Democracy is not inevitable, it is fought for and defended. There are no stable countries, only times of stability.

What’s wrong with snapbacks?

Ah ok! Thanks for your insight!

Ah ok, interesting. Then you know better than me, I live in Sweden and I’m just looking at Google Maps.

There of course will always be neighbors who put more effort into their property and neighbors who don’t, and Swedish villages are arguably just as sprawly. But yeah, mandating the kinds of plants you can grow seems like it kind of becomes a monoculture and a chore.

Do you get the feeling that the neighborhood is a bit weird/car-dependent compared to most dutch neighborhoods? There definitely seems to be a lot of alternative living stuff that the uniqueness attracts, but the fact that there is no public transportation and the strange road structure makes it seem like it would be very different from a normal neighborhood. I even see a concrete walking path to the south of the village with a dedicated parking lot for some strange reason.

I mean, it’s a suburb of Amsterdam. 25 minute drive to the A10 inner ringroad. Seems a bit wasteful to use land like this.

Ignoring that, and sorry to be a conservative, but what does sprawly mixed residential/agricultural planning offer over traditional rural village planning? If you look at google maps and you go a bit further east to a real rural village like Okkenbroek, you can find houses with much nicer yards, more access to nature, and less oppressive roads. A mix of detached homes and rowhouses, and beautiful public places like the church on the north side, a centrum and school on the west edge, and various benches and walking paths. There are even 3 bus stops with hourly departures in each direction, 25 minutes to a dense city with 100k people.

Compare these two supermarkets from Almere Ooosterwold and Okkenbroek.

Both are about 4km away from their respective villages, but one is surrounded by giant parking lots next to a highway, and the other is a converted house across from a school playground nestled in the neighboring village. Almere Oosterwold seems incredibly car focused. There are more cars than bicycles and no bicycle roads separated from cars. There are no busses. If you are too young/old to drive and don’t want to/can’t bike in the middle of the street, then you’re screwed. You need to take a taxi just to go to the store.

I just get the feeling that the neighborhood in the article is just an American culdesac polluted by amateur farming. But hey, it’s just one neighborhood, and I’m sure there’s plenty of people who enjoy it and call it home.

Seems like it would be very sprawly, since they’re requiring agriculture adjacent to every single house, instead if having it on the edge of the village, and there’s no collaboration for density hubs like rowhouses/apartments or a town square.

We created this money to give to you, and you have to pay it back plus a 5-20% fee.
We’re also betting on whether you will pay it back or not, and other people are betting on whether our bet will win.
If we lose too many bets, or too many people bet against our bets, then the money we just gave you disappears, the economy crashes, and you get kicked out of your house.

Fractional reserve banking and the modern securities market is a trip. Kafka was on to something.

So, features that Linux has had for years? eBPF, Rust in the kernel, and authentication when changing system settings.

blasphemy

the enemy of your enemy is not your friend. There are better partners to work with if the us abandons them, like EU/UK/AU/JP, etc

Russian support pulled out?

Turkey is also at war with Rojava

That rule is not an official rule and does not exist in NATO’s treaty. It is a guideline set by the Obama administration to appease Putin.

Those countries need to realize that they need to let Ukraine into NATO if they want the war to end, and for Ukraine to not consider building nuclear weapons for their defense.

1. The article says that membership would apply only after the war.

2. That rule is not an official rule and does not exist in NATO’s treaty. It is a guideline set by the Obama administration to appease Putin.

NATO membership is exactly the thing Ukraine needs right now, after Russia proved that military aid to Ukraine did not prevent them from invading.

Why not?
