Please increase it by 10% every month. It’s the only thing that’ll make our fuckwitted, asskissing, bootlicking, saliva-guzzling, Trump-slaves understand.

Some argue that access to VPN services should be restricted to users above a digital age of majority.

The Epstein class argues that…

I didn’t even know there were options. What a delight!

Sweden is probably going to buy it all from the US. Won’t make much of a difference. Sweden is quite deep up in the US butthole.

Opportunity to do something else with your life. Kids are unaffordable. World is going to shit.

And they refuse to tax wealth because approval ratings mean nothing if people will just vote for another party (the nazi party) that won’t tax the rich and their wealth. It’s all the same to them. If there were a big slide to the left-wing parties, boy would there be a problem (for the rich uber-wealthy).

The digital euro won’t require the use a smartphone! That means no more Google and no more Malus necessary to spy on our transfers. if Wero can do the same, fine, but they refuse to decouple from the US, so fuck them (until they decouple).

His conduct in parliamentary negotiations, his public speeches and his appearances at industry events all suggest a preference for private-sector solutions over the digital euro.

Navarrete has an extensive background in the banking sector. He held several high-level positions at the Bank of Spain and served as the director of finance at the Spanish Official Credit Institute.

Ah fuck… why do we let these people into positions where they can kill off competition? Fuck this dude. And of course he’s a right-winger. Would you look at that! Another corrupt anti-European from the right-wing ranks.

El em fuckin ay oh. Millions of people keep birds on the run: this dude “my wouldn’t you look at that stamina”. Why is the internet filled with single-celled eukaryotes unable to reason? I could bang any two pots and pans together and they’d make more sense than what the hell it is you think you’re trying to do.

It’d honestly be funnier if you were trying to meme, but the sad thing is you’re actually being serious and think you’re right. My pet rock could do a better job.

What does that even have to do with stamina? lol. That’s like shooting somebody and shouting “stamina diff”.

LMAO. Birds. All I gotta say.

Yes, I’m mocking the caption. As if Neanderthals learned how to throw rocks before monkeys or humans in Africa that came before Neanderthals.

Alright, I’ll level with you. What annoyed me was your use of “obviously” and “abundantly clear”. Please consider where you are right now and what medium you’re using:

• you might be anywhere in the world with a completely different experience and culture than me
• you are communicating on a medium where your intention can only be judged by the words you write in the context they are present. no facial expressions, no emojis, no tone of voice, nothing else

So things aren’t as “obvious” as you make them out to be.

Now that that is out of the way, you are still downplaying the role Germany plays in plastic pollution. 810 thousand tonnes is far from a negligible amount to export per year. No matter how you spin it, Western countries still consume and waste obscenely more than non-Western countries. They do terribly in carbon consumption too.

I can appreciate the “at least we aren’t doing as bad those other guys” ( imagine the brag “hey we gassed only 600k Jews, they gassed 2M, we’re so much better!”) , but it’s still 810 thousand tonnes exported to countries that cannot deal with even their domestic plastic waste. If the headline were “Germany dumped 810 kilo tonnes of plastic waste into the ocean”, that would sound no better than the “UK dumped 675 kilo tonnes of plastic waste into the ocean”. Of course, if we just say “exported” it seems cute and maybe even economy boosting. “We gave Malaysia a few megatonnes of plastic and they just dumped it into the ocean! Bad Malaysia, bad!”

Being able to export the waste to a country that a) doesn’t produce even half as much and b) cannot deal with it, doesn’t make up for however much you recycle (or claim to recycle) in your own country. It’s a cop out.

USA getting smoked, top kek

The fact that the transition to European alternatives does not always go smoothly is evident in Schleswig-Holstein, where the local government is already struggling with the migration from Microsoft to an open-source environment.

Really? Not from what I’ve read. Who owns this tabloid? Some USAian?

The white, African man learned to throw rocks. Yeah…

“so what’s a little bit more?”. Yeah, great point.

Obviously that doesn’t make a difference to the country receiving 810k tonnes of trash.

Because we export our fucking plastic there to absolve ourselves of the responsibility. Exporting waste to third-world countries should quite simply be banned and I’m glad at least the EU will do so.

The EU has agreed to ban exports of plastic waste to countries outside the group of mostly rich OECD nations by November 2026, yet half is still being sent to those destinations. Much of the remainder goes to Turkey, now the largest recipients of European plastic waste.

With the ban approaching, there are concerns that all exports could be redirected to developing OECD countries such as Turkey, as well as parts of eastern Europe, which lack the capacity to manage higher volumes.

Then they can finally shut up about “most pollution to seas some from these 3 Asian countries” and walk in their shoes for a while. Even the UK is suffocating under their waste and it’s being dumped everywhere. Tough to blame immigrants when you’re doing the polluting and it ends up in your own backyard.

But the people will find a way to blame immigrants anyway. Anything to avoid taxing the rich and their wealth.

Yes, sent to countries that can’t process it and just dump it in the sea. “not a lot”

Maybe the US will suffer greatly and the rest of the world have to come off of the US addiction, but the world might actually be brighter afterwards.
