      Hey buddy, according to dozens of youtubers and podcasters, my personal information is already out there for every one unless I pay $10.99 to an internet scrubber

    Yearly recurring protests and riots on may 1st.

    So much so that we now have riot-tourists that only come to experience “throwing a stone at a bank” or “getting arrested for lighting a garbage bin on fire”

    Not my current town, but the town I grew up in.

    In short, volcanoes. The town in built next to a lake. The biggest lake in the country. The lake is a caldera crater, from one of the biggest volcanic eruptions ever that we know of. And fun fact, it’s still slightly active, and several hundred years overdue.

    My city replaced the green city patch (sorry can’t post pictures due to privacy) that was near the town hall and replaced it with natural stone.

    Before:
    About a 450 m² area of a few trees, about 3 or 4 big chestnut trees and some smaller brushes.
    The ground was mostly grassy with a few earth patches in the bushes.
    In the middle was a seat and rest area in a stone circle and park benches and on either side was a cobblestone path.
    Something like a mini park.
    Around it was a small open stream of water and a little waterfall that was about 50cm tall

    Very beautiful.

    Now:
    The whole city center was redone with white/yellowish natural cobblestone (formerly it was mostly rusty red and grey)
    The park area was fully replaced with a stone desert and 6 or 7 “native trees” (as if chestnut wasnt native lmao) sourrounded by a pebble-like ground.
    Around it they have built a stone stair case to sit on. Likely for events and such.

    Besides the park it was done very well.
    But they mutilated the small patch of greenery around the center with a stone hellscape.
    I love my town but I will never respect that decision.
    I would really like to show pictures to demonstrate the change for the worse :(

    Castells - a competition of building human towers as high as possible.

    It has a long history where I live in Catalonia - there’s a good museum of it in the Villafranca team’s practice facility :-)

      Wow, that takes me back! I haven’t thought about that or the second version in years.
