Well yeah but most Dutch people are cheap as hell so paying for delivery is a bit much if you can drive there and have a huge amount of trouble fitting a couch in their 2001 Corsa.

Near as I can figure is that the post is meant to frame Democrats as people that only deport people ‘legally’ and that they don’t need to use force and still get a big chunk of the job done.

Not that I have a horse in this fight, but how many migrants don’t pass these border guards and live in houses completely undocumented and unbeknownst to the US government? It’s difficult to get stats on things you don’t know.

In any event, nobody is illegal and there is no world where any kind of violence or threatening of livelihood is warranted.

Because driving to Ikea means you can take stuff with you without paying for delivery. Plus sometimes we just wanna walk through the store and that means either going by car or taking two busses.

We have two at the two major ingresses of Groningen. The thing with P+R is that they really only take away the traffic from visitors. People who work in the city will still take their car, people who live there will never use it.

The municipality is working hard to get rid of cars in the city which I can only applaud. You’ll still need your car to go to Ikea and the like but the infrastructure for that is great. As long as you stay away from the center you can pretty much manage by car.

Now, Groningen is still pretty much a walkable city. I think Hamburg is something like ten times its size, yet last time I was there we still walked a huge chunk over there. If I compare it to, for instance, Amsterdam, which is still smaller but closer to the size of Hamburg, you just take a tram anywhere and you’ll get to wherever you need to be.

City centers in Europe have no need for cars.

Clerks. It should be some stoner Seinfeld flick but it actually lines up pretty well with La Divina Comedia and the dialogue, although sometimes a bit clunky, is very well written.

Really common in Dutch cities. Not all of them have zebra lanes but the rules are really quite simple.

This was Meppel but every municipality in the Netherlands has a free marriage half hour. It varies what day it is but it’ll usually be early morning.

I didn’t get married for the love or the religious reasons, it’s just way easier when you buy a house together. Now, if I die, all my stuff automatically belongs to my wife.

We got married on a Tuesday morning at the municipal building at 8:30 making it free. The only thing we spent money on was the rings.
