That’s because TV commercials were usually well made, or for stuff you might need. For the stuff you didnt need, it was entertaining. (You remember the IBM TV ads in the 90s?) YouTube ads are for overpriced junk and dropshipping (raycon earbuds) when it’s not get rich quick scams.

Unfortunately for the EU, Hungary is part of of block.

Regarding Serbia, if you’re applying, you should behave like a perfect member. Croatia and Estonia are notoriously known to have implemented EU directive as candidates, before the directive were even voted.

They then tried to use the identification of Thai prostitutes to create accounts on those exchanges in a bid to get those funds back.

Not what I had in mind…

The issue is that some communities are run by mods who think these are real news

The EU has uncultivated land subsidies. To avoid overproduction of food and overexploitation of the land, the EU pays farmers to keep their land uncultivated. Some countries, like mine, force farmers to uncultivate their land once every N years, and, of course, they get subsidies for this.

In my region, farmers will plant flowers and let weed grow, since they’re not putting any pesticide. They let the flowers and weeds die and rot at the end of the season. This way, they dont have to put as much fertilizer the next year. I’ve always seen these uncultivated fields full of bees and other pollinators in summer.

To be fair, Amsterdam red-light district is really safe, thanks to the windows and cops patrols. The plan to move them outside of the city in some shady areas is lowering the safety for all parties involved. And the reasons behind the move are basically Won’t Somebody Please Think of the Children?

SBS made a good documentary about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxn84mAduXo

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is much more nuanced. Both countries’ current heads of state are kinda like “all this land is my country’s, the other country should not exist.” It’s unclear who is right.

The Russo-Ukranian conflict is clear. One leader is claiming the land of the other, the other just want it back. Ukraine’s government is not claiming half of Russia.
