Like every other social awkward person?

I communicate way more face to face than in another way. So if I read communicating, I’m not thinking of calling, emailing, letterwriting or anything not face to face.

I guess the same way as with the Anna’s archive vs Spotify case in the US last week?

That NL, we also have quite a few banned domains here. Basically copyright organisations like Brein will sue everyone they can get away with. Unfortunately they have been succesfull on multiple occasions, mostly because the other party won’t show up in court and they win by default. Another thing they do is sue one of the large ISP’s for facilitating copyright infringement to get them to block sites like torrent sites. If the judge rules in their favor, then all Dutch ISP’s have to abide by the ruling.

I like that I can just block users or communities that I’m not interested in, and just browse all the rest. The amount of cross posting could be better, it’s not uncommon to see the same post five times in a row.

Disclaimer up front; I’m from Europe, so call me an arm chair specialist. Also, this is all hypothetical, in no way I want to promote violence.

Well, for most people it has to be on a weekend and not too far away, since they can’t afford to lose their job. (This is usually given as a reason to not go on general strike) Also, the right to bear arms is specifically meant for this scenario, but the people who currently exercise this right are usually the ones defending “the Epstein class”. (Great name BTW)

“One third couldn’t be bothered to vote”

Both, I installed a double shower.

Did you know that you can just put “college student” on your resume instead of “sex worker”?

I’ve read the “1/3 couldn’t be bothered” sentence about 10 times last week, from different posters. So, no change coming I guess, just vote “not Trump”?

If you were a man living in America, people would call you a closeted homosexual, not bisexual. So I think it’s a combination of double standards and gatekeeping. My advice would be to block the negative people so you’ll never interact with them again.

On a road trip once, our first born called me a stinking swine for humming that song. He had had it in head most of the previous day, and I planted it right back.

You’re one of those guys that goes “Say what you will about Trump, but he gets things done!” aren’t you?

That’s one way to look at it, I’d say they are pretty robust seeing how we abuse them, and how long they’ll last in conditions they didn’t evolve in.

My likely candidates: Fossil fuels. Rising CO2 levels can lead to brain fog, right now indoor CO2 levels due to bad ventilation already lead to imaired cognivity. With rising atmospheric CO2 levels this will become more common. Nano particles, different materials are being used today with dimensions similar to those of asbestos particles, and it turns out they have the same effect. It’s not the asbestos, it’s how the body handles these particles. Think of stuff like mineral wool, carbon nanotubes, silica. Sitting. More and more people are sitting down (inside, so they also lack vitamin D) for long parts of the day, and it leads to all kinds of medical problems.

I woke up in the hospital with an IV drip into my arm and an automatic BP cuff on my arm which blew up every fifteen minutes. Last thing I remembered was being at a party getting black out drunk.

Instead of the bleach.

Yes. It depends on the when and where.

On this day in 2016 I was doing some digging in the back yard, according to the photo’s from my old phone (which turns out to have been a Windows phone). Overall, I was working at a different job, and in my last year of college for my engineering degree. Kids were 5 and 8 then, me and my wife were 40. Good times I guess.

Now; different job, same wife and kids. No more digging because the garden is in maintenance only mode.

It’s probably hardly enforced or even brought to the attention of people.
