Well, he just lives in the wrong country. In the Netherlands or Belgium (for example) you can get large fries.

Thank you for your hard work.

I am getting old, my first reaction was nice Homm III cosplay.

I think the question is how much money do I need to know what is going on?

You do have the Renault 4 and 5 that are reasonably priced. And I think Fiat also has a reasonably priced model.

Well you also get greek for the European vibes. And kebab according to Germans.

D is probably the best region.

I think he already moved to Belgium to avoid some of the French taxes.

So apperently I am wrong. What would make a future France less of a police state and more democratic than now?

I agree with you that he should resign because he made a mess and does not follow the will of a majority of the French.

But as far as calling France a failed democracy that I do not agree with. A flawed democracy sure, but than again even a good democracy does not protect the people from making choices on flawed information or ignorance.

France is not a police state, I fully agree that the police is way too violent but that is not equal to a police state. France has many problemes but it is still a democracy and they can still vote for change.

It is not a fake democracy they just voted in an asshole.

Considering that the Dutch were below average before the second world war, I think your hypothesis is wrong. I think they were just compensating for being tiny during that time.

On a more serious note, I just think the Dutch had zero scruples (inventors of modern capitalism and all).

They just didn’t care how many people they screwed over aslong as they could get one more Gulden in their pocket.

As much as I want to joke that it is the year of the Linux desktop, I think it is mostly because the younger you are the less likely you are to have a pc (so Windows, Mac, Linux and BSD for the dozens of you).

As far as I can see most of the time people use their phone for everything and only touch a pc for work or if they have a hobby that requires the use of a pc (gaming, digital art, music, programming, etc…).

Absolutely a possibility

You are asuming they do physical work and aren’t just white collar.

Gateway 2000 with Windows 95. I do not know which specific configuration (I was too young). I do remember the games I had though: Tyrian 2000, Jazz Jackrabbit 2, C&C, HoM3, I-war, Flight Simulator 95, LBA 2 and Jersey Devil. Half of them were copies I got from a neighbour that owned a cd-r.

WAIT, isn’t that the flag of Luxemburg? The blue looks too light for the Dutch flag or the French flag.

I still remember watching the news as a child right after the tsunami of 2004 and seeing the death toll rising day by day.

It is only going to get worse with climate catastrophy barely being addresed. Hunger and water shortage is only going to increasr the frequencies of wars and pandemics. Which will result in more and more extremism.

Same in Dutch,
