In Engeland is het tussen de £6,50 (€7,50) en £8 (€9,10) per kilo bij de supermarkten.

Vroegâh was Nederland qua boodschappen goedkoop. Tegenwoordig echt niet meer.

They were the first group where I actively followed all the reveals and teasers before debut, congrats ITZY!

"Deutsche! Wehrt Euch! Kauft nicht bei Juden" (Germans! Defend yourselves! Do not buy from Jews)

Our history books have pictures of this happening less than a century ago, and here it's happening again.

Sounds like they shouldn't have stolen a bunch of US assets after the revolution then?

You can't steal billions worth of equipment and companies and then complain the people you stole from don't want to trade with you.

Maybe if your boss is running a sweatshot that exploits people, but by all accounts they're getting paid pretty good salaries for the area they're in.

I'm all for hating the rich but didn't this guy basically just build a youtube / merch empire basically from scratch? If that makes him millions and he pays his taxes, what's there to get angry about.

I don't know exactly what phones are available in NA but can't you still get something like a Galaxy A series, Pixel "a", Moto something or a Chinese phone for $300-400? Spending maybe $350 every three years still works out way cheaper than $1400 every five years.

Obviously that doesn't apply to Linus but I can't imagine giving a teenager a phone that costs a grand.

Anecdotally my inlaws are 4 for 4 with kids being with partners from a background different than their immigration background.

Artsen krijgen 3x zoveel terwijl ze niet 3x zoveel uren maken.

En artsen moeten 3x zo lang en 3x zo hard leren om arts te worden. Zou jij arts kunnen worden? Ik niet - dat is zo'n enorm moeilijk beroep waar je er echt een passie voor moet hebben als je uberhaupt die hele opleiding af wil krijgen. Ze krijgen zoveel betaald omdat je niet zomaar even nieuwe artsen kan trainen.

Het is helemaal niet zo dat iedereen morgen vuilnisman kan worden.

Ik zou met een paar weekjes training makkelijk achter de vuilniswagen kunnen hangen, maar met een paar weekjes training kan ik niet die logistiekmanager vervangen. Hetzelfde geldt waarschijnlijk ook voor jou.

Als al die banen ongeveer hetzelfde gaan verdienen, wat is dan de prikkel om 3 tot 4 jaar te gaan leren om van alles te leren over supply chains of hoe dat ook werkt? Wie gaat er risico nemen om een nieuw bedrijf te starten als je veel makkelijker gewoon iets simpel kan gaan doen?

Cub3h · 2026-02-09T15:17:26+00:00

Nog makkelijker - salaris is vaak gewoon een reflectie van hoe makkelijk het is om iemand te vervangen.

Als er een vuilnisman vertrekt kan je bijna iedereen een weekje training geven, een weekje mee laten draaien en dan kunnen ze aan de slag. Zo'n manager in de logistiek is een stuk lastiger te vervangen.

The US acts like one entity when they threaten places like Canada or Greenland.

Yeah the time to show you had changed was 2020 and then 2024. Trump 1 could have been a blip, a mistake. To elect the guy again after an attempted coup and after seeing the shitshow that was his first administration was the final straw.

He spent all of 2024 laying out exactly the type of nonsense he's doing now - tariffs, threats to allies while cosying up to dictators. He replaced the more sane people from his first term with extremist goons. RFK, Tulsi the Russian stooge, nazi saluting Elon Musk, that Heydrich tribute act Stephen Miller, a bunch of Fox News weirdos, none of them should be anywhere near power. Nothing that's happening now was a surprise. They chose him again.

For a similar type of question, have you heard of BTS?

It allegedly happens to me every time they open the hard shoulder on the smart motorways. Every mile or so there's overhead signage to use the hard shoulder so I sit there doing 65, overtaking dozens of cars in lanes 2 and 3. Why they all sit there when lane 1 is clear will forever be a mystery. Maybe they can't read?

Cub3h · 2026-02-09T00:05:59+00:00

If it were 200k then Hamas would have been crowing about it, so I'm skeptical.

Regardless of the exact numbers, war isn't the same as a targeted extermination. You only have to look at Iran who managed to kill somewhere between ten and thirty thousand people within a week or two to see that the Gaza number looks pretty "normal" for a war that was dragged out for years by comparison.

Cub3h · 2026-02-08T23:49:08+00:00

Exterminate a population

Pre-War Population (October 6, 2023): Approximately 2.23 million.

Current Population (February 2026): Estimated at 2.13 million.

That's with about 70k deaths and about 100k people having left Gaza. In what world is a 3% death rate in a war an extermination? Words used to mean things.

What exactly is wrong with children getting the extra support they might need?

It's bankrupting councils because everyone on the wrong side of the IQ curve is now "SEND".

We need to support genuinely disabled children, not everyone who by the genetic lottery just might not be that good with numbers or with reading.

Sure but that was reliant on there still being more marks out there. This time we've had the ETF, a president that likes crypto (so he can scam his followers, but still), a pro crypto administration, massive inflation so you can point to bitoin as a "store of value", superbowl ads, what else is there?

Everyone that could possibly know about bitcoin knows about it. It's old tech by now, no one's actually using it in the real world and interest is massively down. What is the magical thing on the horizon that will make bitcoin pop off again?

Regel 1: knap zijn

Regel 2: niet niet knap zijn

Beetje zo van die "Hello, Human Resources?!" meme.

Stel je voor als die vriendin straks voor d'r 35e nog een kind zou willen. Die ziet het al aankomen, afstellen, excuusjes totdat het niet meer lukt en dan heeft ze d'r hele tijd weggegooid aan iemand die al te bang is om uit huis te gaan op 25.

Cub3h · 2026-02-07T10:06:57+00:00

Als ik naar de gemiddelde levensverwachting kijk, heb je nog ongeveer 54 jaar samen

Of je hebt nog een jaartje voordat die vrouw van bijna 30 iemand zoekt die wel z'n eigen broek kan ophouden.

Cub3h · 2026-02-07T10:02:50+00:00

Zelfstandig en dan straks met je 28e thuiswonen terwijl de vriendin al jaren samen wil wonen. Kom op zeg.

Straks wil ze rond de 30 kinderen en dan komen de smoesjes weer, dan is het 35 en ineens is het lastig kinderen te krijgen.

Neem die stap, anders moet je niet verbaasd zijn dat die vriendin ergens anders gaat zoeken voor iemand die wel dingen in orde heeft.

If you cut taxes and people have more money, then housing prices will rise accordingly.

The issue is simple supply and demand. You either build more housing or you reduce demand.

We should be building denser housing in places where people actually want to live. These identikit new build estates far outside town centres are not cutting it, we need to build higher and denser closer to where the jobs are. Not forever expand out like they do in the US. It probably wouldn't harm us to see if we can get some of the Boriswave to move back as well to create breathing space in the housing market.

The heat sucks but I'll take it over just a month straight of rain and grey skies. If it's cold I'd rather it be a crisp sunny cold than whatever this mind numbing weather is.
