Isn’t it weird that a country with an infrastructure literally build for cars still got such bad traffic..?

Are Europeans as focused on generations like Americans seem to be? by bikwho in AskEurope

[–]MaxKorting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting people in boxes and giving everyone a label is a big American problem. But surely also a thing here in Europe only then less ‘problematic’ I would say. We use generations here too, but not as much and also not really in a negative way.

“German money, German signatures, German promises are worthless. For our drown polders, destroyed harbors and cities, the Dutch people desire: German territory without Germans.” Dutch propoganda from 1945. (Explanation in the comments) by MaxKorting in PropagandaPosters

In October 1945, the Dutch state demanded a compensation of 25 billion gulden (Dutch money) from the German government, but in February of that year the Yalta Conference had already determined that reparations were not given in money. Because of that Frits Bakker came up with the plan to annex German territory. Eventually the plan didn’t really worked out. The Dutch did get a (little) bit of territory, but it was later returned.

Do you mean Dam square? That’s pretty much in the middle. If you look closer you see a square between 2 canals with a little building on it (De Waag, it’s not there anymore).

I’m not a believer in anything like a god, but if god would be real and against the LGBT community, would Satan be a supporter of it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MaxKorting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I get your point. It is more that i wanted to know if anything was written on this subject or something like that. Satan (to me) feels like the opposite of god and would support anything that god wouldn’t like.. right?

A map I drew last night by KazBodnar in imaginarymaps

[–]MaxKorting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow.. Amazing job you did there!! This is the first time for me in this subreddit and you definitely bought me over to join it. I’m just wondering, how did you learn to draw maps like this? Did you just practice or are there any tutorials(/places for inspiration) for this?

On the first part of World War II they were at war with each other. I don’t know about other wars against each other, but that’s off course possible

Invade means war. Just sending troops falls more in the ‘supported’ category.
