Good call, totally agree

Clearly you mean 52413

I didn’t realise

Getting upside down under our bed and using her sharp ass nails to move around the under side. She does this to tell us she’s hungry. At 6 AM.

Looks like a really fun game! 30 euros is a bit steep though.

Houten is pretty small but Groningen, one of the the larger cities in the Netherlands, is now going in this direction. I applaud it. Now it’s just students on bikes that are dangerous. And delivery people on fatbikes or e-scooters.

There’s this FBI dude in Poker Face who also drinks milk a lot and at some point he just chugs a cup of half and half at a coffee machine.

Dunno who you’re referring to but the Stop Killing Games petition was started when Ubisoft announced that gamers would no longer be able to play The Crew, despite having bought it.

It’s not new that online functionality is turned off after the player base dies down, but to be completely unable to play a game that can be played offline is crazy.

So now there’s a petition circulating, but it’s nearing its end. There are only a couple of days left I think.

It’s a petition for the EU (or maybe Europe or the EER, I’m not sure), and every country needs a certain amount of signatures. I think some Mediterranean island nations are still lagging, but most countries have plenty now.

If you’re in Europe, find the petition and sign it. Especially if you live in Malta or Cyprus.

Ah no I started at one. You can transpose my list by one and set zeven as 12.

I enjoyed the Star Wars Jedi games.

Dutch is an Anglo-Saxon language so that makes sense.

Acht, drie, een, elf, negen, tien, twaalf, twee, vier, vijf, zes, zeven.

8, 3, 1, 11, 9, 10, 12, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7

After Miracle Workers, Guns Akimbo and especially Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, Daniel Radcliffe is so much more than Harry Potter to me. He’s got this almost Nicolas Cage-y vibe now

I take an injection every four weeks, they cost 600 each. Add up a few visits to the dentist, GP and a check up at an academic hospital and I’d pay about a third of the actual cost.

Then again my dad never has any ailments, lives a healthy lifestyle with a lot of exercise and he pays the same.

Yep the issue with our system is that people who never see a doctor or a hospital pay for the ones that have been dealt a rough hand or live unhealthy. The idea is that being ill is not the standard. You should be able to do a Pareto analysis of costs and it might check out.

It varies per country. If you would go to the Netherlands, you’d still need health insurance. You can only get it if you are a Dutch citizen in some way. The costs of this are about 180/month. Plus you have what we call your own risk. If you need healthcare you pay 385 maximum yourself. If you can’t pay that, there are installment plans. And if the 180 a month is too steep for you, there is support from the Belastingdienst (IRS) that is dependent on your income.

So example: if you need an operation that is covered in basic Dutch health insurance and you would live here for a year on work visum, you might pay 2400 a year in insurance costs and 385 own risk, totaling to 2785. If the operation would cost more than that in the US, you’re in luck.

This is all provided you can get health insurance in the Netherlands.

In the Netherlands, as a Dutch citizen, health insurance is mandatory.

I just get a notification stating I don’t allow them to track me so they have no garbage to stuff down my throat

To the point of the one above you, Belgium is technically younger than the United States.

But honestly, the only reason we really know how messed up a lot of these things are, is because of people digging into these things and finding out that power corrupts. We need transparency, integrity and honesty if we are to get to a point where we don’t read the news with existential dread.

I think most of governing at this point is cleaning up messes from before and creating new messes along the way because we are incapable of solving problems sustainably.

Take immigration, which has become a widespread issue all throughout the west. Rather than figuring out how to stop people from wanting to run away to our countries, we prefer to exile these people, separate them from our society and, if at all possible, just make them not come into our countries at all. I’m not saying there’s a simple solution, I’m just saying we are so focused on combating symptoms, we completely ignore the actual cause of issues.

It looks good! I’m gonna play the shit outta this game

I would really respect Brobama if he would just let go of his entire legacy and dedicate the rest of his days just doing satirical comedy like this.
