Sorry, English is not my mothertongue. How would you reformulate the title in proper English?

I can see each of your points being actively exploited by my government. We’re fucked.

Assange has been held in […] Prison on the outskirts of London for five years, and he previously spent seven years in self-exile at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London […] until his asylum was withdrawn and he was forcibly carried out of the embassy and arrested in April 2019.

12 years… fuck…

You’re absolutely correct. The deputees from the Rassemblement National voted against writing the right to abortion into the French constitution and they did not support gender-equality laws when presented at the Parliament.

Our CEO came to visit us. It was fun. Some people couldn’t make it because they were out on vacation.

Our department manager announced with less than a week’s notice that he’ll visit us after our CEO, for no specific reason, the weeks around the Easter weekend (Friday and Monday are public holidays so 4 days weekend). For the occasion he asked everyone in the team to cancel vacations approved months ago.

All department employees individually politely declined to cancel their personal plans or approved vacations and involved HR. HR wasn’t aware of the manager’s decision.

He’ll be alone at the office for 2/9 visit days 😂

Saved you a click.

Click-bait article. Instagram/Meta did not add “terrorist” to user’s bio.

Some users say they have been “shadow banned” on Instagram over pro-Palestinian posts. This is when a platform intervenes to make sure posts do not appear in other people’s feeds.

They got shadow banned for supporting Palestine (now fixed). Still fucked up, but not accurate to the article’s title.

We’ve used https://roll20.net/ in the past. It works in browser, I don’t know if they have an app.

Covering your face in public space is banned in France.

the dress isn’t necessarily religious

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abaya

essentially a robe-like dress, worn by some women in parts of the Muslim world

It is common that the abaya is worn on special occasions, such as Mosque visits, Islamic Holiday celebrations for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha and also during the Islamic Holy month of Ramadan

I also wear a kippa on my head and a cross around my meck. But it’s not necessarily religious. I just like the design. /s

France is a secular country. It’s probably hard to understand for you free people of freedomland, but ALL signs of religion are banned from public institutions.

Thanks for doing the math. With that, it means a french worker must work every single month without any gap from 21yo to 64yo to be eligible for full pension. Literally live to work.

Fun fact: french policitians (and some other specific work fields) “cotisent” months faster. Our deputies can get the full pension unlocked after only 5 years of work (while it takes us plebs >40 years).

Liberté, Égalité*, Fraternité, brothers…

*Different terms may apply

IIRC (haven’t looked into the details recently) in France you can have full pension from 64yo IF you’ve worked every year from 18yo. You can retire earlier, but your pension will be cut down for each month not “cotisé” up to 64.

I think years of high school don’t typically count, but there are ways to “convert” or “buy” those years back for the calculation of your pension. Parental leave also can be converted.

So yes, the less you work, the longer it takes to unlock 100% of your pension funds.

EDIT: I just checked. To be eligible for full pension at 64 in France (full pension is 50% of the average of the best 25 years salaries) you need to have “cotisé” for 498 or 516 months (depending on your year of birth). Missing months can be bought back, or you can take a lower pension.

To add insult to injury, supporters of the police officer raised a crowdfund. It is now above 1.5 million €.

During the “gilets jaunes” protests, one participant boxed a riot police unit (in full riot suit) & got arrested. A crowdfund was opened to help him. The government cancelled the funds within 48 hours.

The French government is sending the clear message that “it’s okay for French police to kill people; even better if they are minorities (arabs,muslims,…)” and they will always get the support of the state. Disgusting.
