Fantastisch, danke. Frank kannte ich bisher nicht.

So lange das Format stimmt kann man i.d.R. falsche Informationen angeben. Email alias, falsche Nummer, nur Initalen beim Vornamen sind bei mir Standard. Wenn der Name nicht relevant für eine Zustellung ist, dann erfinde ich auch da gerne einen.

Release the hounds!

I agree 100%. Not sure about its environmental impact, but due to it's privacy focus I've used Monero before. Cash is ling either way.

In Europe we have some local payment alternatives like Twint or soon Wero. The US also has Venmo and CashApp, not sure if they are suitable alternatives. At least CashApp has sponsored Drag Race in the past, so I would hope they don't donate to the maga pedo clan.

Careful not to pay import tariffs on imported goods. Also check what mayo or cola you're buying, in Europe (Aldi, Lidl especially) the off-brand products are often still made by the big brand owners. It's going to require reading labels carefully and possibly some searching online to really avoid the big names.

Very possible for tech or digital services. As long as you're not paying import tarifs to the government.

Visa, Mastercard, Amex and PayPal should all be avoided as well. Pay cash where you can, crypto can be a workaround online.

Die Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt haben dich anscheinend bisher nicht abgehalten 50ct Pakete mit Plastikmüll bei Temu zu bestellen. Schön, dass dich die 12€ jetzt direkt betreffen.

Google and their big tech buddies made their choice by supporting Trump's regime. I know actions have consequences is a concept that doesn't apply in the US, but elsewhere it does. Deal with it.

German citizen, I was always able to vote in local and EU elections in Ireland. Fair, it did annoy me not to be able to vote in the general elections there, but I was able to request mail-in ballots for general elections in Germany online and got them in time.

I agree with the author that we should not have different rules and requirements across the EU. Voting requirements should be aligned across all member states. At the same time, we should not use bureaucratic hurdles as an excuse to not vote. If you move somehwere new, inform yourself and plan accordingly. This is important stuff.

The world has enough people selling garbage, shipped across the world to end up in a landfill or the ocean. No thanks
