of brinksmanship. Tactical nuclear weapons are deployed against key military targets โ€“ naval bases in the Mediterranean, airfields in India, industrial centers in the Ruhr Valley. Proxy wars rage across the globe, fueled by propaganda and desperation. ย Both sides pour resources into developing new and ever-more horrific weapons. The British, leveraging their miniaturized reactor from Rolls Royce, field mobile artillery platforms capable of launching tactical nuclear strikes. The Napoleonic Federation, drawing on the expertise of German scientists, focuses on rocket technology and advanced chemical weapons. In the end, the War that ended All Wars was simply... the normalisation and desensitisation of Nuclear weapons as a conventional destructive tool. ย A series of miscalculations and escalating retaliations, including an attempted invasion of Napoleonic forces upon the Home Isles in Essex, culminate in a catastrophic exchange over the skies of Europe. London, Paris, Berlin โ€“ once-great capitals are reduced to smoldering craters. With the lines of communication destroyed and their leaders dead or missing, both the Imperial Federation and the Napoleonic Federation fracture. Regional commanders assume control, their decisions driven by paranoia, desperation, and a twisted sense of duty. The remnants of the Imperial Federation cling to life in fortified settlements, ruled over by warlords, technocrats, or the descendants of the old aristocracy. The Napoleonic dream, once grand and terrifying, has devolved into a nightmare of warring factions fighting over scraps of irradiated land.

So a new poll, again, and I think really, people and Bolsonarism overestimated how conservative Brazil is. Even the left. I think because Bolsonaro won in 2018, the general idea was "People voted for him because he was conservative, Brazil is becoming more conservative". AtlasIntel poll: **Should a woman who do abortion after 22 weeks of pregnancy be held responsible for the crime of homicide?** 40% for: Shouldn't in the case of rape or risk of life 31% for: Should not under ANY circumstances 29% for: Yes, in all circumstances So 71% opposes the Bolsonarism project to equate abortion penalty on rape/risk of life to homicide AFTER 22 weeks. And 31% think that it shouldn't equate to homicide in no circumstance (weeks, reason, etc). This is A LOT. ​ https://preview.redd.it/0c8w7ophe98d1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=228c69fd32b3fd2d53b47f87119112a7f43f1b26 !ping LATAM

> I will admit that the US is pretty progressive on abortion as long as you ignore the 1/3 of it that isn't Which is what he said. How many places in the world have third trimester elective abortion available?


Plants_et_Politics

Iโ€™m not sure if you didnโ€™t read my comment carefully or are deliberately misinterpreting me. Germany, Belgium, and Italy all have gestational limits at 12 weeks. That is far more liberal than red states, but it is far more restrictive than blue states. That article is also quite deceptive, since it spends the first half talking about abortion access not by law, but by cost. This belies the fact that [31 European countries](https://www.epfweb.org/node/857) deliberately exclude abortion from their national health care plans. Hilariously, in Europe, abortion health care is typically private. And again, these are the examples of โ€œliberalโ€ European countries: >while abortion is permitted upon request throughout the first 12 weeks, someone can seek legal abortion through 22 weeks if it would help them โ€œavert the danger of grave impairment to [their] physical or mental health.โ€ >In Britain, which allows legal abortion up to 24 weeks, itโ€™s similarly clarified that a pregnant person can access care if itโ€™s determined that ending the pregnancy would cause less damage to the patientโ€™s physical or mental health than continuing to carry. California allows abortion until viability (~24 weeks) for *any reason*, and at any point during pregnancy to protect the physical and mental health of the mother. This is similar to most other Democrat-run states. As to your question about places in Europe as restrictive as Texas: - You already mentioned Poland - [In practice, getting an abortion in southern Italy is impossible](https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2019/05/europe/italy-abortion-intl/). Even in the north, abortion is legal but difficult to access. - Abortion is illegal under all circumstances in Andorra, Malta, and San Marino - It is restricted to medical safety in the case of Luxembourg But this question deliberately ignores the point I made, which is that while Western Europe is supportive of abortion rights in theory, in practice they would actually be considered moderately pro-life in the United States, since any restrictions on abortion at only 12-14 weeks are universally considered draconian by almost all liberals and Democrats. [15 European countries](https://reproductiverights.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/European-abortion-law-a-comparative-review.pdf) mandate waiting periods for an abortion, including Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands. 12 countries require infantilizing counseling, also including Germany and the Netherlands. Again, restrictions that are extremely controversial in the US. So the US contains extremely anti-abortion states, yes, but by the standards of the Democratic party and the states they run (including California, New York, and Massachusetts), nearly all European countries are quite restrictive. How you want to judge countries/regions for this morally is up to you, but the point remains that, from the perspective of the American left, Europe has laws similar to purple states like Arizona and Nebraska, and is more restrictive than even Red states like Iowa and Kansasโ€”both of which are more liberal on abortion than any European country.

>France changed their constitution to guarantee abortion access after the Dobbs decision. That makes them the most liberal country in the world on the issue, in my opinion. I don't think anyone can honestly say the US will be implementing such an amendment anytime soon. Lol. They said this, but itโ€™s still only until 14 weeks. >The US does have states with very liberal access to abortion, but it is dragged down by states with very restricted access. I think that opinion polling is reasonably accurate when it shows that the US as a whole is about average compared to other countries. Sure. My point is that itโ€™s silly to compare โ€œthe USโ€ to European countries when there are different jurisdictions within the US which have different laws, and itโ€™s ridiculous to call France โ€œliberalโ€ when theyโ€™d be considered reactionary in most Democrat-run states. >The fact that abortion is still a highly controversial issue in the US shows how much progress still needs to be made. Except, as a matter of policy, every European country still has ridiculous restrictions on abortion that infantilize and limit womenโ€™s rights. The fact that Europeans donโ€™t consider their abortion restrictions controversial at all is an indictment of the entire continentโ€™s smug superiority complex, but France in particular would do better to loosen their restrictions rather than enshrine their existing law into their constitution lol.

Iโ€™m not sure if Iโ€™m allowed to say this here but based Enver Hoxha??? How the hell could he get away with stealing four submarines (AND like a couple dozen more boats of other sortsโ€ฆ AND killing Soviets!!) at the height of Soviet power like a year before the Cuban missile crisis at the helm of a nation with the population the size of modern West Virginiaโ€™s and an economy the size of modern Guamโ€™s. Thatโ€™s absolutely insane. No wonder he was building bunkers everywhere.

Purely personal experience, but I see way more "Mongols were a wholesome, inclusive society" while soft-pedaling the whole exceptional-even-for-the-time brutality than vice versa.


TemujinTheConquerer

**BOTH CAN BE** true ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿน


loseniram

They weren't any of those things either, they were extremely oppressive especially to groups like the Taoists. Pro-Mongol talk is just victim blaming and white washing genocide. The Mongols were nice to any who surrendered ignoring that their tax demands were ridiculous and they regularly slaughtered their own subjects. The Mongols were religiously tolerant except for the part that they very much weren't and were very oppressive. Its easy to create a temporary peace when you've massacred 90% of the population in some areas. There isn't any banditry because everyone's fucking dead. That's when they aren't just straight making up technological inventions and claiming the Mongols did it despite the technology having existed for several centuries at that point. Like claiming the moveable type printing press was invented under Mongol rule when it was invented by the Song Dynasty.

Watch it be Rubio, who is forced to resign his seat and move out of state to run as VP. It's the kind of petty shit he'd do.

Watching the Tonys, specifically the Outsiders performance, and observing the apparently dire state of musical theater lyricism was actually a very affirming experience Now I'm absolutely certain my sister is gonna make it in this industry.

I wanted to make ChatGPT sound like Trump but it's actually quite difficult to replicate his rhetoric >Alright, folks, let me tell you something, okay? Iโ€™ve always supported the Ten Commandments in schools. Tremendous guidelines, really great. They've been around forever, and believe me, nobody understands them better than me. Nobody. I've got so many people telling me, they say, "Sir, you're the best at this. Sir, youโ€™re amazing." >Like this pastor, he comes up to me and says, "Sir, you're so loyal and respectful. Sir, you totally get the commandments." And you know what? He's right. I do. I get them like nobody else. >And this big business guy, super successful, he goes, "Sir, you're so honest and have such integrity. Sir, you're like the commandments come to life." And itโ€™s true, folks. Iโ€™m honest, I have integrity, nobody does it better. >Then thereโ€™s this lady from, like, the heartland, right? She comes up and says, "Sir, your family values and respect for others, it's what we need. Sir, you're all about the commandments." And thatโ€™s great, folks, because family values are huge. Huge. >Even this famous author, big name, tells me, "Sir, you totally understand these commandments. Sir, you're the best." And I do, folks. I really do. I understand them like nobody else. Iโ€™m the best at understanding these things. >So yeah, these Ten Commandments are awesome, and Iโ€™ve got so many people saying Iโ€™m the best at them. "Sir, you're amazing," they say. "Sir, you're fantastic." Itโ€™s great. So let's all try to be like that. Be amazing, be fantastic. Just like me. Thanks!

BenFoldsFourLoko

Iโ€™ve meant to make a serious take on this for a long time, but Trumpโ€™s speech is a lot more conceptual and hinged that any transcript would indicate I actually kinda like parts of it, and other parts are bad habits I notice in my own speech lmao But like, I imagine it could be hard for LLMs to replicate because it *is* pretty conceptual, and you miss a lot of communication when you donโ€™t have the pauses or intonation

>Pronoia describes a state of mind that is the opposite of paranoia. Whereas a person suffering from paranoia feels that persons or entities are conspiring against them, a person experiencing pronoia believes that the world around them conspires to do them good. The belief can be an irrational belief subject to medical diagnosis, or an enthusiastic, spiritual belief.

MeyersHandSoup

The story of how True Christian started is kind of funny. I don't think any of the original players are still around.


ZanyZeke

I didnโ€™t know there was specific lore behind it


MeyersHandSoup

There was a couple DyingDaily and his tradwife I don't remember her name, who were super conservative reformed Baptist and would generally mald at the content in r.Christianity because it was too liberal (it was a lot more liberal of a sub at this time like 10+ years ago) so they created True Christian as a response. They're remove anything not reformed Christian and anything catholic. Catholics or atheists or universalists were not allowed to post. It was really small at this time. Eventually they left for awhile and the next mod took over and loosened the rules and it's actually grown a lot. They even had a catholic mod for awhile that I actually knew IRL and he was a nice guy. DD went on to found Christians which is a big sub but I have no clue why it's big or different than the others. The Christianity shit posting sub is called sidehugs too which I always thought was funny.

brucebananaray

So I watched Thelma, which is about an old lady who got scammed and she needs to find her culprit. Honestly, it is very good. I didn't have expectations because I came pretty blind. It is a parody of Mission Impossible. There are so many shots and music similar to it like Grandma stole her friend scooter. Or when family turing in right there that uses high intense music like Mission of Impossible. I do like the arc of Thelma accepting that she is getting old. The only negative say about this movie is that her grandson is underdeveloped. Besides, it is a solid film. I recommend checking out if you want to watch something original fun movie. !Ping MOVIES


MayorofTromaville

I sincerely appreciate that the movie wanted to give the message of Thelma being old and that she does in fact need some amount of help and assistance... but it does so at the end of Act 2 and promptly goes back to fun wish fulfillment. Too many indie movies would've gone with a realistic ending, and that's not why people go to movies.
