I need Shingles all the way right now.

Cats going outside are a rounding error compared to habitat destruction and pollution.

Women, know your limits!

The rulers of today have already bought nice chunks of London, Paris, New York. They’ll be fine.

Dude.

The UK has some of the best produce in the world. What the average person at home does is of course something else but that’s no different in a lot of countries.

As someone mentioned rationing didn’t help the image but also the drabness of industrial canned food in the brown seventies. And people just forgot how to cook.

Most Europeans have one, max 2 cars per household. A fuckton of Europeans also go on holiday with their cars once or twice a year.

One car needs to work for most use cases. It’s fine if you have more cars than people in the house that one of them is a 100 mile range commuter, but a different kettle of fish if the same car needs to do an 800+ mile trip to the Mediterranean in summer and a 500 mile ski trip in winter.

A quarrel about a Pokémon gym gone too far.

Dude. We had a friend on holiday in northern Germany who wanted to visit us in Maastricht. Even though she was in fucking Germany, it was twice as fast to get to the border, take a bus to Groningen and then cross the Netherlands than to use the DB to Aachen.

Another thing. The Dutch trains that are known to have many transfer passengers stop on the same platform, so you only need to cross the platform. In Germany your train arrives on Gleis 5, your next train on Gleis 16. Oh no, 13. Woops we changed it again haha.

You are right it went downhill, but DB is on another level of skullfuckery.

I’ve read once that eating iron won’t do anything for your iron intake, but for example sticking some rusty nails through an apple for a while and then eating the apple would.

I’m a natural sprinter. Very fast on short distances. But the endless slog from one shop to the next, with no respite, no idea when it will end. When we come home I’m dead tired and empty. She’s dead tired and full.

Well that’s just cats in general. Vindictive little bastards.

The numbers went up since the mass adoption of electric bikes. This caused especially elderly people to drive twice as fast as they could before, with heavier bikes they can’t control as well and they generally don’t wear helmets.

The next big problem are young people doing what young people do but now with electric assistance

Today, learn and do read.

As usual this has become yet another tribal issue where you either defend the car or defend walking and biking.

You can do both without your head exploding. I know. Shocker.

Most people who ride bikes just ride bikes. And a minority are what you call “cyclists”.

You’re lumping them all together and are part of the problem. Dick.

Death by a thousand cuts though. I had to sit a co-worker down and go over his finances because he never learnt at home or school. The amount of €10-25 monthly subscriptions this guy had meant he spent about €500 per month on those. On top of buying everything on payments because he never has any savings.

It’s another example of making use of the flawed human psyche which can’t keep track of the little things.

Those are indeed special situations where cats are basically an invasive species.

Here in Europe the correlation between cats and bird population is not so strong. While destruction of habitat and the crash in insect numbers are the big culprits.

Housecats were actually keeping the bird population healthy for decades by eliminating the weak. Of course now that habitat destruction and toxins made entire populations weak it is a problem.

But removing housecats to solve it is akin to drinking out of paper straws to solve plastic pollution. It helps, but it doesn’t do anything substantial.

Your yard in your summer residence then. Jeez
