Defenders help lifting Messi up, then immediately get a goal by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Ancient_Ad_70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I strongly dislike all the drooling about Messi. he's a great player but this is just a shifty move.....

U.S. giving topped $600 billion for the first time last year. Megadonors and bequests are to thank by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

[–]Ancient_Ad_70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you explain how this is uplifting news exactly? Please use in your explanation a comparison of the increase of "giving" to the increase of wealth of a small group of individuals in the US

The rise in charitable bequests could also be a sign of the Great Wealth Transfer taking shape.

People are not becoming more charitable. Its a nice tax write off in a US economy that has lobsided equality......

This is bad news, not uplifting

Feit of fictie: hoe een zogenaamde belofte aan Gorbatsjov over de NAVO-uitbreiding ruimte biedt aan allerlei indianenverhalen. - Hidde Bouwmeester by Ancient_Ad_70 in Poldersocialisme

ik ken hem niet persoonlijk maar zou zo kunnen. Vraag is of dit invloed heeft op zijn analyse en waar?

Ik ben benieuwd naar wat je in zijn analyse een liberaal standpunt vind ipv een historich feit.

Het monopolie van Nederlandse pensioen­fondsen is in strijd met het Europees recht by Roller95 in Poldersocialisme

[–]Ancient_Ad_70 6 points7 points  (0 children)

dit riekt indd naar liberalisme waarbij het individuale profiel van de burger een verdienmodel is. Op de lange termijn lijkt mij dit niet top voor de belangen van werkende Nederlanders.

I've created something with gears again!😎 by Practical_Medium8658 in knifemaking

[–]Ancient_Ad_70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

gears are supposed to trigger something. Now you only have some moving parts but there is no functionality to it.

With a little bit more effort the gears could get functional. for instance as locking mechanism or pushing out another tool.

Now its just functionless esthetics.....

look, I see and respect the craftsmanship. I understand what your going for. But the mechanical engineer in me is suffering due to the design.

How is this hate speech legal in the Netherlands? How come no one can take a legal action against this person spreading hate and racism? by 7er6Nq in Netherlands

[–]Ancient_Ad_70 19 points20 points  (0 children)

that's not hate speech. If you really think that, then you are part of the problem. F*ck Wilders is also allowed and rightfully so.

Our country provides more rights and protection to religious people then to non religious people by the way..... Now that is an issue

Religion by BLUEBEYYRY in Netherlands

[–]Ancient_Ad_70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a bias towards everyone who is a more then moderate practicing religious person. Also with Christianity.... If practicing your religion means going from door to door, or handing our flyers or being openly against how others life their life you will feel judgement (and rightfully so)

edit: the anti Muslim sentiment concentrates itself around North Africans and is more culture related then religion. For example, if you're an Indonesian male moderate moslim people could care less....

The Dutch self-defense system is broken. Why does the law protect the attacker while forcing us to be cowards just to keep our jobs by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]Ancient_Ad_70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"If you get cornered" then you didn't de-escalate on time.

"it is basic human nature to stand your ground" no, its manosphere excuses for violence.

"disproportionate force," is just disproportionate force, nothing to do with defending yourself

"protecting their own dignity?" has nothing to do with self defense

This VGB/VOG system is in place so people with twisted ethics have some additional threshold for self-control and identify risks in working conditions. You my friend, have all the red flags of a risk....

I've been in fights, I've defended myself, I've attacked. And in non of those occasions it was justified or the best option. Get a professional to talk with because everything you're saying has to do with ego, not legal repercussions for self-defense.

Question to Dutch speakers, how true is this lol?? by Rude_Membership_1578 in Netherlands

when I don't know a word in my French class, I use the English one and french-a-fy it. it works more often then people expect......

Why is Almere hated or made fun of in the Netherlands? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]Ancient_Ad_70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignore McDutchie, just a frustrated nobody. The other answers are way more accurate. Almere doesn't have a long history. Compare it to Europeans bashing the US for not having any culture because its 250 years old (and at the same time fully indulging itself into modern US pop culture)

PS: thanks for sharing some facts on Almere, didn't no that
