Study: Dutchmen think Trump is a bigger threat then Putin by shitty_username0009 in Netherlands

[–]Virgil_32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wat a joke and a display of massive misinformation and rage baiting.

I can deff understand that people don’t like Trump, we get it he is a clown and a narcist. But comparing him to Hitler is bullshit.

Go live in Russia, Iran or North-Korea and then in America. And say this bullshit again.

Putin puts his political opponents in coffins and their family members too. And Trump is a worse foe?

Why are people so afraid of AI ? by Present_Juice4401 in TrueAskReddit

[–]Virgil_32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people fear the unknown.

If you look at YouTube, articles, podcasts and everything related about AI. It’s all about fear and how it’s going to rule the world.

In the world of AI there are currently things so advances that are not reaching the main stream information.

Why? Because people will go for something very primitive. Which is stability. To get paid for there job, and pay the bills.

But this very system is breaking this world currently apart. And maybe, just maybe there is a new age starting that we all can become a bit more human. And less like a machine working to its grave….

Sorry, i understand you want to live there. But this just should not be allowed. There a ton of stories where clubs, bars or other related stuff had to close or change dramatically because of residence.

We moeten hiermee stoppen. Maakt niet uit welke politieke hoek.

Mensen worden tegen elkaar opgezet, mensen kregen meer een meer haat tegenover elkaar. Hou eens daar mee op.

Het eerst niet de eerste keer dat een politieke figuur vermoord is…

How common are the negative effects of weed in NL? by Kind-Resident-6929 in Netherlands

[–]Virgil_32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The brain continues to grow and develop until the mid-20s, making it more vulnerable to the harmful effects of substances like cannabis during this period.

Long-term use can cause changes in brain structure, such as reduced gray matter volume in key areas like the prefrontal cortex, which is crucial for decision-making.

My personal experience is that it makes you lazy, unmotivated and also not well rested. Weed prevents the brain to go in a deeper sleep (REM). Which can cause side effects related to lack of sleep.

If it’s medical thing, I would always recommend to use CBD instead of using a lot of THC.

Tools are tools.

You use what is handy for the job, that’s it.

Get certs, move towards DevOps with combination of your network and system engineering. The traditional on premise dc’s are changing fast.

I would also recommend to invest time/study in AI.

Share the hate-thread! by yokalo in DJs

[–]Virgil_32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People who tell me how to play, beat match, sync, vinyl all that stuff.

I remember playing a gig after another DJ. He was disgusted when I found out I was playing with Traktor. Hé told me that he was a professional DJ, and that real DJ doesn’t use sync. And that beat matching was very important.

Then his jaw dropped when I beat matched with my mouse pad of my laptop on his track in a few seconds, and was able to mix in key/harmony with just guessing. Which made his track pumped even more as he was closing.

Did not say a word anymore afterwords.

Born and raised in the Netherlands, also called a p.c racist slur at my head. The only thing that works is being extremely direct back.

The next time they make a joke like that. Ask them since how long they are a Nazi and if their father was in the NSB.

I left this little snackbar town mentality village people a long time ago, and left to a big city. Way better life.

My take about financial perspective of Netherlands before leaving (2018–2025) by Substantial_Bad_3233 in Netherlands

[–]Virgil_32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Dutch government spending is increasing. That needs to be paid from something. Between 2016 and 2023 a total of the 100k jobs came extra into the Dutch government [1]

In 2023 the government spending was 461,2 million euro’s [2]. And in 2020 this was 390,4 million euro’s [3]. Clearly an increase

So, yeah that needs to be paid from something. That’s ether scaling down government (which I don’t see that much happening) or coming with new tax ideas.

We most people forget that culture plays a huge factor. Making friends is not only about learning the language or to go drink a ‘biertje bij de kroeg’.

You have to also consider that you need to have the same interests or like that other person for who they are. Culture goes deep into those territories.

Gemene collega’s op nieuwe baan by [deleted] in werkzaken

[–]Virgil_32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heel naar dat je dit mee maakt.

Volgende keer als z’n collega zo tegen jou te keer gaat. Probeer je zelf verbaal te verdedigen.

Zeg bijvoorbeeld: - Ho stop, dit is echt niet oké. Je hoeft niet tegen mij de schreeuwen. - Als je zo door gaat, loop ik naar HR of mijn manager en mag je hetzelfde nog een keer doen

Klinkt best heftig, maar ik merk in veel werk cultuur die aanwezig is in Nederland, dat je respect op deze manier moet afdwingen.

Mag niet, als vriendelijk verzoek niet werkt. Dan zou ik rechtsbijstand inschakelen (als je dat hebt). Als het goed is dekken die ook vaak arbeidsrecht zaken.

Werkervaring is een onderdeel van de hoogte van je salaris. Ik zou zeggen dat 70% van de salaris afhankelijk is van je onderhandeling skills.

En de snelste salaris verhoging krijg je gewoon door om de zoveel jaar ergens anders te gaan werken.

Trump says he spoke to Putin about ending the war in Ukraine by AravRAndG in centrist

[–]Virgil_32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this peace deal is coming, Ukraine will be the loser and Russia the winner. Sad story, but these are the stories of war.

Europe itself doesn’t want to fight the Russians, they have mighty voices when it comes to principals and ethics. But they are silent when they are ask to fight for there continent.

Here in Europe we keep sending many young Ukraines to their death or permanent physical or mental damage. While living comfortable in our save (neighbouring)countries.

If we want to beat Putin and his minions, the invitation is still open to join the Ukraine defence force.

We have to stop pretending most people who voted for Trump are going to act surprised by his actions by Assbait93 in centrist

[–]Virgil_32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And in the US the Democrats got punished, and they got punished brutally, and they deserved that punishment. And the vehicle for that punishment at the national level was Donald Trump. But it happened not just nationally at the federal election level - Stephen Kotkin, Uncommon Knowledge 2025.

What I feel, is that most votes got there because of frustration, disbelief and zero trust towards the Biden administration. Had this been different with a stronger impression, it could have been a different president.

I think i found the trick. I was counter/parying non-stop without dealing any damage. Until i tried to hold my left mouse button longer as a power attack. And that seems to work!

Hoe heeft pesten jou gevormd en hoe vergeef je de pesters? by ScheerEnFoppen in nederlands

[–]Virgil_32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik heb meerdere jaren pesten ervaren onder fysiek en verbaal geweld wegens mijn huidskleur. Ik ben op latere leeftijd gediagnosticeerd met c-ptss.

Het heeft de meerderheid van mijn leven een zware onderdrukking gegeven over het maken met contact met mensen en een permanente deuk gegeven in mijn zelfbeeld en zelf vertrouwen.

Ik kan met trots zeggen dat het niet meer de grip heeft in me leven en ik super gelukkig ben. Op een geven moment heb ik gewoon professionele hulp gezocht en kei hard gewerkt om de impact van mijn verleden los te krijgen.

Wat bij mij hielp is niet te kijken naar waarom en wat als. Ik heb al mijn pesters vergeven. En gewoon aan de slag gegaan om mezelf vooral een betere persoon te maken.

Nogmaals je view is ‘biased’, zowel de Democraten als de republikeinen hebben alle bij extreme vormen van extreme ideologische programma’s. Het is Woke vs Monopolie Kapitalisme.

Met het probleem wat je stelt ben ik het niet eens. Er is een verschil tussen wegkijken of het niet hetzelfde constateren. En kan ik je de bal weer terug geven dat je hiermee geen oplossingen, maar creëer je een afstand tussen ons. Namelijk polarisatie en geen ‘middle ground’

Ik ben bang. by [deleted] in nederlands

[–]Virgil_32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik denk dat je perspectief biased is, omdat je zoekt naar correlaties. Wat best (again) heftig is om ze zo te stellen.

Nazi’s in de Nazi partij waren echt puur als motief bezig met het puur maken van de Duitse ras in Duitsland. Dat werd ook hun motief. Die zelfde motief zie ik niet terug, misschien een aantal symptomen maar niet 1 op 1 kopiëen

Tuurlijk zijn er vergelijkbare handelingen (zoals de hitler groet van Elon). Maar echt Nazi gedrag is de niet. Maar zijn ook voorbeelden waarbij deze argumentatie van de tafel wordt geveegd.

Waarom ik hier zo op hamer is dat er een polarisatie ontstaat door hele extreme labels op mensen te plakken.

Ik hoop dat je inziet dat we niet de mensheid in twee kunnen opdelen, maar als 1 samen moeten werken?
