  • But we’re not sub-selecting here. A death from distraction by a phone is as bad as a death from impatiently running a red or tailgating in an SUV.

    I personally think larger cars are at fault more as I see more of them tailgating to push drivers to go faster - I’m big, get out of my way - but like you, that’s an impression from driving without data to back it up (albeit 40+ years of driving over 3 continents)

  • Note the € sign - it’ll be nearly as expensive and you’ll only find 2-3 flavors if you’re lucky (US expat in NL)

    Op: Brew your own tea and make your own. Or reduce it by half and add it as a concentrate to fizzy water if you need the bubbles. Also, equal parts sugar and water, low heat in a saucepan until reduced by ⅓-½ and you’ve got sugar syrup. That lasts in the fridge forever, and you can make it as sweet or not as you’d like.

  • Agreed. We paid no attention to Trump and he’s spearheading these groups. You need to be vigilant from the start or else they’ll continue thinking you’re weak. Any corrective actions later seem like overreach and then they only gain MORE ground.

  • Name one in the modern time.

    The guy before me keeps changing my position to secure his point, but no - more isn’t any better than no choice. We have to choose for people with a plan, not a platform, and one that works for all of us and not at the expense of any of us (because one day they’ll come for you).

  • One would hope that through conversation we’d have more reasoned information but it appears camping on a platform is where people go to “win”.

    We’ve dozens of parties trying to win to form a coalition, so sheer numbers don’t help. You can easily argue that our politics have grown stale and ineffective here in the recent years, and there’s a growing need for change.

    For instance we’ve already had a few elections where a farmers collective party and the far right party have won their elections, but immediately afterwards (sometimes within a day, as in the farmers (BBB)) they’ve abandoned key parts of the platform that helped get them elected. Or their positions are so vile that no other party will work with them.

    I’d argue that there are the side effects of taking a position first and wanting change at any cost. This is the cost - only more stagnation.

    My point is “more” does not mean “better” - often, it’s just more of the same. Vote for and demand “Better”.
