My initial reaction was also “I 100% approve of this” but we shouldn’t forget that he will only go after churches that are actually doing something useful, like collecting clothes and donations for the poor, as the people running those churches are generally opposed to trump. Don’t think those evangelical maga-preaching megachurches, which are much more problematic, will ever be targeted by him.
I’m sorry to hear you are in this situation. There’s some great suggestions here already that I am also saving for myself, and I though it high time to talk about our national dish; stamppot.
Stamppot is a dutch family of dishes that are very simple to make. In essence, it is boiled potatoes, mixed with vegetables and mashed. A little bit of butter/oil to make it smoother. Traditionally eaten with small pieces of bacon mashed through and sausage on the side, but you can also add spices like rosemary + thyme, nutmeg, turmeric + cumin, or even cheese to bring it to taste.
Typical vegetables/combos:
Butcher: “Excellent choice! Now, in case this is your first time using salted meat, I should stress that it must be desalted by leaving it in some water for a few hours, changing the water frequently. After that, it is perfect for roasting!”
Generally? No.
The sequels are also very nice!
The “poorness” isn’t as much of a talking point here afaik, but more to do with the reduction of livestock farming. Long story short, a lot of our soil is currently used for agriculture, which means we have a lot of nitrogen emissions, mostly from fertilizers. The only viable solution is to vastly reduce our livestock (with proposals going so far as to halve it). Unfortunately, the farmers don’t like this, so they blocked the roads and brought manure into cities.
Now I should stress that I am absolutely in favour of halving our livestock, but the farmers here were also really fucked over in some regards. Big banks, predominantly the Rabobank, pressured farmers to take on big loans to build even bigger stables for livestock, knowing full well that this was coming. They are counting on the government to help out the farmers, which means a lot of taxpayer money for them. There are many farmers that behave like assholes, going so far as to intimidate politicians at their homes, so I have little sympathy for them. But I cannot deny that the situation was not entirely of their own making.
Im Westen Nichts Neues (All Quiet on the Western Front).
There are some historical inaccuracies, sure, but it is an amazing movie showing the horrors of trench warfare and the careless nature of the commanding officers in the First World War. It leaves you with a sense of dread, something war movies should do more often imo.
Thank you for this incredibly sweet share, Comrade Sharkfucker
Idiots! Percent only goes up to one hundred, dummies. Big pharma isn’t even hiding it anymore…
This is correct. However, many websites/newspapers/magazines/etc. love to get more clicks with sensational headlines that are technically true, but can be easily interpreted as something much more sinister/exciting. This headline is a great example of it. While you interpreted it correctly, or claim to at least, there will be many people that initially interpret it the second way you described. Me among them, admittedly. And the people deciding on the headlines are very much aware of that. Therefore, the headline can absolutely be deemed misleading, for while it is absolutely a correct statement, there are less ambiguous ways to phrase it.
First name is very rare here in The Netherlands, but these days it is quite common to use the “casual” form of you (je/jij) rather than the polite form (u). That was very different some 70 years ago.
Funnily enough it was treated as such, and same with the “critical miss”
With us it kind of depends on the situation. If a critical success or fail would make sense or be very funny we treat it as such.
As another user commented, it was started by JayZ. It is still American, so I also tried Soundcloud, but it had too many things missing sadly, especially in terms of soundtracks. So Tidal will do for now.
Yeah I’ve switched to Tidal when I read about it. It’s a shame, in terms of usability Spotify is definitely ahead, but I would rather use an inferior product than pay nazi supporters
I see a lot of hate for the HIMYM finale and… I truly do not get it. I will not praise it as a cinematic masterpiece, because it isn’t. But it is an ending that they have been building up since the very beginning, and it makes perfect sense given the characters and what they went through. There are a lot of show endings that cannot claim that at all, with random last-minute additional arcs or forgetting things from earlier seasons. I haven’t seen any of that in HIMYM. So yeah, I think it’s a decent ending overall, and I truly do not understand the hate it gets.
As for GoT; yeah that went into shitshow territory from season 7 for me personally.
*La Grande Vadrouille", or by it’s English title, “Don’t look now, we’re being shot at.” Three RAF pilots accidentally strand themselves in occupied France. With the help of the resistance, and some guys who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, they try to escape. It’s definitely a product of its time, but it’s not too bad compared to some other titles of this age. Definitely worth a watch!
It’s kinda mainstream, but I’ve enjoyed Modern Family quite a bit. Sure, there is some friction, but it all works out in the end, so perhaps that fits what you’re looking for.
There are perfectly valid reasons not to switch to Linux. Many people could switch, which is why encouraging switching is fine, but when the entire work environment is in Windows, or they need specific software that does not work properly (or at all) on Linux, fully switching is not an option. I love me a “Windows Bad, Linux Good” meme, don’t get me wrong, but that is a meme at the end of the day. Reality is often much more nuanced, and this is no exception.

There are great examples in this thread of great games from years past. But from more recent games, everyone who has played BG3 to its close (or near it) will likely agree with me. It was an amazing buildup and amazing scene when it happened.
Seconding bazzite here. If you want to “get to know Linux” you might want to consider something else, but if you just want a well-running system with minimal use of the command line, Bazzite is an amazing option. I’ve been using it since August last year, and have only had to use the command line once in that time. Which isn’t a problem for me, but it may be a bit daunting for others (and that is totally fine!).
