  • For the non-french: Bolloré is a fascist, who hired neonazi Marc de Cacqueray-Valménier as a guard for his private island to help him out, who owns c-news the French equivalent of Fox-news, is currently buying book editors to push out left-wing authors, he pushed the most far-right candidate Zemmour during the last presidential elections…

    He has connections to the point of inviting former president Sarkozy on his yacht the day after elections he was elected, and made the base of his money in Africa.



















  • essentially calling their music taste stupid. (My previous comment was a bit over the top, it is a default I can’t rid myself of). Wouldn’t judge people as a whole on their music taste. Some people are just not into music and wouldn’t know the difference, we already had human-made music slop before AI. But I felt like taking a cheap shot at AI.



  • These loose their elasticity over time, which is rather rapid in hot weather. I had a couple for summer, each lasted 2 seasons.

    Real thick and plain leather lasts much longer (I have a hand - me - down I got 25 years ago that has distended and become ugly but works as intended), unless in wet weather where leather the requires a shitload of maintenance not to rot. Quality vegan leather lasts long from what I heard, but I have yet to go through the one I already own.

    Quality “nylon” belts last rather long too if the metal parts are thick, but tend to either slip a bit or bite hard but damage the fabric. The ones that close over are the best, ones with the roller slip more. I prefer the ones made from cotton over nylon personally, as they are more confortable but last less.

    Crap “leather” belts made of two thin leather strips with a padding inside don’t last very long, even higher quality ones.

    Real jeans last long, but thick fabric with no elasthane whatsoever is dissapearing from usual stores as thinner with elasthane is easier to manufacture and fits “better”.
