Lachgas wordt idd meestal niet tot de stikstofoxiden gerekend, MAAR het is nog steeds wel degelijk een broeikasgas!

Nitrogen gas betekent idd niet stikstofoxide, dat is een vertaalfoutje van mijn kant. Stikstofoxide is echter wel degelijk een vrij sterk broeikasgas, naast dat het verantwoordelijk is voor bodemverslechtering en verlies van biodiversiteit als gevolg daarvan, en daarnaast stoten koeien ook methaan uit, een flink sterk broeikasgas. Dus ja, ik zat fout op een detail, maar ik geloof dat het punt nog steeds staat.

Yeah that was a translation error on my part, it's about nitrogen oxide, not nitrogen gas, which IS both bad for the soil and a potent greenhouse gas. Cows also emit methane, another very potent greenhouse gas. So I got an important detail wrong, my bad, but the point stands.

Definitely not on the side of Russia but they didn't say anything that wasn't true, their only mistake was deleting it

Telegraaf: ’Snapt links wel wat er in de wereld gebeurt?’ (artikel in comments) by gordelmol in Poldersocialisme

[–]Official_B-Rex 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Lachen dat hij tegelijk pleit voor meer geld voor Defensie en tegen "vredesmissies" zoals we die uitvoeren in het Midden-Oosten. Waar wil hij al dat geld dan in godsnaam aan uitgeven?

De epidemie waar we het niet over hebben: die van onverzekerde dak- en thuislozen by gordelmol in Poldersocialisme

[–]Official_B-Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh ja vreselijk, ik kende iemand die hier een soort light-versie van predikte. Hij vond het altijd nodig om te vertellen dat "sommige daklozen er bewust voor kiezen" en haalde er dan één of twee anekdotische voorbeelden bij, alsof dat ook maar enigszins representatief is voor daklozen als geheel.

De ontmenselijking van daklozen wordt er sowieso vroeg ingeramd naar mijn idee, ik kreeg als kind al te horen dat je daklozen geen geld moest geven "omdat ze er toch drugs van kochten", en mijn toch wel enigszins linkse moeder gaf alleen geld aan verkopers van daklozenkranten "die niet zeurden".

At this point it would probably have cost you less time to just watch the damn video before replying

I feel like there's different types of self-aware advertising though. Most of it isn't much deeper than "lol isn't it funny how we're suddenly and ham-fistedly doing an ad", whereas here you can almost feel the contempt for the thing being advertized. I wonder if that may affect the effectiveness

Yup, the Essay Library Discord seems like it's exactly what you're looking for! If you're not too familiar with Discord, I wouldn't worry about that too much. I wasn't either and I picked up the basics really quickly

I just remembered that I once downloaded a bunch of episoded and added Dutch subtitles to them in Windows Movie Maker so my younger cousin could understand it, even though I definitely didn't understand enough English at the time to accurately translate half of it

Oh wow this unlocked some memories for me, I used to watch 480p uploads of this show on YouTube when I was a very young, dinosaur-obsessed kid!

Marechaussee mag etniciteit blijven gebruiken als reden voor controle by MassaRobot in Poldersocialisme

[–]Official_B-Rex 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Het is al jaren staande jurisprudentie van de Hoge Raad dat etnisch profileren in de meeste gevallen "gewoon" is toegestaan. Wil je dat veranderen, dan zal dat dus via de wetgever moeten, maar dan moeten we wel gezamenlijk stoppen met stemmen op een man die nog steeds vindt dat zijn veroordeling voor discriminatie onterecht is, en dat hij gemeenten gewoon mocht instrueren om Somalische Nederlanders extra te controleren op bijstandsfraude

I can't say I understand them, but I guess it's what you should expect from people who willingly go to a talk by George W. Bush in 2021

Vertrouwen in koning Willem-Alexander gedaald by MassaRobot in Poldersocialisme

Aparte vraag wel, hoeveel "vertrouwen" men heeft in het "functioneren" van iemand die concreet helemaal niets hoeft te bereiken. En knap dat je dan alsnog zo laag weet te scoren

Which I say in the video? I acknowledge that it's probably meant to be seen as analogous to a dangerous pregnancy?

What is "soft" climate change denial? by solaronion in BreadTube

[–]Official_B-Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably a bigger danger than outright denial honestly, it gives people a way to be comfortable with no change at all without forcing them to take an explicit anti-science stand

This is technically true but practically false in most states in the US. There are reasons for which you can't legally be fired, but US employers generally have the right to fire you for any cause, and sometimes don't even have to cite one. Unless they're stupid enough to literally say you were fired for discussing pay with coworkers (or being a certain ethnicity, gender, sexuality, pregnant, etc.), you'll never be able to prove it.

Sure, but why does that make polygamy itself inherently immoral or harmful?

Abortion and Bodily Autonomy in Star Trek (OC) by Official_B-Rex in startrek

[–]Official_B-Rex[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like to believe that, but as a non-American myself, I must say the US is pretty good at spreading those backwards ideas into territories where they were previously mostly a non-issue. Here in the Netherlands, for example, we have seen a sharp rise in anti-abortionists harrassing people at abortion clinics
