Europeans of Lemmy, what places in Europe should foreigners avoid at all cost?
  • I have read of tourists coming to Vienna and thinking there is anything worth seeing north of the Danube.

    Unless you count the UN headquarters, there isn't. All of that is a completely unstructured and boring mix of industrial, commercial and residential zones mostly built after WW2 like you find anywhere in the world.

  • House Passes Bill To Automatically Register Young Men for the Draft

I always just get a letter a few weeks before elections informing me where my polling place is.
