  • To be completely fair to the americans complaining about fuel prices though. European prices are by design. Prices increasef in the 70’s during the oil crisis, and afterwards we kept them high through taxation. We did that to give a larger incentive to oil reducing behavior like buying a car that drives longer per liter, or insulating your house better. This was to reduce our dependance in oil so another crisis wouldn’t hit as hard.

    USA didn’t do that, because USA has/had plenty oil to support itself, and those regulations would mean less oil sales and thus less money for the giant oil companies. Wouldn’t wanna take money out of the wallets of the poor rich cunts right?

    So in short, Europe voted for less oil dependance because we don’t produce a lot of it, USA voted for more, because their rich cunts have always controlled the government.

    It infuriates me how so many people seem to think the epstein files are worse than bombing civilians.

    Yes, Trump deserves to hang for everything he has to do with the case. Even if we assume he is completely innocent, he has still at bare minimum covered up for countless abusers.

    But that doesn’t mean partaking in a genocide and murdering civilians in a war of agression isn’t worse.




  • It’s not like all European towns have perfect public transit. We have plenty of places without a busline too. I agree it’s not to the extent of the USA, but here in Denmark we have a lot of smaller communities that simply don’t have busses, because they’re not directly sandwiched between two bigger cities.


  • I’m not really convinced China is that far ahead of everyone else in the EV market. Sure, they have cheap cars, but is the quality better? I haven’t tried a lot, but to me it seems the quality and features are pretty much the same as european, japanese or south korean. I just bought a Japanese car, because the BYD that was comparable but cheaper just felt like a toy car. Everything about the interior just felt like cheap plastic. The infotainment screen was a mess, and I had to go into 3 (3!) submenus to turn on the heated seats.

    I’m not convinced the chinese cars are better. They’re comparable and cheap, but it’s not like they offer something no one else does.







  • My cat knows the sound of a cheese puffs so well. You can rattle with any bag of crisps and she won’t even lift her head. Accidentally nudge a bag of cheese puffs, and she’ll be there like lightning. I hardly ever buy cheese puffs, but she’ll still remember the sound after months.

    When she was a kitten I’d share a bag with her once in a while. A handfull for me, and a single one for her was the general scale of distribution.
