Well, this has triggered a translation storm with the use of the French word 'emmerder' ..

So which meaning was his intent?



Macron sparks outrage with cutting jab at the unvaccinated

Paris: French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday he wanted to “piss off” the unvaccinated – a slangy, cutting remark that prompted howls of condemnation from opposition rivals less than four months before the next presidential election.

“The unvaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And so, we’re going to continue doing so, until the end. That’s the strategy,” Macron told Le Parisien newspaper in an interview published late on Tuesday.

The expression “emmerder”, from “merde” (shit), can also be translated as meaning “to get on someone’s nerves”, “to annoy” or “to make life difficult for someone”. It is considered “very informal” by French dictionary Larousse and is widely used by people in all levels of French society, including children. It is not regarded as being as strong as its English equivalent.

You got it all wrong.
Conceptualizing how we want to live then claim it requires efforts, it is actual work already.



Even the sun doesn't happen to get the fucking time to sleep on the French territory, it's the only country on which it doesn't set...that's how busy we are.

Tell that to your Health minister, i have a feeling she could use a few tips about sweating it...^^

Nice beer though, kudos on that

What we got was the deafening silence of compliance. The (nearly) whole country seemed to suddenly not go to work.

Well that was just after the big gilet jaune thing, which lasted long enough to create deep ripple effects in the working society. The covid confinements were just right in time to allow many people to just take these confinements as paid extra holidays, in some ways.
Also, when you're an individual, not expert on health matters, well, either you rebel without being too sure about being right, either you knock it off and comply for the time being, awaiting how things unfold.
As the majority of people aren't epidemiologists, they can't really tell how manipulated they are by the ones making the rules, not too early anyway....And in 5 months, presidential elections, with more cuntish moves until then. Things could happen.

I guess the vexating thing was to be so prominent on vaccines at some point in history, but largely out of touch on this one. That was an eye opener for many.
We do have flaws indeed, as you do.
