I guess it can boil down to the range of qualities available.

In France croissants are available everywhere but you have a very high range coming from high artisan standards to very low industrial products with very basic places in the middle mostly heating stuff rather than doing the whole process.

In Japan i guess there's less available bakeries specialized in things like croissants and they sell it as a high quality product. There's also highly qualified bakers from France that are working in foreign countries.

Too much possibles biases to really judge.

About to finish a bachelor's degree equivalent in France, having worked this year as an apprentice in a company, mainly doing application maintenance of an internal system based on (VB/.NET) managing licenses and customer files.

>"Surrender" in this sense means something like fully facing reality and not demanding that it be other than it is. Easier said than done, of course. Someone who can do that probably becomes more capable of action, because they can bear the consequences of their actions.

It sounds reminiscent of some principles coming from stoicism. I'm not well versed in these concepts but it doesn't sound too far-fetched as IIRC parts of stoicism have been adopted by later currents of thought.

Just checked the cover and first page of my french passport (made in 2013).

There's 3 lines written in different languages in this order :

- Union européenne

- République française

- Passeport

It doesn't says "French citizen" either, just "French Republic" and "European Union" multiple times.

Felt the same. The few french dubs that are feeling "ok" are mostly biased from nostalgia by being the first things we were exposed to. I know i feel that way with the Cowboy Bebop dub (and i won't take into account the Miyazaki movies as they are exceptions for many reasons).

The few other dubs i was exposed to later in life weren't good experiences either and you could feel the limited cast (in quality and quantity of actors) failing at not butchering things along the process.

Like you said animation and dubbing it wasn't taken seriously at all in the past, and is still limited nowadays in France as i understand it (short discussions with actual french dubbing actress and few articles).

Complementary links from some list i guess. Third one matches with current article.

Just to build up on previous comment and yours, "social media or addictive distractions" is also a thing known for a long time.

"Panem et circenses" is a known latin expression about providing to the masses the 2 biggest basics (food and entertainement) to appease it, sometimes used to show a decline.

You can search for Classic Shell, it will add you a panel of features to make Win/Start button menu more 7-like.

Hopefully the core is still here but that's indeed really unfortunate to not find some more time / interest into polishing the form of the message in this case.

Living in southern France near italian border: i can confirm the heat wave is still strong here, even if there's places suffering more of the heatwave in the country atm.

Recognized his face and name instantly ! I know him by reputation from his origami work and appearance in a documentary, seems to be a very cool guy.
