10·4 days agoPublisher’s reaction looks like corporate bullshit to me to be honest.
Like Bob from the Bobiverse.
They’re gettinh their salad tossed from the looks of it.
It’s actually based on the novel by Asimov and Robert Silverberg, which is based on the short story. I don’t remember seeing the movie, definitely read the book and short story.
I had to look it up, but the “dwangwet” is a name the right gave to the “spreidingswet”, a law meant to force municipalities to provide shelter to asylum seekers. It’s far right framing, they wanted to (and succeeded) block this law from passing. Goal of the block is according to them something aking to “muh freedoms”, if you ask me it was meant to force problems with said asylum seekers. These problems didn’t materialize, with the ultimate effect of Geert Wilders’ PVV party leaving the coalition.
This is a very condensed version of two years of political scheming, so there’s a lot more to be said than this.
Mbt = “met betrekking tot”, basically means regarding. Dwangwet translates to Zwangsgesetz in German.

I agree with you, but I’m afraid some people don’t care if everybody loses, including themselves, as long as no one has it better than them.
That makes sense, thanks for clarification.
I’m pretty much the same, but for the games of chance; As long as the prize isn’t monetary, I tend to do really good. Coin flip because two people asked the day off and only one can take it? Sorry for the other guy.
Another thing that I’m really good at is pushing a button. If for some reason something doesn’t work after pushing a button (either computers or machinery), just complain to me it isn’t working. I’ll ask if I can try, and somehow it always works. Actually a very usefull skill when I worked as an operator in various chemical plants. Coworkers had mixed feelings about it tough.
There are people who are always lucky, and those who are unlucky. The lucky ones tend to win more coin flips, have less accidents, and if they fail it will be upwards.
it might sound preachy to those who are ignorant
Am I reading it wrong, or are you saying that people who have a different point of view are ignorant?
Depends on the kind of stupid. I’ve met the kind of stupid who inspired the likes of Dunning and Kruger, and those people are dangerous. I’ve also met the kind who very well what their own capabilities were, and they could do better than some of the people that were considered “smarter”.
Current research states Neanderthals were generally as smart as us.
1·23 days agoHow would you measure the time it takes to wake up without somehow monitoring brain activity externally? I mean, you start sleeping, so at best a dodgy perception of time, and at some point in time you’re awake. For me it would be impossible to tell the time it takes, might be a second, might be an hour.
Did you write this post deliberately to trigger us? Some examples; The phone died when it should have 7% left, spilling soup at a store, smelly euro village and of course the main question.
Maybe search the lock picking lawyer’s channel on youtube for the make and model.
I’d guess it’s more that on onlyfans you can convince yourself that you’re getting personal attention from the artist. It’s a combination of creepiness with maybe a bit of loneliness.
