Had to shoot it sadly.

For a good reason, right? Right?

Helemaal waar, en toch ben ik positief verrast.

The wheel? My jet doesn’t need wheels, probably.

You’d need a new jet after every landing. And also look for some very slippery surface everytime you want to take off withthat new jet. My advice would be to only use your yachts and have your underlings carry you over land.

It appears that while content federates across instances, posts and their associated comment threads are tied to that instance. If the instance shuts down, that post is gone.

What content is there besides posts? Isn’t federated content not only ‘visible’ from other instancez but also copied to there? Maybe you don’t know either, i’m just figuring stuff out along the way.

Some media outlets abuse things that are happening as an reason to push a shitload of content hoping to make money from ads. This adds to words becoming buzzwords, like crypto and AI. I don’t disagree that happens, but there is something real happening too. Whether you personally use and/or like crypto and ai does not change on this having major effects on certain industries. Same goes for a lot of other buzzwords, although the metaverse could well be an example of a buzzword without having anything real beneath it, so far at least. Some might end up not being a big thing (remember the hyperloop), some are world changing (there was a time smartphone was a buzzword).

Romanian MEP Gheorghe Piperea, from the ultra-conservative party AUR, claims he has collected 73 signatures for his motion—one more than one-in-ten minimum threshold of MEPs (72) required to initiate the process.

According to Piperea’s office, 32 members of his political group, the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), have backed the request. The remaining signatures came from the far-right groups Patriots for Europe (6), Europe of Sovereign Nations (26), and from non-attached MEPs.

“There will be a vote against the motion: I’m sure of this, because the majority is still there with von der Leyen. And even if in this majority there is a lot of discontent against von der Leyen, for the moment they will not force her to resign,” Piperea said.

However, the Romanian MEP hopes the initiative could “open a Pandora’s box", encouraging further motions of censure in the months ahead. “It is important that we have this democratic process, in order to force this kind of debate. Even if my motion will not succeed, there will probably be others in the future which will be successful," he said.

In the Netherlands there is also a class-action lawsuit coming up, guess there is roughly the same amount of android users here. Maybe a bit more. Will be interesting to see how much lower that amount will be.

Agree, i never mind when any person who did evil things stands up when another person does something else evil. The more people calling the evil deed out the better.

Only $47,000 lol

I once heard a theory we should not tax incoming money but outgoing money. So with income tax it is not that you pay over what you receive but your employer pays tax before you get it (like you pay vat when you buy something). I am no expert but it sounded like it would really work on big corps and rich people because the bank would have to pay taxes when they pay you interest, the broker would pay tax when they pay your profits on shares. Can’t imagine it be easy to overhaul the whole system, but it would take away the ‘responsibility’ of paying taxes from the person who owns the money and puts this responsibility on the person who’s parting from the money.

my lacking English

Your English wasn’t incorrect, it’s that disagreed with what you wrote. You used it has become which is the tense you use for something completed (as in, it has finished), while I believe it is not completed and for that reason wrote is becoming which is the same verb but in a different tense (as in, it is happening). I’m no native speaker, so might not be the best explanation. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

I think in your last comment all forms are all correct, and the tense in which you the verb to vote has different nuance but i wouldn’t think something of it in this particular case. If you use ‘are voting for’ you basically mean how people would vote if they would have to vote today (or this week) and you would use ‘voted for’ mainly if it is relevant that it is different then how people would vote today. (Will) vote for, is voting for, will be voting are basically interchangeable, unless I am missing the nuance myself. You explain it correctly yourself so I think you understand it but I made you doubt yourself. Sorry for that.

Are you sure about that?

There are many politicians who consider the EU as not fully formed. The changes don’t happen very fast, but it is in my view still an ongoing proces. For example, which countries are part of it continues to change (England left and others joined, more will likely join later), the euro itself hasn’t changed but the countries it is used in still changes (Bulgaria is expected to switch over to the Euro next year) and also what is and isn’t in the Schengen area changes, even this year with Gibraltar joining.

Another example of how, according to some, the EU would be more finished is with a ‘multi-tier membership options’, in which some countries have a tighter bond to the EU and others have a looser (think of how Norway and Switzerland aren’t in the EU, but they are not entirely outside of it either).

There is lot has already been decided, so maybe it is already 90% finished, but there still is an ongoing debate on what the EU should end up looking like.

Since brexit leaving the EU hasn’t looked like a very attractive option but still there is a lot of discussion on whether the EU should be smaller (e.g. having borders controlled by each individual member-state) or bigger (e.g. having a single combined army). In other words, there is still room to decide on what topics the EU should be big and on which it should be small. That makes the EU as it is right now very different than the US for example, where most of the expansion and integration happened two to three centuries ago (around the civil war mainly I think, but I’m no expert on US history either).

For all we know he was bad at plotting his escape.

But thanks for the riddle, I liked it.

No it’s just the jeakini-bottom

As others said, you’ll get by with just speaking English - if you’re serious think of what would matter aside from language: a life in Italy will be very different than a life in German, not only the weather but also the work culture. Also think of which countries ‘match’ your education, being somewhere with loads of jobs in your expertise will make things a lot easier. I’d advise anyone able to move from US to Europe to take a leap of faith - if it doesn’t work out and the US has by then returned to normal you can just move back and if it doesn’t work out and america didn’t return to normal you’ll likely be happy at least you got out before it got real bad.

Well if it only lasts one period that’s not so bad lol

They must be lining up to grab some extra profits there.
