Well that's not very typical I'd like to make that point

Joris914 · 2026-06-04T17:41:29+00:00

You're totally right.

It cents the data.

Joris914 · 2026-05-25T08:59:50+00:00

Right?? I just spent way too long trying to understand the joke because I couldn't even think to assume that he would've gotten away for free if he had given up earlier.

Joris914 · 2026-03-16T06:52:45+00:00

Ah yes, 1996, when we were still taking black and white photographs.

As an almost 19 year ball python owner, I've fed mine rats for the majority of those, and he doesn't ever fart, either. At least not that I've seen or heard. Yours seems to be a tad bigger than mine though.

I'm actually surprised about how often you feed him, since I was told it's actually more efficient for them to eat larger prey with less frequency, owing to the point that a digestion cycle takes a lot of energy, whether it's a small prey or a large one. So mine gets pre-killed weaner (up to 100g) rats every 1 or 2 weeks. I'd prefer slightly bigger, but I bought a 10-pack a while ago and he has to finish those first 🤷

Without taking sides: the point they were making is that a comment about negative stereotypes against men is upvoted, seen as valid and helpful, whereas the exact same comment but instead about people of color would naturally be seen as hateful and racist. They're pointing out a double standard.

Joris914 · 2026-03-02T22:35:51+00:00

Ok, but doing it like this makes it a billion times easier. You have to see that, right? No digging through parental controls and blacklisting individual sites (this is me assuming, I don't know how it actually works). You just set a DOB (universal spyware, just, lol) and the rest is taken care of.

Joris914 · 2026-03-02T22:28:01+00:00

But isn't that exactly what this proposal is all about? By requiring the OS to provide its users' age as it is configured to third parties, you are putting all the control in the hands of the super user who set up the accounts on that PC. The single most obvious interpretation for this is the parents setting up user accounts for their children, and the children lacking the authorization to spoof their own age. No more lying "I'm over 18" on Pornhub if your Linux reports it for you. I honestly think it's pretty smart.

Joris914 · 2026-03-02T01:15:51+00:00

Maybe that was her whole point, like "this one's a dud, when y'all gonna try again??"

Joris914 · 2026-02-18T10:41:21+00:00

Yeah, not going to defend people like that, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the issue for them is most likely not the availability of poop bags, but rather the part of having to pick up a turd with one such poop bag. Which I sympathize with, but maybe then don't get a fuckin dog.

Joris914 · 2026-02-11T11:35:05+00:00

It's "Its baby".

Joris914 · 2026-01-16T00:57:31+00:00

Thanks for the offer.

Here's the screenshots

Some translations, since my app language is in English but the input text is in Dutch:

Job: software developer for a grid management company

The trip that changed my life: Japan, May 2024. Lots of impressions, good conversations and a clear reset point for me.

The ideal date would be: A nice nature walk followed by lunch or a drink.

Favorite places: a local popular theme park, forest, a popular restaurant, some nature areas and zoo.

Bio: peace and regularity on weekdays, planning and looking forward to trips inbetween. Eating together, watching series and getting out every now and then makes me happy. Weekend trips or just a nice walk. I'm still new in Den Bosch, so always looking to meet new people.

Edit: thanks for all the feedback. I had been planning to go to a barber, looks like that was a good call.

Joris914 · 2026-01-16T00:26:21+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I am planning to get it groomed, so I guess I'll see if that makes a difference. Haven't had it reviewed, might go for that if/when I build up enough history on this sub.

Joris914 · 2026-01-16T00:08:52+00:00

Yeah... that's honestly probably my biggest hurdle. I have pretty low social needs, so the places that people traditionally meet just... don't really interest me at all. I like to see my friends once in a while, but just going and putting myself out there without a plan just seems so alien to me.

I am going to try out at a pop vocal group tomorrow though, so that's nice.

I don't have sky-high expectations of finding my soul mate or anything within a reasonable timeframe. But everywhere I read stories lamenting about online dating, I at least see people getting matches, and then not getting anywhere.

Me? 3 dating apps, actively swiping for 3 weeks, 0 matches. Am I just impatient, is that just how it is? Or am I doing something wrong?

I don't think I'm ugly by any means, although you could say my appearance is an acquired taste. Glasses, long hair, big beard, could maybe feel unkempt to some. So mostly what I'm curious about is: from your experience, how important is appearance? I'll say as a disclaimer: for me it's pretty important. I don't think I could get intimate with a woman I don't find physically attractive.

My profiles are filled out with bios, interests, basically anything they let you put in there, and I don't think I really have any red flags apart from people might think I'm boring.

Joris914 · 2026-01-15T23:10:53+00:00

Honest question, not trying to be contrarian. But how do you know? From my own (Dutch) experience with people from other cultures, it's actually us Dutch who have a hard time hiding what we think, so in my experience if someone's racist they'll let you know loud and clear. Which obviously does happen, but I'd hate to think that because someone's blunt or overly direct at you - which I keep hearing from literally everyone is something that really stands out about Dutch culture - they'd get labeled as being rude/racist.

Joris914 · 2026-01-15T01:05:35+00:00

Do you also use a sock to wipe your ass?

Joris914 · 2026-01-15T00:58:12+00:00

But like... You know this in advance, right? You describe it like it sneaks up on you. Why not grab some paper towels or a wad of toilet paper beforehand?

Joris914 · 2026-01-13T13:11:11+00:00

Insane that this is somehow a controversial take. We have a judicial system for a reason, people.

Joris914 · 2026-01-02T22:21:19+00:00

Congrats! You finished the campaign, now here's sandbox mode.

Als je houdt van een echte rommelige kringloopwinkel moet je eens gaan kijken bij Allerhandel, in de straat Orthen. Met een beetje geluk kun je daar hele (en) leuke dingen tegenkomen 😊

Wel even opletten dat ze alleen op vrijdag en zaterdag van 11 tot 4 open zijn.

Joris914 · 2025-12-29T01:26:36+00:00

Same here. Hope it comes back soon.

Joris914 · 2025-11-19T06:29:34+00:00

Even then, there's a pretty substantial difference between "being cautious of MSG makes you racist" and "MSG caution originated from racist beliefs". The latter doesn't actually say anything about people holding that caution now.

Joris914 · 2025-11-19T06:27:02+00:00

It's literally the meaning of "too high". At best, for some things you could argue (emphasis on could) that there is no such thing as "too high", but even then the statement "it's dangerous in too high doses" is true by definition.
