You break it, you buy it. Let’s move the Israeli officials to Gaza and let the Palestina citizens live in Jerusalem. ^/s

“I’m in a government that condones - if not encourages - businesses from rejecting customers based on their own ideology, but don’t do it to me!”

New speedrun just dropped:

Any% screwing up the inland economy

People might say “Those are not the same!” and that’s true - sport events are not a constitutional right.

Hehe, I grinnikked

Please tip your federatress

ABP is the pension fund for, among others, the Dutch government. I don’t think they’ll openly call Elon Hitler all that quick, just to keep up good relations.

A work of fiction isn’t historically accurate?

I’m shocked, absolutely shocked, I tell you!

I’ve had postmix based energy drink in the Netherlands, so that’s not true. Ingredients are not held to the same standards as premixed drinks.

To answer op’s question, I think it’s more of a supply/demand case, and a postmix doesn’t display the brand as well as a can of an energy drink does (which is also marketing).

The CEO made a remark about Trump, and used his corporate account for it.

If I recall correctly (no press statement was made by Proton), it was a personal remark on a corporate account, which he was quick to allow anyone to do. It also didn’t support Trump as a whole, just a remark Orangeman made about getting small business a level playing field (which I totally trust from an olicharch).

I’m still sticking with Proton for the foreseeable future, as its privacy awareness and advocacy is still a core business value.

Think of the Small Business is the corporate equivalent of the Think of the Kids fallacy

He’s a selfish sociopath

Sure, being a thief is bad, but one case of theft doesn’t instantly make him a CEO.

not a tech demo

Half Life 2 just casually lying there in the Tech Demo corner (especially the episodic content)

Yeah, I won’t buy another one again, but now that I have one, I don’t want to e-waste it just because the cable is too short.

Electric fire danger is really changing my opinion on this though.

For some magical reason, YouTube music has less AI music than Spotify.

The playlists are significantly worse, but I haven’t really heard any AI Christmas music that has infested Spotify.

It’s partly “in case we’re deciding to be idiots and go to active war zones” stuff, but I see those rich fucks using military level weapons against civilian drones because they can afford to act above the law.

In the Netherlands your pension fund is withheld from your wages (partially a mandatory government fund, partially a fund your employer might select).

My previous employer invested about 1% of my wages into the fund, which was quite shite. My current employer invests 10% and has a significantly better return.

Health insurance is a monthly cost you pay on your own (starting at around € 120 / mo). It’s a € ~350 yearly deductible and coverage is mostly decided by the government. Any additional coverage is your own choosing and comes at a premium.

As you can only switch contracts on a yearly basis, comparing health plans is effectively a Christmas tradition for all Dutch citizens.

Some company surely already done this.

Spez is one of these CEOs.

Can’t bake a ceasefire without breaking a few bullet casings.
