Right, so to fight the declining birthrate, they entertain the idea that women over 25 should not be allowed to marry. And on top of that, women over the ripe, old age of 30 get their uteruses removed.

I am sure this totally would serve as an incentive to breed more and not at all make existing problems worse.

What a baka.

No, that’s cooler than being cool

I assume most don’t end up in Russia but in richer EU countries. Those cars are repaired and made presentable again in some backyard mechanic shop in Georgia and the Baltics, then thrown on the used car market.

Bleurgh!

They are just ahead of the curve! Big business will soon join them. Invest in Lemmy now!

Now you are just misinterpreting my points and starting to sound silly.

Refugees and migrants are two different groups. Migrants are long term residents. Refugees are not.

The fact that it is common does not mean it is a good practice.

IF there was decent AI translation, the whole issue would not be existant, would it?

I am quite happy to be able to discuss with you in a foreign language, without the help of AI. It means I am independent, which is a kind of freedom that, to me, belongs to feeling human.

Whilst I agree with some of your points, the notion that Europe “may be bad at migration” and being “shit” to others whilst protecting their culture comes of as uninformed at best and holier than thou preachy at worst.

No one is under the illusion that a migrant has to speak perfectly. But they should be competent enough to function in order to integrate into the society.

I have plenty of experience in my social circle where this is not the case. Those people rely on friends and family when it comes to simple tasks such as doctor appointments.

Concerning the language issue, it does not matter that a language is “globally niche”.

If people want to migrate to a specific country long term, the spoken language has to be learned to become a member of society and prevent the forming of parallel societies.

One side clearly is the aggressor here. To pick their side is not a good look and makes other countries question China’s intentions.

Played alot of the original on PC and then even more when VF4 came out on the PS2.

Back when it was VF vs Tekken, VF was my choice as I did not like the Tekken mechanics.

My favourite 3d fighting series has to be DoA though.

I must say, I did not notice this lately.

If this really is the case it would mean a big step back. 30 years or so ago, censoring was mainly due to prudish broadcasting networks.

Nowadays it probably will be to not offend the easily offended crowd. Let’s hope it won’t catch on.

Nomen est omen

So if I am reading this correctly, the problem is that UK students are not interested in going abroad (weak foreign language skills) and many Continental European students want to come to the UK (as almost everyone is learning English).

This means the UK has to pay more money than it receives.

But with this money, they would be ‘buying’ the chance to hold the interest of highly educated young people, who might love the British way of life and come back to work in the UK…

Sounds like just another step into economical and cultural irrelevancy.

Wait, the thing about ads while fueling your car is real?

WTF?!

European view here, with a question:

I understand the US has always stood by Israel. Some reasons geopolitical, some religious and some business related.

Wouldn’t every president who would actively block military or financial aid to Israel or even whisper the word sanctions be a pariah in his own government?

How would the media react?

How would the big players and decision makers in politics, religion and business react?
