These are decent points, but if you would use Linux you would not have these problems! You would have different problems, but somehow blame others, like why didn’t make X decent drivers for Linux, or why am I still forced to use Teams…

Wanted to say the same, the uncle Sam hat might just as wel be replaced by an EU hat.

So does the air you breathe, it’s very possible you just inhaled a molecule the last dinosaur exhaled.

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

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 remember when “the internet” was a bunch of older nerds and kids. My parents, aunts, uncles, etc didn’t even know how to go online. It was great! More users made it much worse. Please don’t become the mainstream OS.

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

Trump basically got done what Putin never was able to do. They got the EU to agree on stuff and prepare for military actions agains Russia. The EU has this was up call that we can’t bet our safety and future on an American (NATO) promise that might be only a promise.

Hot take, bullet lists instead of numbered list, while everyone talks about number X is annoying as fuck

This is what everyone I know that had one told me. The operation was not that bad, maybe a 5/10 on pain. The days after my ballsack was getting really purple blue and parts of my penis also, this was more like a 8/10. Where a 10/10 is breaking your leg because a car drove over it After about a week I went to a doctor to make sure this was “normal”, he said everything looked ok, but I’m just unlucky as for most guys it is almost painless. About 10 days after things got better in a couple of days.

I don’t want to scare anyone but going in thinking it will not hurt is not true for everyone. For me thinking it shouldn’t hurt (while it did) made me worry much more, thinking they might have messed something up.

Meh, it’s definitely not 100% chance of success. Every year that passes reduces the chance of a succes to reverse it. Also there is always a risk for other complications like ending up with erectile dysfunction, the chance is really small, but I wouldn’t take it too lightly. Mine also hurt like hell for a week and everything was purple blue. I’m probably the exception, but I definitely don’t want to do it a second time.

I don’t know, I once installed xubuntu on my parents old laptop, my dad who knows a little bit about computers hated it. My mom who knows nothing about computers liked it. My dad knows just enough to get spyware and shit

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

In the Netherlands the laws got a lot stricter in the last few years (because we have a housing crisis) a side effect is that some landlords sold rental houses. The price too buy a house did not go down at all. But for anyone that wanted to rent a house it got much and much worse. There where people outbiding other people on rent. It got ridiculous.

I mean you can always find cheaper, but 100 euros on markplaats will definitely get you a decent bike. I tried to sell my old one (we where moving and I didn’t want to take it with me). It still worked even the brakes and gears, although it was a bit rusty, anyway even for 15 euros almost no one showed up. Maybe it was too cheap.

You can sell, but you’ll get way less for a house that has a tenant, because the new owner can’t kick them out. I know someone that bought a house for a really great price, because it had a tenant that had lived there for 50 years or so. It was basically a 10 year waiting game until the tenant died (he was old when this person bought his place). But after that he sold the place for almost double what he paid. I do have to add that in those 10 years the housing market also went up a lot.

I want to add it might seem I like landlords, I don’t, but if we want to get mad at someone it should be the system we accepted as a people.

Maybe but there is a market for it. To me it’s crazy people (students) in the Netherlands pay 15 euros a month for a bicycle, while you can find a working second hand one for about 100 euros.

Same goes for cars, I always save and buy second hand, I would never even consider borrowing for a car. Rather have an older model than debt.

But some people are different and don’t mind to pay extra for less hassle, like the bicycle thing. They replace it when you get a flat tire for example.

For some people that’s also what they like about renting a house, roof has a leak? Landlord has to fix it.

That’s not really true, one of my friends rented an apartment for about 2 years specifically because he didn’t knew if he wanted to live abroad or in a different city. Same goes for my sister she really didn’t want any long term commitments to have the freedom to go anywhere. She didn’t even wanted a 1 year phone contract.

Lots of young people rent because it gives them more freedom and less burden when they want to move.

Also about the premium cost, it really depends on the laws, like in the Netherlands after you have rented a house for over 1 year, the landlord can only raise the rent a certain percentage. Some people have been renting the same apartment for 30+ years and pay a ridiculous low rent.
