His talking points aren’t even really interesting. AI is overhyped, companies don’t like to lose IP and data to AI companies, etc.

For me it’s also a price issue, after my streaming more expensive year on year at some point I just stopped and paid for VPN and Usenet.

Unfortunately my local gas station (Netherlands) also puts ads on the pumps. Glad I never have to go there anymore (recently switched to an EV)

When I was in the US it was just confusing sometimes. Like I went to this restaurant to order a pizza, to-go. They had a sign outside and the pizza was like 18 dollars, but when you want to pay its more because of tax, and now they also expected a tip. Ok but it’s to go right? So you also tip when getting groceries? The entire system just felt very arbitrary.

Yeah not every Iranian that is against the current régime wants the Shah back, they also don’t have a great track record.

I think what will hurt them much more is the EU realizing the danger in dependence on American tech like Microsoft, and slowly replacing it with (open source) alternatives.

Yes just like radical Christians, radical Muslims don’t like anything gay, female etc. There is a reason in some Middle Eastern countries women can’t go outside without a man “protecting” them.

Yeah what I mean is for me it doesn’t really matter, I am not going to break a bottle, and even if I accidentally did (not really sure how at the beach in soft sand) I would clean up the glass pieces. Broken bottles at the beach are left by assholes, not by accident.

For me it doesn’t really matter, glass or cans, just take whatever you brought back home or to a trash/recycle can

Nothing burger

My wife told me our son is hypermobile like her because he can sit like this https://andersonvillept.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/711ce16c-8c00-4abc-a7c5-3947d70fb2e5.jpg

That was when I found out it isn’t normal and I’m als hypermobile

I can also do this (I though everyone could) https://my.clevelandclinic.org/-/scassets/Images/org/health/articles/23118-hitchhikers-thumb

What kind of BS is that?

“Ecofascism is “environmentalism through genocide”, opined Klein. Political researcher Alex Amend defined ecofascist belief as “The devaluing of human life—particularly of populations seen as inferior—in order to protect the environment viewed as essential to White identity.””

Basically all the right wing nut bags that are popular now deny climate change. Trump even has his famous drill baby drill bit

Yeah it works more like how cracks used to work back in the day.

I think you have a good point most Dutch people would say lets get Indonesian food today, while actually getting food you probably can’t find exactly the same in Indonesia.

I would probably take D (I think it still has a tiny slice of Italy). Pizza and asian I can’t live without. I think there is still debate on the origin of fries)…

What do you have against hachee?

This can’t really be answered in a simple way. Like a lot of “traditional” European dishes use potatoes. But at some point they where not native to Europe. So does that count? Or something like New York style pizza, is that American? Because in that case the Netherlands for example has a lot of Indonesian dishes that are more variations on traditional Indonesian food (made by immigrants using more local ingredients).

I think food is the best example why immigration and mixing of cultures can really improve humanity.

For a while I listened to techno combined with Mongolian throath singing, it was pretty good actually.

Also delete the apps and use live chat to get them to delete your account.

What? I’m not sure how it is in the US but in many countries zoomers (men) are very right wing. These are the guys that watch rogan and Andrew Tate.

Did that but also removed my account, I was not an active subscriber, but after logging in they push you towards subscribing. AFAIK you can only delelte your account via live chat, be sure to mention Art. 17 GDPR Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’).
