        If you want, “Such is life” is Sa se lavi, in Haitian Creole; won’t stand out as much except for discerning listeners, when spoken, but you can sub. that any moment you’d normally use C’est la vie.

          This is actually incredibly relevant to me. I’m anti-“It is what it is” and instead say “Such is life,” “So it goes,” “C’est la vie” and an additional alternative is great. Won’t eliminate C’est la vie entirely because it’s a Protest the Hero song, but thanks for another ‘tired acknowledgment of the absurdity of reality’ phrase!

      All of our governments are trying to cancel freedom right now not just Australia, it’s not necessarily the fault of people that live there that their government has been captured by the oligarchy.

      France is doing the same with age verification and trying to get chat control and the like, trojan horses to surrender their citizens to big tech companies and run everything they say and do through ai threat detection after connection names and likenesses and id to video and biometrices and ip address.

      We should cooperate together to defeat these assaults not simply condemn those whose governments passed such laws over the heads of their citizens.

      That flag is the flag of Aotearoa New Zealand, you addlepated twit. Furthermore, you absolute buffoon, the REASON they are depicted this way is because the French, with knowledge and consent all the way to the chief executive of the country, committed an act of war (espionage, murder, arson and terrorism) against them because the French didn’t like some hippies trying to stop them from nuking south pacific islanders.

      Talk about fucking “counterfactual”

        Nah I think they mean because I am Australian. But yeah, every single one of those flags has a reason to have a grudge against France.

          Yeah, they made that clear when they said that they were discriminating against you based on the TLD of your instance. It’s given me quite the chuckle.

            Oh it gets better, they reported it saying I deserve to be shot to dead. I’ve never seen such a strong reaction to a pretty average meme.

              Fucking Christ. It also seems entirely unclear to them that the JOKE is that even the FRENCH don’t like their government. The only thing that could make it clearer would be for you to give the French pooh a guillotine.

        “A 2022 national survey of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples [1] found that: 60% had experienced at least one form of racial prejudice in the prior six months. This percentage is higher than in previous years (2018: 43%; 2020: 52%), indicating that that experiences of racial prejudice have been on the rise.”

          Quick look at your history indicates the only time you’ve ever mentioned indigenous peoples is to excuse you going on a batshit rant a propos of nothing.

          We’re not props for your mental episodes, mate. Get in the bin.

      Let me guess you’re French and lashing out at others instead of acknowledging your own issues?
