Haven’t haka (is that the plural term?) been performed in parliament before without issue?

I have two main gripes with the video:

1. Skyscrapers are overkill, just making middle density the norm in our suburbs would go a long way. Spanish cities can be used as inspiration.
2. Supply alone won’t fix housing unaffordability, which is also driven by privatisation of the housing market, cash-strapped local governments raising land prices after budget cuts and homeowners not wanting to see their homes lose value.

The channel as a whole gives me a bad vibe as well, it comes across as aka Dutch redditor

From what I remember they help you find a “high-impact career”; they provide a guide, other resources and have videos around that theme presented by prominent people. In a previous NJB video sponsored by them you can see that they had Sam Bankman-Fried on their website.

Admittedly, I have little experience to go off of, so I may be comparing it more to typical commuter rail than I should. My only real experience is travelling from my hometown in the Netherlands to Hamburg for a school field trip. I had the typical Deutsche Bahn experience of train delays (usually less than 30 minutes at least) and on the way there one train just wasn’t running, so I had to take a detour and technically board the InterCity Express at the wrong station.

I also almost got stranded in the countryside at night because the last train of the day was bit by bit delayed by over an hour and I was panicking that it would be cancelled.

International rail travel in Europe is a mess because almost every country has different electrification necessitating changing locomotives or intercompatible trains, cross-border services are an afterthought for national railways companies which we are ‘fixing’ by throwing private rail services on top, creating a mess that makes you dependent on middlemen railway planners.

International rail journeys often require many transfers, often long ones too, which increases the chance of one of the intermediate trains being delayed or cancelled and ruining your schedule.

Sleeper trains like Nightjet exist now, but you have to book weeks or even months in advance to find a seat.

And all of this while often being multiple times more expensive than flying. A summer holiday by train is a splurge.

I see…

The term itself precedes World War 2, Raphael Lemkin coined it in the wake of the Armenian Genocide, I’m pretty sure.

I think the right flag in his username is the flag of Moldova too, presumably on purpose for irredentist reasons.

BadEmpanada made a video arguing that the term “genocide” should be done away with because of how much it muddies the waters (as an example he compared the Srebrenica Massacre, declared a genocide in court, versus comparable massacres elsewhere in Bosnia that weren’t). It also overlaps with a bunch of other legal terms like crimes against humanity, so it ends up diminishing atrocities that come close but for one reason or another aren’t considered one.

He once retweeted Alex Jones

Former Slovenian PM Janez Janša.

I thought Hitler was a vegetarian, not fully vegan.

I didn’t know the reference and thought the sword stopped just short of their face to simply scare them because the protagonist is “too good for killing”, or that the female character simply missed.

I did see Part 9 in the list of takedowns

A Saudi in Germany committed a terror attack recently in the same vain as ISIS’ attack on a Christmas market in Berlin, for Germany not being Islamophobic enough. I wouldn’t dismiss the possibility, fascists are never satisfied.

I’m guessing it’s in reaction to this thread: https://hexbear.net/comment/6153600

Lots of people making posts in response to other posts lately…

I want this regardless of technology, I often struggle with doing assignments at home because the thought of doing it alone gives me anxiety.

Pluto is the biggest dwarf planet

Eris is the most massive and initially thought to be the largest too, but now it’s known to be slightly smaller than Pluto. It was discovered in 2005, it initially appearing bigger than Pluto, plus the discovery of many similar, smaller objects nearby is what prompted the discussion of reclassification.

The universe is messy and any definition is going to encounter edge cases: planet-or-star edge cases became “brown dwarfs” and now there are also “sub-brown dwarfs” for its edge cases.

Was gonna mention it too.
