Vote for a party that wants a wealth tax?

Just use Feeld, bro.

None of that “I’m just a girl looking to get rammed, but because I’m afraid people will call me a slut, my profile says random bullshit about like stars and wanting a relationship - teehee”. Women and guys on their are direct af. It’s like dating gay men (finally). “DTF?”, “Looking for a one night stand”, “Looking for a threesome with my partner”, “Only dating couples for a foursome”, “Just want to watch my boyfriend get pegged by a hot girl/dude”, etc.

Tinder was supposed to be a hookup app, but Feeld is just so much better.

Of course it can be used for finding relationships too, but at least people are clear about that. Much less of the “pretending to look for a relationship because I don’t want people to think badly of me”.

Yeah, it needs more contributions

No wonder they are sending so many people to jail due to corruption. It’s as if they are sabotaging Ukraine’s war efforts. One could compare it to treason as I bet Russia wouldn’t be able to destroy 1/3 of humanitarian aid - and I bet they’re trying hard.

I wish people contributed to opensource alternatives like LibreLingo with more developers and course creators, it would be up to the community to maintain, not some private company that can dump a course whenever they like with no recourse for the users.

Will the people vote differently? I bet not.

While I kinda sympathise, I won’t be filing a complaint. I want Youtube to become so shit that even the average user will start looking for alternatives. I want ads plastered everywhere on that site and adblockers to fail miserably at blocking them. I want the average user to be so bothered by the ads that when they stumble upon an alternative they try and convince people to switch. I want content creators to be so bothered by it that they make videos promoting the use of another service.

Make this a competition for alternatives. Don’t make it easy for users to stay on Youtube.

Orc planet?

Car batteries you can swap by hand in a few minutes without going to the shop, reverse charging (a car battery can power your home for a while), face scanning tech to ensure you aren’t distracted by your phone, capacitive door handles, resistive car doors that limit how far you can open them if there’s an obstacle in order no to scratch the doors, intercar communication, and that’s what I picked up from watching a video for a few minutes.

BYD added a few thousand patents since 2011 and that’s just one of the car companies. They have played around with designs, materials, and much more. IINM they are also working on solid state batteries.

And of course modernising the supply chains and making it possible even produce a car cheaply, quickly, and better quality than a Tesla. If that isn’t innovation for you, then I don’t know what is.

Oh, you’re still paying for Netflix? Well… sucks to be you!

Lol, a car industry that hasn’t innovated in years is suddenly threatened by innovation. Still, fuck cars. We should make them nigh obsolete with better public transport.

EU rules are even stricter than those across the pond. There are entire classes of products banned from the European market due to impact on health that the USA will happily poison their population with.

US government shoving millions up the asses of the their industries: capitalism

China shoving millions into their industries: communism

Yours faithfully, the brainwashed USAian

Quite unfortunate.

This is worldnews worthy?

I’ve visited Portugal only once, so my experience is very limited with the country, but public transport wasn’t very good even in Lisbon in my experience. Don’t know if there are portugese cities with better public transport, but if that’s the best Portugal has, then your opinion is certainly understandable.

Not only that, Portugal sits close to the middle of the pack in population density, not far from France and their public transport is certainly only good in and around cities.

It still is undeniable that cars are quite costly. It would save Portugal money to actually invest in better public transport, maybe even make it free. Free or affordable public transport increases the frequency of buses as the ridership increases.

The biggest difficulty is changing the public perception of cars as a status symbol and the feeling of “freedom”. The freedom one gets from free public transport is difficult to comprehend, I think. One can just hop on the bus, step out at a random place, rent a bike, explore, and hop onto the next bus with barely any planning except for getting back.
In France, the number of visits people made to shops outside of the center actually increased.

Anyway, I wish you good luck in Portugal.

I’m not sure where you’re from, but your assumptions might be right for your area or country, but that doesn’t count for all of Europe.

Switzerland has great public transport throughout the country. I can attest to that myself, but if you want to, watch NotJustBikes talk about it. Probably you can find better sources if you want to. Also, Luxembourg has free public transport in the entire country. Yes, it’s small already, but even villages with 50 people have a bus riding through it about once an hour. Parts of France are actually trying to copy that model:

A weekly grocery run for a family of four is cumbersome. We can shift to an eshopping & delivery model but are we willing to let others choose for us our food?

1. You can get a electrical cargo-bike.
2. What do you mean others choose your food? You choose the food and they bring it to you. Same as when you order shoes, a phone, or any other goods.

Eliminating the of personal transportation predicates on turning back a good number of business models and urban planning models very dificult to revert.

It’s more the mindset that’s difficult to revert. Town centers become livelier with better public transport as people don’t have to cede way to cars. Businesses and citizens get more space to spread out too. Better public transport also helps teens and young adults become independent more quickly as they do not have to rely on their parents to provide a car for them. It also decreases the costs for citizens and communes alike. (read the articles about French communes introducing free transport)

Cars are really expensive another youtube video explains. It’s specific to Germany and the dude cites this document from a German association (run it through google translate).

So yes, investing in public transport in low density areas is beneficial for citizens, the state, and can even be funded by communes themselves (again see France), but it’s better when the federal government does so (if the country is a federation).

Oooh, I had no idea https://jlailu.fr linked to a discord! It really was just supposed to be jlai.lu :D No idea who owns the domain but it just redirects you to discord for /r/rance . Must be some jokester.
