Sounds very familiar…

That’s an optimistic answer. But I’ll take it. There’s not much optimism around lately.

I’m not sure what your argument is. I’ve been working with pedophiles for 10+ years in the past. I’m curious about how society creates and identifies its “monsters”, that’s all. Not sure you’re on topic.

Maybe that’s the reason. At least that’s what I tend to think. But at the same time, it the rise of pedophilia to the prime type of deviancy looks quite… recent, if I may say? So something is society may have changed in the last decades/century to make it so?

Food for thought indeed, thanks.

Honestly, I’ll vote for them. But they disgust me with all their power struggle about who’s going to be prime minister. In doing so, they’re tearing apart the whole thing. They swore that they wouldn’t betray us. They’re betraying us everyday by showing everybody it’s just a struggle between egos. They’re paving the way for the far right too with this ridiculous display of inflated heads.

I’ll vote for them, then I’ll puke. The only frontliner I’m feeling like supporting in the future is, maybe, Manon Aubry.

France is becoming a far right country on two weeks. Do yourself a favor and stay as far as you can.

I know it exists, but I’m so happy to buy a game I’ve played and finish. Pyre, Transistor, A story beside and so many others. Just as a “Thank you”.

P. S. : of you people didn’t know about it, check A Story Beside. One of the games I’ll never forget.

Empirical evidence wins out in the end but… it’s not that simple. One name said a lot about this : Thomas Kuhn. Try giving The structure of scientific revolutions a read whenever you can. It’s old and there are more contemporary work, but Kuhn is still a reference in epistemology.

You learn something everyday. My knee-jerk reaction : such a shame to mutilate pets so they look like what we want…

Wait, people really do that?

Ok. Mais ça fait déjà beaucoup. Trop. Ceci dit, merci de remettre en perspective.

This comment needs way more approval

Alternatively, people may think they’re expressing “criticism” while just being blunt and cruel. Criticism doesn’t mean belittling someone.

And I know too much about this, as a teacher. Some of my colleagues wish they were little tyrants…

And I think this exact quote is from the movie. It’s a bit different in the book IIRC, but I prefer this one.

Ohhh. That explains quite a few things.

That smile… That damn smile…

It’s indeed the name of a band
