    Huge respect for this lady and the absolute transformation she has helped Paris undergo with respect to bike infrastructure.

    I have no idea who this woman is, but based on that quote and nothing else, I’m comfortable saying that we’d agree on many political issues.

        I don’t get why people still smoke tbh. I understand vaping (though for disclosure, I vape), but I don’t understand smoking.

        I can understand vaping because you can control your nicotine intake, you can control how it tastes, how much vapor is produced, you can make your own ejuice, there’s evidence that it’s less harmful than smoking (less harmful, not “harmless” just “less harmful”), it doesn’t usually smell like shit, it doesn’t color the walls, doesn’t coat your lungs with tar, is probably more environmentally friendly if you have a refillable vape instead of one of those shitty disposable ones (at the very least you won’t leave butts everywhere)…

        There are probably other upsides to vaping over smoking that I’m forgetting, but like, why would you smoke when vaping exists? I can understand an occasional cigar, cigarette, hookah or pipe, but I can’t understand doing it regularly. Even if we pretend the health impact is the same, you’re still gonna smell like some kind of metallic garbage and ruin your possessions and home.

        I’m not saying non-smokers should vape, I just don’t understand why smokers refuse it.

      And it only cost the taxpayers 1,4 billions for her to go on a little swim in front of the cameras.

      It rained once and they had to cancel some events lmao.

          Ah yes, mocking the absolute waste of money this entire endeavor was, means I’m a far right reactionary

          Please kindly fuck off.

          She speaks a lot of words and she’s corrupt as fuck. She will gladly ally with the far right the moment it allows her a little power, like every single one of her kind. Her party is right wing garbage. She can fuck off like the rest of them.
