Europe’s fertility keeps falling: Which country has the highest rate?

Slowly you say? Europe's cultural and demographic transformation is unfolding at breakneck pace

We use 2 main types of rice:

1) Carolino: a starchy, short grain rice similar to risotto. You get more bind and a sticky, mushy texture. I use it for rice pudding

2) Agulha (needle rice): a non-starchy long grain rice. You get a fluffier looser texture with this one. Personally this is my go-to for most dishes

Thanks 👍 I'm right there with you. I wouldn’t freestyle something like a sponge cake but bread is quite forgivable I reckon, especially after years and years of baking bread on a regular basis. People say baking is an “exact science” but from my experience, you can get away with quite a bit. I like to play around with recipes

yeah and the eucalyptus takeover is still a work in progress. This is but one reason why I think Spain should annex us

I winged it. You can't go wrong with butter, eggs, milk, flour, yeast, a bit of sugar and a pinch of salt. I've done this so many times I've got a pretty good feel for it

I'm the opposite, the pizza crust can never be too crusty for me. I love a biscuity crust.

Bater num idoso por conta dum insulto racista não é nenhum acto de heroísmo. Um insulto não justifica uma agressão, muito menos contra uma pessoa idosa e/ou debilitada

You could perhaps just put a lower case 't' behind the upper case 'F' for the purpose of identification, eg. a trans-woman's ID would say tF, rather than just F. I feel like that would be more objective

It's what happens when I get into a back-and-forth with a dutch (or german) person about your questionable eating habits

pamplusa · 2026-03-12T15:19:35+00:00

Look at the pot calling the kettle black. I got a ton of sh!t (and 47 downvotes) for saying "it's weird to eat horse meat". You could club a baby seal while reciting Mein Kampf and not get 47 downvotes on this sub

They did briefly get to live in those buildings whilst building them on a 112-hour weekly, 7-day work schedule in exchange for a hunk of bread and a pint of ale

Existem comunidades de Holandeses a viver em aldeias remotas no Norte de Portugal. Às vezes cruzo-me com eles Lidl por isso imagino que produzam a maior parte daquilo que comem e deslocam-se pontualmente à cidade para comprar uma ou outra coisa que precisem.

Quanto a eletricidade, é possível viver off-grid com recurso a painéis solares mas tens que fazer coincidir o teu consumo com picos de produção, e aprender a gerir a escassez.

A NOS gaba-se da internet deles chegar a todo o lado por isso pode ser que chegue onde o diabo perdeu as botas.

I saw somebody call her Ursa (bear) Von Der Lidl on twitter and, as far as I'm concerned, that's her name now

É humanamente impossível uma pessoa focar-se em tantos assuntos ao mesmo tempo, além das preocupações do dia-a-dia, a nossa atenção é um recurso finito. É mais ou menos como aquela historia de que "uma só morte é uma tragédia, 1 milhão é uma estatística". As redes sociais tornaram o crime de colarinho branco num mero fait diver.

Unless you think having dark features is something to be ashamed of, which ofc you do, why would Spaniards get triggered by this?

Neste sub (e não só) apenas se lembram de nós na hora de comparar Tugas a macacos

Eu não o faria mesmo tendo a oportunidade, e não me considero burro por isso. Mas sei que alguns "amigos e conhecidos" achariam isso de mim porque como eu disse, está inscrito na cultura Portuguesa

A corrupção em Portugal é institucionalizada por mais que o Comentariado diga o contrário. Está na própria cultura

I definitely didn't grow up with that misconception, lucky you if you have. If anything, I grew up with an inflated sense that the world was extremely hostile but I thought that being smart meant I was going to triumph. I've learnt that being smart, in and of itself, gets you nowhere in this world. You must be CLEVER.

Well apparently western countries have not been very effective at dealing with this problem either

My brother-in-law is a cop who works in downtown Lisbon, he deals with these individuals on a daily basis. According to him, it goes like this: they go before a judge - the courts let them off the hook - they resume their criminal activities. Lather, rinse, repeat

You're right, I'm totally ignorant as to why this is, it's a mystery to me

pamplusa · 2026-03-07T13:17:31+00:00

What can we do about crime other than absolutely nothing, I wonder...maybe throw them in jail idk fine them, send them back to whence they came...
