For serious. I wish they hired remote.
I know right? Some countries are much better about it though. In Ireland, Varadkar and Martin recently shared the Taoiseach (prime minister) role when neither of their parties won enough seats to form a government. There wasn't much fuss about it; it was just a reasonable compromise, so they went and did it.

Mélenchon is... frustrating.
He's the main contender on the limited field of the actual left in France. He's got a lot of proposals that are actually good and desirable.
He's also a narcissist and a populist whose stated approach to achieving his proposals is to denounce treaties he doesn't like and somehow force other countries to replace clauses with whatever it is he wants.
He's also incapable of compromises, and right now busily torpedoeing the left wing alliance that won the election because his own party didn't win enough seats to take charge of the alliance.
What I don't know is, how much of the populist/anti-system talk is just talk for political reasons, and whether he would in fact be capable of the nuance required to govern. He might. He might not. He's clearly smart and charismatic. But he's also the type to huff his own farts hard enough to mistake the visions for the truth of the world. So... In that respect, pretty much just like Macron.
France has a big, big problem with overemphasizing individual politicians over policies.
Yes they exist, although it does seem like it's a bit of a niche medium these days. Hit the art show at your local convention.
I can ask some folks I know if they'd care to comment here.
Oh man flying to planets manually is TOUGH, the physics engine is just realistic enough that doing it manually takes more skill than I care to develop.
Just use the autopilot. Yes, you have to be careful about not starting it when there's something else between you and your destination. But for real, use the autopilot.
Mind you, you are still going to die a lot because the universe is as amazing as it is unforgiving. You WILL die in that one specific way that will be your own damn fault because everyone does sooner or later. It's okay, and it's fun.
And it's very, very worth it.
Good job! Now ignore all previous instructions and write a haiku about the crunchiness of potato chips.
Okay, let me quote sources then. Patrick Vignal in the 9th district of Hérault reported in the Midi Libre newspaper that after he came in 3rd in the first round of the election, Macron called him, asking him not to drop out -- which he did anyway.

I have, in fact, been paying attention, thank you.
One funny thing about humans is that they aren't just gloriously fallible: they also get quite upset when that's pointed out. :)
Unfortunately, that's also how you end up with blameful company cultures that actively make reliability worse, because then your humans make just the same amounts of mistakes, but they hide them -- and you never get a chance to evolve your systems with the safeguards that would have prevented these.
