I figured that could be the reason, like with the various ways soldiers find to carry their rifles more comfortably, but I just don’t understand the physics of it here. Pulling on a backpack straps, I get, you are basically offloading the weight from your back and into your arms (and, as you said, bringing it higher to make it a little more comfortable to wear), but here it looks like it would just strain your neck and possibly your back even more since there are plates on both sides (which I assume is the heaviest, most “problematic” parts of the vest regarding comfort).
Guess I need to wear some body armor to understand it, physics and biomechanics do be weird sometimes.


Also, yes, but it is ridiculous how they seemingly can’t stand up for 5 seconds without striking that pose. Or cowboy-style hands on the belt holster, etc.


I swear these guys (and a lot of police/military too) just take these jobs so they can wear a bulletproof jacket and do that pose in the article pic to “look cool” and make their arms look bigger


It’s a real phenomenon when talking about incidents involving two vehicles because you unconsciously dehumanize the person in the vehicle since you’re not directly engaging with them, but their machine, and can’t really see the person in it.
Same principle applies on the internet where people aren’t seeing a person when they are verbally abusing someone online, which makes it much easier to ignore the empathic part of our brain. At least that’s what I heard on the radio.
That being said, this one involves a cyclist so I’d just call it attempted murder too.


I felt like shit for bumping a guy’s car at 5kmh because it snowed (not common here, so I was on summer tires) and I slipped while braking. He must have noticed it in my face because he cheered me up when he saw that the bumper didn’t even have a mark
Can’t believe some people would run into a cyclist head on on purpose and live with themselves after, dude’s gotta have some anti social disorder


RIP to a real one


Also France has 4 nuclear-powered ICBM launcher subs. Even if article 5 doesn’t happen it can independently decide to kickstart the apocalypse


Cyberpunk moment


I think Brelok is the one that did the eating here


Maybe it’s just like a memory foam mattress after a while


French is also used in Belgium, and in Switzerland somewhat. Plenty of vpn locations to choose from.
Also iirc it’s just a shitty DNS block just like our piratebay block, so just changing your DNS to anything not hosted in France should work


I can’t even tell if you’re joking


Because it’s some “tough guy” shit to parade the thousands of people and millions of taxpayers dollars you can order to sacrifice for your decisions.
Also in France, getting invited to the official tribunes is an entire little game of influence and power. Mfs wouldn’t even invite my grandmother once as the widow of a WW2 soldier and Légion d’Honneur recipient, just so she could remember her husband one last time, because all the seats were taken by rich assholes and various other kinds of Macron’s sycophants.


That’s ignoring the environmental impact. You get brine on the other end that is basically wet salt iirc and if you release it in bulk you will fuck up the nearby environment


Great, the fucking market that’s already so good at properly distributing food so people don’t starve is also going to handle our water needs. I have no idea why anyone would be panicking about this.


If you want to put a ban on something quit tip toeing and define the weapons you want to ban and their variants using specific language such as semi-automatic rifle, fully-automatic rifle, barrel length, etc
That’s how you get weird-ass weapons designed specifically to work around the law though. E.g in Russia they regulate harder any weapon that has rifling on more than half of the barrel (otherwise it’s considered a hunting shotgun iirc), so of course there are tons of Russian civilian weapons that are basically military stuff with shitty rifling and locked to semi auto


What’s so funny about that ? You do realize actual macbooks are already made in china, right ?
I mean, I think they’re also choosing old people to be pope because it’s a “for life” thing. Plus the whole wisdom aspect and shit since it’s religion
Unfortunately I think only the foreign legion would have been likely to fire back here, and I don’t think they they do much peacekeeping.
