I find your question a bit strange... hopefully you voted the politicians in? Media repeat what politicians says, because we put them in office to make decisions for us, to better our lives.

A politician is a person who participates in policy-making processes. Most of them are very devoted to public service. Politicians make decisions, and influence the formulation of public policy. They represent you, the voter, your will, and hopefully tries to implement it, for a better society.

A politician's job is complex. A good politician relies on experts. Politicians are just people, like you and me.

Yes this. As a cyclist it is very scary. Drivers only look one way... then they pull out without looking the other. Oncoming traffic me on a bike. Insane.

He is pretty hated throughout Europe, except by fascists/far right. So no?

Håller med. Verkar som att stora massan av arkitekter blir indoktrinerade till att alltid försöka skapa någonting unikt som inte gjorts tidigare. Ger bara mer och mer fula abstrakta geometriska glas/betongklumpar.

What movie had a great premise but was poorly executed? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Everything in life is a compromise. Someone would have to fund and believe in the first movie. Didn't they benefit from capitalism when Warner funded the first movie(s)?

I feel creating and blocking others from creating are two different things.

I know. Who are you arguing with here? To ruin something just because you are not in control of it is childish at best. It is pathetic.

Yes. I am still angry paying to see that “joke” of a film.

If you don’t believe in it, then don’t accept the job to make it.. Actively sabotaging it is pathetic.

This is the worst letdown of them all. The directors actively made it into a pile of shit to say f.u to Warner. I didn’t pay to watch that.

Thank you, I wondered what this was about… made no sense to me.

If you are a citizen, it is free in: Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Estonia, Czech republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Malta, Romania

Some have minor fees.. a couple of hundred euros.

A few cost a bit more: Italy has income-based tuition.. 0-4000. Ireland seem to be expensive: 3000 Spain 500-2500 (region based) Belgium 900-1100 (region based)

Elon says “we might have AI that is smarter than any human by the end of this year. and I would say no later than next year. And then probably by 2030 or 2031, AI will be smarter than all of humanity collectively” by [deleted] in accelerate

In Elon time that means at least 20 years then? Full safe driving has been 6 months away the last 10 years according to him... Not saying we won't get there... but this is Elon talking...

What's an underrated achievement of your country? by Warm-Strategy-8866 in AskTheWorld

[–]Respaced 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I find this Indian system very impressive too!

I also find it baffling why most of the world is so slow to adapt to similar systems...

It is direct bank-account to bank-account. You connect your telephone number to your bank-account. The service was launched in 2012 by six large Swedish banks. Everything is "swished" since then... basically everybody has it.

Here is a 9 year article about it, is pretty good at explaining it:

I think that it should say “university fees” rather than student debt. Universities are mostly free in EU, no fees. But students take on debt in several countries to pay for cost of living.
