You could register on couch surfing, it might be a good place to meet people once you start exploring options in Europe. You can also ask questions and advice, there is also events organised by people so it works a bit like a forum/ social media platform. You don't have (the intent) to host or stay with someone to use it as as a source of local info: https://www.couchsurfing.com/

Also maybe this is valuable (maybe less if you're only interested in moving around in the Schengen area): https://www.passportindex.org/passport/united-states-of-america/

Well I'm sure as hell not gonna forget, can they just stop already

I read the headline and couldn't believe it

It's called capitalism fasion.

This is not a meme (͡•_ ͡• ) But take my upvote!

Signed it, wether it helps or not worth the effort

Please me know if you get a picture of a tattooed ball sack, I have a kink

Europe might find a bunch of small allies all over the world though, democracies hanging on thight against autocratic bullies. We, the people of all free countries, just need to stick together as much as possible.

China has been accused time and time again.

This is from July 2023: https://www.politico.eu/article/china-firms-russia-body-armor-bullet-proof-drones-thermal-optics-army-equipment-shanghai-h-win/

This is from May 2024: https://www.bbc.com/news/60571253

I'm afraid Europe can't and won't let go of their big trade partner as long as China keeps a 'low profile' in the war. We are supporting our side much more then China supports their side. China might lie about their support of Russia, but I think secret service agents and government officials know the extent of Chinese involvement. But it's a good thing media is putting pressure on western governments.

I also didn't notice any serious bias or censoring, so I read the articles in other comments. In it they deny any outside influence.

Euronews said in a statement that it “does not know the details of the controlling shareholdings in the company” but it “contests and denies any idea or suggestion regarding editorial interference in its news mission”.

It said its Budapest bureau has continued to work in full independence over the past two years.

I believe that, but reading this news makes me sceptical to be honest. Especially since their CEO seems to have been fired https://www.politico.eu/article/guillaume-dubois-euronews-media-company-ceo-fired/

Even before the Euronews investment, there were attempts by government circles to expand into foreign media markets. As Direkt36 and other newspapers have previously reported, pro-government actors have invested significant sums in the media markets of Balkan countries, with the apparent aim of helping local allies of the Orbán government there.

In addition to the Euronews investment, David and his business partner bought a Portuguese weekly newspaper, “Nascer do Sol”, and a daily newspaper, “I”. According to Expresso’s research, these two newspapers are owned by the same Dubai-registered company, Alpac Capital, as Euronews.

So what I seem to get from this all is a fascist is trying to get media outlets on his side. This is not something new, but them paying the bill doesn't have to mean they get any influence. Maybe that goal hasn't been achieved yet.

I'll try and keep my eyes open. But probably will continue reading Euronews for now.

I hope so, but if their intent is to commit fraud what is and isn't legal might not prevent them from ending up with manipulated results

One that triggers me is the one about post work society, because it reminds me of the work of a Dutch artist who died 20 years ago, he believed that one day humans no longer would have to work and he made models and drawings of what he called New Babylon. https://stichtingconstant.nl/constant/periods/new-babylon-1956-1974

I find looking at the future also very interesting if you look not from here but from a place in the past. Just like 2001: A Space Odyssey, of this man (Kubrick) who envisioned the time we live in now very differently as to what it actually turned out to be.

But to me honest, I would probably end up talking about the steps that lay before us now (the next 5-25 years) than actually imagine myself if I lived a 100 years from now; don't know why that is.

O thought you meant power-broker as in energy-seller, but I guess you mean like being the spider in the web

Too bad I'm not an older person

How do you become a power broker if you are a net-importer unlike Russia and the US who produce more then they consume?

Yes, but in comparison to a federation only the information will survive because it was copied out of the central system, but the system will fail as soon as the company folds. I mean the reason the fact that you need a 3rd party mirror to save the data proves the flaws of the 1st party. This instance for example doesn't need to be mirrored because it is built on a foundation that already has redundancy built in.

Cool, wasn't immediately clear to me when I opened the website but I did again just now and seems like fun questions to talk about!

Goes for behind their back as well. Unless there is only straight makes, in that case it's another reason.

Like you would use conversation cards? Or would those people not use the website during their conversation?

Good news sure, but I would rather have someone come in and take over our postal services. The service of companies that deliver packages is getting worse and worse while they pay their people less and less. But who knows, if they keep growing they might start doing b2c as well :)
