I’m not talking about becoming centrists, i’m talking about building coalitions. There are core issues many people can agree upon, and treat each other under the motto “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. Details can be discussed later, when the threat is less urgent. History has a few examples on what happens, when the left treats other democrats as the enemy. The most infamous one should be the German KPD. They declared the SPD and social democracy as the main enemy. I don’t think i need to point out how that ended. The thing about democracy is, that you will never get everyone to agree 100% with each other. But you can agree with enough topics to prevent a dictatorship.

Multiple factors led to the US declaration of war on Great Britain that began the War of 1812:[26]

• Trade restrictions introduced by the UK under the orders in council of 1807 to impede trade with France, with whom Britain was at war (the US contested the restrictions as illegal under contemporary international law).[27] The impressment (forced recruitment) of seamen on US vessels into the British Royal Navy (men who Britain claimed were British subjects).
• British military support for American Indian tribes who were offering armed resistance against the US expansion of the American frontier in the Northwest Territory.
• A possible desire by the US to annex some or all of Canada.[28]
• US desire to uphold national honor in the face of what they considered to be British insults, such as the Chesapeake affair.[29]

It’s kinda funny, how the right-wingers consistently manage to infiltrate parties and turn them into a vehicle for their own agenda, while the left-wingers are either busy fighting each other, or fighting whatever they perceive as “centrist”. Funny in a sad way.

Now compare it to the water used to grow animal feed and the animals themselves.

I know how they work, and why they work. But i don’t understand why the universe allows them to work.

I may have to get checked…

There are probably plenty of different products with different recipes out there. Might also depend on what’s readily available in the region.

Fun fact: Methyl cellulose is actually used as a form of glue, but is also used in food. It’s derived from cellulose. This also happens to be the stuff those anti-vegan fanatics are referring to, when they claim that vegan alternatives have “wallpaper paste” in them (while ignoring that it’s also used in some meat products and ice cream).

Found the American

They’re called 15 minute cities

Or just the average European city or small town

Can’t wait to see a server meltdown in orbit…

Common mistake. He was actually talking about Piece. A piece of Iran, a piece of Venezuela, a piece of Greenland…

Literally every single city bus in my small German 50k home town is wheelchair accessible. The bus drivers are also required to assist. And the trains are increasingly being replaced with similarly accessible versions, including modifications to the platforms to allow easy entry. U-Bahn trains are, as far as i know, always accessible for a long, long time now. At least in the cities i’ve visited so far. For example Munich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3CA46JXd2g

For less connected areas, we have a “Rufbus”, that can come and collect you similarly to a taxi service. They try to get multiple people if they can. And they also have cars for wheelchair users at their disposal.

In terms of automating, yes it’s slow. Regulations have to be applied or worked out to make it work. Which is reasonable. Nuremberg does have the first driverless U-Bahn, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_U-Bahn
