My apologies, I didn't know about this. https://hir.harvard.edu/true-sovereignty-the-cfa-franc-and-french-influence-in-west-and-central-africa/

The Macron-Ouattara announcement represents a needed reform. But it is just one of many that needs to happen. Going forward, the challenge will be to keep the benefits of the CFA franc monetary zone, namely a stable currency and low inflation, while transitioning to a new institutional system away from France. A monetary system that holds a former colonial power as the guarantor, regardless of announcements or agreements, will always ultimately fail to eradicate neocolonialism.

Are you talking about Overseas France? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_France

Overseas regions have exactly the same status as France's mainland regions.

Seems similar to Puerto Rico, Samoa and the others https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territories_of_the_United_States

The French love to riot and protest the govt. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incidents_of_civil_unrest_in_France.

The British frequently review and criticise it's past actions https://www.jstor.org/stable/2637720

Of course, we also acknowledge the Norman and Roman invasions of Britain, but it happened so long ago we don't expect the Italians or French to apologise about it now..

Fellow Servicemembers, Veterans, and all Americans, TIME TO WAKE UP! We are being led by weak and feckless leadership who only serve to enrich themselves

...

We are crumbling because of a lack of self respect, morales, and respect for others. Greed and gluttony has consumed us. The top 1% decided long ago they weren’t going to bring everyone else with them. You are cattle to them

Aren't routers usually provided with random default passwords these days?

It could be a picture from 100 years ago if it wasn't for the satellite dish.

Although that's assuming the telegraph pole is delivering electricity, so maybe only 50 years ago.

Penny Dreadfuls and Pulp Magazines are examples of low quality fiction. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_dreadful

For me at least, reading generally takes more effort for me than just doom scrolling, where I honestly just look at the pictures and captions.

What is he wearing? It looks to me like a hoody in a weird material.

Edit: looks like it's traditional. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2RETBDR/man-and-woman-in-traditional-dress-holsteinborg-greenland-inuit-eskimo-sissimiut-2RETBDR.jpg
