I was pretty close to this option, but in the end we moved to a much nicer house. So now our expenses are a lot more. I don’t regret it, it’s a much better place to raise kids.

I did took a sabbatical for about a year, and will probably do that again in 5 years or so. It doesn’t have to be a binary option, you can do sabbaticals (mini retirements) and still work.

I have been using (re)vanced for many years, it’s free and takes a lot less effort.

I scored 16/21 on https://e-mail.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

I feel pretty good about that

Just so you know when they say invitro that means in a petri dish, maybe a better example than a gun is bleach, yeah it works against any virus, but it will also kill you.

Well actually… it turned out that is probably true.

The thing about it costs about the same as Spotify is not really true. I have been using Spotify family for a long long time (maybe 10 years). I use it with 5 other “family” members and we split the costs.

I really want to know the people I’m meeting with, so I know who to ignore and who should be send away.

I read 1984 (as an adult) and really enjoyed it, I’m not sure enjoyed is the right word, as it was also pretty sad. I can highly recommend the book. Animal farm I read for English class when I was 15 (in the Netherlands), didn’t fully get it, and should probably read it again, knowing its meaning.

My Google account is older than 18 years, yet they still want me to verify my age for some youtube videos.

Time to listen to this banger again

When guys ask if they should be worried around you, do they expect women to be worried around them?

I watch them both, LGIO is more about finding glitches and pushing a game to its limits. Grey is more about just not giving up and skill to do the impossible, both are fun.

I’m not an expert but I think frite sauce is basically mayonnaise with cheaper ingredients. To call something mayonnaise (at least in the Netherlands) it must contain 70% oil and 5% egg (yolk).

Yes but they refuse to learn Dutch and nobody should be force to order in French

This

With Belgian mayonaise!

And I’m Dutch so I’m not even biased.

Exactly, this is why strong laws are needed. In the end we (the people) all benefit. Maybe a small example but when the EU started to push for usbc as the only standard, it made things lot better. If you are older and still have a drawer with 15 chargers all with different plugs, voltages and amps you known what I mean. Back in the day before cheap chargers from aliexpress, just replacing a simple charger from the manufacturer could be a pretty expensive thing.

Raise prises and if legally possible even lower wages, hey we are the only bakery in town so it’s getting paid peanuts or have no job at al.

In a classic example you have a village with 2 bakeries, one of the bakers came up with a machine to kneed the bread, so he can make more bread and sell it cheaper. This is sort of the story people tell to show how great capitalism is.

But we have reached a point where that one bakery now owns a chain of bakers, adds ingredients to the bread to make it more addictive, skips on actual ingredients needed for bread and replaces them with sawdust, made donations to the current political party so any competition has to jump through hoops to get a bakery license, etc.

Somehow this unlocked a child memory, when I found out there was a plain text file with the “insults” and I added my own. I felt like a true hacker…

I think the copyright expired and you can just download it for free, maybe its even on the internet archive. I got mine from abandonware or something like that.
