I guess she died at 3 and the mother was mourning?

In Waloon they are called "vôtes". Traditionally they are thicker with raisins in them. When made with buckwheat, they are called "boûketes".

I was thinking about that. I guess the objective of brands is to be so normalized that people don't even think about it. Of course they're driking coffee at that place. Of course you'll go there to chit-chat with your friend. Going somewhere else doesn't even cross one's mind.

Ah, true that. It's not an ad then and that's even worse... Are corporations that engrained into people's minds that when they think of drinking a coffee in a café, it's necessarily that brand? Their marketing dept did their job well.

No, it's the coffee brand they're drinking.

I love Litterbox! But I hate ads. Sad that corporate consumption needs to infiltrate nice things for authors to survive.

Edit: it's not even an ad, it's worse! That chain of cafés is just a cultural norm now. That's depressing.

There's no real link with French. She's just calling him a sweet boy in proper english I guess.

With my shallow understanding of Nietsche, this comic is accurate that Nietzsche admires and sees the Übermensch as a goal for humans. But "rising above nature" and "the spirit is stronger than the body" is exactly the opposite philosophy to the Übermensch.

Same comment every time this meme pops up: why is the gf on a leash?

The censorship makes it worse actually

Sure, I regularly see some recording in parks or in stations.

Not a policymaker but I'd guess the cause of the far right appeal is linked to

  • Growing inequalities, enrichment of the richest, and trickle up
  • Unchecked power of big tech and media companies like GAFAM, X, and traditional media being centralized in ownership.

Both can be tackled by regulations at the EU level.

Edit: actually, centralization/monopolization seems on the rise, no? Be it tech, media, food, transportation...
