The problem are asian imports, but also the European procedures. It would be very simple to gas all the suspected containers for a few days, but also very costly.

And we do not want to pay more for our multi-coloured USB Sticks that we need right away, don’t we.

This is, quite literally, previous century drug deal scheme.

I was born in Yugoslavia, before the balkan wars (and before Tito died) and when I was in ground school, Kinder-egg drug deals were already old news.

This article is, at least (!) 40 years too late.

Not sure what you think you have described in your post, but that - is not journalism, much less traditional journalism.

So, to forward your dislike towards something that you have either not experienced, or seen, or have no understanding of - is pointless.

I mean, if you were born receltly, then you might have a picture that, what is being offered online (or even generally in the media) might be branded as journalism (which is not), however, the truth is that ‘‘news’’ today is (95%) nothing but a clickbait industry and has very little,if anything, to do with journalism.

The remaining 5% is actually - journalism, but that, just as any other thing for which someone else had put some education, effort and sacrifice in, has to be compensated.

Product advertising is something we have ad- block for. So far, in my life, I have never ever seen, heard or met a person that has convinced me that I need something they have.

Whoever does not realize that THIS IS FAR MORE DEVASTATING than any nuclear bomb or even SIGNED capitulation in a war - is nothing else but an utter fool.

So, privately proclaimed enforcers are being given classified information by the state institutions, so that they could exercise/execute swift justice to people proclaimed unwanted by the country.

2 problems here:

1. This individual is HIGHLY educated person (and should be direly precious to the country)
2. Nazi germany - 09.November.1938

Congratulations USA, you finally did it. You transitioned.

The sole concept of having a political option whose basic program, purpose and goal is NOT to allow everyone equal rights, is nothing but WW2 german Nazism and should be met with contempt, disgust, unacceptance and SEVERE resistance, even violent one if necessary.

Equalizing such option with any other (left?) option whose goal IS to provide everyone equal rights - is also nothing but intentionally shaming and devalueing that (left, socialist) option and intentionally supporting the Nazism option.

Whether posts, such as this one, come from being (politically) illiterate (as almost 55% of USA is below 6th grade literacy, which puts them in the cotegory of huge crowd of useful idiots) or simply because one is (momentarilly) safe from being endangered by any political stream, is trivial in the matter.

This is not the issue of politics. It is the issue of common sense.

If there is a damage more severe, more horriffic, more devastating than the nuclear bomb - it is a de(con)struction of (one countrie’s) educational system.

There is no punishment appropriate enough for what these people did and are still doing.

The consequences of these actions are too severe to repair. Ever.

I thought in Poland they are called: ‘‘Nalešniki’’? So now I’m confused.

Actually, I KNOW in Poland these are called ‘‘Nalešniki’’ because I used to eat them in pancake restaurants called ‘‘Nalešnikarne’’… the most notable for me being ‘‘Nalešnikarna Fanaberia’’ in ‘‘Svietojanska’’ (St. John’s) street in Gdinya.

Sorry if I didn’t write ‘‘Nalešniki’’ 100% correcu, but… I use slavic phonetics, so…

That is actually for the whole Yugoslavian area. To pronounce this correctly in english, one would have to write it like this: ‘‘Pallachincka’’ (singular) or ‘‘Pallachincke’’ (plural)… and greetings to all ‘‘Palačinke’’ lovers (had to scroll quite a while to find the comment, but I knew there had to be one…good job). :D

THIS. This is not being communicated enough.

The issue is the new(er) generations think they have discovered something never seen before, all the while truth being - the only new thing is the way people are being manipulated into investing in trickster scheme.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have been there when internet was born. We have witnessed it and we have learned from our mistakes. It is not you who are smarter, it is us knowing not to buy tulips.

LOL :D

Does it not mean Portuguese-Brasilian (Portuguese)?

And it is a Google translate add-on… or am I wrong?

Have you visited ‘‘Ukraine’’ on lemmy? No need to go to reddit.

TL:DR: Ukraine has been (and probably still is) dominantly corrupted (because they were part of the Soviet Union, which is kind of a paradox).

People do want to live better, but also do not want to die for a country which didn’t solve basic problems (like corruption) in the past.

In short, they do not consider it a sacred duty to leave their bones on the altar of mafia (and Ukranian mafia is something reolly special).

It is questionable whether Ukraine was even capable of escaping the Soviet mentality, after the fallout of USSR. Indeed, before Soviet invasion of 2014, most of the people were pro Soviet.

In Germany, it is possible to ‘‘make a deposit’’ with the bank, so the landlord gets only the confirmation (Bürgschaft). Furthermore, it is also a thing to pay that deposit in rates (installments), not to burden the new tennant immediatelly.

I think it works a lot like insurance: you pay a smidge every month, but you also get no money back at the end, so… not really a deposit. However, it does satisfy the landlord and the deposit is legally provided, so… to give up one or two coffee’s every month (for a couple of years) is worth it at the rough beginnings.

For comparisson, you pay some 20 € monthly instead of 3500 € on hands of the landlord. You are moving, you are already burdened with the costs and expenses, so instead of having a financial blow on top of all the misery, you simply walk into the bank, make ‘‘Bürgschaft’’ (depost confirmation), agree to pay 20 € monthly, beginning from next month… and you exhale. It is a practical guarantee that the bank wil cover your deposit.

You give that ‘‘Bürgschaft’’ (deposit confirmation) to your landlord and all is good. If your landlord later, turns out to be an a…hole, he has to claim the deposit with the bank. If you contest landlords claims (bank will 100% contact you in that case), then it is a direct war between him/her and the bank… and good luck with that. To you it is all the same anyway, as you pay (paid) monthly installment (rate).

If there are no disputes and you are moving out earlier, then you can simply cancel the ‘‘Bürgschaft’’ contract (based on canceled rent agreement) and you don’t have to pay anymore.

The downside is - no money back.

It is not really a hype thing here, but I’ve done it and it worked OK; (no disputes though).

I still play this a lot… and it is wonderful every time. 😊

Congratulations Netherlands, you are finally becoming USA.

This is underrated comment. XD

What is happening in USA now is the future of EU. Armies of illiterate Tik-Tok and Instagram users, choosing to follow self-proclaimed gurus and fake news.

Measels are the smallest problem.
