I haven’t

Scratch my previous summary. Yours wins the cake.

Thank you for doing this.

The article is a little weird. This is my interpretation, need to look for other sources.

President says that the ambassador is “taken hostage, literally”.
Military in Niger wants him out of the country, but French government says that his work is too valuable, he must stay.
Military says " OK, but he can’t leave the embassy, Persona Non Grata".

Technically the ambassador has either choice of leaving the country or staying inside the embassy. Food is not delivered anymore, leaving him with military rations to eat.

The French variant of the article says that there is only military rations left to eat at the embassy.
But your post kind of implies that the French embassador is “force fed” military rations? This is a very weird way to translate it.

Nope, autistic burnout. Is the reason I stayed, for someone genuinely struggling.
But now I’m out, never ever again.

I didn’t like the situation, but I still did it because I liked the relationship. I see where is the misunderstanding now. My bad, and thank you

They would stop replying to any message, be overall unreachable, ghosting me when we planned a getaway at that date.
I assumed they needed space. I’m fine with respecting boundaries, even if it stings nonetheless when you miss them.

But stopping literally existing out of the blue?
How much time do you need? Days, weeks? Should I wait for you to contact me? Should we cancel this weekend?
No way to get an answer. No, nothing.
Just toss a coin and try to find out.

This is an interesting take, and I learnt from it. Would you mind sharing one or two of your references?
I had a heated discussion the other day on this topic, and I wish to know more.
On the other hand, I don’t really understand your statement that nobody is seriously building reactor lately.
China has started building new reactors. They are not planning but effectively doing it. Am I missing something?

Just google it.

Lemmy est une plateforme libre (sous licence AGPL-3.0) et fédérée. La fédération est un système qui permet à n’importe qui de mettre en ligne un serveur, et de l’utiliser pour interagir avec le reste de la plateforme, de la même manière que les différents serveurs d’emails permettent d’envoyer des messages peu importe le serveur choisi.

Super, a la fois succinct et instructif. J’ajouterais seulement un mini paragraphe pour expliquer ce qu’est la fédération. On ne fait pas forcément le rapprochement entre la notion que Lemmy est fédéré, et le système des instances. Je chippote un peu, le reste est impeccable (a mon humble opinion).

J’ai trouvé qu’on ne pouvait pas passer à côté de la satire, tant le texte est rempli de clichés de “homme écrit femme”. C’en était si absurde que ça ma fait rire.

Ce stéréotype est couramment ridiculisé sur internet, si bien que des communautés internet existent pour recueillir des textes clichés de " homme qui écrit femme".
Le côté satire peut être bien perçu par les femmes, parce qu’il se joue des clichés habituels qui font rouler des yeux.
D’autant que par ailleurs, si nous commençons a faire bloc de certains essais, on risque d’homogénéiser les écritures.
Ce n’est que mon avis, je le reconnais.

Est-ce que demander a l’auteur d’écrire un avertissement que le texte est une tentative de mettre en ridicule le bon vieux stéréotype de “homme écrit femme” serait une bonne alternative ?

Gives a Thalos Principle vibe, somehow

I’d play the hell out of this videogame.

I don’t remember which, but on one of my flights, we were distributed eye masks with different colors on each side. If you were wearing the red color on the outside, it meant that you wanted to be left alone. Smart and yey, free eye mask!

You also need to provide the kid that must be saved last minute, because they stupidly ran after their soccer ball, and their dumb ass is now in the middle of the road.

Easy to say, for areas where drinkable water is scarce

Don’t know whether they do, but have you heard of Liberapay?

In Muay Thai, when your opponent tries to throw a knee, they hold the back of your neck and pull you.
A knee to the stomach or plexus is really powerful, so you have to act fast.
The best defense in those cases is to hold the back of their neck in return, pull them closer so that they cannot strike, and try to throw a knee first.
It ends up with a play of the two opponents holding each other and trying to throw a knee while closing the distance.
And most likely ends up in the dead lock or “hugging” that we see in match.

I’m sure there are other techniques that involve this holding in MMA. Forbidding it would remove those techniques from the game.
