Yes please throw away more of my tax dollars to appease the Oompa Loompa.

Our Ministry of Defense states they already have no idea how to spend the money currently going to the department because there is nothing available. They will be sitting on a huge pile of money while other causes will have to cut back drastically.

It was mentioned on Lubach, I couldn’t really remember the specifics so I figured it was probably Amsterdam but I can’t really spot it on first sight. I don’t believe it’s Rotterdam, the tram doesn’t even look like the ones in Amsterdam

Thanks, that’s the one I meant

I agree with the sentiment, just not with the phrasing.

Whether you think you can or you can’t; you’re right.

Although I fully agree with keeping it simple like that and I would state to anyone that this is basically correct, there are some technical differences between a ‘normal’ LED and QLEDs. And then there’s also Quantum Dot OLEDs which applies this ‘quantum’ (marketing term) layer to an OLED screen.

So in short, yeah they’re different but it’s indeed mostly marketing.

I was thinking: there’s is no way this is the Netherlands, I know none of these towns and they sound Belgian. Turns out it’s because this is Belgium.

I don’t have an answer to your question, sorry. But as I was reading your story I just recognized so many different things. When I was about your age I was about to finish college but I was also just hitting the weed every day as soon as my schedule cleared up for it. Blissful moments would be spent with my closest friends, having beers until early morning and smoking a lot, playing video games, doing my music production…

Now I do my corpo job from home every day and my free time is spent trying to get rid of the unrest of doing nothing. So I try to surpress that by watching screens or doing housework so that I at least feel like I accomplished something.

I’ve been sidelined from work for a while to see if I could work on myself and that’s what I do now. Medication is very much a last ditch effort for me and I’m not there yet.

But I find my most enjoyable moments in life are ‘gezelligheid’, a Dutch word that exists in no other main language which just means having a nice time with your favorite people and just enjoying moments together. In my case, a big part of it is drinking fancy beers and nice wine and eating good food. I can feel my body is telling me to make healthier choices but it is completely contrary to me living a happy life.

As far as idle time goes, my therapist today advised to acknowledge the unrest and just notice it being there without adding any judgment, so in a way de-fusing yourself from your emotions in such a moment. I’m half excited to try it if I need it but I’m also a little skeptical because mindfulness has never really done much for me.

I think it’s important to find out why you feel awful in these moments.

But I feel your pain. All my earlier hobbies just feel empty and shallow. Somehow I crave new contacts, new people in my life. But I don’t really dare to go out into the world to find them. I’ve joined a tennis club and a political party, just to see what I can get from it. But I’m in no rush, I will take it as it comes.

And for your reference, I am also happy with my girl and our three cats. I think we have a lot in common!

We are still a long ways away from AI being able to replace programmers. The amount of sheer bullshit code and wrong stuff it writes currently will cripple any information system currently keeping economies up and running.

It really depends on the type of shock but say anaphylaxis causes blood vessels to dilate, resulting in lower blood pressure. A lower blood pressure will eventually lead to not enough blood reaching vital organs in time which is bad for you.

Shock is a medical term used to describe any hindrance of regular blood flow. It’s not the same as being ‘shocked’, like if something traumatic happened to you.

Just until the rule book is so specific you can only win if you have certain sponsors.

The Confederate Flag thing is just laughable. I will never understand why some Europeans are so hung up on American politics.

In Amsterdam there was one of those pickups parked partly on tram rails. Imagine being that much of a prick.

When I see the rising popularity of those Ram or F150 monstrosities in small (sub) urban areas it makes me cry for humanity a bit

I used to wear jeans only and I pretty much hated it. I now wear those mildly stretchy pants that normally go under suits. On top, I wear polo’s when the setting is semi formal. I try to find the ones that are loosely fitting because I’m kinda self conscious about wearing stuff that’s too short or tight.

Idk where you are located but for me, www.wefashion.nl has what I need. You could have a look, even if you’re not in the Netherlands. Maybe you’ll find a similar store in your area that also deals in large sizes like that. I’m close to 2m tall and I kind of have a beer belly but narrow shoulders so only XL really works for me.

And do 90% really speak English? Might be a bit of a stretch.

Well yeah but most Dutch people are cheap as hell so paying for delivery is a bit much if you can drive there and have a huge amount of trouble fitting a couch in their 2001 Corsa.

Near as I can figure is that the post is meant to frame Democrats as people that only deport people ‘legally’ and that they don’t need to use force and still get a big chunk of the job done.

Not that I have a horse in this fight, but how many migrants don’t pass these border guards and live in houses completely undocumented and unbeknownst to the US government? It’s difficult to get stats on things you don’t know.

In any event, nobody is illegal and there is no world where any kind of violence or threatening of livelihood is warranted.

Because driving to Ikea means you can take stuff with you without paying for delivery. Plus sometimes we just wanna walk through the store and that means either going by car or taking two busses.
