I worked on preventing it.

Pro birth. After that the kid can die for all they care.

That is the weirdest generalization I’ve ever read.

Houses are built differently all throughout Europe. Trees were planted at different times, with different varieties. Sweden has huge swathes of pine, where I live it’s mostly oak and beech. A lot of that pine is fairly young while the forest near me is hundreds of years old. Hell, Wales has an ancient rain forest.

There is no such thing as a European anything.

He’s like a blackmailer.

There is no such thing as ‘a European’ woodland.

Screaming when sneezing is unnecessary and obnoxious.

My employer gives everyone an annual public transport ticket for commuting.

Depends. If you’re in a tropical area they could just be part of the local wildlife.

None. I’d be happy with seeing and hearing properly.

Didn’t seem to stop them a couple of years ago.

Nope.

Why are the farmers not in uproar about this? Usually there are tractor blocked roads for the most minor things.

I memorized them. ‘I didn’t feel like it’ was not an option. We did times tables every morning, everyone knew them after a while.

It’s a fucking disgrace. The EU’s digital laws are barely anything anyway and the sustainability rules should be stronger, not weaker.

In the Netherlands you don’t even get the cremains back. I have no idea where most of my dead relatives are. In Germany you get them back, but you must bury them. Putting them on the mantlepiece is not an option.

My car is from 2005 and is definitely better than new cars. No touch screens, low maintenance, no subscriptions.

Go oooooon.

Love from Germany (former Brandenburg).

I want mobile phones with actual keyboards back. I hate touch screen keyboards with the passion of a thousand suns and I swear they’re getting worse.

The fact that you’re quoting Goebbels pretty much explains your entire comment.

I have an English Master’s and my wife has a PhD in Comp Sci. Guess who sets up all the techie stuff. That’ll be meeeee.

PS fuck Facebook’s feed. I found out about a friend’s death 2 weeks after she died (her parents couldn’t get at her address book so they posted with her account on Facebook instead). I had to tell her other friends because NOBODY had seen the post.
