“Choosing”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No, my comment was questioning whether a political party would bus protestors in to protest their own party, not claiming that there weren’t any protests at all.

EDIT: I was assuming these protests were happening for months. That said, I can see that they could be protesting the election results, so the time between the election and the swearing in.

Yeah except those protests were not astroturfed, just people with valid complaints.

And they were right.

Fair. Argentina’s politics are complicated. I was there in 2002 and remember groups of people sitting in circles discussing the political situation at the time.

I love Buenos Aires btw, hope things get better.

Uhhh.. Milei’s been in office for what, a week? Are you saying the “Peronistas” were driving people in to protest their own government?

Well, except the article is about Paris and cars in the US are not small or underpowered.. at all. Kind of a ridiculous statement, actually. The average car in Europe is much smaller than those in the US with a much smaller engine. For example, the most popular car in France in 2022 was the Peugot 208 with a 1.2L engine with around 74hp and a length of 4m, while the most popular car in the US, the Camry has a engine options ranging between 2.4L-3.5L, around 208hp and a length of 4.8m (almost 3’ longer for you yanks).

I mean, they have to be. European fuel prices are double or more and most countries/cities have proper transit and were not built for US size cars (or any cars for that matter).

I get the feeling you’ve never been outside North America if you think cars here are small.

Sea of Stars and Chained Echoes are both fantastic takes on the genre.

I also played Persona 5 Royal this year, which was a total vibe. Had me playing the music driving around.

There are some priests and crosses in Castlevania, does that count?

Does it mean anything if it’s on the repubs primary? Wouldn’t that only be registered republicans voting?
