Mass tourism.

Mass tourism is a cancer that needs to be irradiated from any proper city. That shit brings very little money, and mobs of unruly, uneducated dimwits that think they own someone’s soul because they spent €5 on a couple of the cheapest drinks on the menu.

What is that 2 - 12 kmh sign? A speed limit for a pedestrian road?

What do you mean, potatoes are closer to tomatoes than to sweet potatoes or onions?

Botany is a scam.

This.

Also, upgrade to Linux.

And probably made of chocolate? I can see where they might have picked that one up.

You’re not very good at this…

Well I mean, if you fell asleep with that cute, satisfied look, it was absolutely worth it!

Hi Stan. I meant to write you sooner, but I’ve just been busy.

I heard the “OUTCH!” In this image.

Don’t know about availability in the US, but at least in Europe there are many, many alternatives out there, both from traditional brands (Mercedes, BMW, etc etc) and more recently, from Chinese brands.

A friend bought a BYD Seal the other day, he got a total bargain for their top version at 41k€, but that got me looking into them, and their lineup is looking pretty impressive.

In Europe at least, Chinese cars.

Last month on my neck of the woods, YoY car sales were up 16% and yet Tesla was down 68% this month alone, while BYD was up 331,6% (yes, 3 digits).

With these changes, Tesla isn’t even in the top 10 anymore (at one point it was #2!) and has been leapfrogged by BYD, who seems very likely to continue climbing and break into the top 3 sellers.

Tesla is dead.

The idiot digs deeper, and shows his true colours. Asinine.

He who sucketh a dick can accommodate a second one.

Why are you crossing out China?

Did you miss the massive investments China is doing there, to buy influence?

Here’s one: https://www.businessinsider.com/satellite-photos-show-byds-massive-hungary-factory-taking-shape-2025-4

No. We get exactly what his comment is about.

If he was in the renewables camp, there would be no point, in this discussion over solar, to bring up nuclear. It’s absolutely unrelated.

What he’s doing is pushing the thought into people’s heads that nuclear is a good solution, and that’s why I’m calling him out for. For being a shill.

No. I type less.

This is the sort of stupidification of issues that we see from bot farms: cherry pick one point, then blow it out of proportion so that there’s no more nuance, no more gray, no room for middle ground.

Everything becomes black and white, polarised, simple: with us or against us.

Fucking moron.

This just hands over an EU country to the Russian and Chinese influences, which is why Hungary is where it’s at in the first place.

This is the kind of thing that needs covert counter-ops: undermine and question orban at every online forum, constantly make Putin look bad, push against every single government policy, etc.

So basically what they’re doing to every other western nation.

How idiotic.

Maybe the French word does have that origin, and other languages adapted it “differently”?

In Italian for example, this is called cooking “al cartoccio”, where paper is “carta” and butterfly is something else entirely.

I was trying to check Larousse but it keeps blocking me so meh. Perhaps both are true, as you said.
