I guess some people really like giant roosters… and eggs.

To hell with all the bullshitting.

The EU managed to have about 97% tire recovery, so why should the US not be capable of it as well?

Its central location means you share borders with eight neighbouring countries, making it effortless to cross into new cultures within just a few hours.

Oh, you are right. I never even noticed. Germany has 9, and I used to think that’s a lot.
So I guess both AT and DE play in the same league as MUCH larger countries, like BR, CN or RU, in terms of connectivity.

Hmm, I don’t know. Vatican?
Come on, give us a clue, please.

People sometimes focus on the bad things way too much. At my company, we just had elections for our work council*. Not many other countries, especially outside of Europe, make it possible for you to regularly elect a part of your management, let alone enshrine this right in their constitutions. And the council finished a LOT of projects to improve working conditions in the past few years, and more is to come.
Anything else?

And that’s not even counting the egregious “cloned threats” where, within the span of one or a few days, the exact same comments, but with all-different user names, are being copied underneath two headlines with similar topics; or the weird, LLM-written and machine-translated comments that very badly match the topic at hand or the OP they’re replying to, something that’s especially obvious if you visit non-English-language subs.

Oh, wow. There it is. The keyboard of my dreams.
Using one of these while on acid does not seem advisable, though.
