Even if it did actually track crime and lead to convictions, I don’t care. I do not want government spying devices on every corner

most products in Europe include the ones for serving size as well
Disagree at least in the case of Germany. It was 50/50 at best. Although almost every food item I’ve seen in France has both

It’s not even that the labels are sometimes cryptic. Like sure I have 400g of cheese, but how many grams is a single slice? This information is not included on the brand I buy, nor the number of slices.
So I either have to weigh a slice of cheese or count out the number of slices. Then do the math.
In the US it simply says 1 slice is x calories.
I won’t understand this backwards sense of pride in shitty labeling.
- Comment on This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄 3 days ago:
Okay, but let’s say you have 35g of sauce. It’s labeled as 2 servings that equal x calories. Easy math to figure out what you ate.
When 100g is x calories and you have to do the math it’s a bit more annoying. Even worse when you have to break out the scale.

Woods, family vacations tended to often be in the mountains
Never been to a hotel in the middle of the woods with no other guests
- Comment on Going Back ↪️🏨 1 week ago:
I’ve had good luck, but most of the time for a 1 night stay a hotel is better.
If it’s multiple nights or a group that’s where airbnb is more appealing. You have to put in the work to read everything the owner posts and the reviews to figure out if they are they type to engage in shenanigans. It’s worked so far, but ridiculous to have to check for it
- Comment on Going Back ↪️🏨 1 week ago:
People always say this, but I’ve never run into any issues. Booking a cabin for the family or a week long stay can still be the more cost effective option. I always read the reviews and rules in depth before booking.
The types of places that will pull what you describe usually are pretty apparent.
Obviously it’s still fucked that I the consumer have to go through all of that when Airbnb could just make some standards, but oh well.
Personally now I avoid Airbnbs except for the two cases I mentioned. Groups and extended stays. Yes extended stay hotels do exist too, but they are hit and miss imo.

That was explained well by the post. It allegedly led to a trailhead. I see these types of crosswalks near trails often.
Still AI, but the story checked out

Especially the part where they didn’t have a primary and picked the VP of the unpopular incumbent.
I fully believe if they had a primary the winner would be president

I think they may actually believe themselves, this is going beyond normal trolling.

As an American living in Germany ❤️ DB
I know it used to be better, and compared to neighboring nations its bad, but I’ve never had access to a better transit system.
Plus I do feel like DB is not given enough credit for its volume of trains. No other country in Europe is running so many trains so frequently. You have several hourly train routes that would be a bus ride every 3 hours in other European nations

D-Ticket and ride 3 trains and take 3 times as long to get there, but it’s cheap
- Comment on I'll take it to all 2 place it goes! 4 weeks ago:
Only reasonably priced am amtrack route over seen is Trenton to New York. Takes about an hour and goes from $15 to $60 depending on time.
I’m sure it can get higher at particularly peak dates

Once again being an RN is a 4 year degree. Are you thinking of LPN?
- Comment on get a job you loser 4 weeks ago:
You are still making some very big assumptions on how easy it is to drop a career and swap to a new one. Do people do it? Yes they do, but it’s not easy.
Once you have things like a family, car payment, mortgage, etc. It can be really hard to restart.
Also being a registered nurse takes 4 years plus certifications. Being a teacher varies wildly state to state.
You are definitely approaching this from a mindset of being either just in college or early/no career and having low liabilities/commitments in life. Which if that’s where you are I encourage people in that stage of to seek out something rewarding. It only gets harder the long you wait in life and the more you develop the career you are in.
- Comment on get a job you loser 4 weeks ago:
I mean it definitely is. Yes those jobs have openings now, but if too many people switch then suddenly there are no more openings.
Also both of those positions require specific education and certifications. It’s not always that easy to drop what you’re doing and entirely reinvent your career
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
And that’s exactly the point. We’re so fatigued and separated through the anonymity of the internet that we really have lost the ability to empathize.
Our first reaction is anger or ridicule. Not concern or compassion
