they’re making NEW MILLENNIALS

Resist the politics of privatization and decay.

Too late. Railways have been converted to a public-private partnership in the 90s, and are trying to get broken up into a competitive market these days anyway, and local public transportation is also run by public-private companies. In the countryside, it’s usually managed by a private company in the first place, often organized in local organizations of several firms that offer the same fares - which usually has hard borders and can for example lead to villages next to each other having a 5 h connection time through railways, which don’t follow these area bounds.

The Nürnberg zones

The VGN has the benefit of being yuge at least.

I think Brandenburg’s is the whole state + Berlin. So that’s even better.

Not like the Deutschlandticket has any real future unfortunately. Gotta see if it at least survives the Merz government.

As for DB - the ICE are horrible when it comes to reliability, but I found the regional trains actually mostly pretty good. Even if they have the tendency to be kinda dirty and always have broken toilets.

On the floor of a Turkish community center. Alternatively, over the North Pole.

Without the Republican New York, it looks like a late 80s map with stronger democrats.

New Windows feature… same as a virus?

Menthol, Pork and Pepper sausage, anyone?

They will probably lose territory to Poland as well if this keeps up

Sigh

No they won’t. It was a fringe position in the Polish far-right before the election and now that the libs have won it’s even less likely to happen.

Or, the fighting will eventually stop and the current status quo will remain permanent. It’s hard to tell.

Well, there’s a bit of context behind it:

The name is a meme in Poland and comes from the 1969 adventure-comedy mini-series Jak rozpętałem drugą wojnę światową (How I unleashed World War 2).

In the second episode, the main character is in hiding insideof Nazi Germany after escaping from a Prisoner of War camp. He is eventually arrested for an unrelated reason and this is the fake name he gives to the German bureaucrat using the typewriter. Unsurprisingly, he is baffled by the spelling, especially once he gets it right… since he gets an even more difficult fake birthplace to spell by the MC.

Edit: If you mean Grzegorz, it means George and isn’t too difficult, I suppose.

Grzegorz is a perfectly normal name, and it’s not their fault if they have a difficult surname 😔
