I think you're only supposed to add up the agree and disagree, and the strongly and somewhat are subcategories that are shown separately of the main categories.

Bad data representation, but not outright lying here. Where the lie comes in is that you had to be a Trump supporter to even vote. It's based on CPAC attenders, aka politically active MAGAs. The 1% that disagree he's doing a great job probably want him to be doing more of his bs.

The emissions part I'll have to agree on, but safety? Germany is literally among the safest nations to drive in. There's not much lower you can go.

As ICE vehicles get phased out, people will naturally start driving fast less often. EVs force you to stop for much longer when you run out of charge. Driving 2x as fast means making 4x as many stops and the stops aren't 3 minutes with an EV.

It also saves the document as one of "your documents" making sure there's a trace of you having seen it

There's a good chance they're porn consumers themselves and just feel weirdly shameful.

Amateur porn tends to be way better anyway. The ladies look way less plastic and sad, the moans aren't usually horribly overdone, and it's just hotter in general.

Most of the good porn is amateur couples anyway. Wonder what their take on that would be.

Yeah but then what's the point of visiting Germany as a tourist slash petrolhead?

Jokes aside, I'm of the opinion that existing freedoms are generally best left alone. Besides, Germany has a lower rate than Estonia and we have much lower speed limits. 120 on newly built separated highways in the summer (actually these might have 120 with good conditions in winter too - they have digital signage), 110 on old separated highways and in October or so, they go and collect all the 110 signs and replace them with 100... And up to 90 everywhere else.

There's a good chance the limitless autobahn is actually part of what makes German numbers so good. It just requires stricter training and policing, stricter TÜV and for people to always check their mirrors before switching lanes. And just good lane discipline in general. You don't get that in a lot of Europe. People switch lanes whenever because they're going 10 over the speed limit and can't possibly imagine someone else is going faster than them, potentially very close behind, in the other lane.

PS: traffic fun fact: Did you know that in Latvia, a two lane undivided highway has up to four active lanes? There's the law abiding citizen lanes (known as shoulders in the west) and the BMW/Audi lanes in the middle, marked by the white lines.

I'm not against either of our countries increasing military spending either, I'm just disgusted that a bunch of people are getting rich off people dying. Hence my idea that weapons manufacturing should be a public industry, not a for-profit one. European nations could still collaborate too. Not everyone needs to make everything.

You can pry my monster ultra from my cold dead hands at the ripe old age of 30.

They're so well regulated that they can safely drive on roads with no speed limit, whereas the US for example has pretty low limits and multiple times the fatal crashes (proportionally to population)

... It's because he's black, isn't it?
