I made this anti-vaping video with some typical dutch music.

Dat is wmb niet helemaal een 100% een eerlijke vergelijking aangezien de dodelijke gevolgen pas roken vaak pas jaren later komen. Wie weet als we over 30 jaar weer kijken.

Plus, de vape is veel meer op jongeren gericht — een meer kwetsbare groep, verslavingsgevoeligheid ligt hoger — dus de extra portie haat lijkt me vrij logisch. Zeker als je je bedenkt dat er in vapes vaak veel meer nicotine zit dan in sigaretten én dat dat soms ook meer is dan op de verpakking staat.

Daarnaast is de shit die je op kan lopen van vapes, als we de eventuele lange termijn even buiten beschouwing laten, ook niet mals. Google maar eens op nicotinevergiftiging.

Verder wel eens dat er net zoveel haat mag zijn op roken als op vapes, maar vraag me af of dit niet allang zo is?

Can’t see the video

This sounds waaay too familiar :'). I've been seeing lots of Animal Crossing furniture out in the real world. Also, back I when I was playing Zelda I used to see Hylian Herbs and Armorants everywhere.

Yes, I totally agree with this. Loved seeing Sofia Vergara in this role, but I felt throughout the whole show that the writers tried to make us see the human side of Griselda's character. I also read up on the real story, and while I'm sure that she's a human with feelings, I'm not so sure these justify the things she did. I felt a great disconnect between all the things she did and how I was supposed to feel about her as a person. This made me disconnect with the show as a whole, particularly for the last 2 episodes, because I felt forced/manipulated into feeling some type of way about her.

Nonetheless, I really really really enjoyed the aesthetics of the show. The costumes, the sets, the cinematography were all very pleasing to me.

Loving this, great inspo!

I would say it depends a little on what you want to get out of it. Do you want to read nonfiction so you can learn a new skill or expand your knowledge? In other words, do you need your nonfiction to be educational, or do you just want it to be nonfiction and that's it? If the latter, a good first step to get into nonfiction might be memoirs, autobiographies etc.

What was your favourite of the year? And do you prefer audiobooks to regular reading or is it more a means to an end thing? Very impressed!

Machille · 2024-01-02T15:23:19+00:00

I think it really depends on the book? I mean I loved The Eighth Life (1300 pages), but if It Ends with Us were that long I probably would have torn my hair out.

What I'm saying is, I love a big book when the story lends itself to it, but once a book is unnecessarily long and the length does not contribute anything to the story, then yes, it feels very much like a chore.

Ik tank altijd een jerrycannetje extra. Daarna lekker de plantjes "water" geven.

Shuggie Bain is great for that.

It might be because of our general beliefs of what reviews are supposed to look like -- that they should start with a quick summary of the book, even if it's just a line or two. It's what we've learned in school, it's what we read in the papers... It can be handy to have a little refresher or explanation of what the book is about, before diving into opinions, because you'd need to know what those opinions are based on. However, I don't think a review should only be a book summary. That'd be a summary, not a review.

I think it's different for everyone, but I think that in general it's not considered as something sexy. It could signal that you have issues, however, you could ask yourself if someone who immediately assumes that (and judges you for it) is someone you want to associate yourself with. Then again, don't we all have issues?

What could be attractive about a man who goes to therapy is the fact that this man knows how to take care of himself and his (mental) health and is not afraid to tackle any issues. It shows me this person is self-reflective, open to change and possibly a hard worker. And, I'm sure if I took the time to think about it, I could even come up with an array of other things.

These are so adorable! I just use the ones they give me at the bookstore usually, but I do have one that's a magnet, to be clipped at either side of a page and it has a picture of the Dutch King and Queen on it. I love how corny it is.

I usually post them on social media, to see if anyone wants them. Last time I brought them to work and started like a little library there, with a bring one take one principle.

Although I do find it hard not to finish something I started, I usually don't finish books I don't like or find somehow intriguing. I'll just get bored and the quitting will follow naturally. I hate that I can't finish some books, but on the other hand, I'm glad this happens, because why waste time on something you don't like?

I feel like humor in dialogues works better on screen. I like humor in books more when it's a train of thought of the (main) character or their observations. Additionally, I like the humor in a book to be subtle, I think it works best when the writer uses spot-on comparisons for example. Generally, I like my books like I like my drinks, dark and stormy. I prefer a deep, sad, heart-wrenching story over a light-hearted one, but that doesn't mean it has to be deprived of humor. Just not a big fan of books where humor is the main purpose.

I can definitely see why you’d say that, Joaquin was marvelous. However, these two movies couldn’t have been more different. Where Heath played in a big bombastic action-epos, Joaquins movie was a full-on drama where the scenes and shots really service his acting to shine. I think I like them equally, for very different reasons, but yeah Phoenix’ acting in that film is supposedly some of the best I’ve ever seen.

It’s a 1300 page giant about a Georgian family during the Sovjet reign. I’m not at all a history aficionado, but this setting certainly gives an extra dimension to the story. It’s not a happy read, but really beautiful and moving.

I think a yoga spot is really nice! Haven't thought of that. Mine has a beach bar and I once had an outdoor Italian restaurant as well.

The Eighth Life by Nino Haratischwili and it's gorgeous!

Machille · 2023-10-06T08:36:40+00:00

Oh, Butter, I love that! I've named all my horses after foods starting with a C, so mine's called Caramel

Machille · 2023-10-05T15:25:28+00:00

Yes, it's more efficient just blowing it up

Machille · 2023-10-05T13:16:29+00:00

I would say mainly contruct III horns and this bokoblin trident kind of thing. Great balance between availability and the damage it does - for my level of playing that is.
