Governments are clamping down on protests against climate change: * silence *
Some idiots cut down speed cameras the people living there specifically asked for: YEAH! Fuck the police!!!1! Rage against the machine!!!1! Fuck mass surveillance!!!1!
Priorities , I guess.

Yes. Yes I did. I took both pills, ground them up to very manageable pieces, took a straw and just very disciplined snorted everything up.
And then I asked for more pills.
Ahahaha, tell me you’ve never left your country, probably not even your fucking state.
Yeah, all of Europe doesn’t know how to tow, and is „sketchy as fuck“. 🤡
This is perfectly legal and safe.
You know what’s sketchy as fuck? The US, which has 3 times more road deaths per capita than the EU.
Now go back to your wankpanzer, please.
Shouldn’t have wished to live in more interesting times …
a) that road definitely is not with a speed limit over 50 and b) you cannot pass even a single bike here in a safe manner, in Germany for example it would be a misdemeanor to even try.
Where do you see another vehicle “waiting to pass”? There’s absolutely nothing in this picture telling you how much traffic there is, how wide the road is, etc. Nothing.
What can be seen in the picture, however, is a car that, no matter the speed, is tailgating way too close. Which is a misdemeanor in some countries.
And no one, absolutely nobody, has said otherwise.
Go shift your goalposts somewhere else. You said cyclists didn’t pay for roads. You’re wrong. Now leave, thx.
Also to consider that the way the shops are build like that is because of cars not foot traffic.
Aah, yes, all the European cities which were built way before the car and look like that were built because of cars 🤡
Right cuz cyclists are totally paying the road fees to keep the road maintained even they don’t cause any damages at all. What was it called? Ah yes. Taxes
If there’s only ten cars per hour you should have plenty of options to pass them …
Well, I mean… this is a bit of a “both sides” thing, maybe. We’re in a not too bad spot, but could do much better, both things can be true I think.
A lot of it is valid criticism, and the situation is quite dire and will be for the unforeseeable future now. And just because the UK is a neoliberal hellhole doesn’t mean Germany should become one as well.
But yeah, there’s also a lot of non-constructive complaining, which frequently comes from people who aren’t even using public transport and just want to justify why they have (“”“neeeed”“”) a car.
BC 50 is only a good option if you frequently need to go on short notice – you get 50% of the Flexpreis, but the same Sparpreis offers as the BC 25, which costs about 1/4 of the BC50.
If you are flexible and can stay out of the busy hours you can still get great deals with the BC25.
I recently booked Berlin to Cologne for 2 people first class for 60€ total. On the way back the train had 2h delay, so I got 40€ refund. All in all about 100€ for a two people round trip.
And if someone wants to start the “2h delay!!!1!” talk: It would have been way worse on the highway, which had a major traffic jam for most of the day. Meanwhile I sat comfortably in the restaurant with beer, currywurst and fries (to quote Harald Juhnke: “no appointments and slightly tipsy” 👋)
I mean, nobody is going to read it anyway now. Might as well just write it tomorrow morning and send it then. Here’s what I’ll do, I go to bed early tonight, get up extra early tomorrow, and then I’ll do it!
