Honestly germans seem to love to dunk on their own infrastructure. Pedestrian, bicycle and public transport infrastructure truly is on another level compared to the US. Why this is the case? I believe its because cities where already in place when the car was invented. In the US they were built for the car as a mode of transport when European cities where built in a way that was a lot more pedestrian friendly.

While the punctuality of DB (German railway operator is a mess) local regional trains can be pretty consistent and overall cities have a well built out priority, since we had to accommodate for so many peoples transport withoutbeingg able to built them as car friendly since the urban centers where already built. while the funding somewhat lacks today, this made public transport also an important thing people look out for.

Bicycle infrastructure can also be hit or miss depending in the region, but generally it is also on the radar of planners and there's plenty of routes, although they're nothing like the Netherlands.

Germans also really like shitting on their own country and being really critical which comes with its own upsides and downsides. For rural areas the car is definitely really important for getting around tho

Since I was curious I checked the actual amount of upvotes and downvotes of my post on mbin. It got 56 upvotes and 66 downvotes according to them since I was curious. Seems I hurt their little ego when I mentioned blocking their instance.

They banned me recently since I was writing a comment talking about how many "memes" on [email protected] are oftentimes not even memes and just unfunny pushing communist agenda and how I was thinking about blocking the instance. It got a bit too many upvotes from them and I ended up getting banned. So in response I made this meme and posted it to [email protected]

For more context: I already had the communism and lefty communites blocked. I'd consider myself middle-left of the political spectrum but personally don't believe in some grand revolution saving us all. Most left communities on here seem to far out there for my personal taste at least. My comment is deleted but if you wanna see the post here's the link.

If more people acted this way this wouldn't be the standard

Reminds me of the memes about nobody knowing Obamas last name

Ich seh bei deinen Aussagen ne rote Linie überschritten! Les mal das UN Völkerrecht und dann sollte jede person mit mehr als 2 Hirnzellen erkennen, dass das völlig gerechtfertigt war

I hope this will help lenghten the battery life of my laptop. I use it for school and when I put it in Idle it still drains in like 8 hours or something really bad. I'll try it out later and edit the comment to see what happened

I hope Ukranians don't overextend when all they do is want to divert Russian troops, as Russia has many more reserves. Only advantage is this front wasn't prepared by Russians for an attack so they are surprised

Honestly, I'd like if the browser could become truly independent from google ad money. Then mozilla devs would have to focus on the browser and come up with a donation program like thunderbird for example instead. I'd prefer to pay and know how the money is used. I absolutely hate the google dependence

Google just maliciously makes their websites work way worse on Firefox. For YouTube I personally just use FreeTube on desktop and Tubular (A NewPipe fork) on Android so I never have to interact with that goddamn website

Nun wenn es auch nur auf Filme und Serien erweitert werden könnte die ich mir z.B. auf Amazon kaufe. Die Lizenz verlieren und dann in einem Abo den Film nicht mehr schauen können ist eine Sache, aber wenn ich ihn explizit kaufe und dann den Zugang verliere finde ich das schon verwerflich, dass das system das überhaupt zulässt.

The comment argued for jailing Trump voters, not Trump himself in this case.

Hopefully they can decide swiftly on the democrat convention and Biden can rally the Democrat party united behind one younger more energetic candidate fit to lead the country
