Re:What will be left for us to work on? on Wednesday July 15, 2026 @02:34AM (#48917029)
We need to be responsible for the things we write. You write with a certainty of a gloomy scenario, even though you can’t predict the future. Saying hopeless things like that is not only bad for your psyche, but can also inflict mental damage onto others.
Re:The seed oil panic is hurting my cardiac patients on Sunday May 24, 2026 @05:14PM (#48261053)
The advice that surfaces here when a healthy-eating article is posted always leave me surprised. “Don’t eat added sugars, or only very rarely”. Have you looked around and seen the infinite amount of delicious food available literally everywhere? Sure, make an effort to reduce those, but to me cutting out those is akin to recommending someone to be celibate or not to ever commit a sin. Those ultra virtuous (and maybe boring) people who can live 100% on a perfect diet of fish and vegetables are like catholic priests advising everyone to join them in their renouncing of the wonders of life. Sugar (in all its forms) in moderation is probably a net positive in life quality than living an ideal life and rejecting a cake at your nephew’s birthday party because “you don’t eat poison”. Relax a bit people, eat nutritious meals most of the time, watch your caloric intake and enjoy your life.
That sounds fun and interesting! Where can I download your app?

Besides the housing problems, what would you say are the biggest developments in the Netherlands over two decades?
Of course, because this is a democratic place for open discussion (irony)
Re:Noam Chomsky's wife responds to Epstein controversy on Sunday February 08, 2026 @11:38AM (#46935897)
The guy is literally photographed inside a plane with Epstein. And supported him after accusations had been made.
Thank you for your comment. I think that can help many people.

How are you using Nitter? I’ve tried, but it’s a headache to host it.

Origin feels much faster to me than Wipr

I’ve been testing it in beta for a month or so and I can report that at least to me websites load much faster than with Adguard or Wipr.
Re:Let Kids Be Loud on Thursday July 10, 2025 @02:26AM (#44517916)
That’s a reasonable argument. But in this day and age there are no shades of grey.
Re:Let Kids Be Loud on Thursday July 10, 2025 @02:25AM (#44517907)
That’s my experience too. I wonder why. Too much freedom given to the kids here?
Re:Let Kids Be Loud on Thursday July 10, 2025 @02:23AM (#44517895)
Are you serious about this advice? Parents cannot be politely approached by a neighbor, because their kids, who they chose to have, are disturbing others regularly?
Re:Let Kids Be Loud on Thursday July 10, 2025 @02:21AM (#44517883)
Your tolerance to noise levels says nothing about other people’s tolerance for it. Do not use your baseline to determine what is normal and what is not when it comes to sensorial experiences.

It sounds interesting. Is it available for download?
Me neither, but the media is in a frenzy to scrutinize Trump. He certainly gives them lots of reason to do so, but I doubt those type of actions as response to visa violations didn’t occur before.
Re:Stoop Coffee: A simple idea transformed my neighborhood on Tuesday March 25, 2025 @02:12PM (#43474167)
Very similar story to mine. Moving from Amsterdam to the “suburbs” of a smaller city in the Netherlands AND getting a dog was the only way I’ve found to meet new people and befriend neighbors.

RIP Wiz. Everything that Google puts their hands on, dies within years.
Don’t commit crime = No such problem!
I have news for you. Both are here to stay. It’s like saying I hope the internet bubble bursts.

So you prefer to sit on 50 liter of a highly flammable liquid instead.
“Free market”. Such a thing doesn’t really exist.
So extremely sad. I cannot stop crying about this. #irony
Re:Why America's economy is soaring ahead of its rivals on Wednesday December 04, 2024 @03:50AM (#42315667)
To add to the other comments to which I agree: create a war in Europe that deeply affects the Germany economy, by raising energy prices. Help destroy their industry by provoking a war in the continent.
Are you saying that the largest media complex in Brazil, Globo, supports conservative candidates? Where and how?
This is almost to the letter what happened to me in Spain. What you described is real.
Thanks for the explanation, all more clear now!
