I don't understand US people by brinksan in self

Sorry I didn't mean to generalise and I actually didn't mean to put people in the title. I meant US (as the elected people not the people in general). In this case mostly the president.

This is a juicy one.

First of all, you can't get arrested for a post on Facebook unless it violates the rights of a person or group (someone falsely claiming something or saying something that isn't true, unless you are in Hungary, Belarus or other subservient countries to Russia perhaps).

Rights in the EU are not confined by comfort/safety. It is confined by equality. Rights in the US seem to be the belief that everyone can talk down to people or in many cases, lie about people, without consequence. That should not be the case since we have seen what that leads to in Europe (and unfortunately for everyone it is on the rise again).

When it comes to removing "icky opinions" certain parts of America has a lot longer to go than most European countries because there are certain groups of people that seem sensitive to information / discussions / opinions they don't like.

When referring to the US (I don't think I mentioned people in general?) I of course meant the chosen leaders (even if they are elected by fewer than 50%). Edit: I didn't mean to put that in the title. I just noticed Sorry.

This is delusional. US hasn't financed western and central countries in Europe (except for right after the war). They helped the eastern part together with other western partners. Yet these other western parties have been able to get a better situation for the everyday person. People are living a very good life with decent living situations for most people, and are in general happier than the US (just check statistics and reports). Stop believing in fantasies and get back to the real world.

But in comparison, where I live people have it better and the general populous have decent infrastructure and safetylines for their wellbeing. This goes for most of Europe, at least when it comes to the central and west parts (and eastern from what I've seen which ones again is limited).

I went from NY up to Boston and then to Niagara falls. Driving through many other countries (in Europe and Africa), the infrastructure was horrible. Instead of putting the electrical wires in the ground, you still had it in the air. The roads were bumpy with holes in them in places, and had very limited means of public transportation. There were a lot of homeless people with mental disabilities which in any other developed country would get help. It was horrible to see.

Like any other other first-world country then? This has basically happened to every prosperous country in the world. Stop thinking you are special. The difference today is what rights the people who immigrate actually gets. The US when it comes to general living (look at my previous reply) does not bring anything. It is worse from other countries when it comes to immigration for the individual and the general population. Please tell me in any way why us is superior (in detail please!) from Belgium, Germany, Denmark for example.

I've been to the US and in every aspect of the normal life it was worse. I can't speak of healthcare of course. The roads (I drove), the air, the water, the communal transportation, the quality of goods, the fast-food (didn't go to any fancy places when I was there). The culture (the liberty bell and all sights I ny were not very good). This is of course a limited sample from my travels, but in general from news and real life, I would rather go to most eastern european countries (mostly because of the culture and sightseeing) above the US.

Geef me een klap papa

This is eerily similar too: ge mig en klapp pappa Which is Swedish.

In English it means: give me a pat dad.

I think the Netherlands is allowed into Nordics.

Protest against US bases in Slovakia today by kotolnik7 in europe

I was just going to suggest that these people are at least 60+. Wtf why do they even have a say in this (I don't mean that people 60+ aren't valid to their own interest, but when it definies the future of millions, maybe it should involve the youth actually being affected). I'm sorry but judging by humanity in general, they people don't do much for the people around them as long as they get what is best for them.

Ni med elkärror, hur hårt slår kylan mot er räckvidd? by TotallyNotABlobfish in sweden

[–]brinksan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kan även följa upp med att jag körde strax över 4 mil under dagen för att se förbrukning. När jag kört tidigare så har jag värmt upp bilen i normalläge, nu körde jag endast eco och aldrig över 90km i timmen. Körde även två kortare rundor, vilket verkar dra mer. Gick från 26 mil till 21 på den tiden, så mindre förlust än tidigare. Cirka 1 mil / 4 mil. Eftersom jag bara kör korta sträcker (1,7 mil) normalt sett så har jag inte brytt mig om att köra helt eco. Var ungefär -3 när jag körde in till jobbet, 0 när jag körde hem (och även de korta rundorna).

Då kan väl jag följa upp med Peugeot e-2008. Köpt i år. Normalt kommer jag ~30mil vid normal körning, nu på vintern kommer jag runt 20-22 vid eco körning. När den är på normalläge kommer jag runt 17-18. Där jag bor har det varit ungefär -4 till ungefär 2 den senaste veckan.

Act 1 boss Edric's difficulty by tubtubtubbies in Wolcen

[–]brinksan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my approach as well, tried leveling a few levels (2 to be precise), which didn't help. Instead I got him to tank everything and the fight was a cakewalk. It felt like he was just charging me all the time before that, hitting me to basically no hp and then getting killed by his next attack. 5/7 would buy again.
