Worked with a guy from his hometown, they named a road after him:

“Dio Way”

Spain, because our families do not!

Thanks for all the info, I guess what I was after was the bloc allegiances explained a bit more clearly (someone linked a video with a good explanation for this election cycle).

In Spain.

Just trying to get a layout of the way EU parliament works, we should be getting our passports sooner than later, and will be able to dive into it more before the next cycle. Thanks!

I am embarrässed!

OK, but what is a brief platform?

Its all Ikea.

Deboard the plane on the Stårons, and go through Pæspørt Kontrøl, dont forget your allen wrenches (must have on your person at all times), and enjoy the pletiful free lingonberries & meatballs as you exit the airport.

So… Nestlé?

In Spain there is still a lively cash economy, the pandemic took a lot of that business away and I’m sure as the years march on it will become less so as governments squeeze anonymity out of transactions to collect more of that sweet, sweet tax money.

How do businesses handle cash in this situation?

KEXP goes way back, great formats and variety.

“Ohhhh we alll walk, the wiggle-y waggl-y walk!”

Oh shit man I still have this comic, 10 out of 10 never even looked at it, bought it on a whim with others and put it in a bag& board to keep it prestine

We are spending our vacations in our adopted country every year and Málaga is by far one of the most tourist-y places in spain, and not a great example of how amazing this country is unless you take the train to the local towns.

Every restaurant/bar etc. staff speak English, Dutch, German, French, there are cruise ships that dock there so its a huge influx of tourists for lunch/dinner times. It felt like a giant strip mall, with very little personality.

Gentrification (?) is happening quickly here in the tourist hot spots and we see a lot of locals being pushed out of town centers because of costs & availability.

Metaplanetary & Superluminal.

To me, the way the “virtual” people were treated, the way the world building & how the connectivity of everything comes together is absolutely amazing.

It has left me with literary blue balls since i found these books in a used bookshop, since he hasn’t completed the series.

Waiting for the pro Chinese/anti NATO narrative from our tankie friends on how this is absolutely super good for everyone!

I was being ficticios…silly…ironic…

Looks like the EU parliament needs to say “no fucking way”…so maybe in 5-10 years Hungary will get a sternly written letter.

But hey, I phones have to have USB-Cs so…

…yeah
