- Comment on Dinner is ready! 2 weeks ago:
This can’t really be answered in a simple way. Like a lot of “traditional” European dishes use potatoes. But at some point they where not native to Europe. So does that count? Or something like New York style pizza, is that American? Because in that case the Netherlands for example has a lot of Indonesian dishes that are more variations on traditional Indonesian food (made by immigrants using more local ingredients).
I think food is the best example why immigration and mixing of cultures can really improve humanity.

What? I’m not sure how it is in the US but in many countries zoomers (men) are very right wing. These are the guys that watch rogan and Andrew Tate.

- Comment on AI Startup Flock Thinks It Can Eliminate All Crime In America 3 weeks ago:
Yeah this is where the EU has a problem, because our intelligence agencies don’t really have great alternatives. For police we can probably just go without palantir
- Comment on AI Startup Flock Thinks It Can Eliminate All Crime In America 3 weeks ago:
Yeah we (Europeans) should also constantly keep fighting for our privacy and freedom. Thanks for sharing the link I’m glad the Netherlands is against it.
- Comment on AI Startup Flock Thinks It Can Eliminate All Crime In America 3 weeks ago:
Americans when you talk about gun control: NOOO mah freedom, I need it to protect myself from the government.
Americans when you tell them a private company is going to monitor and track every citizen, basically making a dystopian police state: I have nothing to hide so it’s fine.
I feel Europe is basically the other way around, less guns, but more privacy.

My 5 year old wrote a backwards F as his signature for his passport. I really hope they will let him pick whatever he wants when he gets a new one in 5 years
- Comment on The Job Market Is HellYoung people are using ChatGPT to write their applications; HR is using AI to read them; no one is getting hired. 3 weeks ago:
Do people really write applications? I don’t know if it is different in my country or for my sector, but it has always been “here is my resume, I want the job”.

My kid doesn’t speak English, he is 5 (and Dutch), one day in the car I was playing “Pennywise - Fuck authority”. He said that the man said fuck. Even if you’re 5 and don’t speak English you understand that the word fuck is a swearword.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 5 weeks ago:
I never had a blackberry, but my HTC Desire Z was peak typing. You slide the keyboard out and have a full keyboard. I typed very fast on that thing, every phone I got after that sucked at typing.
- Comment on Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told 1 month ago:
Let me give you one, kids try to explore topics out of curiosity. They are probably not going to look up someone torturing animals, because they don’t want to see that. Kids usually look up and explore things they are ready for. Also “kids” is a pretty diverse group, a 5 year old and a 15 year old kid are very different.
For real young kids parents should monitor online behavior anyway. For teens, how is life this different than looking at a playboy or a porn tape. Teens have been doing that forever, the people creating these laws probably did that when they where kids.
It’s probably a lot better to let kids (teens) explore nudity and sex in a safe environment, instead of letting them go unsupervised in places that ignore the law.
It’s basically the same argument with drugs, offering legal options vs. going to a dealer and possibly getting much more dangerous drugs mixed in.
- Comment on Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told 1 month ago:
So they have more time to watch people shooting each other.
- Comment on monthly challenge 1 month ago:
Mentally healthy? Since we have 2 kids I rarely sleep 8 hours, 6 is the new norm, and it’s definitely not helping mentally. I still try to get 8K steps daily, doing 500 or less would make me even more miserable.
- Comment on MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing 1 month ago:
When Trump got elected I sold some of my stocks. My investments are also my retirement funds, so I don’t need them for a while. I’m waiting until the next crash starts, or something else that’s pretty bad (war, rogue AI, whatever). If the market crashes I can immediately step in.
- Comment on MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing 1 month ago:
I once had stocks in Shell, mainly because it’s a Dutch company (I’m Dutch) and its a pretty stable investment. But it felt very wrong to invest in oil. So after a few months I sold them (thankfully with a little profit).
Personally I just don’t want to invest in anything I think fucks up the world. It’s also why I don’t want to invest in meta and some other tech companies.
- Comment on ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity 1 month ago:
It is also the equivalent of letting a LED light bulb run for an entire day (depending on bright it is, some LED bulbs use under 2 watts of power).

My kid is almost 6 so he doesn’t really know modern games. For now he is totally into lemmings and the incredible machine 2. It’s fun because I played those games a lot and can easily help him when he is stuck.

No, no, no, this is all wrong. When we discuss immigration and the current situation in the US all Americans are European immigrants.
When we talk about the genocide of the natives Americans, it was done by Americans, Europeans had nothing to do with it.

That a porn ban does not work and people will find a way around it.
When I was a kid there weren’t all this free porn sites and most of them were paid.
So you would go to some shady site where people shared passwords. This might make a comeback
