We call it a broodje knakworst but I don’t expect others to know my regional words for things

I have a question. Why is it called a glizzard?

They’re discouraged by Canada. Subreddits for European countries are filled with Americans inquiring about their chances though. I’ve heard of several wanting to know more about the Netherlands.

Captain, it’s Wednesday

I’m not saying ‘don’t be worried’, I’m saying ‘have a little bit of faith in the system and see how far he gets’. I take it some of the stuff he yells at easily influenced voters will be unconstitutional and I hope your checks abs balances will be strong enough to withstand the fall of your democracy.

If it’s not, well, I’ll also be fucked. So whichever way you slice it, the only thing to do is to wait and see.

I mean technically you could storm the Capitol but I think we know that doesn’t really do shit except make you a meme or a prisoner or both.

I’m not saying I understand the magnitude, but ICYMI: the populist right is also winning left and right in Europe. In my country, it’s mostly just kind of funny since these blowhards are only now realising governing a country is kind of difficult and lots of government employees are just fighting against everything that’s idiotic or destructive.

The downside of that is the filter bubble or echo chamber effect. Question is whether Lemmy should be a fun experience for you or something to broaden your horizons a little
