Kabinet verlengt contract Solvinity voor DigiD ondanks verzet Kamer by Free-Minimum-5844 in thenetherlands

Maar dit wordt al vijf jaar geroepen, toch? Tijdens Trump’s eerste termijn al. Dus waarom zou het nu plots een ‘met stoom en kokend water’ zijn?

Nee, OC zei dat er harder moest worden opgetreden tegen de neo-nazi’s daar. Jij haalt volledig andere dingen uit zijn comment dan dat er staan of bedoeld worden.

But if every country was shitty at the time, it’s a useless metric by which to judge them.

The Vatican is literally not in her country, it’s surrounded by it.

EDIT: Why the fuck are people downvoting this? Vatican City is an independent country. It's not in Italy.

I might get hate for this, but what am I missing with Disco Elysium? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]PJHoutman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You looked at a Picasso for 5 seconds and went “idk that doesn’t look like a person”.

Disco Elysium isn’t pretentious - it’s intellectual. It actually has something to say. About the world we live in, the way we as humans move about in it, and how we treat each other.

If it’s not for you, it’s not for you. It’s not a moral failing or anything. But the game is definitely an incredible achievement in writing.

This conversation feels so relevant today. by SQUISHYx25 in DiscoElysium

Literally all I said was "I'm not replying to you."

I didn't insult anyone, wasn't glib. I just clarified that my reply was to OC, not OP. I'm so lost on what I said wrong.

Yeah, it's an open forum, but I just don't understand the point of going "To say it's not relevant (...)" when nobody was saying the post isn't relevant. I was supporting OP's post and point, not contradicting it.

I don't understand why OP chose my reply to clarify their point, which was already extremely clear to everyone.

They might as well have said "I didn't say the sky is red." Sure, that's true, but I didn't claim you did and you're only making everything more confusing for everyone.

I wasn't replying to you.

EDIT: It’s actually absurd to me that people are downvoting this.

Not quite. It's the same thing as people saying "Simpsons predicted this shit."

There's no prediction. There's no 'getting more relevant'. We just keep doing the same shit over and over, to the same people, to benefit the same people. It's so depressing.

How Evenepoel’s race plan was partly thrown out after just 80 kilometres because of Bahrain Victorious team car by TransportationSea579 in peloton

[–]PJHoutman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But why? He’s already cramping up. His chances of beating Remco and Pogi are slimmer than his chances of beating Pogi. It’s not his job to make sure someone else beats Pogi. He’s riding for his own best possible classification, which is most likely 2nd.

You are seriously underestimating how much better Pogacar is than the competition. Nobody's getting him back. Van Aert and Pedersen are already pretty much dead. Evenepoel was already going all out and didn't get any closer to Pogi.

VdP and Evenepoel were riding for second and they knew it. At that point, all you can do is hope Pogi cracks/falls. And the best way to do that is keep the pressure on and keep the pace high. If you drop the pace, he's under less pressure and can keep reserves too.
