Also late to the party, but I feel like Manmade (_ https://manmadebrand.com/_) deserves a mention. Very comfortable and pleasant fabric. 👍🏻

Or, you know, they just need someone, of any gender, to teach them the difference between vegetable oil and motor oil…

Hopefully, this doesn’t break rule one and/or two too much. If so, let me know and I’ll delete.

I think I know a little more than you about French president Macron, but if so, not by much. So here’s the blind arguing with the blind!

Full disclaimer, this is a copypasta of the answer I got from an AI assistant:

Certainly! Let’s explore both perspectives on French President Emmanuel Macron:

1. Positive Perspective: Emmanuel Macron, as the French President, has made significant strides in positioning Europe as a more assertive global power. His vision for a united Europe, especially during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, demonstrates his commitment to international stability and cooperation. Macron’s close cooperation with other world leaders, such as United States President Joe Biden, highlights his dedication to addressing global challenges, including climate change and defending democracy. Furthermore, his efforts to rejuvenate France and prepare it for crises underscore his determination to lead effectively on the world stage. Macron’s energy, international presence, and rhetorical vision have garnered him support both domestically and internationally.

2. Critical Perspective: However, Macron’s presidency has not been without controversy. His perceived elitism, stemming from his background in finance and top universities, has alienated some segments of French society. His centralization of power and occasional gaffes, like telling an unemployed gardener to “cross the road” to find a job, have fueled class-based resentment. Additionally, his polarizing effect during the “yellow vest” protests and the visceral rejection he faces from part of the population mirror the challenges he encounters as a leader. While Macron scores well in polls on competency and presidential stature, his presidency remains divisive.

In summary, Macron’s impact on the world stage is multifaceted, with supporters praising his global vision and critics highlighting his perceived elitism and class-based tensions. Ultimately, whether he is a good president for the world depends on individual perspectives and priorities.

That’s what I used to help myself determine if you were a little too harsh on him. I thought it could be beneficial to share, but like I started this response with, if this is frowned upon, I’ll happily remove this!

I’m not super familiar with the whole affair, but aren’t these subs the “dagger” that is stuck in France’s back?

Just curious.

Also, he ended up with a bullet in the head. 😶

“We don’t know if he’s going to make it in the next 24 hours," Matthew Malinowski told NBC News by phone in his first public comments. “He was shot in the head.”

City Manager Marnie Cluckie added that the city can’t access the data, since it’s encrypted, but that they have a backup in place.

“All evidence at this point and based on what our cyber experts are telling us is that while it’s encrypted it hasn’t been removed from the organization, it hasn’t been taken and therefore it hasn’t been compromised,” Cluckie said.

When it comes to getting services back online, she said fire and paramedic services, along with anything safety-related, are priorities. Meanwhile, the city is still working to contain the breach and rebuild its IT system.

“It’s not over yet,” Horwath said, noting the long path to restoration still ahead. “Those bad guys are still out there.”

And that’s when everyone else goes… “to the moooooon!” 🐄🚀🌛

** The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media. More alarming, some media outlets publish these same fake stories without checking facts first!

And by naval gunfire no less! At a stationary truck. At a check point!

The two dogs I had were easily taught to wait on the floor mat right by the door. Once someone wiped their paws with a towel they would proceed forward. 🤷🏼

Not cool Poland… 👎🏻

I’m almost afraid to ask but, you have first hand experience with ‘deep lacerations from being tied up with rope’?

In my opinion, that is downright fascinating!! 😮🤯

Holly crap Denmark! 😮

If you are from Denmark, I hope you are proud of your leader. I almost am for you! To me, Denmark is showing more leadership and courage then just about all the rest of the planet right now. 👍🏼🫡

Thank you!!

I’m not sure it’s a case of " we’re sending our cops overseas to train with war criminals" or a the case of one of our many LEA organizations displaying a lack of judgement. Regardless of how bad the error was, it’s still just one of several and acted alone.

At least, that’s how it seems to me. But I haven’t read anything else than your quote on this topic, so there is that… 🤷🏼

Way to go people of NASA! 🙌🏼 🍾

Keep defending the truth!
