  • How do I do that?

  • I'm pretty sure I've seen this video a few months ago. Does anyone have more info on how the story developed?

  • That's not how a free job market is supposed to work.

  • I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.

  • That's why the method is called carrot and stick!

  • It's definitely not generally cheaper in Germany if you only need to move regional. But I'm interested in a comparison with any other country. I guess an urban area would be a requirement for a fair comparison.

  • Yeah we should. I guess younger people already do.

  • Well that's just from my perception in the Rhineland region in the 90s and 2000s.

    Of course, we used mainly other terms like Dübel, Tüte or Sportzigarette.

    How would you differ?

  • "What seems to work best is a carrot-and-stick approach—creating positive reasons to take a bus or to cycle rather than just making driving harder."

    I guess this is why we shouldn't only play the "fuck cars" tune but also include melodies like "we love to bike" and "public transport is fun" 😉

  • To be fair, that's just what's called a joint in Germany. Maybe a 70/30 ratio of tobacco to weed.

  • I read an article recently about kids not spending much time outdoors anymore. One of the main reasons not mentioned here seems to be that the majority has nice rooms for themselves at home, and they enjoy the time they spend there.

    Kids rooms are a lot nicer nowadays, and often they don't need to share it with a sibling as they might have 30 years ago. Also the amount of toys has risen, I suppose.

    Not that this is entirely a good thing. Children need to spend more time outdoors. But let them enjoy their indoor time if they want to.

  • Crazy that he killed himself out of shame for occasionally smoking a joint and "other illegal drugs". Sure, it's a broad description and there could be harder drugs involved. But I can't get my head around the fact that in Hollywood, he probably just would have booked himself into rehab.

  • Wednesday’s rally occurred in the aftermath of the previous day’s explosion at al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza, which killed hundreds of civilians. Israel was originally blamed for the strike, but US and Israeli officials have contested that report, saying it was more likely a failed rocket fired by a militant group within Palestine.

  • Yet on the other hand, he says EU should hurry up at expanding and integrate Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and others.

    I don't understand how expanding EU is contradicting the headline. Care to explain?
