Unfortunately, the “trend” is also increasingly arriving in Europe… The best thing is the self-service tills, which are supposed to save staff costs and then the question of donations for doing the work yourself. Well, I don’t like that sort of thing on principle and if I donate, I give the money to the person who deserves it. So only in cash anyway.

There is also a huge difference between donations (unsolicited) and begging (requests). It should definitely be considered begging by the company in question with all the legal consequences such as tax evasion etc.

For God’s sake… Take care of your damn hands! How can you actually be so extremely abnormal. Gross, disgusting, insane

Before: able to recognize sidewalk and use it After: cheap excuses… not used to bike lanes so from blocking… fully blocking the reduced road… Sidewalk is not used. Sry they are absolutely antisocial in the picture. As a cyclist I would definitely not slow down.

But I understand your hypocritical double standards… Me me me me me…

Lol But the mods also seem to be anti-bike and anti-everything-but-pedestrians.

Exactly. Before they walk civilized on the sidewalk… Afterwards like brainrotten.

I’m sorry to disappoint you, I’m just a cyclist.

Lol before: civilized. Afte: just brainrotten. Pedestrians in street, Bike lane und sidewalk.

Mitchell Baker is gone. New management structure and new focus on “privacy-friendly” advertising, AI, etc.

They can handle one protest at one location. Make a list of 20 protest sites, and pass it out to everyone. When the riot cops show up in force leave. Quickly. Move to another site. Keep forcing them to either pull out of a previous site, or spread themselves thin.
In democracy this works.
In fascism its not working because at some Point they just start Shooting and spread fear.

Before all the high positions were filled by Trump, there should have been riots. Now Trump has integrated his system. In a democracy, protests in 20 different locations can be more challenging. Since police would have to respect laws… In fascism, however, this is no longer of any use, because if necessary the 20 positions are then decimated by force of arms. It’s too late. People have peacefully watched democracy being dismantled.

No, it’s too late for that and they slept through it. You are talking about a democracy where the rights of protesters are respected. Under fascism, such things are easy to suppress. Trump was able to replace enough people in his time… Now that it’s already too late, people are desperate to act… especially with peaceful protests against the police etc. who can hardly wait to smash your heads in.

Ah yes, chat control, the crackdown on encryption, backdoors, etc., all forgotten? So now thousands of French people are deliberately using VPNs for something that is now illegal. Well, the politicians won’t take advantage of this to take action against VPNs and encryption… To protect the children, of course…
