    Depenfs of the countries, but in France, sending cash through the mail is actually illegal, and although the Post won’t seize it, they also won’t care if its stolen.

    Cheques are the safest option, and gift cards are covered by postal insurance if stolen, but consider mailed cash as gone before it hits the mailbox.








  • I mean, there are already plenty, for example, Peter III, who leads a Spanish church that believes they are the rightful Church. (Also, antipope is a subjective word, like heretic. From the perspective of various sects, the Pope Francis is the antipope.)

    Nothing stops you from calling yourself Pope and claiming you’re the rightful leader of the Church, hereby making you an antipope to the eyes of the Church.

    Now is there going to be a relevant antipope, that’s a lot less likely.

    The relevancy of antipopes hinged on the political power of the pope. Having the pope at your beck and call was an extremely powerful tool in the Middle Ages. But nowadays, between the secularization of most Catholic countries, and the massive loss of influence of the Catholic Church, an antipope would only have as much influence as his followers would give him, especially since they wouldn’t have the support of the Holy See or the Church.




  • J’ai jamais compris pourquoi on laissait les écoles s’occuper du sport, quand ça demande des investissements qui ne sont clairement pas raisonnables (faut une piste et un gymnase), et que ça force tous les élèves à pratiquer la même chose, plutôt que de faire ce qu’ils aiment.

    Ca serait beaucoup plus logique d’obliger les élèves à s’inscrire à un club sportif de leur choix (y’a déjà pas mal d’aides pour ça il me semble), et que les clubs doivent effectuer un examen à la fin de l’année qui est transmis à l’école (qui inclurait performance physique, mais également compréhension des règles, résultats en compétition, fair-play…).

    J’ai fait de l’escrime pendant 10 ans, j’ai gagné des compètes au niveau local, mais ça valait que dalle pour l’école qui voulait que je coure en rond comme un con.

    And then there’s Pluto, by Naoki Urasawa, which is what would happen if Philip K. Dick decided to write an Astro Boy story.

    (It’s a reinterpretation of “The Greatest Robot on Earth”, and was supervised by Tezuka’s son, 100% worth a read)
