My Daily Blog :)
Well... I wanted to start this personal blog cause i feel free to talk whatever i want to.... So lets start! (Sorry for the typos
 i'm not english native)Today was a good day actually, i started the second level of my french courses (2 out of 17 lol), i'm used to listen to Toc de Mac before i start with the day officially and it really motivates me. Talking about the french class, during the mean time i talked with my new teacher and she asked me "What do you do to learn french?" and answered "well... I always listen to a French singer called Alizée" and then i showed her one Alizée's song because i wanted to know if she recognize her and my teacher's expression was like "i know who's her and i'm impressed that you listen to her music!" but i don't really know if she knows Alizée or not. The class finished okay but i still prefer my first level teacher haha. By the way, today i friend asked me how can i always listen to Alizée without getting tired and i didn't know how to answer, the reason is probably Alizée is the kind of singer i always wanted to listen to, her music is my musical taste in a nutshell, Mes Courants Electriques for me is the best album i've ever listened to because it's energizing and combines a lot of instruments at the same time (the case of Toc de Mac), every song is completely different to the other, coeur deja pris is magic and its video clips are awesome (i prefer A contre courant video cause it's like the typical musical video of those times performed in a abandoned building and i love that! <3) so... Maybe the answer is that i ALWAYS listen to Alizée cause her music match with me and she as a person seems kind and sweet! (i write this lines cause i read jessica's letters and i really loved how she described Alizée's personality <3) finally i want to say that i love this place, it lets me connect with Alizée (the person) even though i don't contribute a lot compared to other members, but i'm okay : D à bientôt! (Btw i love this piano cover of Toc de Mac http://soundcloud.com/velectrody/ali...e-megalizeecom) bye bye! Story 1 (6/9/18)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, i want to tell you guys about a story that have happened to me like 3 month ago: first of all this is my actual collection of Alizée: http://www.dropbox.com/s/6uj9h9oluxq...24028.jpg?dl=0 (i know is pretty petit compared to other members collections) I have a petit story with Mes courants electriques. When i bought Gourmandises my parents couldn't understand why a teenager would want a disk in 2018, back then every day before gourmandises arrived at my house my parents asked me the same thing, yeah it was pretty annoying, then they stopped days after the disc arrived but with Mes courants electriques was a bit different because when i bought it on Amazon my father didn't notice that he bought 2 copies instead one and he was suppeeeeer mad hahah, we couldn't return the second copy bought by mistake, the times passed and both arrived, i remember that day cause when i opened the box with the albums one of them was supeeeeeeeeeeeeer broken: 1.-http://www.dropbox.com/s/8r53erqzsdv...24145.jpg?dl=0 2.-http://www.dropbox.com/s/6o95x6apzql...24153.jpg?dl=0 But the other one was in pretty good conditions (the one you can see in the first link) this would sound rude but i'm happy that we bought a second copy by mistake because if the broken one arrives i would cry a lot, haha my father wants to return the broken MCE but maybe he will never do it. this is my petit story (if my father doesn't return it by the time i'm gonna move to USA i'll grab the disk as mine haha, that's the only thing valuable there) Last edited by Edsel Di Meo; 06-09-2018 at 11:38 PM..

My nephew worked in Boston with other software engineers. At one point the company said they were going to send some of them over to India to train people over there, but they weren't going to be replaced by these people. Corporate lies! Sure enough when they had trained so many, they closed that part of their office in Boston. My nephew was good and he was offered a position in NY which he took. He told me about one of these new engineers in India who made a mistake that cost his company over a million dollars. Justice served.
But I see more and more of this happening all over. You are just a number. My brother worked on the laser equipment for Gillette. It was a great company to work for, then they were taken over by Proctor and Gambell. They put people where they wanted, people with high seniority were put on night shift and new guys were put on day shift, but that too soon bit them in the ass, but it's just another company that is run by greed. The same is true of my company. We merged with another company years ago and though it was a merger, it's all the other companies management that's running the show and all they care about is the almighty buck.

My son, Chris, is a software engineer. He develops Artificial Intelligence. He warns of a problematic future. We already know there are cars and trucks that can drive themselves. Within a few years, all the truck and taxi drivers' jobs in the world will disappear. We are talking about millions of jobs evaporating. The loss of these jobs is only the tip of the iceberg. Within the next twenty years, robots will be able to replace most occupations. In 50 years robots will replace doctors, lawyers, and engineers. Robots will manufacture and repair other robots. In 75 years, robots will replace CEOs. I'm an old man and don't have to worry about this problem. I think I am lucky to be in the generation I'm in. In my father's day, a high school diploma was like a Bachelor's degree today. In my generation, life would be tough without at least some college. Today if you don't have a college degree you will have a tough time paying your bills. In twenty years a college degree will be at a disadvantage against a robot. Unemployment will be phenomenal. If you are an exceptional human being, you will always find a way to survive, but if you are an ordinary Joe, survival will be a challenge. There's talk about the government taxing corporations so it can pay everyone a minimum income should they not be able to get a job. It sounds crazy. A lot of people and corporations will oppose this idea, but if everyone is poor who is going to support the economy. Corporations can't make money if no one has it to buy their products and services. If billions of jobs dry up, what will happen to humanity? Last edited by Shepherd; 07-01-2018 at 06:24 PM..

Even with the problems that jobs lost to A.I. will cause us, many countries are already in a world of hurt. Several years ago, even before the massive influx of immigrants of recent years happened. countries like France brought in a lot of immigrants in the hope that these people being put to work would add tax dollars to their economy which would help for all the people who would be retiring in upcoming years. But that didn't pan out the way they thought it would and it only added to their tax burden making the situation worse. Now you bring in all these immigrants? The situation can only go down hill that much sooner .
But it wont affect the rich, the people who run our governments in a huge way. It will only make their situation better. Our own country's social security system will run out of money and that is probably not far in the future. With so many corporations being able thanks to our government to end many pension plans (My company was able to enter bankruptcy and end our pension plan despite having 4 billion dollars in cash), what will happen when SS collapses? If the economy collapses, most 401k holdings will be worthless. China will suffer a huge blow when most of the world can no longer afford to buy their goods and Middle East will suffer a huge blow when their sales to western countries drop to a trickle, but it's still a situation that the rich and the powerful will profit from. I don't envy young people today. Last edited by Scruffydog777; 07-01-2018 at 09:31 PM..

Youpidou !
Bonsoir! Ca va? Ca va bien! merci
This weekend has been very stressful because i have to study a lot and i didn't have time to do anything but i hope all of this will be rewarded.. c: I'm happy because i had 4 tests the past week and i could handled it even though everyday was more stresful than others and Alizée really helped with her music cof cof Toc de Mac cof cof Also i've been feeling very sad and this is one of the reasons: Is it me or when we're 18yo we start complaining about the shape of our body? i'm telling this because these year i've felt very uncomfortable with mine. I'm thin so when you're like me probably the thing that makes you unconfortable is that i always try to wear sweaters because i don't want people to see my arms and i feel that makes me very unactractive so maybe that's the reason why i like to listen to Alizée's music, it lets me forget all of this. What i'm trying to say is that maybe i like Alizée cause her 20yo version is an impossible dream for someone like me. Sorry if this post is sad but i really wanted to vent merci Édit: Yay my IG page has 100 followers ! https://www.dropbox.com/s/pzeynebwjm...25839.png?dl=0 Edit 2: I finished Duolingo ! https://www.dropbox.com/s/bsu6rkusq5...25831.png?dl=0 Last edited by Edsel Di Meo; 07-01-2018 at 11:02 PM..

Well I think in some ways,you should feel very fortunate. For the average person, it's much harder to take off weight than to put on weight. Even Alizee would love to have that problem.
If you aren't very muscular, that usually can be changed. Gyms are usually inexpensive. It's when they try and sign you up for 'coaches' that the price goes up, but here that is not a requirement, but something they want. Trust me there are ways to make this happen in a relatively inexpensive way, but it needs some drive on your part. Look at this performance of Idealiser during the SAGA show where Christophe Willeme sang her song. This guy is very thin, yet Alizee and those others around her were blown away by his performance.

Certainly the most menial, repetitive jobs will be targeted first for replacement. When you start talking about driverless cars and trucks, I don't think we are quite there yet. There is an unlimited number of situations a driver can find themselves in. The human mind would tend to make emergency decisions in favor of saving human lives. The robot mind might be programmed to make emergency decisions that favor the profitability of the company at the expense of human lives. Right there we would have an army of lawyers ready to sue if human lives are taken to save a payload. The socialist "guaranteed income" experiment is already being tested in Stockton, CA. There is much more to being a dignified human being than being part of a huge, worldwide nanny state. Work is what defines a person, especially men. Without work for the masses, there will be huge mental health issues to deal with, even if the government is providing basic necessities. I'm sure there is a plan already in place to deal with all these "useless eaters". The future looks bleak for most of humanity if the robots take over the earth, so to speak. Meanwhile, for the select who already own most of the assets of the world, they see the future as Utopian. Who knows how many billions are being invested in life extending technology, i.e. The God pill? The current crop of Silicon Valley billionaires don't want to die, but reign over their future Utopia.
