ECB

Nothing I love more than multilingual movies where different groups speak different languages.

Language barriers (and overcoming them) is such a huge part of everyday life for much of the world's population.

The value of the stock (which is outrageously overvalued) is solely down to musk's personality cult. So now that it's been announced that he should be "leaving government and going back to his companies" it led to a stock jump, since his presence is the only reason that the stock is worth a lot in the first place.

The issue is that Musk often sounds convincing when he talks about things you don't really know much about, and there are a LOT of investors who have a lot of money but don't really know much about anything.

I'm not sure if it's a big reason, but one thing I noticed when living in the UK is that it seemed to be much easier for local landowners to block things from being built compared to other countries I've lived in.

I feel like the Thames path through London was kind of representative of that. I feel like anywhere else it would be a normal walking path along the river, but instead it has big gaps, sections that are private, or even some which are closed certain days.

Just the fact that they wanted to make HS2 go UNDERGROUND through large parts of the countryside was a wild idea.

Both were really intense for me, but Jurassic Bark can't be topped (personally)

The physical design was somewhat similar but if you look at old footage from cities you'll see that walking on the street was completely normal.

There didn't yet exist this idea that we have to leave 80% of the street exclusively for cars.

I'm well aware, but I prefer more light in the afternoon than in the early morning.

Having the middle of the day at 1 PM is nicer year-round

I'm genuinely confused how you think that these two examples of internal uprisings are at all connected to someone saying effectively "don't count on international law to mean anything since there isn't any body to enforce it"

Als ein Freund von mir meinem kleinen, ländlichen Heimatdorf in den USA besucht hat:

"So, do you have doors in Germany?"

The feed/social network bit is useless, but it's (sadly) by far the best job-search tool for my industry (tech).

I always try to use other platforms, but my last 3 jobs have all been found through linkedin. This across various European countries, if that helps as a reference point.

Huh, Süd was always my favorite

I did visit a Nord once and it was surprisingly unpleasant

I guess you visited vienna?

Germany is actually trending the other way. Modern Parlaments have more parties than they did in the past.
