J'ai pensé que vous trouveriez cette chronique intéressante. Écrite par Chantal Guy suite à son entrevue avec Laurent Gaudé pour son dernier ouvrage, certains chroniqueurs de mauvaise foi (pour ne pas utiliser d'autres termes plus péjoratifs) lui ont reproché un grave pêché par omission.

Madame Guy chronique la littérature depuis des décénies. Si vous ne la connaissez pas je vous invite à découvrir ses "vrais" articles et entrevues!

Ce qui me fascine chez un chroniqueur comme Richard Martineau, qui a de nombreuses tribunes pour dire qu’on ne peut plus rien dire, qui se voit comme un pourfendeur d’une élite à laquelle pourtant il appartient, qui qualifie de petits lapins ceux qui ne sont pas d’accord avec lui, est que c’est peut-être le plus braillard d’entre tous, capable de rouler pendant 24 heures sur le fait que je n’ai pas mis le mot « islamiste » dans une chronique.

C’est qui le petit lapin, au juste ?

Mais ce qui fait le plus mal à mon cœur de littéraire, plus qu’à mon ego, c’est lorsqu’on sort comme d’une boîte de Cracker Jack des citations d’écrivains que j’admire – cette fois-ci Camus – réduites à des slogans creux, très loin de leur pensée profonde, pour soutenir une réflexion anémique. Voilà selon moi ce qui ajoute encore plus au malheur du monde, qui lit de moins en moins.

I live in Canada. I never cease to be flabbergasted by laws in the US. It's like living next to a time warp.

I agree, it's a tiny step in the right direction, but definitely too little too late.

Same, and I also like the channels subscriptions so everything is in one place. But I also pirate a lot so I guess I'll have to do it even more!

You look great! I've interviewed my fair share of help desk people, some with rumpled clothes or worst, smelly clothes. Keep them clean and not wrinkled and you'll be fine. Great advice all around in the other comments. And take note of the belt one especially, it has to be clasped above the zipper. You got this!

That's fucking terrifying!

Une bonne nouvelle pour la francophonie en général et plus particulièrement pour la communauté cajun au sud!

You sound like you didn't read the article. This not about seeing ads or not, it's about large corporations allowing and making profits off advertising criminal activities.

I do the same! And you know, I think this is a hobby by itself. It's also very useful when talking with strangers if they tell you they practice one of the hobbies you've binged on. You can ask them more pointed, interesting questions and it makes for great conversations!

Seriously, "Jewish erasure"? Come the fuck on.

What goes through the mind of people like this? Don't they realize they are being dicks? Regardless of the weather the thought of using an umbrella in a crowd would never even cross my mind, even less so in a seated venue, wtf?

That's a big one. Also lack of hobbies or passions.

[-] swan_pr@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

They know. Most people that use that argument just want to make their position known, ie: socialism bad.

Boxing in real life is not like boxing in movies. No fighter can go 12 rounds just throwing hands all the time. The clinch is used often for strategic purposes, to stop the momentum or interrupt the rhythm of the other fighter. It also is used to get some kind of rest when one is getting pummelled and can't find a way out.

Sometimes it's abused of course. But it is very much a part of the sport.
