seems like that is only do able for heavy duty shoes

Huh? Goodyear welting is just a construction method. You can apply it to any shoe style like loafers or chukkas. See e.g. Crockett & Jones “Harvard” or the less expensive https://berwickshoes.com/gb/9628-k5-superbuck-snuff.html

The only problem with Goodyear welted shoes it’s that the sole is very stiff. You can try Blake stitched instead.

But yeah in general you’ll need to change the shoe style you wear to more traditional. Goral has some more casual blake stitched styles too: https://www.goral-shoes.co.uk/collections/mens

We can put a little statue of him next to the de Gaulle statue near that roundabout in Warsaw would be funny no

I have expressed it once and shall repeat it again: a referendum is an atrocious idea in times of the printing press and foreign influence crusades. The royalists fancy plebiscites for it allows them to mislead the common folk into expressing the existence of the monarchy as “will of the people”. And that’s exactly why they shall not be trusted.

Oh sorry this is /c/Europe, not /c/YUROP

“Europe risks falling behind on AI development”

Being behind on high tech innovation is an European insecurity. Whenever a new American tech fad comes along - blockchain or AI - Europe seems to jump on it as an opportunity to catch up. Fundamentally though, to get on the fad train you’ll need to buy USA hardware (nVidia, Intel, AMD etc.). It feels like this insecurity is being weaponized so that more US hardware gets sold.

My local diner is too concerned being pissed at people who order fries to implement AI. If three people order fries separately instead of having shouted from the end of the line that they will be ordering some, the staff gets pissed and you get reprimanded. So I’ll either keep spending my money there or invest in some cooking courses. That way I’ll skip paying 4 EUR for a pitcher of tap water (Poland, don’t ask).

Unia nakazuje rozdzielenie Facebooka i Messengera

Meta: wariacie dalej wszystko jest rozdzielone tylko możesz korzystać tylko przez aplikację

Eh szkoda, do prowadzących jedynej grupy tanga w Białym mogłem napisać tylko przez Messengera. Są cały czas na FB bo są starsi niż typowy milenials i to pewnie jedyne medium z którym czują się komfortowo.

I recently saw someone post their Xfire game history before it went down and it had PlanetSide 2 on the list. I thought damn, this game is THAT old?

I don’t know what they’re even doing. TeamSpeak/Mumble is not a replacement for Discord. There’s no separate text channels in addition to the voice ones. It’s just a VOIP program. If you move from Discord to one of those you’re either in addition fundamentally changing your way of thinking or you’re in for disappointment.

For one there’s no “public communities” as with Discord. Here are the biggest servers from mumist.eu:

Only cast iron from Le Creuset is made in France, right?

I think American history is just as valid as European - it doesn’t matter that the former starts later. It’s not my intention to ponder which culture is better, but to observe that there is in fact a lot of the American bits around us here in Europe. Then we can figure out which parts on our side make up an European identity.

If you have any thoughts about how the lengths of the respective histories affect the lifestyles on both sides please share. I also see that it’s your first interaction on Lemmy so welcome :)

I’m trying to point out that “buy from EU, stop buying American” is part of a bigger picture, and you can go farther if you like.

If you’re annoyed about the US, just stop consuming their media

Sure I can and I’m doing it like I described, it’s just the organic exposure for other people who do “default” things (TV, cinema etc.) will still be high. I guess I’m just observing that this culture’s presence is so strongly felt, even though it’s country is across the pond. Globalization, satellites and underwater cables make this possible of course, but why is the exposure by default built in into so many aspects of our lives? Sure you can change your habits and look the other way, but the apparatus will still be working in the background.

Also if the American lifestyle is exported so much, what is the European lifestyle like? Riding a bike instead of a tank-sized car? Taking a month vacation and not bringing your work phone? Walking to places? These are the tropes but what are the real distinctions?

These guides are getting a little repetitive on this community. They always say and recommend the same things. What new is being said here? What are the 80 upvotes for?

We should have a buyfromeu circlejerk community and just post “Bro did you hear about Fritz Kola” and “Bro I switched to Tutanota” continuously (I am not kidding)

What items do you have in mind?

A good “gateway drug” is buying second hand. It lets you get acknowledged with a brand and let you decide if you’d like to drop the retail or sale price on an item from them in the future. They don’t necessarily even need to be made in EU, just they need to come from a higher price bracket.

Here are my Vinted filters for mostly EU brands (only some are made in EU), they link to the Polish Vinted so maybe change the .pl to your region:

• Pants
• Shoes
• Scarves
• Belts
• French workwear
• Knitwear

Poland has the most connected regions on Vinted so your results may vary.
