Fine argument against people trying to have their 5th kid while barely taking care of nr 1 to 4, but it is bordering criminal to say people should be rich before being allowed (ethically) to have a child. In a proper society, no child is left behind. Housing, food, education are basic human rights, and you’re making it sound okay for those things to only be available to wealthy people. Trying to forge late stage capitalism justification.

Nee, täuscht nicht, meiner Meinung nach nehmen Motorradfahrer deutlich viel mehr Risiko im Verkehr. Sehr viele “Unfälle” mit Motorrad sind Leopards ate my face Situationen. Viele Motorradunfälle sind keine Unfälle, es sind nur die Folgen von riesigen Selbstüberschätzung und Dummheit.

What Brits actually look like

I’m reading this while sitting in a rather new electric Renault Zoë where the windows in the back are manual!

With those other good options the building owners are often against. They fear damage to building from roots or plants attaching directly to the facade, although there are many plants where that’s not an issue

The french have always been very chauvinist about their language. They do not like English, as they view french as an equally great world language. It was likely somehow obligated to have an English version, and subsequently a somewhat conscious choice by some employees or board of directors to not keep it stocked as well as the French version.

Also, it is over tourism. There are so many tourists people are sick of them. It’s not a french but a human thing. I’ve seen “touris raus” in Berlin too… The downside of raising housing prices etc are by a significant part of population valued more than the economic advantage of more local consumption (and I get that).

It’s not so black and white. Yes asshole behaviour. But also: the sidewalk is very narrow, there are many shops, people living in the neighborhood are likely to not have any garden or tiny balconies etc. The (other) real culprit is the street designer / city planner. You can see on the other side of the street that despite it being a very narrow, multimodal busy place… they did NOT sacrifice all (free?) streetside parking in favour of more “living space” for pedestrians. Likely recorded during heat wave, with unlivably overheated Appartments and not enough trees/parks in the area…

Wish I had the balls to scratch a little penis in the paintwork with my keys.

What I really do is make a picture (with visible license plate and added points for having a person in wheelchair with a sad face next to it) and send it to the city…

Does it matter who’s driving? It’s your car tank. Registered to your name. If you give the keys to someone else, you’re still responsible… unless you report it stolen. Is that really not a thing in Poland???

When I see a drunk driver not able to hold a lane I feel threatened and I remember that literally forever… It must be down to mediacoverage, ads etc, because also while driving on the roads you see fucking dangerous shit all the time

500 € is the cheaper side of decent new bikes… Inflation is a bitch. Still, you can’t even buy only the tires of many cars for that price. It’s dirt cheap to cycle.

Bigger expectations = bigger disappointment

For me GTA peaked with the originals in 1997-1999 and had a nice little comeback in 2013. Hyperreality is not what I need in games…

99% of packaging that mentions "high protein!! have way less protein than various unprocessed nuts…

It shouldn’t be allowed to be pirated, it should just become open source/society’s property by default in that case. You don’t want to sell your digital only item or maintain it’s platform anymore? Fine, now everyone can have it.

I can’t give you a specific economists answer, but a general geopolitical one.

US $ is very valuable because USA rules the seas and the skies, with military and trade. Because USA is a massive economic powerhouse, industrially and specifically military industry. It’s also valuable because it is considered a very stable country and currency.

Trump undermines it ALL. An unused threatening jet and bomber carrying fleet just drifting in the Persian gulf able to strike anywhere was worth much more than a failed attempt to overthrow Iran government… A steadily increasing state debt is fine while economy and trade grows and if the debt is taken to increase a country’s infrastructure, Trump undermines it with tariffs and “investments” in his ballroom etc.

Bond buyers don’t necessarily expect to be paid back. The bond is a tradeable item on its own.

Bitcoin is shit in many ways, but no single orange madman can steer its value like he can the USD. There is imo basically a pretty strong correlation by now between *coin and gold/silver. Both are considered “always valuable”, especially in times of geopolitical and economic unpredictability. Bitcoin rises because many people consider it a safe haven. Wether that’s really so doesn’t matter as long as many people believe it. The same goes for gold or USD: it boils down to collective perception of the item. Trump has been pretty bad news the last 8 months for the USD in that regard. The less people trust in USA as a stable strong country and USD as a stable strong currency, the higher the price of public debt becomes: would you want to loan your capital to Trump and his policies? I wouldn’t. High ups in large international financial market players think increasingly similarly.
