This is very helpful. I have two major common food allergies and we have such a law in the EU. Yes, some restaurants just write every allergene on every item and call it a day, but those are usually not the good ones. A lot of good restaurants just write tge actually allergenes and “may contain traces of” on the menu and usually the staff is also informed and trained to answer questions regarding allergies.
It is an EU regulation since 2014 though, so it should be required in Sweden.
Here in Europe there is a list of the 14 most common allergenes and they have to be listed on the menu. Yes, there are people with uncommon allergies, but the majority of people have one of the common ones and they can be on the menu.
Eriwan is the German name for Yerevan, or the old German spelling, I think nowadays it’s Jerewan.
I noticed that a lot of people who turn right-wing are extremely cynical. All politicians are the same, they are all lying which means that their favored right wing party is of course also lying about the horrible stuff, they just vote for them to shake thinga up a bit. Everything is fake, nothing is real: climate change isn’t real, housing crisis isn’t real (because they have an appartment). Any societal problem is either made up or has always been this way, so lets just support the people that tell us it’s all made up. Right-wing politicians spewing hatred against minorities, left wingers, environmentalists are the only authentic ones 'telling it as it is".
It’s such a lazy cop-out.
It’s Eriwan in German. I didn’t look up if it had a different English spelling. :D
My father used to tell jokes about the GDR and Soviet Union when I was a kid. I was in kindergarten when the Berlin wall fell. Nowadays you can tell almost the same jokes about the US…
Question for the radio station Eriwan: Could the catastrophe of Chernobyl have been avoided? Answer: Principally yes, if only Sweden hadn’t spilled the beans.
Question for the radio station Eriwan: Is there censorship in the Soviet Union? Answer: Principally no, but unfortunately we are unable to further elaborate.
Question for the radio station Eriwan: How does the soviet government act in a crisis? Answer: We do not provide information regarding the state of our Agriculture sector.
Question for the radio station Eriwan: Is it difficult to go to the moon? Answer: Principally no, but how do we convince our cosmonauts to come back again?
Looking forward to reusing them for the US.
Ja, war letzte Woche noch mit einer Freundin drin. Zutritt kostet nichts, nur Schatzkammer und Turm. Dafür gibt’s Einlassbeschränkung und Taschenkontrolle.
When I was small my parents just didn’t bring me to hotels that weren’t explicitly for families. Those normal boring grown-up hotels just weren’t for us until we were old enough, so we went to the fun hotels with playgrounds. Why can’t we go back to that?
And people wouldn’t be so annoyed by children if the parents didn’t insist that they should be allowed to run around and do whatever they want. It’s not just “let me go everywhere with my kids”, it’s “let me bring my kids and then let them yell and smash things and cry as much as they want because they are kids.” There’s a nice café in my city where I don’t go anymore, because it’s full of mothers with their toddlers from the nearby playground who just continue playing as loudly as ever. Last time I went I ended up with sand in my coffee when some kid waved around his toy car that was full of sand from the playground. The mother refused to buy me a new coffee because “he’s just a kid”. A beach bar by the river actual changed their policy and now refuses entry to children under 12, because it had become too expensive for them to keep replacing food and drinks every time a kid threw the sand around. And of course the parents usually refused to pay for what their kids destroyed.
If parents can’t be trusted to make good decisions like “My 4-year-old who can’t sit still for more than a minute should not be brought to a spa where people come to relax.” or at the very least feel responsible for what they destroy, this is what happens. And if too many parents refuse to pay up when their kid destroys something, owners will prefer to ban kids.
People who say they don’t like children are being hated on, but 99% of the time they just don’t like children who are allowed to do whatever they want whereever they are and parents who take zero responsibility under the guise of it’s just a child.
Oh, he (or someone else in his circle) surely did. Make it illegal for them to be there -> they have nowhere to go -> they go to prison for illegally existing -> free slave labor.
What do you mean? Like cigar salons or coffeehouse culture, where people had philosophical discussions?
German here, I’ve worked with several areas of our municipalities in the past and can only agree. A lot of public servants are overworked and really try to do a good job. Many work insane ours and you’d actually need at least three people for the job instead of one.
