Buy one already! I wanna see what they come up with next.

Do we have taco bell? I’ve never seen one.

Valve index vr set. It’s incredible how into a game you can het. First time I played half life alyx for 3 hours straight I had to touch a wall after stopping playing because I simply got so into tje game my brain didn’t know what reality was anymore.

Being creepy to women. Or worse than creepy

Oh right you drive 100 there, forgot about that. That makes it even more insane!

Dutch? I’m guessing because the speed limit. That’s insane though, 170 is flat out in most cars.

Same exact experience. Dutch literature is horrid. It’s a lot of sad depression and drugs. There’s a reason almost everyone read “het diner” or “het gouden ei” since those are doable. There seriously isn’t anything exciting like a detective or the stuff you mentioned. Not even a 1984, which is a depressing book but at least there’s some excitement. It really seems most Dutch literature is just pages of misery and nothing happening.

For English literature I read the lord of the rings. Way more pages, much more fun.

What’s up with cats sometimes taking a long time to think about a jump and then just completely fails anyway by making the tiniest jump?

Also catnip is like a drug for some cats right? Why does nobody find it weird people are getting their pets high?

Yes! Scientists trained dogs to stay still in an mri and showed them pictures of the dog’s owners. The areas that correspond with human joy areas lit up! Same when they smell something from their owners.

Honestly I agree. And I don’t consider them degrading if the purpose is to save your life. I find it humbling (maybe nowthe right word) that the plan is to have multiple people work together just to make sure you don’t get left behind. But in an emergency you do need multiple people’s help which is why I find them so optimistic.

I’m also happy I don’t have to use them or practice with them. It doesn’t seem very comfortable and honestly a bit scary.

My university had those bags. I found them… Optimistic

My university used to have a bag thing that was made to slide people down the stairs.

They repeatedly asked me if it would require it in case of emergency but since arthritis makes walking painful but not impossible, especially when adrenaline kicks in and my choices are pain or a fiery death, I never had to practice with the thing.

My high-school was build against a hill luckily but since some of the evacuation included leaving through the windows if the hallway is on fire I’m assuming the idea was to lift disabled people through it.

More positivity. Or more positivity upvoated maybe. Basically it seems like complaining and negative posts get way more attention than positive ones.

For example I keep seeing a lot of posts from the Linux community that aren’t about cool Linux things but about how bad Microsoft/Windows is. Note that I don’t follow said community so I only see the stuff that reaches the frontpage.

More posts and communities about just genuinely cool stuff would make lemmy a lot more fun to browse.

You wanna know the funniest thing about this? I’m also Dutch

You know what’s even worse? He’s wrong. It doesn’t mean house master it means court master. It’s what you call a chamberlain for a royal court or other nobility.

It wasn’t a slave thing, it was usually considered a position of honour.

I had the same problem with the 2018 tomb raider. Lara Crofts dad spends years surviving in a cave on an island and has perfect fucking teeth.

The Dutch police have their ups and downs but nothing heinous like in the post has happened so far. The Dutch law also states that the police is not allowed to use more violence than absolutely necessary. Which is obviously difficult but seems reasonably well followed.

That doesn’t mean protests are not broken up, but there has to be a reason why. Recent pro Palestine protests at Universities are broken up because, well, they were making it (partially) impossible to to attend said universities. Same with extinction rebellion protesting on a busy highway.

The Dutch police definitely has their problems with racial profiling and stuff though.

I could definitely be wrong, please correct me if I am.

Alive by Pearl Jam is about a guy who’s dad ended up not being his dad because his real dad died. The guy looks a lot like his dad and his mom misses his dad so the mom tries to have sex with the guy.

Most people just hear the “I’m still alive” and think it’s a victorious song. But the I’m still alive part is meant as a sad statement.

I had a taxi driver once who’s last name was snel. Which is Dutch for fast or quick or speed.
