We already have a centrist party that aimed to stop Brexit. They had 8 MPs at the start of 2017 and had 10 after the election. People want centrism as much as they want a poo poo sandwich and Macron only did well because France's left and right split amongst themselves.

I'm sure French centrists will be incredibly popular in the UK.

What the gently caress is wrong with Paris that when it snows all the buses shut down? It's not like snow is an unknown quantity here. My partner had to walk 30 minutes in the cold to get to the RER B, since her bus wasn't running, and the RATP can't even be bothered to tell people that their buses aren't running? She actually had a bus driver pull up on the bus and tell her he wasn't taking any passengers after she had already waited a good 15 minutes, making her walk another 30 more.

It's a major metropolitan area, you think they could deal with a little snow.

Most of those are straight wacky stuff for dummies but I'm not 100% on items like:
- Les groupes terroristes djihadistes comme Al-Qaïda ou Daech sont en réalité manipulés par les services secrets occidentaux
and
- Le ministère de la santé est de mèche avec l’industrie pharmaceutique pour cacher au grand public la réalité sur la nocivité des vaccins

Oh, really? Then how was I able to get to work and back, today, riding buses, in a snowstorm, in and around piddly Albany, New York?

Because the French are gigantic babies about the snow.

I took this picture a few years ago because I woke up to a text message from my boss saying to stay home because of the snow. I looked out and saw this. Since I had the day off I decided to do the proper Breton thing and go buy some booze so I could just sit at home and drink all day. No such luck, every grocery store I could find was loving closed as was the city's entire public transit system. During most of my quest for alcohol I was literally the only person on the streets, like some kind of post-apocalyptic horror movie. I ended up finding a pub that was open and was the only person there apart from the bartender most of the day.

That's my story, hope you liked it.

Because Albany doesn't have anything remotely resembling a hill in the entire city so there's nowhere for buses to get stuck/hosed over running on summer tires? Also because American drivers aren't nearly as insane as French ones.

Seriously, the only options for winter tires for buses and large trucks is chains. Our buses run summer tires all the time, which is why they're often limited to the flat highway in winter.

This was one of our local buses in November after a small snowstorm, trying to go down a hill:



This is super adorable hahaha.

Also that's Rennes which really doesn't get much or any snow usually, except that one time back in 2011 or 2012 (maybe?).

That's pretty steep and narrow between republique and st anne too, unless it was completely cleaned from any snow i wouldn't be surprised if the city decided it wasn't worth risking an accident.

Can't blame people for playing it safe around conditions they aren't used to, Bretons are suicidal, not crazy.
Leaving office workers home when the roads are this bad isn't super shocking either.

e: heeey but this is right next to drug dealer street

I don't really have any sympathy, I grew up where there were significant (in the tens of centimeters) accumulations for 3+ months and most of us survived. There's no magic to driving in the snow, just don't drive like an rear end in a top hat.
