  • Ils ont tenté de garder l’heure avancée au Colorado. Ils ont arrêtés après quelques temps car les gens étaient trop déprimés de commencer leur journée de travail à la noirceur. Et ils sont plus au sud que nous donc il fait déjà clair plus tôt. Ce genre d’adaptation toucherait principalement de la main d’oeuvre qui commence leur quart de travail tôt (construction, personnel medical, restaurateurs, etc) qui se ramasseraient à faire plus d’heures de travail à la noirceur. S’ils vont de l’avant avec une telle proposition, j’espère qu’il y aura au moins un référendum sur la question.

    Selon moi on devrait tout simplement retourner à ne pas changer l’heure (des études démontrent que ça a un impact non-negligeable sur la santé), mais garder l’heure normale, comme le monde a fait depuis que le cadran solaire existe…







  • That’s the thing, I totally get why people say he’s a sociopath cause even though he’s fucking rich, he can’t even pay for an hotel room for the participants. I have a feeling their belongings were taken so they would not have to deal with people stealing each other’s stuff, which would have been wayyy less likely if people got their own room. I highly doubt it’s that much cheaper to rent a fucking stadium, buying 2000 sleeping bags, paying for portable toilets, etc. than to rent a whole cheap hotel or motel.

    He really wanted those participants to be desperate for that money. “At least if I get to the end, all that crap before will be worth it”. It’s disgusting… He’s not considering those people as humans but as cattle.






  • And to had to that, soccer comes from the term Association Football (hence A.F.C. -> Association Football Club) but since it was too long, the British shortened it to Soccer and it was the prefered term going back as far as the late 19th century. Refering to it as football regained popularity in the UK during the 1960s. As for Gridiron Football, the first part of the name was dropped long ago as at the time all football sports were simply called “football” in North America (this includes Rugby).

    And yes this joke is sooo tired, my first reaction was “oh we’re going back to making those lame repeated memes that made me quit 9gag 10 years ago”



  • Honnestly I was a little bit disapointed cause when I went to see it to the movie theater, I was in the mood for a scary movie. Like typical horror stuff. There is some “scary” passages, but it’s no It. So don’t expect to be full on frightened or to have big jump scares.

    However I think it is a movie worth checking out. The acting is on point, the images are vibrant, overall greatly directed. Obviously the movie is a big metaphor, but I went to see it completely blind and I understood pretty easily what it was all about. I’m kind of surprised by the score on IMDB because it has a 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and I just heard nice things about this movie beforehand. It brought a tear to my eye even though I am not in the same situation as the protagonist.
