Sure, that's great but it's not even the point. Fundamental research and other type of "useless" scientific endeavors help humanity as a whole to better understand our universe but would never be privately funded because they don't have any concrete and immediate financial benefits. This is precisely what a government should finance, because no one else would do it and yet it's small stuff like that that make us collectively move forward as a species

For those who don't know, french gendarmes are part of the military. Those Israeli policemen just assaulted a French soldier on French soil which, you know, is usually a pretty big diplomatic no-no

Yeah the amount of plastic wrapping in this picture is concerning, I'm curious where that abomination comes from

I think the word genre comes directly from the french word ("genre", meaning "type"), which in the plural form is "genres". I don't think "genera" means anything, it's probably a typo

You created this post in order to give yourself an alibi when someone notices this game appears in your "Last games played", didn't you?

If that is supposed to be your ultimate proof that horseshoe theory is real, you might have some more convincing to do

Macron is the President, not the PM, so he doesn't have to leave. Moreover, he's the only one who can appoint a new PM, so all the NFP can do is put forward a candidate and hope His Majesty Macron deems him/her to be worthy. The whole situation is essentially a soft coup by Macron and his party, there's no way around it
