Sinkin’ Park

My house costs less than that and now I’m in debt for the next 30 years. And I do quite okay.

I don’t know what the current opinion of Telegram is but I use it all the time with my wife when we play Sea of Thieves.

Ah well my house is not that big. It’s my wife and me and three cats but we have rather large furniture so it kinda feels cramped.

Definitely house, preferably owned. I rented my previous apartment and had to run a lot of jobs through the landlord. Now, if something goes wrong or if I want to hang something with screws, I can just go ahead. And I love having a back yard. Front yard meh, just work, no joy.

Downside is that my house is not exactly well maintained and it was built in the sixties. So I’ll need to invest in some stuff in the next 5 to 10 years.

I think you’re asking what it costs?

I pay 52,50 a month for 1Gbps fiber and like 12 for 10GB 5G.

I’m from the Netherlands, we were just ahead of the US elections. I know the hardcore Trumpers will never be convinced by any amount of solid proof that they are wrong but we somehow elected a populist blowhard and after a very difficult formation (it’s what happens when you need to form a coalition to form a cabinet usually necessary if you have more than two parties) we got a state government of people so incompetent, I wouldn’t let them preside over a local gardening club.

I was kind of intrigued when they picked a former director of the Dutch intelligence agency to be prime minister but that dude just screams ‘I don’t belong here and I disagree with everything my cabinet does’.

Now, they haven’t fundamentally screwed the pooch on anything that the Netherlands has built over the last three decades, but there are definitely plans to make our country less of a refuge for people in need of help in spite of folks who take advantage of a too friendly system.

The (western, I can’t speak to a world I’m no active part of) world is changing. It’s becoming tougher, and that essentially means that if you have either money, power or both you’ll be fine. If you don’t, well… dark days are ahead.

The only thing necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing. Any time you feel you are witnessing an injustice, think to yourself, what would good men (I’m obviously saying ‘men’ to mean ‘humans’) be doing to make evil not succeed?

I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

Correlation map with AfD votes next?

Have you ever cheated at a game, cut corners on work or purposefully did something unfair to get better from it yourself?

Yeah it’s much easier to win without any pesky ethics or a strong moral compass.

Good folks have been struggling uphill since the Ancient Greeks as long as there are folks trying to win with a different rule book.

I understand the why of this but this is not an improvement. I suppose search engines should ask you which maps provider you want and then show results based on that.
