People would freak the fuck out if he was holding a Koran instead but because it’s a Bible it’s socially acceptable… Silly stuff.

Lol I love how it says "considered one of the more humane ways to sacrifice laboratory rodents. Who are they sacrificing them to? The great God of science?

It’s the same in the Netherlands. The most vulnerable traffic participant is always protected. Bicycle gets hit by a car? Cars fault. Pedestrian gets hit by a bicycle? Cyclists fault. And so on.

I mean, the fact that there is stuff for sale in the US with the label saying “scientists in California have proven this causes cancer” is proof enough that even a crazy nutter like RFK can be sometimes right.

He didn’t come in go fix things. You can argue he did the first time he was president (even though most of his decisions then also backfired and were shit) but this time around all he’s doing is destroy things.

I think there’s some things in place but there’s still a lot of reliance on American systems which is a bit risky. If Trump decides to start tariffing anything to do with Visa or Mastercard shit would hit the fan real quick.

That’s what they did in my country when a bunch of the big banks almost keeled over in 2008/2009. They were temporarily (partly) owned by the state and eventually bought back their rights to operate as a separate business when things were going better again.

Alright I’ll bite, give me some examples of good shows with multiple layers of storytelling, interesting characters and engaging story telling that were made in the last five years. And as I’ve said in another comment, I know there’s still some good ones out there (The Boys, Gen V, Blue eye samurai, Better call Saul, After life), my point is that it feels like there’s less of these while the total amount of shows has only increased over time.

There are still some good shows left but it definitely feels like more of a challenge to find them then before. I haven’t watched regular TV shows in ages because most of it is crap nowadays. The last one I can vividly remember watching whenever it came out was Castle and I even quit watching that after 1 or 2 seasons.

There’s almost no original story telling in shows anymore, it all just feels the same. The only standout shows I can remember watching last year were Blue eye samurai and the Boys. Everything else is just a bit of a blur.

I love House, most jokes in that show are very funny and a bit scathing but at least they make fun of everyone and everything. Much better than nowadays, where most comedy is very plain and safe.

I agree, I watched one about the Netherlands a while back and it was pretty trash. They’re fun videos for entertainment purposes but definitely not correct.

Except most governments. They also fund humanitarian aid for the Palestinians on the down-low but publically they’re supporting Israel. Just look at the US.

This whole conflict has just always felt like a massive grey area as an outsider. Both sides have done horrible things over the years, with the retaliation often being even worse. Most governments (including mine) are actually supporting both sides, for example through humanitarian aid. That’s just kind of weird when you think about it, in a way they’re enabling both sides to keep going. And I just don’t know if there’s any way out of this besides one side completely destroying the other. Peace talks have been had so many times and it just doesn’t lead anywhere. It just feels inevitable.

The family plan sadly isn’t an option for me, I don’t have anyone in my family that uses YouTube as much as I do so they wouldn’t be interested in it.

I wouldn’t mind paying a little bit of money every month to get YouTube ad free. However, it costs €12 a month. That’s a lot of money if you only care about getting rid of ads. I personally don’t need the other features (downloading videos, background play and YouTube music). If they added a 5 to 7 euro a month tier through which you could get rid of ads then that would be much more interesting to me. Now I just feel like I should keep looking for ways around their pop up shenanigans.

Wow that car looks petty neat. I always thought the Leaf was a pretty decent EV (and one of the first more well known ones) and it felt like they never really innovated on it too much. Perhaps this is finally the point where they start doing that again.

Nope, it feels like most people are too far gone for that and they’ll never accept it. All thanks to these dumb politicians that took bribes to cover it up for years and years. Thanks for making our futures so much worse…

This is my main problem with hydrogen cars. I think it’s a very cool concept that might eventually overtake pure electric cars but there’s almost no places to get hydrogen yet.

It’d be funny if he called him “Winnie the pooh” when he meets him to explain himself :)

I usually just end up recording them if I really want to watch them so I can fast forward through the commercials when I watch it later.
