Having lived in Utrecht, yes all those stores in the picture, completely empty, also all the people on bikes are happy to finally have the chance to sit after spending their day in a house without furniture.

Pro tip: give more compliments and see how other people react.

To quote Not Just Bikes: “the USA wasn’t built for cars, it was destroyed for cars”

Most cities in the US were walkable and public transport oriented, but in the fifties all livable neighborhoods and city centers were bulldozed to make place for parking lots and arterial roads.

Core memory resurfaced from the playground near my late grandma’s house.

Ben-Gvir: It’s time for a true solution to Gaza.

Biden:

He said there was overwhelming support in part because they lost control of the narrative on Israel, the only addition to the headline needed is to add the word:

… ban partially intended to ….

If Romney is so afraid of people loosing track of the “realities” on the ground maybe they should consider banning cable news next.

What a hill to die on. They banned Russia; it would have been such an easy and consistent decision to ban Israel too, especially when they started deliberately starving Palestinian civilians. Can’t wait for the PR response the moment this Genocide becomes officially recognized, “wir haben es nicht gewusst“ 2.0

Now don’t criticize Biden, don’t you know he is literally running against Hitler.

(Yes I know Trump is worse than Biden, and no I don’t advocate for not voting)

A party is a party, I’ve said way worse cringe under the influence of alcohol, especially if I was flirting with someone (which it sounds like she is).

Reading the Wikipedia it seems quite unlikely, but then again maybe it’s also written by a bot.

Without US support Israel would cease to exist within a year, so the US can do whatever it pleases. Second, the investigation does not need to be performed by a military but can also be done by neutral observers.

I once had a lecture from him and he is a great orator. Sadly turned out he did some #metoo shit with female students.

I’m not a fan of American foreign policy at all, but following the European news lately I don’t know if our governments can be trusted without the US providing security.

I fear that the moment European nations need to be serious about their own defense they become way less trustful of their neighbors, creating all the incentives for an arms race. Especially with the current crop of nationalist politicians it’s not hard to imagine a serious cool down in the relationship between a France and a Germany lead by Le Pen and the AFD (in a coalition government or not). In such a world it’s suddenly way less pleasant to be a smaller nation that can not seriously compete with Germany or France.

I really hope I’m wrong and that we truly learned the lesson from the second word war, but I think not needing to provide our own security plays at least a role in the relative peace within the EU member states.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck; it is not a duck.

Biden is creating lots of blue-collar jobs at the crocodile-tear factory.

I know there are a lot of upper-class Tories with a stick up their ars that voted Brexit, but if I think of a Brexit voter this is what I see.

I wouldn’t care if it looked like a giant cock and balls if I had a dedicated high-speed-rail station in my city. It also looks like it has serious capacity with three separate approaching rail corridors.

Hey America, ruin our economy further you c*nts, it’s really appreciated.

Kind regards, The Netherlands

Manager: hey I know it’s something you haven’t worked with before, but I’m sure you’ll figure it out with some googling.

Me 30 minutes later:

They might be extreme protesters, but the gist of the article still stands. I live in Berlin and visit the Netherlands often, the silence in Berlin on this issue (compared to the Netherlands) is honestly chilling. You hardly see any protests or statements of support for Palestine, and the only protest I saw (a remembrance for the flower massacre) was rounded up by the police within minutes.

On top of that I’ve heard way worse statements at the farmers protests a few months ago, but no articles on how they get the full police-state treatment.
