The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is much more nuanced. Both countries' current heads of state are kinda like "all this land is my country's, the other country should not exist." It's unclear who is right.

The Russo-Ukranian conflict is clear. One leader is claiming the land of the other, the other just want it back. Ukraine's government is not claiming half of Russia.

To be fair, Amsterdam red-light district is really safe, thanks to the windows and cops patrols. The plan to move them outside of the city in some shady areas is lowering the safety for all parties involved. And the reasons behind the move are basically "Won't Somebody Please Think of the Children?"

SBS made a good documentary about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxn84mAduXo

The EU has uncultivated land subsidies. To avoid overproduction of food and overexploitation of the land, the EU pays farmers to keep their land uncultivated. Some countries, like mine, force farmers to uncultivate their land once every N years, and, of course, they get subsidies for this.

In my region, farmers will plant flowers and let weed grow, since they're not putting any pesticide. They let the flowers and weeds die and rot at the end of the season. This way, they dont have to put as much fertilizer the next year. I've always seen these uncultivated fields full of bees and other pollinators in summer.

The issue is that some communities are run by mods who think these are real news

They then tried to use the identification of Thai prostitutes to create accounts on those exchanges in a bid to get those funds back.

Not what I had in mind...

Unfortunately for the EU, Hungary is part of of block.

Regarding Serbia, if you're applying, you should behave like a perfect member. Croatia and Estonia are notoriously known to have implemented EU directive as candidates, before the directive were even voted.

I'm wondering how lemmygrad is gonna turn that one around...

That's because TV commercials were usually well made, or for stuff you might need. For the stuff you didnt need, it was entertaining. (You remember the IBM TV ads in the 90s?) YouTube ads are for overpriced junk and dropshipping (raycon earbuds) when it's not get rich quick scams.

I support the freedom of the press. But I'm sometimes amazed how westerners, like myself, travel to authoritarian countries, get in trouble, and go "How could it be?! (shocked pikachu face)"

You know how I stay out of trouble? I don't travel to shithole countries. I stay in my not-perfect, but nice, democratic country.

This being said, I hope she gets freed ASAP.

Y a pas d'intermédiaires mais y a beaucoup de coûts supplémentaires. Le fermier doit maintenant gérer ses stocks et les invendus, au lieu de tout vendre à un intermédiaire à la fin de sa période de production. Les intermédiaires optimisent tout, et jouent sur l'économie d'échelle. En plus de ça, pour le paysan sur le marché, sa clientèle cible c'est les catégories aisées.

Celui vendu par les petit producteurs locaux est deux fois le prix du bio de super-marché! Je peux encore moins me le permettre.

Controlling who can come and settle doesn't make a state authoritarian.

Current day Switzerland is not Nazi Germany.

C'est ce qui m'est arrivé. Depuis 2022, j'achète plus que du poulet conventionnel. Je peux plus me permettre le poulet bio.

I morally support the endeavor, but unfortunately the search algo is trash.

It doesn't matter... In this conflict, whatever you say will be said to fake news and lies by the other side.
