Decisions have to be binding in some form. You can’t just do 5 and then randomly discard 4 and go with the one result you like.

Funny how that works though. As long as something doesn’t pass, you can try again as many times as you want but the moment something passes its a “done thing” and can’t be undone. Brexit is the example of the latter. Obviously a stupid and damaging decision that cannot be voted on again because “we already voted once.”

Who is wasting resources on this? Seems a bit pointless.

Also, I think its rather perverted that if someone makes it clear they want to be left alone/anonymous, the society/media declares “NO!” and goes to insane lengths to figure out who they are.

Same thing happened with Lordi, the Finnish metal band. When they won eurovision, the main guy said “I would appreciate if we could stay anonymous, or at least not have our real faces plastered all over.” So of course the largest gossip magazine in Finland felt the need to plaster his face on the cover of their stupid magazine.

Though that did lead to a funny thing… There was a “campaign” to boycott the magazine called “käännä Seiska” - “turn Seiska.” My friend didn’t get the full idea, since “käännä” is a slang for stealing. So he stole a bunch of those magazines from a shop, only realized he was supposed to turn them upside down not steal them, after he got home with a pile of Seiska magazines.

What credibility?

Mostly stuff relating to Ukraine. Though I do have some complaints about him with that as well. But on the whole he’s handled Ukraine related things agreeable.

Look up “brief aan de Nederlanders” ffom 2017.

I don’t speak Dutch so I’ll skip, I’ll take your word for it. I don’t respect him at all anymore, so there’s really not much to gain to go through translating that stuff.

Rutte has been burning his credibility in my eyes at a alarming rate.

I get that he needs to do at least some level of ass kissing towards the US but he does it with his tongue very far up in there and with a weird eagerness. I don’t understand what his strategy is with trump.

I support the Americans giving their money to the waiters and whatnot, I’d even encourage them to give their money to everyone they come across here.

I do not support normalizing tipping and cutting the pay of people.

“Norwegians and Polish people, I would like to inquire about the attitudes of your people towards immigrants”

“American here! Let me tell ya…”

:D

It is quite funny how I refreshed the page, saw this:

https://piefed.social/c/europe/p/1903466/its-stupid-why-western-carmakers-retreat-from-electric-risks-dooming-them-to-irrelevanc

and then saw a notification to your comment :D

Anyways, sorry that I ended the conversation abruptly and like a dick, I haven’t slept very well and having some other issues. I’ll see if I can make more sense tomorrow, I do have more to say about this, but not enough energy etc lol

Like I said, I was perhaps a bit too harsh with the original comment. I take back the dropping the ball part. I guess things are going well and good.

Perhaps my original comment was too doom, gloom and harsh. But you can’t really say the Euro car industry is doing well. VAG having factories running on minimum or not at all, lay offs, BMW shooting themself in the foot with all the subscription nonsense… And the price. That’s the big one. Obviously the cheaper chinese things are nastier than a high end BMW, obviously the chinese makers are subsidized by the government… but perhaps the Euro car makers should have lobbied their governments/EU to subsidize their EV production lines, instead of wasting time and effort on moving the 0 Carbon goalposts further away. Though I’ll admit that the EU was moronic with deciding that we should do that in the time window that they did, that whole thing was done ass backwards and on a too tight schedule.

Oh, no not those. Those were just spotted by happenstance

That would be a nice option too. Too bad those are not nearly as awful as oil/gas infra. They don’t even smell that badly.

My dad used to work in one, got to visit it a few times. Pretty interesting what people consider as “general rubbish”… Everything from false teeth to propane tanks… Luckily the system has a big magnet that pulls that shit out of there

Hear hear.

Its the only website in my adblocker whitelist.

That would make a proper British countryside idyll and proper British job’s in the same time. Wonderful!

Ironically Japanese brands are now the ones that are most behind on electric cars.

I’m not surprised that European brands have dropped the ball, after all, the British car makers back in the day showed how its done. But I’m baffled that the Japanese dropped it. How is it possible that the Nissan Leaf is among the best EV’s from Japan? How is it possible that Honda is completely lost with all sorts of things, they are nearly extinct on the European market as a whole. You have to really search for a dealer if you want one and if you find one, you have option of a Civic and whatever that SUV thing is, was it the Starion or Ecplipse? On of the two. Anyway…

Then theres Toyota. I guess they wasted all their money with hydrogen and only focused on hybrids. One would have thought that they would have been on the forefront of EV’s etc but… I don’t even know what was going on there. Do they even have full electric cars? Or is it just sporty Yarises and hybrid Corollas all the way down?

Set up a strategic oil and gas storage there instead.

Its such a weird thing to do. Especially when you click the translated link and it opens a page that is not translated. So if they think they are “helping” people who don’t know the language, how exactly does it help that they translate the title and half a sentence in the search results.

Who would have thought that burning a shit ton of fossil fuels in order to bomb oil and gas infrastructure would be bad for environment.

Dog I hate this world so much.

I guess its good that you didn’t give a click to wsws.org, no one should. But you’ll be pleased to hear that the title is bullshit

I love Ecosia because I love trees and will keep using them until I can afford kagi or something.

But one thing that drives me through the wall… If I search something in my native language, because I want results that are in my native language, google/bing (which ecosia uses) decides to translate reddit posts for me and Ecosia slaps them to the top of the results. Its rather annoying.
