Fun fact: 10 billion braincells is about 10% of 1 person's brain. Acceptable losses. Those videos of Jordan Peterson as a GDI commander go hard btw.

In the Netherlands a lot of people love extremely spicy food. You can buy very hot peppers imported or grown in greenhouses like Carolina reaper or Scorpion peppers, there is hot sauce everywhere. I have in my cupboard, tabasco, sriracha sauce, sambal, chili peppers, cayenne pepper, and hot sauce my brother makes from Scorpion peppers which is very spicy. Because of our colonial history wit Indonesia and Suriname, peppers and spicy food have been part of our cuisine for a long time.

In the Netherlands we have a similar medium called "Jomanda". She said that she could put healing power into bottles of tap water by holding them in her hands. (lmao) Eventually there was a riot because some tv delibrity died of breast cancer and this medium allegedly told her that she didnt need to go to a doctor because she didnt really have cancer. She then moved to Canada to continue her grift there are was never convicted for her role in this death. Theres so many crazy grifting people out there and even in the information age people want to believe ridiculous things.

@vlad-dracul Thats not the worst theory, there are a lot of good reasons to believe the flood myth from bronze age civilisations is about the flooding of the black sea which was cut off from mediterranean for a long time at a lower sea level. There are ruins at over 30m below current sea level along the black sea coast from civlisations from that period. At some point the land barrier between mediterranean and black sea broke through and the lake which was at a much lower water level was flooded. To people living back then that must have been the literal end of the world.

My French is terrible, but I had Latin in school. Out of curiosity (not that I plan to learn Romanian) but how far removed is it from Latin?

This very alibi confronts us with the first of many paradoxes concerning Balkan: its geographic delimitation was never precise. It is as if one can never receive a definitive answer to the question, "Where does it begin?" For Serbs, it begins down there in Kosovo or Bosnia, and they defend the Christian civilization against this Europe's Other. For Croats, it begins with the Orthodox, despotic, Byzantine Serbia, against which Croatia defends the values of democratic Western civilization. For Slovenes, it begins with Croatia, and we Slovenes are the last outpost of the peaceful Mitteleuropa. For Italians and Austrians, it begins with Slovenia, where the reign of the Slavic hordes starts. For Germans, Austria itself, on account of its historic connections, is already tainted by the Balkanic corruption and inefficiency. For some arrogant Frenchmen, Germany is associated with the Balkanian Eastern savagery — up to the extreme case of some conservative anti-European-Union Englishmen for whom, in an implicit way, it is ultimately the whole of continental Europe itself that functions as a kind of Balkan Turkish global empire with Brussels as the new Constantinople, the capricious despotic center threatening English freedom and sovereignty. So Balkan is always the Other: it lies somewhere else, always a little bit more to the southeast, with the paradox that, when we reach the very bottom of the Balkan peninsula, we again magically escape Balkan. Greece is no longer Balkan proper, but the cradle of our Western civilization.

Watch any historical video about the netherlands and you will see a real wrong map. Because we didnt steal our land from anyone else :)

This god mother thing isnt really a conspiracy, its just a leftover from extremely ancient pagan religions, who worshipped fertility and portrayed the goddess of fertility as a fat middle aged woman with extremely huge honkers. The weird head shape is probably related to head wrapping which was practiced not just in meso-american civilisations but also by eurasian steppe people and by egyptians and many other ancient cultures as well. The More You Know.

Must be nice living in a country with sane border policies where nationalism is only for the poor (are there even poor people in Swiss?)

Thats because its rare for Americans to speak any languages, most of them arent even native speaker level at English. Chinese people knowing English, especially ones who travel, are not as rare as an American that speaks a foreign language.

I honestly think its hilarious that even in 21st century different people in the Balkan area are accusing each other of not being as white as the other. Infinite source of memes.

Spoiler alert: it was the gypsies themselves who did those people

The thing was having a car in the city is, not only will you not be able to get anywhere, you also will not have anywhere to park unless you want to pay ridiculous prices per hour for a paid parking garage. So its usually cheaper and faster to just walk, ride a bike or take public transport, even if it is crowded.
1
@methatis3013 You can rent a car to go on vacation. Dont need to own one. Also, lots of people go on family trips without car. You can, for example, fly where you're going, travel by international train, or go on a bike tour with a tent in your bags and camp in your own country. I havent been on vacation in a car in years. Im also curious, can you give me one example of a city in Europe that has easy free parking options and no traffic jams? because I dont know any.
1
@methatis3013 i have a very different experience, every city in the netherlands has constant traffic on all major roads, even though car use is discouraged and the parking is very expensive. also, i can book a return flight from amsterdam to london or paris for 30 euro, driving back and forth to paris would cost more than that in gas. airline fuel is untaxed.
1
@methatis3013 i dont like cars because i dont like being stuck in traffic, having to constantly avoid accidents from other bad drivers. driving in my country involves three near death experiences per day. also, its very expensive. if you add up the write off on the purchase cost, maintenance, road tax, insurance and gas, owning a car would cost me at least 500 euro per month. my employer fully pays for my commute by public transport and my personal travel is about 50-100 euro per month. so i am saving about 5000 a year not having a car. add that up for ten years and you have a nice investment fund. cars are also an extrenely wasteful and inefficient way to move people. imagine if a society invested all the money spent on asphalt and buying cars, on public transport and other useful things, it would be much better. everyone would get to work on time, no one stuck in traffic, people would have more free time, there would be much less traffic accidents, and then you would still have 80% of the money left.
1
@methatis3013 cars are only a good option if you have no other option that's actually good. trains and buses and airplanes are cheaper because of scale size. moving 50 people in one bus is much cheaper than 50 people buying their own car. they are generally faster as well. modern trains can easily do 150-200km/h. not high speed trains, just regular trains. they also take up much less space than all the cars, all the highway lanes and all the parking spaces. for what a car costs to own each year, you can afford to buy a lot of train and airplane tickets. you apparently live in a country with very bad public transport, that doesnt make cars good, it makes your public transport bad.
1
@methatis3013 just try to imagine the cost of building, maintaining and fueling millions of cars, laying, repairing and resurfacing all those multi lane roads and highways, the cost of all the time people spend in traffic jams instead of working or relaxing, the cost of all the traffic accidents, hospital visits and premature exits from life. thats not even mentioning the huge environmental cost of the air pollution from exhausts and the pollution from building cars and the pollution from electric car batteries. you could have much better quality of life in a world that isnt centered around cars but around people.
1
@methatis3013 no. a car is less reliable than a train. more likely to be stuck in a traffic jam than to have a train delay. more likely to have a car accident than a train accident. more likely for a car to break down than a train. it basically never happens. if your trains have a lot of delay that means your country has bad public transport. the netherlands has the best road infrastructure in the world. the safest, best maintained and best designed roads anywhere. it is also the most densely populated country in europe. there is not enough space to build enough highways for everyone to drive where they want to go. public transport is the only solution. it is also the only way to achieve carbon neutral. no country that allows personal ownership of cars can ever meet climate targets. it works here and it would work for you. only reason public transport is a bad option is if you live on a farm 30km away from the nearest town of a few thousand people.

Church wine is indeed disgusting, it is sad that this is your only experience with fermented grape juice.
