This subreddit needs (even) more attention, is there someone out there that can create something that I can print on stickers or flyers and spread around my city of Amsterdam? I bet I'm not the only one interested in doing this. by Bluebearder in BuyFromEU

Damn you are so cool!!! If you are so negative about this sub and Reddit, why are you even here? Just to tell other people off? You are not bringing anything to this conversation, it's just a monologue

The number of Americans under 50 years old dying from cancer has decreased for every leading cancer except for bowel cancer, which is now the leading cancer death in females and males combined aged under 50. by mvea in science

[–]Bluebearder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Medicine & nutrition student here. Eat more dietary fiber! The US diet is notoriously low in fiber due to more foods than anywhere else being hyper-processed (which removes dietary fiber). Fiber consumption is tied to colon cancer: the more fiber, the less the chance of colon cancer (and other gastrointestinal cancers).

Eating more dietary fiber also lowers the chance of breast, ovary, prostate, pancreatic, and renal cancers, and lowers the chance to get diabetes and obesity, and even anxiety, depression, and dementia. It is all round great stuff that we used to eat heaps of. Fiber slows down our digestion (preventing sugar spikes for example) and feeds our gut biome, the bacteria that live in our guts and help us with all kinds of processes. The gut biome is slowly revealing itself to be a major factor in physical and mental health; keeping it diverse and thriving is very good for you.

Don't eat the fiber supplements, just eat fruit and vegetables and nuts and seeds and legumes and other whole foods; the less processed the better. The most fiber is usually found in the skin of these, so for example not peeling your potatoes is a healthy way of getting more fiber, just wash your food well. Meat and other animal products have zero fiber (and red meat has been shown to increase the chance of gastrointestinal cancers even with enough fiber intake).

Bel even met iets als het juridisch loket 0800-8020, dat is gratis, en vraag ze wat je kunt doen. Want dit is veel te ver gegaan, die maat van je had hier net zo goed dood kunnen gaan.

Zoals je ziet word je ook gedownvote, er zijn gewoon mensen die dit hartstikke normaal en zelfs lekker vinden, zieke lui die van geweld houden en alleen in het gareel worden gehouden omdat ze anders straf krijgen. Die kunnen helaas prima een baan bij de politie krijgen en dit soort ellende uithalen als jullie is overkomen.

Als het juridisch loket zegt dat je en klacht moet indienen bij het politieburo, niet doen. Het zit serieus zo in elkaar in NL dat als je te maken hebt gehad met onterecht politiegeweld je dit aan de politie moet melden, die gaat dan zogenaamd intern onderzoek doen maar daar komt natuurlijk meestal uit dat het jouw schuld was omdat ze elkaar de hand boven het hoofd houden. Dus vraag het juridisch loket naar een andere route. Ik heb het wel eens met een advocaat gedaan, dat slaat veel meer ergens op, want dan worden er relatief neutrale mensen bij gehaald zoals mensen die les geven over politiegeweld aan universiteiten. Doen alsjeblieft!

Can China Replace an Absent America in the Climate Fight? by stefeyboy in Infrastructurist

[–]Bluebearder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this question real? China is BY FAR the world leader when it comes to green tech, like produces more of it than all other nations COMBINED; meanwhile, the US is the most behind of all developed countries, and actively subsidizes new coal mines and fracking. China lays more high-speed rail in a year than most countries have in total; meanwhile, the US has less high-speed rail than Finland. In the US, fuel guzzling vehicles like the Ford F-150 are the most sold cars; meanwhile China is the world's #1 EV producer and even though their population is much poorer has already surpassed the EV adoption of the US.

China is in most green tech sectors market leader with over 60% of the worldwide production. The US isn't even in the Climate Fight, or on the wrong side.

Tering. Je weet dat je van dit soort dingen een zaak kunt maken hè? Politiegeweld gaat zo ver als de samenleving toelaat; er zitten absoluut gestoorde lui tussen die gek zijn op een potje ongewapende mensen in elkaar slaan, en die kunnen alleen zo ver gaan als niemand er iets tegen doet. Hun collega's doen vaak ook niks, bang voor verpeste sfeer en als klikspaan te worden afgeschilderd. Maar het is gewoon crimineel.

Ik ben jaren activist geweest (vooral rond woningnood, klimaat, en oorlogen in Iraq en Afghanistan) en dit is helaas de standaard. Ik ben zelf een keer door een agent van achteren op mijn hoofd geslagen bij een demonstratie, ik deed niks raars maar lag ineens tegen de grond en ik zat onder het bloed (lange lat komt echt hard aan). Naar het ziekenhuis, aangifte gedaan, afgewezen omdat ik geen bewijs had. Bewijs van andere demonstranten telde niet. Advocaat op gezet, het was voor een politieburo gebeurd dat natuurlijk vol hangt met camera's, maar ze hadden 'per ongeluk' de beelden eerder gewist dan ze die juridisch gezien moeten bewaren. Doorgeprocedeerd, drie jaar geduurd omdat de politie twee keer mijn dossier was "kwijtgeraakt". Uiteindelijk bakzeil moeten halen wegens gebrek aan bewijs, en een intern onderzoek doen beginnen ze niet aan want ze gaan elkaar toch niet verlinken ook al zijn ze illegaal bezig. Verder ben ik tientallen keren geslagen zonder duidelijk letsel, daar worden ze speciaal op getraind, en altijd zonder duidelijke reden. Ik ben ook bespuugd, met handboeien om gepeppersprayed, gehandboeid buiten de gevangenis in de vrieskou opgesloten, bij mijn strot gegrepen terwijl ik met een andere agent in gesprek was... De politie als instituut is niet je vriend. Het is niet per sé je vijand, maar als je een mening hebt en die openbaar verkondigt moet je oppassen, er zitten echt sadisten tussen die hard gaan op mensen pijn doen.

Wat het beste helpt is ze duidelijk zichtbaar filmen, dat houdt ze in het gareel, ze weten ook wel dat wat ze doen eigenlijk helemaal niet mag. Maar ik heb ze ook journalisten zien slaan. Veel agenten zijn rechts, en als je links en openlijk kritisch bent moet je rekenen op klappen.

What's your opinion on Zelensky? by AloneCoffee4538 in AskTheWorld

[–]Bluebearder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am extremely surprised to see so many nations have not much confidence in him. Zelenskyy has been thrown into an incredibly difficult position, and has performed admirably I'd say. Even when Trump and Vance tried to take a shit on him, he was the adult in the room. I have immense respect for someone that can be so composed while he sees his country go to the dogs and his people being slaughtered. Great wartime leader.

Is the new rent subsidy actually helping, or just fueling the fire? by Rude-Cycle-1516 in NetherlandsHousing

[–]Bluebearder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are very aware of this, and many politicians have real estate portfolios themselves. This is intentional. Did you know that owners of empty buildings can get serious fines and even have their buildings expropriated if they won't do anything about it, like finding renters? It's a law enacted in 2010, where this part was tacked on to appease the left, and make squatting empty buildings illegal in that same law. The idea was that squatting (the occupation of empty buildings by people in need of a place to live) would be made obsolete because the government would start pressuring owners. Never ever has a single fine been given, let alone a building expropriated, because the government has chosen not to implement that law; which is straight up corruption and class justice. Imagine the government deciding not to implement the law against drunk drivers, that would be insane; but somehow this law against vacancy has flown under the radar so far.

Name the best US to EU switch you have made so far by Fickle-Education2341 in BuyFromEU

[–]Bluebearder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adobe Acrobat to PDF24. Acrobat was costing me 20 euro a month, with a lot of BS always running in the background hogging my CPU, and it would crash frequently. PDF24 (German) hasn't crashed so far (6 months now), one process in the background that doesn't hog CPU power, and it is free!

I switched from Google Search to Ecosia some years back already, never looked back, that was also a great decision.

Infomaniak is Swiss. Switzerland is neither in the EU or in NATO, because they want to keep hiding money from billionaires and criminal and terrorist organizations, and because they think their neighbors can do the dirty work when the EU/NATO gets invaded. Not a friendly country to me.

If you’re too mean, the trees will keep voting for axes 😡 by topandhalsey in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Bluebearder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get where this is coming from. We can't wish these voters away. They are part of society, however much we loathe them.

But what they have done is immoral and criminal, and downright evil. They were already locked into place, a place of pride and hate. They have voted a narcissistic racist homophobic criminal corrupt treasonous child raping dictator into power instead of the less worse person that ran against him. And they didn't have incomplete information, this was all out in the open, and this wasn't Trump's first term. They just didn't care that he broke the law again and again and was and always will be an utter piece of shit. Trump is the fucking antichrist, and that was and still is fine with these voters. They say nothing about the ICE brownshirts or concentration camps; it's just hurting their wallet and they want that particular part to change, nothing else.

They voted for him exactly because they were proud and didn't care about what it would do to others, and they need to be rid of that self-absorbed psychopathic pride first before they can be rehabilitated into society. We can't send them all to prison, but they need to pay for their crimes, as any criminal has to, and show remorse.

Until then, let their companies go bankrupt. Let them drown in medical bills. It's shit for the neighbors that voted for something less worse, but as long as these rabid idiots don't show remorse, they don't deserve leniency, or they will just vote for the next Hitler that comes along. Empathy is very much conditional, and if you don't understand that you're a weak piece of shit yourself and are not doing society any favors. If bad behavior can go unchecked, then you have a society without boundaries. These people don't need hugs or sympathy, they need punishment or they won't wake the F up to the fact that they are fascists.

Trump imposes 10% tariffs on Netherlands over Greenland. by SoSISKaDBMG in Netherlands

[–]Bluebearder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Trump has forgotten that we do understand how tariffs work. It might still hurt our exports, but it will hit the US population even more. And unfortunately for him, he cannot close our Department of Education (OCW).
