@mikitaposts Individualism as well, which made human rights something people take seriously.

The concept of “human rights” is a Western value

@TheSalonDon Welcome to any interaction with any local business whatsoever in most of EU 😂

HVAC is officially the worst run industry in America Need a full system installed at my new tanning salon Have called 6 places over the last week A girl answers the phone, gets my info and nobody gets back to me

@signulll Because over ear headphones are incredibly more comfortable.

i don’t get why people still use bulky over ear headphones when airpods pro have incredible noise canceling + device switching + excellent sound quality. for everyday + flight use, airpods pro obliterate most of the use cases imho.

@HarryStebbings Pretty sure all of these own their popularity to the US, and their #1 country by revenue is likely the US as well. Also Lovable set up a company in Delaware as soon as they needed funds.

Lovable Legora n8n ElevenLabs Synthesia Attio Fyxer You want to tell me Europe isn’t performing. 🤣 LFG! 🚀

@niccruzpatane I genuinely struggle to understand how this can be considered even remotely funny. Like, how is this what you think of doing with friends to enjoy life?

@T__Waters @Barney_H_Y @dhh Every single country in the EU gets hot at least some time of the year, and most get very hot most of the summer. AC is definitely needed, hence why it's in all hospitals and good new buildings.

UN rightly laments that 3.5x more people die in Europe from heat-related causes than do Americans from guns every year, but instead of recommending AC as the obvious answer, these are their suggestions 🤯. Eco death cult.

@Barney_H_Y @dhh That's simply not true. They convinced people they're too poor to operate a 50-100€ per month machine in summer for 3 months, but they're totally fine paying thousands for heating in winter.

@dhh The main reason Europeans don’t have AC is they’re too poor @dhh… - Energy 2-3x the cost of US - Old housing stock far more expensive to fit - Median disposable income is less than half the US…

@andreasklinger First mover advantage means nothing if we decide to be an open air museum now. Europe has everything it needs to start growing again, but we can't do it with anti-growth mentality and hostile environments for companies that create jobs.

“AC this, wash dryer that, US woohoo, EU boohoo” - Why are we eating this brand-warfare from the outside about us up? Europe has the strongest precision manufacturing in the world, we have leading teams in AI, CV, robotics. Europe is a leader in Automation and Frontier Tech! Not a single NVIDIA chip could be produced without European machines. Not a single American cloud, robotics, or deep-tech firm would operate without European manufacturing or suppliers. But we are too humble. Brainwashed to never celebrate Europe. By outsiders and our local politicians. Time for a change. Europe is the birthplace of industrialization. The home of frontier tech. Time, we act like it. Welcome to the real Europe! 🔥🇪🇺

@eeldenden Give European companies a fighting chance and you'll have real alternatives in the EU. If the EU continues to hate technology and create hostile environments for companies, there's no chance we'll have a reasonable alternative here.

Silicon Valley, Washington and Moscow; united in boosting Russophiles in Europe. Can we just kick them all out already? It's like having a wolf in the hen house

@isfjcutebear 2.97% of the total population of Osaka is foreign. That's nothing compared to any major EU capital.

🚨BREAKING: Thousands of locals marched in OSAKA yesterday demanding an end to immigration

@justalexoki It's an easy excuse politicians can use to explain how their countries are lagging behind, and the quality of life is deteriorating after decades of improvements.

why is EVERYBODY so against immigration now

@QuantumDom @thealepalombo Italy might be improving, but don't be fooled by random articles. It's an incredibly inefficient country. I miss my friends, but I'd never go back until something major changes. A slight increase in GDP per capita in 1 city is not a major change.

We are back.

@dataslag @FearedBuck Because it's a hat, it has 0 value to the millionaire or his kid (he can pay that player to have it), it has a lot of value to the kid. Depriving a kid of a valuable thing that's meaningless to you is just weird. Not illegal, not the worst thing in the world, but just... don't.

A Polish millionaire CEO and businessman was exposed after grabbing a tennis star’s hat that was being given to a child

@vasalex93 @Javiervillagdo @svpino Find me a Windows laptop with outstanding speakers, lightweight, good webcam, awesome microphone, amazing display, very powerful processor, great keyboard, great trackpad, great backlighting, great battery, and a powerful enough GPU to compete with M4's internal one for 1.6k.

@Javiervillagdo @svpino Almost anything with the latest Ryzen or Snapdragon chips. Apple’s chip lead practically vanished. And Apple has higher profit margins so consumers always get worse value from Apple.

This is the best laptop in the world. Period. M4, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 18 hours of battery life, 13 inches, 2.7 lbs. $1,699 with the student discount. I've used it for 6 months, and I haven't missed a Pro, not even once. This laptop has no competition.

@visegrad24 The only acceptable army is a volunteer army. Conscription is a disgusting, immoral, and anti-democratic system that should not exist in any Western country that claims to be free. Citizens are not meat for the grinder.

BREAKING: Finland’s government plans to increase its reserve by 125 000 soldiers to more than one million by 2031 according to a new proposal just introduced to Parliament. If passed, Finland will have the second largest wartime army in Europe after Russia. Despite the country’s population being only 5.6 million, Finland’s unique conscription model makes it possible to put more than 1 million soldiers under arms 🇫🇮

@itsolelehmann I remember when seeing seriously intoxicated people around was a very rare sight in Europe. Miss those days. I seriously cannot comprehend how someone can enjoy looking like a fool unable to think or move properly in public. I hardly understand it in private, but in public?

cocaine is such an epidemic in Europe it’s crazy how normal it is to automatically message a Coke taxi on telegram after people had 3-4 drinks in Berlin it’s cheap now, very strong + available 24/7 via telegram

@itsolelehmann @Porkchop_EXP @peteralexbizjak When I visited Frankfurt, I found it hard to believe that was the EU, and a high-tax country too. The city centre of that city is absolutely disgusting. No other way to describe it.

thank you for the intervention Go into any bar in Berlin and you see it happening Same is true for lots of places in Frankfurt Just because you don’t see it happening doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen Look at all the data in Europe it’s all supporting it So why don’t you chill out before judging someone you don’t know because of your anecdotal data of the 7 people around Btw I don’t take any cocaine kinda weird how hard this miau trigger you to tell me about my social circles in 3 different comments Weird behavior

@m9tdev @levelsio @TimurNegru @saxobank Yeah maybe it's a dutch thing lol usually that's considered a taxable event.

@Automagify @levelsio @TimurNegru @saxobank Not in the EU or at least not in the Netherlands

So my personal broker @saxobank has now frozen my brokerage accounts for months now They keep asking me ridiculous questions like "Explain why you logged in from the US? Why are you spending so much time in the US?" I was literally in the US for 2 weeks to travel "Why are you Dutch but living in Portugal? Explain why you're doing this?" LMFAO what?!!!! But okay fine, I'm happy to produce documentation, it sometimes happens with Revolut too, or Wise, but then they unfreeze it quickly Saxo doesn't believe me though, so now they've asked me for (and I've sent) my: - home electricity bill - company ownership statements - company bank statement - company tax statement - personal bank statement - personal tax statement - all my flight tickets - calendar of every single day where I was in the last 365 days (from Nomad List) And they keep asking more So I guess hereby I do not recommend Saxo anymore as a personal broker because they're certified GOONs I had Saxo because I thought it'd be a good hedge because my company already has IBKR, so if I'd put all in one broker company it'd be risky Anyway FYI go with IBKR

@m9tdev @levelsio @TimurNegru @saxobank If you sell, you need to pay CGT on all the profits. It can be way more expensive than the transfer for him, assuming he has a lot invested.

@levelsio @TimurNegru @saxobank They will make you pay a lot for that tho. I was their customer first as well. Asked them to transfer my positions, but that costed sooo much I've just sold everything and bought it again on IBRK. It was way cheaper that way.

@levelsio @TimurNegru @saxobank Yeah but it takes forever. DEGIRO and Revolut are good enough for me. I might transfer to IBKR in the future but it takes months to do the entire process.
