It is part of a much larger plan. But in the Netherlands it also started small, and took all the way until the 1990s when it started to scale.

This is literally how 99 percent of the separate bike lanes in NL are built. Check Not Just Bikes on Nebula.

Can’t wait for the whole Musk fata morgana to crater, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy…

really?

As much I love the idea of Lemmy, I’ve noticed myself I was drawn back to Reddit. Why? Because it has a larger community, of course, but (and please don’t shoot me for this), Reddit’s algo and rewards. Yes, the achievements gallery is stupid, but it works.

The folks building Lemmy investigating how to increase engagement, this is one factor.

State rights much?

Indeed, this is a terrible development. Especially since Orban is hosting the event, receiving a war criminal (2 by now, with Trump’s illegal actions in the Caribbean) on EU territory.

Yes, I concur. Have been coming to the US since 1992, no more. The last time was 2023 and I don’t forsee anytime soon I’ll be returning.

Zelenskyy was also a comedian, they are both pretty smart.

lol

He does have a wife? That’s the news here…

Hope he has to sell twatter at some point. Not that any good would come from that, but just the thought of him finally eating some shit makes me giggle.

Ex-wife? Did I miss something?

Exactly this, most people these days lack any capacity for critical thought and will just straight up take the propaganda at face value.

For sure, this regime is staffed with people who have lost all capacity for empathy, probably due to their troubled upbringing. So it would not be past these folks to use actual shipping containers. They could not care less.

I’ll be the last person to defend Trump, his cabinet members or his policies. But looking at that link, it’s clearly not a shipping container, even though the words are used in the article.

It’s actually this: https://www.willscot.com/en/entertain-host

Container offices, which are clearly not meant to house people in, but aren’t shipping containers either.

Netherlands, Rotterdam. 4 supermarkets within walking distance. 1 less than 10 minutes, 3 less than 5.

The signs you need to look for is what happens next. Sure, they knew the optics would be really bad if the police had started slaying into 300/500K people. But tomorrow or next week it’ll only be a few hundred. Or just individuals that wear a rainbow item. Will they ‘disappear’ such as is now happening with darker skinned people in the US?

Fossil fuels are the primary reason we continue to be in this mess.

I’m 100% certain the rise of the extreme right is fuelled by the oil and gas industry. Hell, the extreme political islam has been pushed by Saudi Arabia for decades. We’ve been paying for our own downfall.

Vance was placed there with the objective to replace Trump eventually. These guys don’t need Trump any more, but like the industrials underestimated Hitler when they put him into power, Thiel and co are probably underestimating Trump’s shrewdness. He will burn everything down before he’ll be put out of power.
