I actually discovered SCP because of this game.

Melania is just 3 children in a thrift store dress.

I have been in Opusztaszer. That place is hell to me.

Genuine question: do you think eliminating Orban from the political scene will seriously change things?

I lived in Hungary and interact often with Hungarian expats and I have a very negative outlook if no real cultural change is enacted.

As you say, the countryside people are just like Italian and even Danish ones, and served propaganda daily, but the level of nationalism I experienced in Hungary from almost all sides of the political spectrum tells me there is something deeper at play.

It’s just George Soros, all the way. Different genders, clothing, but still just Soros

And this administration has shown what signals of concern about that, again?

Stay at a hotel in Mestre, make a plan to visit lesser-known local businesses and attractions (Atlas Obscura is a good start), if possible, join a tour given by an authorized guide.

Apart from every other answer already given, Venice is existentially threatened by the continuous influx of people causing huge costs to the city while contributing absolutely nothing to the local economy.

I am Italian, I have stayed in my uncle’s house in Rialto and loved to experience the little local life that was left at that time (20 years ago, more or less). Nonetheless, I have made the conscious choice not to visit the city ever again until it gets its shit together.

It is in fact cursed to disappear, but to deny young people to experience it because it is turning into a Disneyland for old people is just cruel.

Moeche can feed on billionaires. Just sayin’.

Them protesting peacefully is exactly why Bezos will eventually get things his way.

Please notice that Brugnaro, mayor of Venice, is politically spawned out of Berlusconi’s party, Forza Italia.

Italian lesson: “Dio li fa, e poi li accoppia”: “God makes them, and then pairs them”

Khamenei is a priest. 'Nuff said. Israel is a theocratic state. Religious people attacking each other, with normal people in the middle. Once more, Rome did it first, 900 something years ago.

Well, at least she made it to Palestine.

I am personally supporting Ukrainians every week. I am also pro-rearmament in the EU.

That said, said by Germany, this should be read as “we are strongly reliant on heavy industries, but our cars in record low demand, so we really, really, really want to build a lot of weapons for Ukraine (and we will keep some for us, while we decide whether to agree or not on standards and common resource pooling with the rest of the EU)”

EU needs to take several other steps before going head-first into (over-)production of weapons at the levels being discussed here.

Germany sounds every other day like they forget there other 26 countries with them in the Union. And I could say the same about France, but under the military POV France is much more defendable.

You forgot immigration.

Beautifully said. Saving the comment.

It got worse, if possible.

At some point I got in an elevator with them and one of them was judging me for getting in the elevator skipping one person in the queue (to my defense Romero’s zombies move faster) and even the position I took in the elevator which was “not efficient”.

Jokingly, I commented of all that sounding “so German” and immediately him and his colleague started saying “oh the Italian now will start saying…” and then bursted in the most chilling collection of German=Nazi stereotypes I ever heard.

I could only stare at them and wait for the elevator to end its run.

“No longer justified”, “don’t overdo it”, “IF lines are crossed”!

Please tell me it’s not only the pro-Palestine protesters in Germany who find this language absurd.

I spent a weekend dealing with a couple of Germans and I must say that in some things there is some kind of mental barrier and some kind of guilt pride that got smeared in my face more than once in 2 days, but we really need you to be better than this and I want to have faith you can be.

(There were also Israelis, but I stopped talking to them the second they introduced themselves as such.)

That’s a word I would like to mute in all my feeds “threaten”.

Do, or not do, there is no threaten.

Actually, that does. It’s what has been happening since 3 years in Ukraine.

It is a nation including some regions given autonomy. I believe a federation by definition is comprised of exclusively equal member states forming common governmental organs.
