Je vois beaucoup de mes contacts, amis et autres gens sur les réseaux sociaux s'interroger sur le vote RN. Et dans leurs interrogations, je comprends qu'ils ne connaissent probablement personne votant RN.
J'en connais plusieurs. Ma famille est issue de ce milieu, milieu si lointain de la plupart des gens d'ici ou d'ailleurs (ne nous voilons pas la face, le fediverse et le micro-blogging n'est pas représentatif de la population, nous sommes bien plus éduqués, urbains pour la plupart et issus de milieux plus ou moins embourgeoisés pour la plupart aussi).

Donc, oui, même si je n'approuve pas, je comprends assez bien le vote rural pour le RN.

Mais si ça vous dépasse, cette explication est excellente :

My mom: "Why don't you want to come to France in Summer, you love France in summer."

Mom: "I lovED France in Summer. In the 20th Century and the early 21st."

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe I thought about doing this for a while, but wasn't sure about how practical it'd be. I guess trying it out is the best way to know.

Breaking news: Extreme-centrist sees extremists everywhere.

Don't get me wrong, there are many on the Right, pretty much all that's left over there, but on the left? I think they had 1% of the vote in the European election.

@liztai@hachyderm.io Yes, it's embarrassing to admit it, but it's actually very good.

I hate being the one saying this, but people going to Japan and expecting to see Ninja are a bit naive.

They're ninja. If you could see them, they'd be bad at their job and be fired (and they wouldn't be ninja anymore.)

"Post-Covid" "overcrowds"
Sounds like "pre-Covid" to me.

Every single time since 2021, Golden Week was followed by a Covid wave. And seeing how mask-wearing is at an all-time low in #Japan I'll be wearing mine even more carefully in the next few weeks.

@evan@cosocial.ca I'm not sure the 2/3 is spread equally among all professions like this.

153 yen instead of 160! I feel so much richer already!

Just got my yearly very official e-mail from the university (and by extension from the ministry of education) that I'm allowed to wear short sleeves from May 1st (until October 31st.)

Phew...

#Japan

@BeAware@social.beaware.live I meant that it was not exactly legal in some countries.
(I'm on Android)

@BeAware@social.beaware.live I mean... There is... But...

Sometimes I hear people wonder how Soviet citizens could believe the constant lies in the Pravda back in the days...

Then, I read the Western press and most have become a series of constant gaslighting about pretty much everything right now, you name it (Israel's genocide, the climate collapse, late-stage capitalism, Covid erasure).

The sad part is that most Westerners believe those sacks of lies, whereas Soviet citizens all knew the Pravda was just BS.

After 27 years on the internet and 20 on social media, l can say that I think I'm finally starting to grasp the whole "talking to strangers on the internet" thing.
Two people, in two separate occasions, on two different platforms made well-meaning but totally stupid comments in the past two days and... I said nothing. I didn't point out the inanity of their comment nor how it was beside the point.
Not gonna lie, I'm proud of myself. (It still rattles me that they will never know how stupid that was, but baby steps, I guess)

@evan@cosocial.ca Have you become Japanese?

@BeAware@social.beaware.live Both. 😉

@BeAware@social.beaware.live What you said.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live I hope it's just step one and that "normal" federation is coming. Right now there is almost no incentive for people to turn it on, especially if they don't really know what it is.
They won't know who follow them and they can't really interact with other accounts. And no possible discover ability.

This awkward moment when people on #Mastodon freaking out about #Threads realize that its users are regular people who left Twitter like everyone else.
