Why do Danes all have a potato in their mouth?
Note to self: For learning a scandinavian language - learn Swedish instead of Danish.
Fair, but on March 26 the initial Schengen-Borders will have been basically nonexistent for 30 years.
the US-Canadian border has been one of, if not the, most peaceful borders in the entire world.
the most peaceful and mutually beneficial border on Earth.
Tell me your views are extremely America-centric without telling me.
The only way you can have those views is if you know nothing about the EU at all.
Wodan, Wotan, Woden, Uuoden or Wuotan are just the continental germanic spellings of the name, while Odin is nordic. They all go back to proto-germanic Wōðanaz.
The Old English Wōden of course going back to the Anglo and Saxon invasion of England.
Walk without rythm, and you won’t attract the cops.
It’s a lingua franca, and I don’t even think it’s about being easy to learn… avalanche effects are completely sufficient to explain its status. Many people already speak English, so more people learn English to speak with them, now even more people speak English, and so on, and so forth… the development of any lingua franca only depends on the ability to talk to as many people as possible. It’s absolutely a bonus if it’s easy and quickens the process, but at some point the pure amount of speakers outside ones own country becomes the overwhelming factor.
Being the child of a tourist is not the same as being raised somewhere.
The kind of Ius Soli the US practices gives citizenship to the children of tourists and people being born in a plane flying over the country, without having been raised there.
Most european nations have special citizenship rights if you grew up in that nation or were born there after one of your parents has resided there at least some time.
Example Germany:
Children of non-German parents acquire German citizenship at birth if at least one parent has a permanent residence permit and resided in Germany for at least five years prior to the child’s birth.
Btw. after residing legally in Germany for 5 years the parent can themselves acquire german citizenship, so can the child upon turning 18, even if they weren’t born in Germany.
Example France:
Children born in France to foreign parents may acquire citizenship from age 13 subject to residence conditions. A child born in France to foreign parents becomes a French citizen automatically upon turning 18, provided that they reside in France on their 18th birthday and have had their primary residence in France for a total (but not necessarily continuous) period of at least 5 years since the age of 11. Children born in France to two stateless parents receive French nationality automatically at birth.
Also you can always go through the normal ways of acquiring citizenship. Upon turning 18 and having been raised in the country you usually fulfill all requirements for it.
Ugh… top shitpost
People born in a country should have citizenship.
Why?
I was sure this was a dunk on Deutsche Bahn, but now you’re making me doubt it.
Yes, there is a strong case that voter suppression won him the race in 2016 and 2024
wondering which country out of the many performing all this better than the US is described
Decent mass transit, although railways are a disgrace.
Ah, got it.
Why would you ship a small car to a country in love with the biggest streetpanzers?
I’m german, but my families traditional recipe was influenced by my uncle from the netherlands. It is basically uienstamppot with bratwurst and applesauce as a variation on “Himmel un Ääd” and it’s sooooo tasty. I can never eat normal mashed potatoes when uienstamppot is so much better!
With potatoes and mettwurst! Yum!!! Now I need to make Grünkohl before it’s too warm outside to eat kale.
Eh… I’ll come out as a Brony here, albeit not of the clopping variety, which allows me to speak more freely.
There are many SFW and even child friendly spaces in Bronydom. Many of us have children ourselves and just enjoy the neurotics and fresh silliness of the show and even sillier subculture. The fandom is just chock full of nerdy references which often got picked up by the show, because the creators are huge nerds as well and love to signal to the knowledgeable audience. Just like Sponge Bob has lots of adult jokes hidden in child friendly dialogue.
Are there very, very much NSFW spaces in Bronydom? Yes, hell definitely, I’ve stumbled into and then quickly out again of a few… generally they are not worse than r34, but… you know… lowest possible bar. But r34 will definitely abuse anyone of the notion that THEIR specific fandom produces any less yucky stuff than ours does.
The problem is more that for a time Bronies were very loud, obnoxious and accumulated a toxic part of the fandom, before they were quarantined and shamed into the shadows. Personally I find it quite sad that us SFW Bronies often catch a lot of the shaming thrown at those who deserve it. SFW Brony expression (and NSFW if securely kept away from children) is quite fun and often comes without much of the toxic masculinity often associated with male fandoms.
Love to see it
