Trump seems to be senile already (the dancing town hall meeting comes to mind), so I think it’s more the question when Vance will take over, not if he will try.

I don’t believe it. As a Dutchman, I see it all over Europe too. The classic working man parties started catering to white collar some time ago, and the blue collars don’t want to hear it anymore. Bernie would still be a democrat, just like Biden, Obama and the Clintons. People didn’t see change during their presidencies, and they don’t believe anymore that this time it’s going to be different. So you get to see the kind of people that we used to laugh at in the nineties ruling countries right now.

Maybe we should be happy it doesn’t happen, breaking down all plastics which are currently everywhere would probably result in massive CO2 emissions. That’s why I’m always sceptical when these kind of articles appear; it gives some people an excuse to say the overuse of plastics isn’t an issue.

I can’t find it in the article, but I assume this is the same as all the other plastic eating organisms; They can eat plastic under specific circumstances, but would rather not. What is in the article; they can only survive on polystyrene if it is mixed with other food and nutrients.

Not where I live, we actually have a second christmas day on the 26th.

There’s nothing you can do - you do what you can. Got it, just do nothing?

I got my first extra hour the day after I was born.

Edit: I was wrong, it turns out there was no DST in my country when I was born. So I definitely banked it.

I know, since I replied to this:

I think they’re saying that children who are born in the new country should be counted as foreigners. Which is kinda fucked up but yea

Looking up the article the baseline is French and English I’d say. So it might be biased, but I didn’t read the article and even if I did, I’m a chemical engineer so what do I know of this field.

It would actually depend on where in Germany you are going, but since the first Turkish “Gastarbeiter” (among others, quite some nationalities) came to West Germany over 60 years ago, it is not uncommon to meet people of Turkish descent there. (East Germany not so much, they had Vietnamese workers but mostly deported them back to Vietnam after the re-unification.) Combine these Gastarbeiter (and the three generations after them) with a declining native birth rate and an influx of asylum seekers, and it could well be 40-50% all together.

The big question is what the problem is here, and the answer is that the far right wants it to be a problem so they can come to power. So they’ll bloody make it a problem and try and sabotage any solutions. These last lines are my personal opnion obviously.

This saviour complex is a big part of it. That said, all these big “self made” billionares suffer from it. That’s why they all refuse to pay taxes but will instead make a charity foundation so they can choose which public interest is best served by “their” money. Like another poster said, Elon’s public interest is apartheid, which aligns with Trump.

Calorie restriction is not the same as not eating.

I’d rather not stop eating…

After his town hall meeting, it’s safe to say he isn’t going to do anything when elected since Vance will be president.

Depends on your definition, but most foods are healthier than not eating.

The Dutch government is basically controlled by the PVV party, who’s founder and leader used to be a settler on the west bank. They run on a heavy anti Islam/ anti refugee platform. So basically, “Isreal good, brown people bad”.

The reversed rule in plumbing is only for gas lines in the Netherlands.

Same here, except for my dad, he is clumsy as hell.

Is this a Chuck Testa?
