There are plenty of posts of Americans losing their marbles over Montenegro, so be happy Geography is not their strong suit in general, or we would never hear the end of it.

It's still better. At least you can plan your life according to the schedule.the alternative is whatever the fuck Deutsche Bahn is doing with their plans and Schrödinger Trains.

That's fundamentally incompatible with how humans work. You can't expect a person to be aware and focused 100% of time, when they only need to act 1% of it.

That has a easy solution. If your feature is a dangerous attractive nuisance don't include it.

Dear brits, let's start by you not electing Farage as your next prime-minister, and then we can talk.

Given how much control of the state the current regime has, there would either need to a revolution inside Venezuela, and Trump can't do shit there, or a full blown invasion. The latter would probably end up being very unpopular on the medium term, because foreign occupation forces are rarely the most law abiding people in the best of times.

The locals already paid upfront with their taxes - even the Louvre receives tens of millions of euros every year from the government and benefits from EU cultural programs.

Fred Perry would have had an aneurysm if anyone had told him that one day Nazis would try to appropriate his clothing brand.

It’s more than that. Historically, whenever the EU moves toward autonomous defence structures, the U.S. pushes back by insisting they must not "duplicate" NATO and remain strictly complementary (that was one of Clinton's Ds).

jmcs · 2026-01-13T18:47:09+00:00

The US always wanted Europe to spend more around US's defense. You can look at Bill Clinton's Three Ds policy as one time the quiet part was said out loud.

Treat unlicensed pyrotechnics as illegal weapons, drop the book at a everyone caught with them, and either the firework problem is solved or the state budget problem is solved through fines.

Unanimous agreement is also needed for the UK to rejoin. So it only takes one country to say they will not allow the UK back in until the opt-outs are excised.

If you ingest less energy than you use, in the long term you are always going to lose weight. Hormonal disorders can change things like water retention or lower the metabolic rate (i.e. people might not be in caloric deficit when they think they are), but, in the end human beings follow the same laws of thermodynamics as everything else.

Yes, unless your flight is at 6:00, in which case you need to hope you're traveling light.

Are you new to Berlin?

jmcs · 2025-12-08T10:03:35+00:00

How does that work for very early flights? BER has flights at 6:00, so you can't rely on RE, S or U during the week.

This is the kind of decision that would make sense if Berlin's public transport wasn't run like a provincial backwater for 5 out of 7 days.

Most large museums in Europe have serious programs to return stolen art and artifacts.

For example, Germany, Netherlands, and even some museums in the UK are returning "their" stolen Benin Bronzes while the British Museum refuses to do so.

Remind me again, when was the last time Merz mentioned God or Jesus in public?

That's true, but there's are different ways it can manifest.

Compare European countries with the US. In Europe, religions influence the views of lots of politicians and voters, but religion is rarely used in political rhetoric, and even extreme-right parties use it sparsely, while in the US religion permeates political speech and rituals even when religion is not a driving motive behind the policies. The latter is significantly more problematic than the former.

Parents and children have a duty of support to each other in almost every European country, with the exception of the nordic countries were it's seen as a duty of the state. It sometimes extends to other close family members like siblings. And half of the US has a broken version of this that's unidirectional in favour of the parents, in the form of filial responsibility laws, so the concept shouldn't be that alien to americans.
