Honestly, the only time local politicians should dabble in foreign politics is when they look at what works in other countries and why.
Other than that, I don't care about their stance on foreign affairs. I need them to make sure the public pools, parks and libraries get financed, the bike lane gets built and the trains run on time. I'm not expecting the mayor of my city no negotiate peace deals with Russia ffs.
I hear he was good friends with Jeffrey Epstein, the rapist, sex trafficker and overall piece of shit. One of his closest friends even, as indicated by his inclusion in a book of birthday wishes for Epstein. His name appears in the Epstein files thousands of times. There are dozens of photos showing the two of them together.
The "3rd world" term is ancient. I learned about it in school, but that was almost 30 years ago and even then, this way of classifying countries was outdated. The world isn't split in two like this - at least not anymore.
Understandable. Why would you negotiate with someone while he openly shows such disrespect? If he wants that war to end, he should probably show some humility.
It's not like we're fining Google for fun or because we hate America. We have rules and Google broke them.
Remember how they disabled all the online services for the judge from the International Criminal Court because Trump didn't like her and put her on the sanctions list like a terrorist? Email, gone. Google account, gone. Credit cards, gone. (https://www.theguardian.com/law/2026/feb/18/international-criminal-court-icc-judges-trump-sanctions)
No thanks. We as individual Europeans should depend as little as possible on US services. And our society as a whole should also try to minimize its dependency on US tech. The US government is openly committing war crimes against its enemies already. Why would they hesitate to make use of their tech kill switch if it ever seemed benefitial to them? Trump doesn't care about promises or contracts, he'll fuck you over the moment he can benefit from it.
This used to be my personal first world problem, but then I learned to embrace the chaos and stopped caring where the chocolate breaks.
Meinetwegen. Solange ich nicht mit meinen Steuergeldern das Autofahren subventionieren muss, ist mir das recht.
Ich hab noch nie einen "Fahrrad-Rabatt" bekommen, obwohl es das nachhaltigere Verkehrsmittel ist, weniger klimaschädlich, leiser, weniger stinkt, die Luft weniger verpestet, keinen riesen Parkplatz in der Stadt braucht, keine Staus produziert, weniger Verkehrstote verursacht, Städte lebenswerter macht, keine Tiere überfährt, keine Straßen abnutzt usw.
Daher bin ich - hoffentlich verständlicherweise - immer etwas genervt, wenn die Regierung mal wieder verlangt, dass meine Steuern an Autofahrer ausgeschüttet werden sollen, deren Abgase ich dann auf dem Weg zur Arbeit einatmen darf. Ist die Fahrt in der klimatisierten gepolsterten, luftgefilterten und schallgedämmten Kapsel nicht Belohnung genug?
Ich finde es gut, Motive aus der Natur zu wählen. Ich finde aber, die Honigbiene hätte einen eigenen Schein verdient wegen ihrer Rolle als Bestäuber. Und vielleicht einen Schein mit einer Weizenähre drauf, wegen Brot.
As a non soccer fan, I don't get it. Why don't we like Argentina? Don't they have a pretty strong team?
This is adorable
Do not mistake confessing your feelings with flirting. Those are two entirely different things.
