Visiting the Austrian alps makes American mountain environments feel downright podunk. What do you mean this beautiful alpine highway has a grade separated, paved bike path? And high frequency bus service to the swimming lake? Meanwhile we almost crashed in colorado because the road washed out.

The average Dane pays a tax rate of 45%. There’s no society on earth where taxing the rich is enough to provide all these services, the middle class is gonna have to pony up a lot too.

Maybe it’s better in the bigger cities, but Germany seems to dedicate more space to smoking than it does for kids. The multiple plush, branded smoking lounges at the airport made the red mist descend a bit.

And this is why the Soviet economy was so fucked.

I dunno, if you get mad and slip into holocaust fantasy, I think it probably does represent you. Perhaps fucking off a bit and working on your deficient character would be wise.

fake brit, it's called Cluedo over there

I don’t have the stamina to stay up past midnight. I will be angry if i wake up and Argentina won.

Glad Fernandez got that red card. Deserved.

These Argentine players just cannot play cleanly huh?

“Don't bother about being modern. Unfortunately it is the one thing that, whatever you do, you cannot avoid.” Salvador Dali

One trip through Frankfurt airport will really dispel any myths about German efficiency and order.

Fair.

“Metro brained” is the saddest comeback attempt by the car brained. Oh, I like cities? The thing humanity has been enthusiastically creating for thousands of years? Wow, I am *so* owned.

“Car me car brained if you want” “Okay, you’re car brained” “THINK OF THE FARMERS!” Car people are so fucking dumb.

You’re car brained.

I see we’re just straight up assuming that all disabled people can drive.

Oh man, new insane Argentine talking point just dropped.

Absolutely wild that this is their defense of “parking meters are ecofascism“.

Still genuinely baffled why someone bought KSP2 and doesn’t seem to be doing anything with it?

Terminal car brain. Untreatable.

It must be really disorienting to Israel defenders to try their usual line and have it just not work at all. Because nobody is falling for this anymore.

From discord “Well I see the average hornet pilot IQ is not much higher irl than DCS”

The current oil shock also guarantees that this’ll happen faster and be even harder to reverse for oil selling interests like the US.

Also, if one paid attention to fascists, one would notice that they’re generally fans of driving vehicles dangerously with impunity. Fascists genuinely hate speed cameras!

Why are the British like this?

This cope is getting pathetic at this point. Learn to actually see reality Brian. These areas are overwhelmingly red.

Fun fact, “soccer” is the original English word for the sport.

I see that we’re still promising to find and kill Glonzo.

Terminal software engineering brain. Environmental stuff isn’t something you can patch in production with a device. You gotta do the hard work up front to do it right.

At this point, the trend of pro-LLM voices who just cannot read is starting to factor into my thinking.

Ah, a classic sign someone has clearly lost the argument and knows it. A demand to meet up in person, internet tough guy style.

Car brain is something to behold isn’t it?

It’s bad that a news editor cannot read a damned chart.

At least it started raining before I started my bike ride.

So … significantly less free time than I have. Cool.

Oh boy. I dunno if this ceasefire is gonna hold.

I might, were I to be especially generous, accept the notion that people were hoodwinked. Credulous media, the toxic ecosystem of social media, their moronic peers. Sure. However, to be so disastrously easy a mark is a dire moral failing of its own kind.

What kind of idiot puts that much capex in an unstable region?

If I claim that atheism was founded by John Atheism in 1927, this is still a stupid mistake even if I am not an atheist.

What exactly is the point of the NYT if you don’t think they should report on stuff?

The professor here struggling with the concept of linear time.

Arco, Idaho was kind of a dump.

It’s really bizarre seeing the media describe normal military stuff as “asymmetrical” and “insurgency”. Not beating any charges of fighting the last war.

Fun fact, the ”Idaho stop” is known to be much safer for cyclists, since it reduces their time in the intersection.

It’s true that it’s in everything now, but it’s still really funny that nobody can actually prove it’s useful. They *feel* it’s useful, but we know for certain that some tools can objectively slow you down while making it feel like they’re not. The lack of hard evidence remains interesting

It is really remarkable seeing someone try and play the antisemitism card when they’re caught talking out of both sides of their mouth.

The projection is interesting.

Aha, but what if gender is actually a split 120v system, or three phase?

Kinda weird to see the press fighting the previous war. Uniformed military personnel using ranged fires are not an insurgency.

Fun game is to imagine this exact attitude towards somewhere other than Canada.
