Germany’s Angela Merkel called the U.S. president’s words “sobering and a little depressing"
Meanwhile, the Italians thought he was too chaotic and disorganized, the Greek didn't like his lack of work ethic, the French objected to his constant philandering and the British were put off by his taste in food.
Das "Blechdach verbogen"? Okay, ich werd alt, ich komm nicht mehr hinterher mit den Euphemismen. Heißt das, ihr habt maßlos gesoffen? Oder bezieht sich das auf eine andere neumodische junge Leute Praktik, die mir nicht geläufig ist und die zu starkem Durchfall führt?
These prefab panel apartment buildings were made to reduce homelessness. Obviously, the people living in there weren't homeless anymore by that point, and in many cases they weren't homeless before either, because, believe or not, at the time, those apartments were a big upgrade for people from rural regions.
These brutalist style buildings were/are not very pretty, and I would much prefer the much nicer, organically grown mid-density residential areas of Western Europe, but if given the choice between solving the homelessness problem with anti-homeless spikes and police raids on tent cities versus solving it by constructing a lot more mid- to high- density apartment buildings of any type, pretty or not, I would definitely prefer the latter.
They've recently been arresting white-skinned people from traditional white and western countries as well, such as Germany. What's more, we're not even talking about just sending them back anymore. That, I could even kinda live with, even if it is both unethical and stupid (the US needs those people's cheap labor). We're talking about locking them up without trial or any process whatsoever in illegal torture prisons.
You've hit the nail on the head. As weird and hard to believe as it seems right now, it's not Trump himself who will be our biggest problem in the mid to long term. It's who ever comes after him who he and his followers are paving the way for now.
Trump so far has been of a somewhat limited dangerousness for freedom and democracy so far, not because his views and convictions are not dangerous enough, but because he's simply too incompetent to be properly dangerous. There is a good likelihood that whoever comes after him will be a lot more competent.
I've ditched Duolingo a while ago for teaching me things that wre just plain wrong. I can't imagine it will get any better by instead relying on those gloriified chatbots that are marketed as "AI" these days.
To be fair, the Russians do have an answer to that: Western secret services like the CIA have been infiltrating those countries' governments and/or orchestrated anti-Russian, pro-Western coups.
To be fair yet again, that answer is a load of bullshit, those democratic governments have plenty of genuine popular support, the people in these countries are anti-Russian because of personal experiences with the Russian state, not just because of propaganda, and the USA, while influential to an outsized degree, is obviously not just "calling the shots" on the entire western world. Things would look very different if they were.
Why does nobody mention the Discordian calendar? 5 days per week, 73 days per month, 5 months to a year (Chaos, Discord, Confusion, Bureaucracy and the Aftermath). On leap years, it adds one additional day (St. Tib's day) with a name but no numerical date.
Gut, Toten-Transport hört sich auf Deutsch an, als würde der Norweger hier Leichen transportieren, aber was hat das mit Trans-, bzw. Cis-sexualität zu tun?
… "and the government doesn't want them to"?
The last part kinda doesn't make a lot of sense.
If the government doesn't want the non-disabled to enjoy taking that for fun, how does that contribute to the problem? It could have made sense if it said "even though" instead of "and", but the way it is, it's just confusing.
John Bolton is also quite recognizable. The rest, I can't place, either.
