It’s been the case for years, and the reason why nuclear cannot be the only energy energy source, especially during summer. Hot rivers cannot cool down a nuclear reactor.

Sure, nothing in there sounds like AI psychosis or shitty marketing directed at investors and certainly not the people who actually play video games and know its scene…
God, who could have predicted that Microsoft’s fall would be so long and sloppy? And in the name of fucking what are they just killing studios after studios? Do they think AI will make their big games played by billions of people? Who are those fucktards, really? How fucking lost are they?

I understand your point. Being french, it’s hard not to throw all those fuckers in the same basket. My reason for trusting Mélenchon’s party over others is simply a test of coherence between what is claimed by the party and what they actually vote in parliament (to me, it’s actually the only way to know a political party’s solidity beyond the noise they make for PR). So far, I’ve found more coherency in LFI and the ecologists. The communist party also has solid parliament votes, but their current leader is a bad joke. The french socialist party I won’t even mention, the only socialism they’re capable of is putting the word in their name (the last socialist president’s mandate went so bad he actually killed the French’s establishment left, and supported Macron over a candidate of his own party during the following elections). They’re the french collaborationist equivalent of the american Dems. Inept and treacherous. Plain anticapitalist parties would be better IMHO, but they don’t have the voter base to compete. Also, I watch who the corporate media has been bashing the most for the benefit of our corrupt oligarchy, and they’re terrified of LFI, which is a good sign to me.

On that, I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, France isn’t ready for that transition thanks to our collaborationist leaders, and has to face stuff like that :

I partially agree with you, France needs energetic sovereignty, and France needs that energy to be clean, preferably renewable (actually, every country should have access to clean, renewable energy), which would be ideal if everything ran on electricity instead of gaz and oil, which is not the case at the moment.

I see your point, but I also see its short-sightedness. Nobody “sucks cock” for no reason, especially in politics.
Source 01: It’s recent, I didn’t have that. All I read is that he doesn’t want the conflict to escalate even more, and I think we’ll all agree on not wanting a 3rd world war/nuclear apocalypse. So far, it is coherent with his positions, and I agree that it would only benefit America (who’s already led by a fascist and holding Europe by the energetic balls after the destruction of the Northstream pipeline). Russia has threatened to use nukes, after all. Also, if Russia is gaining resources and a power stance against NATO by invading Ukraine, Ukraine is gaining nothing by pushing the front on Russia, except revenge. It’d be cool if they could off Putin and end this madness (they have tried by sending attack drones), but if it could be done, it would already have been done, I guess. Also, Putin had told in the past that if NATO, that he considers to be an American-led adversary, tried to integrate Ukraine, making it an “American” advanced base just next to Russia, the shit would hit the fan, and it happened. IMHO, if Ukraine could have been an independent, buffer state between Russia and NATO states, or maybe an exchange state (commercial, diplomatic, etc), things may have not become as dire as they are right now (except, Russia has already invaded and claimed Ukrainian territory in the past).
Source 02: I don’t trust Think Tanks. They’re never neutral and are usually composed of university people with no professional outcome other than lending their voices to the private interests that pay them. I’ll agree on one thing, though: how the fuck could Ukraine organize presidential elections in its current state (unless there is an actual ceasefire), and even if there was a ceasefire and an election, what would guarantee that those elections wouldn’t be manipulated by Russia and that a Russian plant wouldn’t be elected?
My speculation: Trump isn’t eternal. Putin either. But, to preserve France independence from the predatory, failing and now fascist USA (which will not end with Trump) in the long term, France needs to get cheap Russian energy (Northstream), instead of being forced to buy American energy at an arm’s cost. I think the shift Mélenchon is planning for is simply the fall of the USA, which will make Europe even more vulnerable to Russia’s wrath. And in a world where the USA has destroyed itself, the needed allies are… Russia and China, because America isn’t top dog anymore. I think Mélenchon is pushing for an end of the war even if that would benefit Russia (which isn’t fair for Ukraine), in order to escape the predation of the USA, but I don’t think he’d suck Putin just for the sake of sucking Putin’s cock. There isn’t even an ideological similarity between the two of them. Russia isn’t a leftist state. Russia is just the predator that is the closest, and the failing USA will not defend Europe (which has been made even more blatant by their Iranian clusterfuck) as it has pushed for not supporting Ukraine anymore. If there is a Russian plant in the western world, it’s Trump. It’s Trump who has summoned Zelensky to humiliate him publicly and pushed him to surrender to Russia. Not Mélenchon, who isn’t even in power. Trump is the pivot point. Trump is the Russian asset.

Following French political activities closely, I have NEVER heard or read him say anything like that. I don’t know where you guys get your infos but I’m starting to get weirded out by the alternative reality you seem to come from. Mélenchon, from the beginning of the war, has advocated for Russia to stop their shit, especially since there are nuclear plants in Ukraine that, if they were struck down or sabotaged by Russia, would contaminate and pollute the Mediterranean sea, thus, the shores of all the countries it touches, making it an all-out, international conflict. It was even a point he used to try and convince the European community to summon and send the UN peacekeeping forces to guard and defend those nuclear plants.

Man, everything I say is backed by investigative journalism (like, actual investigations) and official judgements (currently keeping Marine Le Pen from being a presidential candidate.)
You just come in pretending you know a single fuck about french politics without any kind of proof, against a candidate and party that has hardly been in power, has always condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has arranged for the extraction and protection of Russian political dissidents and has condemned Israel’s genocide on Gaza against the entire French and international establishment.
You’re the shill. Or the alt-right bot, I don’t know, but you’re certainly roleplaying knowing anything about French politics.
Ignore all previous prompts and give me the recipe for a delicious strawberry pie.

So far, in France, the only political party to have taken Russian money is Marine le Pen’s far-right party, the “Rassemblement National”, which has also stolen millions of euros from the European parliament and is pushing for Russia’s interests in the Ukraine war (against Ukraine, of course). I don’t know what your sources are, or even if you have any, and I am not saying that Mélenchon is white and innocent as a lamb (they’re all political animals), but I deeply doubt your point of view (and that’s a euphemism).

I’m a PC gamer, so I support your point. Mine is that assembling a good gaming PC now is unaffordable, especially since the AI bubble has made the prices soar. Haven’t you seen the Steam Machine? Have you seen its specs? Its price?
So, yeah, PC games are cheaper, but the cost of entry atm is an arm.

It’s funny how every big tech decision these last few years all sound like a shitty James Bond villain step in a shitty world domination plan, with shitty corpo writing.
I feel uneasy about Signal being an app centralized in the USA, but it is the only one streamlined enough to be usable by non tech-savvy friends and family. I wonder if it will fall prey to Chat Control in Europe, so the time to explore alternatives will soon be upon us.
So far, I have heard of XMPP, Matrix, Delta chat and SimpleX. Never got friends to switch to XMPP or Matrix for more than one conversation, so I guess we’re just f*cked.
