Because that would be silly
  • Oh Luke was definitely asking her about their birth mother, knowing that it was the same woman. The question here is that Leia didn't know what he was talking about. Since she gives him an answer about someone who died when Leia was young, maybe she's just thinking that Bail remarried later.

    Before the prequel trilogy came out, it could have been their birth mother she was talking about, and she just didn't know that Luke was her brother; but after ep 3 came out, and we see Padme die, we have to assume Leia was adopted by the Organas, but Bail's wife died when Leia was young and he later remarried, and Leia is thinking about that woman after Padme and before Bail's new wife, thinking that she is her real mom.

    And yeah, it's completely possible that Lucas originally intended for Padme to be the one Leia was talking about, but the point is, the movies don't actually specify if she meant Padme or the middle wife, so it can still be explained.

  • That detail wasn't in any of the movies so the line in ep 6 still makes sense the way you thought. I'm pretty sure anyone would assume that's what she meant, since we never hear that she knew she was adopted. Whoever made Bail's wife die in the explosion of Alderaan is the one who messed up, or Lucas ignored that addition when making episode I.

    Michel Barnier, ancien commissaire européen, nommé premier ministre par Emmanuel Macron
  • Mais l'alliance avec l'extrême droite, tout va bien ?

    Sans avoir eux-mêmes la majorité, ils doivent bien faire des concessions soit à l'extrême droite, soit à la gauche, et on voit bien avec quelle facilité ils font leur choix (au grand dam de leur corps défendant !) et la confiance qu'ils ont que le RN jouera le jeu.

    Le désistement en faveur de la gauche pour faire barrage républicain, ça n'aura pas duré.

    Konami Updates Suikoden 1 Main Characters Profiles
  • The article really wants to remind everyone that the hero's canonical name is Tir, and at first I thought that meant the site was actually using the name. But instead it makes a point to not use that name and call him Hero, so now the article's insistence just seems sad.

    Also for anyone like me looking for the date and confused by it not being in the first line of the article, it's March 6 2025.

    26/08/24 - Nouveau gouvernement : "Les chefs d'entreprise sont inquiets, il ne faudrait pas les rendre fébriles avec un flou politique qui dure trop longtemps", estime le patron du Medef
  • Il est contre l'augmentation smic, la baisse de l'âge de retraite, tout ça, parce que vous comprenez, il y aura moins d'augmentations et d'embauches. À côté il reconnaît être dans la pire période en termes de dépôts de bilans etc.

    Donc moins d'augmentation et d'embauches comparé à quoi en fait ? Quelle est la situation qu'il imagine donner plus d'augmentations et d'embauches alors même que la politique actuelle cale ? Ou alors il prétend que c'est la gauche qui a créé la situation actuelle ?

    Original Fallout co-creator Tim Cain says 'critique of capitalism was never the point' of the games and if anything they're about how 'war is inevitable given basic human nature'
  • There's giving a different importance to something that is, in fact, present in the art piece because it touches you more importantly than it did the author, and then there's making shit up whole cloth. But like I said, the words you chose, and also the things you chose to defend, say more about you than the art

  • You can also replace woke with another word and it is indeed true that this hypothetical game has a message of female empowerment by having a strong female lead yes. Fallout can have an anti-capitalist message whether you're pro or anti capitalist yourself and use your own word of choice to denigrate or praise the message. The word you chose says more about you than the message.

    What was your point already?

    [Politique] 22/08/24 - L'Élysée confirme la nomination d'un Premier ministre dans la foulée des échanges avec les partis
  • "La stabilité" voulue par le président, c'est "la capacité pour un gouvernement à ne pas tomber à la première motion de censure déposée", insiste-t-on à l'Élysée.

    La stabilité pour ne pas tomber à la première motion de censure quand le parti présidentiel a pas de majorité absolue ? Elle est assurée quand le président nomme un premier ministre hors de son parti et dit à son parti de ne pas voter contre son choix. Rien de plus évident.

    Par exemple si il choisi à l'extrême droite et dit à son parti de se taire, aucune motion de censure ne passera, parce que son camp + le RN font plus de 50%. C'est super simple et c'est comme ça que c'est censé marcher quand il y a pas de majorité. Aucune justification à prétendre que c'est pas stable.

    Le calcul est identique s'il choisi à gauche, car il a toujours la majorité. Sauf que ça n'arrivera pas, il sait qu'il peut dire à son parti de ne pas voter contre et que ça suffira, mais il le fera pas. Il préfère prétendre que la gauche est instable.

    S'il choisi dans son camp parmi les ex PS en prétendant que le PS acceptera, il s'en fout parce que le RN ne soutiendra pas de motion de censure donc ça passera même sans la gauche. Donc on sait déjà ce qu'il entend par stabilité même s'il peut la créer comme il veut sa stabilité.

    Le seul risque qu'il court c'est de convaincre le RN de ne rien faire. Si le RN dit non, il sera forcé de prendre à gauche (et encore, en supposant qu'il ne vire pas RN), mais le RN ne dira pas non.

    There’s a Big Ol’ Timeline Retcon in Deadpool & Wolverine (Spoilers!)
  • Does the writer of that article not understand what the TVA timepad does? Logan dies in the future. Deadpool goes to his grave in the future, because he thinks that the events of Logan don't end with his death, he's in denial and he thinks Logan is probably faking it therefore his timeline won't be erased.

    Good to see that people are adressing this. I'm so sick of everyone wanting to 'write' a 'book'.
  • At first, I thought it strange that a lot of these ancient tablets are receipts and bank statements.

    That's exactly what writing was invented for, from after the mid fourth millennium bce, the first few hundred years of rudimentary writing are accounting archives and lists of names (gods, jobs). Actual information (royal achievements, how-to, religion) came shortly before the mid third millennium.

    Hundreds of years of nothing but bean grain counting.
