      How dare you. That’s so unfair. They’ll just get treated cheaply and efficiently at your hospitals, paid for by your taxes.

      If there’s a way to cause injury that won’t fully manifest until after they’ve returned to the US, that’d be better. A trivial medical treatment in Europe is worth a second mortgage in the United States.

        Thats why you hide raw meat in a dish that won’t kill worms / parasites and give it to them, especially meats that are known to have parasites that stay in the body undetected and multiply before causing isses

        Bonus points if you marinate the raw meat in forest floor dirt for the day

        That’d be really expensive in american healthcare

        i don’t think that’s how it works… as an australian we have reciprocal care in some european countries, but not all. i can’t imagine the US would have any reciprocal health agreements, and thus you or insurance would have to pay

        wear a maga hat in Europe? I guess some would, but I’ve never seen any.

        Give 'em some time, it’s just the new version of the cowboy hat. They don’t need to wear those in Europe either, but it never stopped them.

        I was in Paris circa 01, Out on the street there’s a 5’ tall overweight cowboy, Hat, boots, button down flannel, his wife next to him in a 1980’s Sunday dress. He was loudly complaining that no one there spoke english and how it was the language of the world. Then went on at great length to explain how everyone in the country was stupid.

        Most people on the street certainly spoke enough English sufficiently to understand him, they were likely using it as a barrier to keep him at arms length.

    You included UK, Switzerland and Liechtenstein in this image, but not Norway (or Iceland)? Well fuck you. /s

    Seriously, Sweden looks like a penis with Finland balls without Norway…

        I think you should change it. The following arguments are political, but i think they are important to be heard.

        There is no reason, why this seems to represent the EU instead of Europe, but then arbitrarily includes the UK and Switzerland, while excluding Norway, which undoubtedly is part of “Europe” even in the limited western European sense.

        Also saying this map to represent “Europe” while Ukraine and all the non EU balkan Nations are not included seems to reinforce Putins ideas of which nation belongs into which sphere. I am sure this was not your intention. However Ukraine also needs economic ties to the western parts of the European continent more than ever, both during the war and whatever comes after it.

              Unless we’re looking to conquer it?

              No thanks. That’s like eating something you find under your seat on a public bus on a hot summer’s day.

                I’ve never had proper borscht, but cabbage can be pretty stinky when boiled, and beets taste like dirt to me.

      Unfortunately I can’t delete Whatsapp any time soon, for a long time I tried to convince my friends to use signal, but I just can’t get them to switch. Also basically any handyman, plumber, painter, etc I know uses Whatsapp.

        Same but they have text messages too. I just tell them it doesn’t work on my phone, which is true because I use grapheme OS and no play store. People also will get signal if you give them no other option to contact you - its free, they’re just lazy. Just text them your username and tell them you left WhatsApp, you don’t need to ask permission

      Done yesterday! The remaining bit is using WhatsApp with family and moving them all to something else…

      Getting out of the Google and Amazon spheres is proving trickier but already changed my Pixel’s OS and transferred my cloud to a tag digital next cloud account.

    Any Europe store’s that ship globally ?

    Also by the way MemoryC doesn’t count because they have a american arm or their business

    I know this because i got SSD’s from them and customer support was helpful even when they gave me someone else’s receipt with personal details the first time because my first name was the same but I probably won’t be shopping with them due to the fact they sent another customers details to me.

    Edit: also reminds me of the time Aramex (a shipping courier) sent me the details of someone else because a seller accidentally reused a tracking number somehow, I got that package after contacting my local depot because it nearly got sent back

    Watching Europe get the Colonization treatment has been crazy. They’re getting wrung out some third world colony. And not even a good one.

    The Philippines gets more respect than this. Qatar gets more respect. El Salvador gets more love.
