I once had a girl in a bar tell me (after some flirting and kissing) that she was wearing white panties with pink hearts, to which I responded “That’s nice”.

He doesn’t get the power to shut down the internet. The internet is shut down wether he likes it or not. And this guy might post that he would love it, but let’s be honest, he craves the attention.

Big difference; the internet would be shut down for them too.

You can even vary within a dimension depending on the topic, for instance globalist on environmental topics but otherwise nationalist.

I’m Dutch, so we are tough about the Dutch golden age, which spans about the seventeenth century. Trade science and art were at a high point back then, but looking deeper it turns out the life expectancy for common people was lower than in the surrounding countries. The wealth was all concentrated in the Holland province(s), which explains why the Netherlands is commonly referred as Holland in other countries. Another thing was the schism between catholics and Calvinists, which meant Catholic cities didn’t benefit at all from the golden age. It also wasn’t benificial to the 1.7 million people who were enslaved by the Dutch.

So all in all, the Dutch golden age was very much golden for the merchants and aristocrats of cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Leiden or Haarlem, and for the protestant ministers. For the rest, of you didn’t live near these cities you probably were dirt poor.

Fender stratocasters are higly over rated guitars, the only value is in the “vintage” category.

Good luck seeing the game then. “No return ticket? That’s suspicious, you won’t be allowed to enter.”

Isn’t this just what AI is the greatest tool of all time for? At least, so I’m told by the AIvangelists.

Billionaires can only exist in a large group of people. I think if a chimpansee (or any other ape) would decide to hoard all the resources of his group for himself, the rest would gang up on him and beat him to either submission or death.

I went to trade school in the late eighties/ early nineties to become a plumber. When I finished school in 91 there were no jobs for plumbers, so I did extra schooling to be an electrician. Still could’t find a non temp job, so in 96 it was working in a chemical plant as an operator, and studying to eventually get a degree in chemical engineering.

All this just to say that the job market can’t be predicted. Working in the trades is great, if the jobs are available. Unfortunately, they usually are among the first jobs to disappear when the job market goes a bit slower.

I’d advise chemical engineering, guess what degree I got. But besides my bias, CE is a very broad education subject, so no deep dive into math beyond calculus. Also, like another poster pointed out, lots of people end up working in a different field, so the broad education helps there too.

I’d love to, but realistically there’s no way I’ll still be around by then.

It can be super critical, that’s for sure!

Poop is one of those rare things that can be a solid, a liquid and a gas at room temperature.

A nice Schnitzel with baked potatoes.

I rarely work on Fridays, so not busy at all!

Or the Irish in the Uk, or whoever in whichever country. For me, my family (wife and kids) come first, then my neighbourhood, my village, my minucipality, my country and so on. It’s the same for everyone, which is fine as long as you acknowledge it and act accordingly.

This depends on where you live. In my country Employers will only (sometimes, not always) call previous companies if you specifically list them as references.

The same for airports.

Got it, don’t make altering the weather the main purpose.
