To clarify, the pompous part relates to “devote my energies to building up an audience”. But maybe it’s because I devote my energies to shitposting instead. On the other points I can get where you’re coming from.

I will never again devote my energies to building up an audience on a platform whose management can sever my relationship to that audience at will

I don’t know who this person is, but that seems a bit pompous.

This. Also, scratch that 2nd, these day the 4th generation is coming of age, and it’s getting boring to refer to them as anything other than Dutch. Sure, they may call themselves Moroccan or Turkish, but it’s the same as all the Irish people of Boston.

Trump seems to be senile already (the dancing town hall meeting comes to mind), so I think it’s more the question when Vance will take over, not if he will try.

Maybe we should be happy it doesn’t happen, breaking down all plastics which are currently everywhere would probably result in massive CO2 emissions. That’s why I’m always sceptical when these kind of articles appear; it gives some people an excuse to say the overuse of plastics isn’t an issue.

I can’t find it in the article, but I assume this is the same as all the other plastic eating organisms; They can eat plastic under specific circumstances, but would rather not. What is in the article; they can only survive on polystyrene if it is mixed with other food and nutrients.

Not where I live, we actually have a second christmas day on the 26th.

I got my first extra hour the day after I was born.

Edit: I was wrong, it turns out there was no DST in my country when I was born. So I definitely banked it.

I was thinking, I was in Berlin last week and didn’t see much trams, I’m not even sure I saw any tram. It turns out I only visited places bordering on the tram network.

Thank you!

To be honest, as a Dutchman I think our current right-wing government parties will decide that their dislikes for “the environment” outweigh any economical advantages.

“The environment” is in qoutes because they’ve separated the word from the meaning, to them the inveronment is an abstract thing that “left” people talk about. Also, not actual left, just all the people who don’t agree with them.

LOL. Also, it wouldn’t be my ass since I’m the donut stacker.

Calorie restriction is not the same as not eating.

Depends on the thickness of the donut and the butt cheeks. So probably less than one.

I’d rather not stop eating…

Depends on your definition, but most foods are healthier than not eating.

From what I gathered (years ago, so take it with a grain of salt), he couldn’t get funding because he hugely miscalculated the distance to India if you’d travel west, like more than half the the distance. Most sailors and scolars knew better, but somehow he got the funding from the Spanish queen.

The Dutch government is basically controlled by the PVV party, who’s founder and leader used to be a settler on the west bank. They run on a heavy anti Islam/ anti refugee platform. So basically, “Isreal good, brown people bad”.
