Wasn’t there supposed to be a big one yesterday across all US state capitals?

Game isn’t letting me. Apparently I need to expel diplomats and lower relations first.

Yup. Rare earth minerals are profitable, but ecologically apocalyptic. They don’t want their island to become an ecological disaster zone.

Actually, some are. Some of them are scared of pushing so much the pitchforks come out.

The thing is, they can’t. It’s a unified market. Any tarrif against Denmark is by definition a tarrif against the EU.

Non-German but I am in the EU. Didn’t find it odd at all. Just assumed it was “flow market” in German.

Maybe this’ll finally be the event that causes Canada to drop those ridiculous internal tarrifs and trade barriers.

What if they’ve been studying Bulgarian body language? Then the head shake will be interpreted as “Yes”.

The new Chinese LLM, DeepSeek, has caused a US AI stock market crash. The best analogy I read, elsewhere on Lemmy that icba to dig up right now, is that while Nvidia has been insistent that you need their Rolls Royce or you have to walk, a Chinese company has released an affordable family car.

There’s another factor that nobody mentioned: the sales tax in EU countries is different for different products. This allows countries to incentive or disincentivize different classes of products by ramping the sales tax up or down. Higher tax on junk food, cigarettes and/or alcohol, low or nonexistent sales tax for basic ingredients and medicine.

Interestingly, France and the Czech republic tax wine and beer respectively like basic food.

Isn’t this kinda already the case when you compare California to other states? In terms of subsidizing the rest of the country, not healthcare.

It might surprise you to learn where the word France comes from

EDIT: Also, interestingly, Paris is named after a Celtic tribe. Celtic isn’t Germanic, but normally gets lumped together. Celtic tribes actually predate Germanic ones in what’s now France.

“I don’t want to carry bags all that way!”

Here. Take a backpack.

There’s also a suicide mission available for whoever wants to inform the Finns.

Not Invented Here. Basically, reinventing the wheel just so they can have full control of a project.

Duel citizenships guarantee the right to satisfaction in the ring of honour.

To be fair, it’s not like the bible is any better on women’s rights. It’s just that most modern Christians (thankfully) ignore large parts of their book. There are plenty of fundamentalist Christian groups that have just as bad, or in some cases a worse, culture of misogyny.

Romanian would be either “I’ll put my feet in it” or “I’ll put my dick in it”
