Then let me be the first. The nice weather and cool history isn't worth living with uppity pricks, spending more and getting less, having public transport determine when I can go places, risking a run-in with police because I was 'mean' to the wrong kind of person, and being trapped in a never ending human development missing out on experiencing real nature.
none of that is true and I don't know why you think it is
you've never been here clearly.
uppity pricks? outside of france we don't have more of those than any other country. spending more and getting less? wages are higher so it doesn't feel like you're spending more. and what you're getting is higher quality less unhealthy. public transport determines when I can go places or you could just drive a car, you think we don't have cars? also crying that you'll have to wait 15 minutes if miss your train or 5-10 minutes if you miss your buss is pretty laughable. risking a run-in with police less deadly than in other countries. because I was 'mean' to the wrong kind of person what kind of person is that? and what do you mean by "mean" because this sounds made up to me. trapped in a never ending human development missing out on experiencing real nature you know you can just choose to live outside of a major metropolitan area right? no I'm sorry you're so right, scotland was never known for its beautiful nature, every square inch of europe is covered in concrete or asphalt, no trees anywhere, even the mountains are covered in human development, there is no space left. not a single free flowing river.
Continental Europeans are known even by Brits to be uppity. In my experience too Europeans tend to have a superiority complex. Almost every single one I've dealt with (in the US, in Europe, and online) has had a creeping superiority complex. You only see it if you're not in their in-group, which is why the Brits see it of continentals.
Y'all have smaller more expensive houses and less luxuries than Americans. It's a fact that Americans enjoy a higher material living standard than Europeans.
I've been to Europe, and driving is more of an inconvenience than public transport. Also I nearly missed a train between two major cities in the same country and would've had to wait hours for the next one. I prefer getting around easily on my own schedule, going near or far, and having to pay less for the privilege.
Getting arrested or getting fines aren't a nice thing wherever you go.
Many places in Europe struggle with free speech by American standards, with the police even harassing people for online comments with unpopular opinions in some countries.
I live in the Western US. When I lived on the East Coast for a couple years I hated how you could never get away from civilization. Every couple miles was another town. Europe is the same way. Just look at a population density map of the western US versus Europe. Europe is worse than the eastern US, and the eastern US is too much for my liking.
sure but it does mean they believe life here is better than where ever they are.
so maybe that hate is born from envy.
anyone could have it as good as we do if their people rise up and depose their shitty governments and implement usefull policy that benefits all the people of their nation.
hell they could have it better than we do. if you ask me its about time we depose these corrupt fucks so we can have another 100 years of good times before that becomes corrupt too.
Everyone could have it as good as you do......and yet your government controls everything down to how open your windows can be. And you can't say bad things about criminals online without an officer showing up to your door
because no officer has visited me yet and I say bad things about criminals all the time
I also say bad things about the government and politicians.
so I don't know where you heard that shit.
I do know however that you seemed to miss the part where I said things could be much better. europe government is not awesome, just slightly better than other places.
could easily be better.
I also think you missed the part where I implied we should depose the governments of europe as a path to improve life as it is currently in europe.
so with all of that in consideration. are you sure you're talking to the right person about fucking window regulations?
Just because of this part he probably has and got rage baited whilst filling-in the most standard document ever and went on a tirade.
āNo ACā
He went either to the UK or Scandinavia and couldnāt wrap his head around why they would only need heating because the word āclimateā is a Chinese PsyOp.
Because houses are well insulated (for winter, obviously) and the 1-2 weeks or sometimes none it gets hot, most people just donāt want to have an A/C sitting around for the remaining time.
This was a solid strategy until climate change fucked the EU over and now we need ACs en masse. It's somewhat doable in the countryside where the greenery can absorb the heat but cities in central Europe like Vienna have become unbearable for weeks on end. It's only July and we've already had like 3 weeks of consistent 30°C weather. The hottest months of the year have yet to happen.
It's only gonna get worse and the line on the map south of which you need an AC to exist is gonna creep north with every year.
Insulation only helps if the hot days are limited to just a few a year. The moment the house heats up on the inside insulation works against you because it turns the house into an oven.
That being said, overall the EU fucking rocks and OP is a dumb American shilling as a German. No A/Cs is not an EU problem, it's a country problem.
This is BS it gets pretty hot in Germany in the summer and public places like airports even donāt have AC. People just sitting there roasting. Itās crazy
The 1 or 2 weeks it gets hot??? Temperatures reached 38C+ for almost two weeks in a row where I live in France, and it's supposed to happen again in a week or two. And we're barely in July. I get what you mean by that, we don't need A/C as much as the scorching heat in Cali or Texas, also thanks to indeed good insolation, but "1-2 weeks or sometimes none it gets hot" is a crazy sentence to hear in the big 2025.
German here! I just got a standing AC for ca. 150ā¬. Best decision I ever made, it keeps my room as cool as I want it to be during those days; normal fans are nothing against this thing, especially since they actively heat up rooms instead of cooling you down. Look into getting one yourself (and do it relatively soonish, mine took a bit to be delivered because of higher demand).
Also the no ac thing is kind of a myth, even in Scandinavia we have heat pumps. Which is just AC, but more complex. We don't have central air though, that's just weird to have in a residential building.
Combined with solar, It's common in new-building now too, most older houses obviously don't have heat-pumps (yet). But it's a matter of time I guess, give it another 10 years maybe.
Most of europe is far more north than people realize.
The whole 'few days of super tropical temperatures' thing is new to us. It's just that the climate is changing and nobody understood that yet.
I mean for fucks sake my home country had It's first tornado few years back. We had a record of that happening like 3 centuries ago! And now people need to learn what the fuck do we do in a tornado?!
This shit's new to us man, europe was a ridiculously safe continent climate-wise. We're not used to weather killing people.
Where about is your country? There has been quite a few tornados in EU in 21st century, but based on your comment I'd guess Czech Republic with the 2021 nado, in which case there has been 2 noteworthy tornados on June 9th 2004, which is not 3 centuries
I too am European, so yeah, absolutely agree, just saying that we can explain why we are behind on this stuff, but that doesn't change the fact that we're behind on this stuff
Sure but thatās most likely due to people being out in hot weather thatās not typical for their region rather than people dying in their houses/apartments due to a lack of AC.
Also in the EU 1/5 of the population is aged 60 and over whilst in the US that number is lower and that certainly has a contribution to these heat death statistics since older people are more vulnerable and in some cases less likely to be informed about a heat wave, especially if itās not typical for where they live. A pensioner living in Nevada is more likely to avoid going outside during hot days because itās always been hot in Nevada compared to a pensioner that lives in Northern Germany for example.
I dont think that really makes it better, its still awful. You have a higher chance of dying from heat than you do by both heat and guns combined in america
Bro even in my bumfuck remote island at the western coasts of Norway with houses spanning back to the 1900, we still have ac and newer houses (1970+) has them
that means he is an AFD voter who drank too much of their koolaid. Yes, some regulations seem weird, but then they ignore the fact that those regulations keep a lot of actual poison out of our food like they use in the US.
Apparently there are "food" items the US cannot export into the EU because they cannot legally be classified as food and are not safe for human consumption based on EU regulations.
lmao, well yeah of course this is the kind of opinion you find in politically Incorrect cause boy is it wrong, and I can smell the vpn from three miles away
Considering the number of deaths you guys have had from guns this year you lot should be wrapping your heads around actually doing something about that for the first time
WHO and the UN say 175,000 Europeans died due to heat in 2024, of population 744,000,000. This accounts for 0.0235% of the population. Or 2.35 out of 10,000 people.
US gun violence accounted for ~47,000 deaths in 2023 source, out of a population of 335,000,000. This accounts for 0.014% of the population, or about 1.4 out of 10,000 people.
So you are almost twice as likely to be killed by the sun in Europe than by gun violence in America.
Gee i wonder could it possibly have to do with every summer having record temperatures? But yeah youāre right fuck the eu and their silly car and meat regulations. Letās ignore the incoming climate catastrophe.
The cold is still the major killer. And apparently it's mostly old people refusing to install AC or heat pumps that end up dead. Go figure. But yes, climate change is forcing more and more people to get temperature regulating devices.
I would almost argue a majority of heat related deaths occur outdoors, when you're in direct sunlight and you're not drinking enough water, where ac will do nothing for you.
Sira Rego, the current minister of youth, is a member of the spanish communist party and she proudly says that she was one of the hardcore members. So critizazing Lenin makes you far right to her. Obviously she also congratulated Maduro when he fixed the venezuelan elections.

Now I have to defend Ursula Von Der Leyen for corruption or the far right will stop my lucrative human traffiking business⦠I mean non profit humanitarian organization.
The prices could be lower too, but Germany is shutting down their nuclear power and buying from Norway of all countries, raising prices for both of them.
This is broadly true. The prices could also be lower if we built more cheap energy production rather than relying on cheap imports of fossil fuels - which Europe did for decades - but building that stuff has up front costs, so the long terms savings don't reward today's political parties.
Nothing should reward todays political parties. Here in Norway the shitters just Increased their own salaries again to 1.2 million NOK (101K EUR) with only two smaller parties in opposition.
Meanwhile our rightwing is planning tax cuts for their buddies and saying it's the "people's turn". You'd think they'd learn from across the pond, but it seems they're learning the wrong lesson.
Yeah, I miss the mindset Norway had in the 70s. We find oil and immediately create a national pension fund. If we had found oil today I'm almost sure they would've jist sold it off for short term gain
Prices have been gone up long before invade. How can you not see this. More than 60% of my energy bill is taxes, a small 30 ish percent is my actual energy consumption.
He is 100% correct in this one.
They promised us cheaper energy for 30 years now, that's what all the new green alternatives should have done. More wind, more solar and somehow each year my bill has been increased in price for the last 30 years.
because they havenāt been and renewable sources supplying 100% of the grid is a hard transition to aim at. Germany shut down their nuclear. In france they have 30% nuclear and theyāre doing just fine
I mean they do a lot of things wrong, but they also do a lot of things right. Every single time the topic of āwhy is this shitty thing allowed in the US but not in Europe?ā comes up, itās almost always thanks to EU regulations, so Iām kind of glad itās a lot harder to be obese in Europe than in the US.
Generations of stuffing everything with as much salt, butter, and sugar as possible has culminated in a country of people who think that anything which isnāt a deep fried salted caramel cake stick is too bland.
I do feel like most of the good regulations got passed in the first 10 years of the EU. The past decade it's been mandated attached bottle caps (not a big deal, but still annoying) and a lot of attempts at regulating the internet and digital payments.
The Digital Markets Act
Proposed bans on encryption
Mandated data harvesting just in case the authorities might need them
Beginnings of a mandated digital identity system for various websites
Mandated automated checking of all digital payments in the name of "anti-terrorism/money-laundering"
Don't get me wrong, out of the four major superpowers (US, EU, Russia and China), we're still by far the best.
But I no longer believe it's because we're fundamentally a more democratic and free government; we're simply behind and working to catch up.
Which has nothing to do with EU. I don't even understand why you would get mad at romania actually fighting against election manipulations where one side suddenly do 500% better in some areas.
The candidate (an asshole who obviously cheated and spun pro genocide rethoric) then tried to get replaced by a moronic hooligan gypsie affiliated to MAGA who ran away from every debate and spent more time crying about France in english than talk about romanian problems in romanian.
Romania canceled the election because an independent candidate with no political party affiliation was winning, and the regime in power got scared, so they made up an excuse to cancel the election and install their own ''independent'' puppet Nicusor dan, the mayor of Bucharest who is now President
It's the biggest telltale he's an American with a VPN. ESL are way, way less likely to use safe curse words like "flipping". Like, why would they? Particularly because in europe there isn't the kind of inane censoring of swear words like in the US.
Remember how Europe fought two massive wars in the span of 30 years? And then we decided that it makes more sense to integrate our economies more closely. Without EU all the European countries (including the big economies) can't compete with the likes of USA and China, while as a bloc we have tremendous economic power.
Yeah. Dunno why you get down voted. Well I do, it's reddit, but I agree with you. Most of this stuff is true. Go to Every great city, even the smaller one and you see a steady decline of everything compared to 40 years ago.
steady decline in every major city in all of Europe? Besides the insane statement, countries have way more autonomy than this post leads you to believe so maybe the problem isnāt the european union?
What is this no AC BS? Yes you can absolutely have an AC - where did this even come from? Most houses arenāt built with them but thatās not a legal thing.

Those lids suck. I hate them so much. I genuinely despise those stupid things.
Nobody was throwing the lids in one bin and the bottles in the other. This is solving a problem that doesn't exist.
The only lids that should flip up like that are for squeezy bottles with like a little nozzle at the top.
Mr-DragonSlayer@reddit
Be fr man and just say you're too stupid to use them properly
mobas07@reddit
Just because you can use something doesn't mean you have to like it. I DO use them. I just hate doing so.
Weewoes@reddit
Autistic kids hate the fuck out of them too. My kid just yanks them off. The we have sharp shabby bits, this attaching them shit doesn't stop people ripping them off if they want to lol. I dont know what they think theyve achieved.
IKetoth@reddit
yeah but now you have to actively chose to be a prick
Weewoes@reddit
Being a prick by taking it off? I didnt say throw it on the ground or anything.
IKetoth@reddit
ah, we're back to being too stupid to use them then.
Weewoes@reddit
I dont think its being stupid though, some are attached so badly they swing round some are okay and can be bent back enough to stay in place. It doesn't make you dumb to not like something.

Everyone is saying this person has to be American be cause theyāre being critical of the UE?
AlphaMassDeBeta@reddit (OP)
They think everyone in europe has one opinion.
myothercarisayoshi@reddit
Ah yes, it was the EU that raised energy prices, not the consequence of Russia invading Ukraine and thereby turning off all the cheap gas.
The irony of course is that the EU has sent shit tons of money to member states to alleviate the cost spike but got off kind.
Kiwi_Doodle@reddit
The prices could be lower too, but Germany is shutting down their nuclear power and buying from Norway of all countries, raising prices for both of them.
F-Lambda@reddit
wait what? why in the world would they do that?
nuclear is literally one of the best power sources...
myothercarisayoshi@reddit
This is broadly true. The prices could also be lower if we built more cheap energy production rather than relying on cheap imports of fossil fuels - which Europe did for decades - but building that stuff has up front costs, so the long terms savings don't reward today's political parties.
Kiwi_Doodle@reddit
Nothing should reward todays political parties. Here in Norway the shitters just Increased their own salaries again to 1.2 million NOK (101K EUR) with only two smaller parties in opposition.
Meanwhile our rightwing is planning tax cuts for their buddies and saying it's the "people's turn". You'd think they'd learn from across the pond, but it seems they're learning the wrong lesson.
myothercarisayoshi@reddit
Not a value judgement, it just explains why political parties don't push for the obviously right solution - they have nothing to gain.
Kiwi_Doodle@reddit
Yeah, I miss the mindset Norway had in the 70s. We find oil and immediately create a national pension fund. If we had found oil today I'm almost sure they would've jist sold it off for short term gain
Tequila_Sunset_Disco@reddit
Regarded move, Germany has the stupidest energy policies, nuclear is best
paco-ramon@reddit
The current vice president of the EU comission is anti nuclear. Wouldnāt be important if she wasnāt in charge of the āclean transitionā
l3viz@reddit
Prices have been gone up long before invade. How can you not see this. More than 60% of my energy bill is taxes, a small 30 ish percent is my actual energy consumption.
He is 100% correct in this one.
They promised us cheaper energy for 30 years now, that's what all the new green alternatives should have done. More wind, more solar and somehow each year my bill has been increased in price for the last 30 years.
boobfan47@reddit
because they havenāt been and renewable sources supplying 100% of the grid is a hard transition to aim at. Germany shut down their nuclear. In france they have 30% nuclear and theyāre doing just fine
FunnyP-aradox@reddit
We have 80~75% nuclear energy, 30% is if you count oil (for cars) but we're talking about appliences
myothercarisayoshi@reddit
No country has 80% nuclear energy.
I believe France is the highest with 40% of total energy supply based on IEA date. That's 64% of electricity generation, which is great.
Europe as a whole has just 19% of electricity generated by nuclear.
myothercarisayoshi@reddit
Your taxes are set by your national government so it caries widely where you are. But energy prices are directly tied to fossil fuels for complicated and very annoying reasons.
Alaykitty@reddit
Germany is shutting down all the nuclear plants.
Here on the Iberian peninsula it's not too bad and everything is green energy basically.

I mean they do a lot of things wrong, but they also do a lot of things right.

An_Draoidh_Uaine@reddit

because sugar is food for yeast. happy yeast -> fluffier bread
EddieFrits@reddit
Sugar is addicting so manufacturers keep putting it in.

Generations of stuffing everything with as much salt, butter, and sugar as possible has culminated in a country of people who think that anything which isnāt a deep fried salted caramel cake stick is too bland.

Deadonstick@reddit
I do feel like most of the good regulations got passed in the first 10 years of the EU. The past decade it's been mandated attached bottle caps (not a big deal, but still annoying) and a lot of attempts at regulating the internet and digital payments.
Don't get me wrong, out of the four major superpowers (US, EU, Russia and China), we're still by far the best.
But I no longer believe it's because we're fundamentally a more democratic and free government; we're simply behind and working to catch up.
BaconDragon69@reddit
Ah yes I hate regulations, I wish we lived in glorious america where they can put grasshoppers in the ice cream!

Did they actually cancel an election?
DinoMastah@reddit
Romanian elections were canceled because the winner was a "fascist with ties to russia". The romanians demonstrated for weeks.
Fyrefanboy@reddit
Which has nothing to do with EU. I don't even understand why you would get mad at romania actually fighting against election manipulations where one side suddenly do 500% better in some areas.
The candidate (an asshole who obviously cheated and spun pro genocide rethoric) then tried to get replaced by a moronic hooligan gypsie affiliated to MAGA who ran away from every debate and spent more time crying about France in english than talk about romanian problems in romanian.
Painfull_Diarrhea@reddit

AHadrianus@reddit

1116574@reddit
Worth noting it was Romanian Court that did that, not EU court.
amazegamer64@reddit
I canāt believe they would do something so undemocratic. They should only cancel elections if a filthy commie wins, like we do.
BasedBalkaner@reddit
Romania canceled the election because an independent candidate with no political party affiliation was winning, and the regime in power got scared, so they made up an excuse to cancel the election and install their own ''independent'' puppet Nicusor dan, the mayor of Bucharest who is now President

It's the biggest telltale he's an American with a VPN. ESL are way, way less likely to use safe curse words like "flipping". Like, why would they? Particularly because in europe there isn't the kind of inane censoring of swear words like in the US.

Remember how Europe fought two massive wars in the span of 30 years? And then we decided that it makes more sense to integrate our economies more closely. Without EU all the European countries (including the big economies) can't compete with the likes of USA and China, while as a bloc we have tremendous economic power.

steady decline in every major city in all of Europe? Besides the insane statement, countries have way more autonomy than this post leads you to believe so maybe the problem isnāt the european union?
