Time to learn a new language, unless you're moving to Ireland or Malta I guess. Tons of people come to Germany and are shocked when not everyone speaks English.

Anyway, I think you'll get better answers if you specify a country. The EU is quite diverse, so I don't think there's a ton of advice that'll be true everywhere in the EU.

If you have a short-ish email address, someone might have just set it as their recovery address by mistake. I also have a pretty old, short gmail address and people have registered it as their recovery address before, so I would get mails whenever they logged in on a new device etc. Don't think those were phishing attempts, just people being technologically inept.

Selenskyj hat sich schon während des Wahlkampfs für den Eintritt der Ukraine in die NATO und die EU eingesetzt, das Ziel der EU beizutreten wurde schon unter der Vorgängerregierung in die Verfassung aufgenommen. Ja, er wollte dabei eine friedliche Beziehung zu Russland wahren. Diese Option hat Russland ihm offensichtlich nicht gegeben. "Kursänderung" ist ein witziger Name dafür, dass die Ukraine von Russland überfallen wurde.

Scooter riders definitely seem to be often less safety conscious than cyclists in my experience. Probably 70% of cyclists in my area wear a helmet and 10% at most of scooter riders. I've also seen stuff like people riding on sidewalks and up to 3 people on a single scooter.

Boring answer, but probably Middle-earth/Arda. Just such a well-crafted world with deep and interesting lore.

Runner up would be Bas-Lag from China Miéville's books. Very unique, somewhat Lovecraftian steampunk world with many weird inhabitants.

I can see what you mean for phones, but are analogue clocks supposed to be a thing of the past now? I have like 3 in my home and know many other people, including young people, who still have them.

The problem with Tankies is their authoritarianism and their "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" mentality. I could never support a movement that supports horrid dictatorships of any kind. Even as a socialist, I'd always defend a capitalist democracy against a communist dictatorship. If NATO defends a small democratic country against an invasion from its large and powerful neighbor, I'm all for it, even if I'd rather have a European military alliance instead of NATO.

It's also absurd how they defend countries like China, which has perhaps one of the worst forms of capitalism, because they're nominally communist.

I don't know why so many places report on this like it's noteworthy that a (mostly) 2d Switch game can be emulated well.

What punishment apart from death penalty would you prescribe to these distinguished gentlemen who kill, rape & kill, torture innocent people in the name of God?

Ideally, give them a fair trial at either a regular court or as war criminals in The Hague. In most cases, this should result in life imprisonment.

Most of the Western internet is blocked in China. It's almost more surprising it hasn't been so far.

I imagine they care about the players who didn't, who, let's be real here, make up the majority of players on emulators.

I guess this means that all the speculations about Mario's voice in Wonder not being Martinet were probably true.
