Where does an EU Citizens’ Initiative progresses to after reaching the threshold?

footoro , in Do you guys like memes more?

I think memes are cool and this one is accurate lol. I’m just hoping this won’t become some right wing community like 2westerneurope4u. Some memes were funny but all the racism and other right wing bullshit made it pretty much unbearable.

pumpkinseedoil ,

Isn't the "racism" (pretty much only between different European countries where you can't really speak about different "races") there ironical?

footoro ,

Nah it wasn’t really the funny kind of stuff, like making fun of your neighbors, more like typical 4chan incel kind of racism

Salaries in countries like Poland are increasing, especially in IT.

Good to see Polish people improving their quality of life!

Maalus ,

Increasing doesn't mean affordable yet. It sucks over here, even in IT. Poles are still the cheap workforce in IT for other countries.

riodoro1 ,

Fuck yes for IT but people working their asses of at lidl deserve a home too. The housing market is out of control here, and a take away pizza is now a luxury.

I would say with confidence that while QOL was increasing rapidly in Poland in the last two decades this one is sadly different. Late stage capitalism sucks.

Very nice. If I ever decide to visit will locals hate me for disliking wine?

AchtungDrempels OP ,

I mean, you don't need to tell them. Just order something else :)

Edit: actually i think you should give an ice cold glass of rosé a try though. If it really isn't for you pour it secretly into the lavender pot.

Nah, I've tried many different kinds of wine on plenty of occasions and never liked one. Except for Porters, which are technically wines too, but... I'd rather have glass of water than wine.

You can almost smell this picture. Pine, lavender, dust, garlic, rosé wine and pétanque

AchtungDrempels OP ,

Don't forget the pastis ;)

I was on my way with the plan to recreate this photo i took in septmeber some years ago, just with flowering lavender this time:

When i got there, turns out at this spot the lavender field is no more, haha. Photos taken at Col de Soubeyrand.

There was a lavender field a bit higher up, but it was not flowering much yet, i guess too high up.

I am in La Motte Chalancon now, heading north, barkeeper tells me if i cycle past the next mountain, i will have left the Provence.

Someone of culture

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Lovely pics! Did you do the Ventoux on your bike? I hear it's a legend amongst cyclists

AchtungDrempels OP ,

Yes, i actually rode it yesterday.

And hundreds of road cyclists too, busiest mountain i have ridden.

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Bravo ! The reviews on Google maps are a hilarious read. As many angry angry cyclists as there are angry angry drivers 😂

Bon voyage !

AchtungDrempels OP ,

Oh that sounds funny, gonna read those now with my breakfast :)

There's a cool video from this train in 1902:

MelastSB ,

Thank you!

JubilantJaguar , in Germany’s unique suspension monorail is a must-visit for train lovers

I once spent a night in Wuppertal just to ride this thing. Rode it from end to end, and then again the next morning. What was unexpected was how modern it is. You might expect a rickety historic tourist contraption, but in fact it's a modern metro with great views and an unusual ride.

As I understand it, in most countries the railway would be completely uneconomical since it has no off-the-shelf parts and there are no tourists in Wuppertal, but in Germany it makes some sense since it can be used as a sort of training bed for local engineering students and industry.

It probably isn't the best use of the city's funds, but given the specific geography of the city, using the space above the river that runs along the entire narrow valley that makes up most of Wuppertal, it does make some sense.

For anyone that is intrigued here is a 10 hour loop of the train.

Seattle has a weird suspension monorail but it literally only goes a few blocks. I lived there for years and never knew anyone who ever took it it was so useless!

Thank you for posting here! Have you ever taken it?

lettruthout ,

I have and it's awesome. The best place to ride is at the very back of the cars - there's a huge window back there.

Yeah, it's fun and quite convenient.
