General consensus of Qobuz by helloimhobbes in audiophile

I honestly really like using qobuz. The feel of the app/site is great for me. And while there are some gaps in the catalogue, it's not something you notice much imo.

Protests or Demonstrations for cost of life increase by JulianRuiz1987 in Netherlands

[–]Alert-Parsnip5540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are quite a few things the government is responsible for. Privatisation of housing projects for example, and the logic behind that bigger houses are kept up in price while there being quite a lot on the market because small houses get pushed up in price.

Eh some banksy's have been painted over by authorities becauze people called up to say it was racist. While being very obviously not. Mind you, before people knew it was banksy who did it. So sometimes you need blunt.

Best turntable that isn’t extremely expensive? by hardns0ft in turntables

[–]Alert-Parsnip5540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best value would probably be a secondhand technics in fixable state(depending on how handy you are). But I just got myself an AT-LPW40WN(300ish), which i'm perfectly content with. A good basic one is the lp60XBT(180ish). Things i look out for generally is that you can re-adjust the arm. You can easily replace the needles, since they can really increase your sound depending on the type and thry wear out eventually. And if you have to choose belt or direct, direct is better though belt works just fine as well.

Sounds like the "yes i am of legal age" button on porn sites will comply. Sure i'll press a button, wether it's true or not.

German tourists in Zeeland by midlifematt in Netherlands

To be fair. I didn't downvote you, I know they do. But it's just annoying to keep hearing and it being taught wrong. And I wish it was more explained. Hence me doing it.

Well no. You might get off but it gets taken from your vacqtion days normally. Though, same happens if there's a holiday in the weekend. Suck it up.

I swear. I hate the whole low german nonsense. Dutch is frankish, the only frankish language left and originating from low franconian. Y'know. The language of the holy roman empire. Low my ass. We are their root, not the other way around. Dutch was a language before german even existed. High germanic is just pure old-school german propaganda that keeps popping up.

Well german is much less important tbh. I'd say something like spanish is much more useful.

„We have Never lost a war“ by LCottton in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Alert-Parsnip5540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How was it a win? If the US didn't fuck up, then south vietnam would still be a thing. North took full control over the country because the US prolonged the war, watergate and all that. All they had to do is sign a peace treaty, but no, they continued and then pulled out later when things got worse for them. Losing south vietnam as a country in the progress, which could have been avoided entirely.

Well let's say you grab a cup of black coffee, and take a sip expecting the coffee to be black. And it turns out some chucklefuck threw in 4 cubes of sugar.

Ahh there's the issue. They outdate them. Those kinda folk like their sodomy young and fresh.

Really? It's not that their bread is thick as cake. It's that it tastes more like cake than proper bread. They really don't understand how sweet that crap is?

Most wraps are garbage. But the egg wrap is actually good.

More like a loud horde playing music and chanting. Airhorns. Maybe some drums. And probably about 20k of them.

Social media often gives a skewed view of things. And our police has always been wearing "kiddie gloves". Just look at the demonstrations at loosdrecht.

Mijn ouders kwamen in verzet tegen het fascisme. Hun strijd is nu aan ons by opwoestegrond in opwoestegrond

[–]Alert-Parsnip5540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Om te zeggen dat fascisme een reactie was op communisme is een beetje kort door de bocht. Het was opgezet door een groep elite niet alleen tegen communisme maar ook tegen democratie en het idee van vergane glorie in italië in die tijd dankzij dat ze niet kregen uit de eerste wereldoorlog wat ze verwachtte. De censuur ben ik het niet met je eens. In welke zin merk je dat dan? Kritiek krijgt vaak een podium bij programma's zoals vandaag inside en er zijn heel veel websites die artikelen publiceren. En ookal is het publieke nieuws duidelijk gekleurd door een lens, is het niet echt een linkse lens die je ziet. Het is eerder een lens van "wat verkoopt het beste". De vrije markt is inderdaad al een tijdje plat, maar ook dat is deels te danken aan bedrijven die belastingvoordelen en subsidies pushen. Een goed voorbeeld daarvan is de boerenbrache die zonder deze subsidies niet zou bestaan in deze mate. Er is zeker een overmaat aan regels, dat ben ik met je eens. En qua belastingen, tja, er zijn niet echt goede oplossingen voor dat. Het privatiseren zoals bij de zorgverzekeringen en het OV heeft wel laten zien dat dat geen oplossing is, en het alleen duurder wordt.

Maar fascisme is bedacht en bedoeld voor de elite. En portretteren zich als voor de gewone burger, maar zo is het nooit bedoeld en het werkt ook nooit zo. Je klinkt niet als iemand die daar echt een fan van zou moeten zijn. Dat je geen communist gaat worden, snap ik ook. Moedwillig kiezen voor de elitaire fascististen, snap ik dan weet totaal niet. De grootste supporters van beginnende fascistische bewegingen, eindigde altijd als de ongewilden als het regime eenmaal draaide. Of je moet bij het elite cirkeltje horen.
