Thanks, it’s kind of weird how much change this made in a few months. It also really changed my relationship with my parents and made it less superficial. Can highly recommend to dig in your own past a bit and see what you pushed way down, and actually deal with it.

Exactly this is why I get all my news from Facebook and X - my uncle

Also it’s not manly to share your life with a friend apparently.

I’m 40+ and a couple of months ago started therapy. I didn’t even knew I needed therapy, went with my wife for couple therapy and it quickly turned into personal therapy.

What I learned after some tests is that I fall into the top 4% of men who are emotional closed off. This is pretty extreme, but maybe the worst part is, I never even knew. This is the stereotype we teach boys, men don’t have emotions, they don’t talk about emotions, etc.

I also think this is a cultural difference. The comic book obsession seems more like an american thing. In the Netherlands and Belgium there is also a big comic book appreciation, but it’s much less about heroism and more humorous.

I was recently thinking it’s says a lot about a culture, where kids shoot up schools regularly, but immigrants getting a terrible treatment never seem to shoot up an ICE office or other government building.

Even with millennials (1981 to 1996) there is a big difference when you where born.

If you are an early millennial you grew up with MS-DOS, so you had to learn the terminal to get anything done. You probably had your first smartphone after you where 25.

If you are a late millennial you grew up with Windows XP and probably had a smartphone as a teen.

Or they are all just very incompetent, leaking classified information should have serious consequenses.

My supermarket sells these and they are superior to all other frozen pizzas I had.

My goto frozen pizza “hack”, just get the cheapest most basic pizza margherita, skip known brands and go for the housebrand/offbrand.

Buy some quality toppings and add them, like a spicey salami, aged cheese, etc.

Hijacking your commet to add this

I don’t know much about this stuff, but I have been listening to a ton of podcasts about the war, geopoliticks etc.

From what I learned, France and the UK have nukes, but not the type you can launch from a submarine. (Unfortunately)

In these crazy times we need to stick together and make sure they can’t break us. 🇳🇱

It’s the same with other EU countries, NATO article 5 has been triggered once, after 911. We came to help and lost many soldiers in Afghanistan etc. Now Russia is a major thread to Europe and the US is actively helping Russia.

Tesla probably pays a lot more for insurance these days. Insurance companies are pretty evil, that works against Tesla in this case.

I’m getting pretty old so I have experienced multiple waterfall projects. The comic should be

You want to go to mars You spend 3 months designing a rocket You spend 6 months building a rocket You spend a month testing the rocket and notice there is a critical desing flaw.

You start over again with a new design and work on it for 2 months You spend another 6 months building it You spend 2 months testing

Rocket works fine now, but multiple other companies already have been to Mars, so no need to even go anymore.

Hungary is definitely not going to be part of NATO2

To add to this, Putin can recruit from the poorest regions for a while, but at some point he needs to get men from the larger cities. The last thing he wants is protests from Moskou etc. The average person from Moskou hadn’t had that much negative effects from the war yet. But if you, your son or father is forced to the battlefield it’s a different story.

I honestly hope this will result is a strong alliance between the EU and Canada and if possible other countries. It’s kind of our own fault for relying on the US for too long, we need to make sure we can protect ourselves without the US.

That is actually not relevant, it’s whataboutism. The fact that someone does something bad doesn’t give you any right to just make your own rules.

Otherwise you could also say I should kill that friend that drove home after one beer too many, because he could have potentially killed someone.

Because unfortunately too many people vote for politicians that allow companies to do this. It’s a shame someone like Bernie Sanders never became the president.

Yes because killing people is wrong.

Look the CEO probably deserved to get shot, but a society can’t function without some basic rules, like killing is bad.
