Aside from London (where I didn't really talk to anyone but my sister who lives there), I spent 2 weeks traveling solo by train around England, staying in Bath, Shrewsbury, York and Scarborough and visiting some of the surrounding towns and villages. I'm sure it helped that it's a country where I have a good grasp of the local language unlike, say, Italy, where I could barely make myself understood. But I had lots of random friendly conversations with strangers in the UK and no negative experiences at all. Way more friendly than the average German for sure.
Big-city people are generally less friendly, so I do believe you that it's a different matter for London. It's the same for e.g. Tokyo, where people are way more cold than in the rest of Japan. And I guess you get a different perspective as a local than as a visitor. Several people in this thread have mentioned Germany, which does surprise me as a German.
It will have an effect on other countries, but fuck up the US economy the worst. Other countries have the benefit of having 190+ other countries to do trade with. Over the next few years, they will increasingly go for alternatives to whatever they've previously traded with the US. Thanks to the stable genius, the US will permanently be left poorer, while other countries will soon have economic growth again.
Ridiculously fast. More than double than what most people will drive on a highway. Illegal on a highway anywhere but Germany. And even there it would be quite unsafe and thus illegal in most driving conditions.
I don't think that is true. In his final video (Source, trigger warning of course) he mentioned his failing health, chronic pain and a perceived betrayal by the speedrunning community. Not a word about the lawsuits in there.
The article makes it pretty clear. Jobst always implied the lawsuit was over the cheating allegations, which wasn't the case. He claimed in one of his videos that Mitchell drove another Youtuber to suicide by suing him and forcing him to pay a large sum of money. As it turns out, that Youtuber didn't have to pay anything at all. The settlement was just to take his existing videos down and not make any further videos about Mitchell. Honestly seems justified to me and not a good look for Jobst.
Yeah the democrats have been a disappointment. I'd kinda see that as a reason to protest all the harder though. Using more disruptive measures like general strikes as well. Make them listen. Protest movements have overthrown tyrannical regimes before. Gets harder the more they've consolidated their power though.
Foreign media would report on it though, wouldn't it? There are many European reporters in the US. And there should be plenty of videos, pictures etc showing the scale. I haven't seen anything comparable to pictures of the women's march personally. I've seen pictures of protests but they seem, comparatively, quite small.
Was there anything on the scale of the 2017 women's march? I'm sure your arguments are true to some extent, but I am surprised and concerned that I haven't seen anything in similar scale to 2017's protests, despite the situation being so much worse this time. Back then they managed to mobilize over 200,000 people despite being car-centric.
I can't think of a current EV that is completely without a touchscreen or proprietary OS, but there is quite a big selection of cars with physical keys and controls. For example, if you look at Kia's current EV lineup, features like voice control, digital keys etc are all available, but completely optional. There are physical buttons and levers for almost everything you need while driving, like volume, temperature, fan speed etc.
For me it would probably be Denmark. Generally speaking, Danish people seem more laid-back. Great cycling infrastructure. Access to the sea. Good climate.
Ja, verständlich ist es. Ich selber habe ein knappes Jahr in einer Großstadt gewohnt aber bin dann zurück in mein Heimatdorf gezogen. Zu viele Menschen, Stress und Schmutz und zu wenig Natur. Dazu in einer winzigen Einzimmerwohnung für eine überteuerte Miete gewohnt. Ich bin glücklicher auf dem Dorf und habe mehr Geld. Meine politische Meinung ist hier nicht der Mainstream aber angefeindet wurde ich noch nie, auch wenn ich nicht gerade "konform" auftrete. Rechtsextremismus ist hier zum Glück auch nicht so verbreitet (auch wenn er, wie überall in Deutschland, leider stärker wird). Manchmal gibt es auch positive Entwicklungen, gerade bei Radwegen hat sich hier viel getan. Ich kann den Reiz der Großstadt aber verstehen, gerade wenn ich auf die Vereine, Volksfeste usw hier schaue habe ich manchmal das Gefühl dass ich am Ende des Tages doch nicht wirklich hier her passe. Aber einen perfekten Ort gibt es denke ich nicht.
IMO this is way better. Being denied would have given them a great opportunity to complain about "the Danish government suppressing the will of the Greenlandic people to join the US". The fact that they can come but noone there likes them is so much more devastating for their narrative.
