There are some amazing sneaker brands from Europe. Few of them are :

Adidas (Germany), Puma (Germany), VEJA (France), Salomon (France), Diadora (Italy), Karhu (Finland), Gola (United Kingdom), Superga (Italy), Hummel (Denmark), Munich (Spain)

Adidas and puma is obviously my fav but there are many others.

Please share your fav European brand for our sneaker heads :)

Der österreichische schwurblerkanal auf1 verbreitet Mal wieder hochgefährliche Falschinformationen.

Wie kann es legal sein, die Einnahme von Bleichmittel zu empfehlen? Kann dem Russland finanzierten Dreck nicht endlich Mal jemand den Riegel vorschieben?

Poste hier keinen Link um den Scheiß nicht noch weiter zu verbreiten, aber man findet es leicht auf ihrer Website.

That's why I'm a big proponent of the Anticonsumption and Minimalism Movement. :)

You are right. It's just a friendly reminder. :)

Yes we have to keep it inclusive. However, it's still not bad that we encourage people to buy as locally as possible.

Isn't that exactly the way Bluesky/ATprotocol works? You can store your account/data wherever your want (PDS) and the Relays/Firehorses are responsible to aggregate posts.

I also like ActivityPub more but Bluesky is definitely easier to use.

I see a lot of posts of people complaining that some import products from the EU are too expensive in their own country - namely there was a viral post about someone from Bulgaria sharing that the German Fritz Cola is 2x more expensive than the US alternatives.

In this movement no one is asking you to buy Fritz, buy Bulgarian alternatives first - I am sure there are plenty of bulgarian cola alternatives.

If you live in Bulgaria (ofc whichever country actually) this is best thing to do:

  1. ⁠Buy as local for your city, region you can get (support small companies, mom & pop shops, farmers etc)
  2. Buy generally Bulgarian stuff to support your own economy
  3. Buy EU stuff to support EU economy
  4. Buy Canada or any other ally nation stuff to support good relationship
  5. Buy from USA, China etc (arguably buy Chinese before american)

Ofc the list is just an example on the thought process, you can also make your own list based on your own convictions

Red Bull - European but Far right

Buy European but ... Also with ethical considerations.

Red Bull might sound cool, but they have their own TV station in Austria. (servus TV) And that station js beyond far right. Spreading disinformation, and Russian propaganda, Corona Bullshi, Ivermectint, cleaning stuff with chlorid, climate change deniers, ... If there is a conspiracy they support it ...

(And it's also not very healthy,....)

 

They try to produce them as sustainable as possible. You can replace the battery and other parts. And you support an European company!

Buying and paying for services is not only an American virtue, it's also a virtue of our fucked up system and the world we're living in right now. We know that we deserve better. We're known for our resilience, our personal and societal values and our thinking. Buy European and Be European!

Here's suggestions on how you can minimise your dependence on apps and services. It's not only a truly European value, but it not only helps your local businesses and also saves you in case of emergencies. Also: Make backups and store them in places other than your home.

My suggestions:

Print your photos, make photo books. Store your files on physical Hard Drives, print your most important documents and put them into folders. Make password protected backups on drives and give them to family members or close friends.

Get a real alarm clock, an egg timer, a DAB+ radio with a CD drive and Internet radio. Get a weather station. Store some music files on your devices with your favorite songs.

Download Wikipedia and store it on an external drive or on your phone. Have survival and emergency manuals and books at home. Keep your paper AND digital vaccination passes up-to-date!

Get paper timetables and maps from your public transportation provider. A foldable map of your area and learn how to navigate with it. Walk your streets, remember street names, shops and districts again.

Go to your local Library, get a free or really cheap membership there. Read physical and digital newspapers from the library. Use the computers and Internet access in the library. Play games on consoles at your library. Stream movies and music from your library. Rent tools for sewing or drilling Rent board and card games! READ BOOKS!

Get a paper notebook with a pen. Real Books, an eReader. A second-hand film- or digital camera. A calculator. A contact book and calendar.

A TAN generator for your online banking, if possible. Cash! For every day and emergencies.

Let's add stuff to this list.
