To be honest, modern Saudi Arabia and its religious madmen is weirdly similar to the French Old regime and its loving catholics assholes in term of bullshit.

Also Macron announced that the State of Emergency will stop in autumn. After all the hard police action parts of it have been moved to the normal non emergency police rules, i would guess.

During the whole speech I kept being reminded of the thick of it, where the conservatives and most young politicians operatives were obsessed by the show west wing. Someone tell macron he is not president of the USA so he can drop the loving state of the nation speech every year idea, that's too circlejerky for our Gallic taste.

So you know what was set on the same day as Macron's big speech to the assembled congress? It's the deadline on proposing amendments for debate on the bill allowing Macron to use executive orders in order to ratfuck workers out of laws protecting them!

Bonus question: can you guess which group wasn't in Versailles this afternoon from the number of amendments they have submitted?

lol, you can now do Paris-Rennes (373km) in the same time you can do Rennes-Châteaubriand (61km) or Brest-Quimper (91km). I can't wait for everyone who isn't a rich Parisian to get priced out of the city and have to move somewhere awful like Saint Brieuc.

I don't know how anyone can stand to live in Paris... or afford to, but that's another story. I've lived in two large cities in my life, both French speaking, and despite speaking excellent French I was nearly insane after two months. No wonder people who go there for tourism think that all of the French are colossal connards. After about six weeks all I wanted was for someone to suffer needlessly and that I be the cause of it.

I had a good time when I stayed in Paris vOv. Maybe you had a negative experience with transportation or stayed in a bad neighborhood.
Granted after 1 week i couldnt stand motorists and their relentless use of the horn, as well as all the bullshit from scooters.

Speaking as a Frenchman living near Paris and as a connard myself, it's just something you gotta get used to. The secret is to interact with as few people as possible and throw hostile looks at everyone.

Groland had a fantastic sketch where a happy nice guy (i think it was Omar Sy) was treated like sub human poo poo in the capital for being overly polite until he started doing exactly that and stopped smiling and started treating his follow man like poo poo.
Edit: found it. Of course it's called integration.
