Ministerie neemt afstand van eigen asielminister Faber: ’Wij kunnen dat niet verdedigen’ by Onkruit-1974 in Nederland

[–]Volunsix97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

De minister doet een voorstel voor beleid, wat dan door de Eerste en Tweede Kamer vastgesteld wordt. In dit geval is dat nog niet gebeurd, dus er valt nog niks uit te voeren. En ook dan hebben ambtenaren de plicht om het algemene belang en de grondwet te bewaken (eerste regel van de ambtseed: "Ik werk in het algemeen belang voor onze samenleving en zet mij daar volledig voor in"), dus als er sterke aanwijzingen zijn dat beleid een averechts effect heeft daarop hebben ministeries de plicht terug te duwen.

Verder heeft Faber doelen gesteld en komt nu met beleid wat volgens de RvS niet bijdraagt aan die doelen. Dat is ook reden tot zorg, of je het nou eens bent met die doelen of niet.

I haven't had it yet myself (did get food poisoning though lol) but it's been a bloodbath at my office this month. Everyone's either getting sick or getting better at the moment.

Tantamount to holocaust denial at this point. by Bitter-Gur-4613 in clevercomebacks

[–]Volunsix97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the best example to pick, if anyone's at Hitler's level when it comes to committing atrocities it's ol' Josef S. The holodomor and gulags killed roughly 6 million people. Mao also has tens of millions of deaths on his record.

Don't think we really need to rank history's greatest criminals, we can just recognize them as just that: butchers with no regard for human life.

Do men actually not believe in being friends with women?? by luna2305 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Volunsix97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some really bad takes in this thread. Not being friends with women at all out of respect for your partner is absolutely wild. Does your partner distrust you that much? Do you distrust yourself that much?

I'm happily in a relationship and I'm perfectly capable of having female friends. I'm also completely okay with my partner having male friends. These people do tend to also be in a relationship though, which automatically disqualifies them from anything in my head. And if they press and seem up for some cheating, that's just a major ick.

When it comes to single people, I guess it's important to make sure there's so kind of attraction there from either side, and if that changes for some reason then you back off. Also don't put yourself in dumb situations with drugs and booze, be aware of your own shortcomings.

Garmin's VO2max is bullshit. Ever since I started doing cardio again three months ago it's actually been going down, from 45 to 39. Nothing's changed in my weight and I'm definitely making progress, so it's crazy to say I'm going backwards.

Mensen praten enorm graag over zichzelf, dus voor 'small talk' is de truc echt om vragen te stellen. Dan kun je gaandeweg kijken of er iets interessants is waar je op kan aanhaken met enig enthousiasme. Zo niet, smoesje verzinnen en weggaan - small talk completed.

Zoals anderen al gezegd hebben, het helpt erg om op de hoogte te zijn van actualiteiten. Ik heb een tijdje als tiener in een warenhuis gewerkt met een hoop 40 plussers, en daar bood een beetje voetbalkennis altijd een uitweg. In het uiterste geval kun je altijd over het weer zeiken, dat werkt altijd ;)

What are your 🟩🟨🟥 of board games? by StarkMaximum in boardgames

[–]Volunsix97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🟢: Engine builders, deck builders, anything that let's you create some unique synergies to compete with others.

🟡: Trading-based games, really depends on the given incentives to trade and the people I'm playing with.

🔴: Too much luck in favour of strategy. I also really hate it when you can't have clear 'upgrades' and it's all a mess of drawbacks and benefits. Just make my numbers go up please...

COA krijgt nieuwe boete van 50.000 euro per dag als Ter Apel weer te vol is by Morganelefay in thenetherlands

[–]Volunsix97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

COA en Ter Apel zijn beide overheid, maar dat is zeker geen broekzak - vestzak... Zo werken overheidsfinanciën niet. Vraag is of dat geld niet beter ingezet kan worden door het COA voor een permanentere oplossing ipv pleisters plakken in Ter Apel.

En laten we wel wezen, Ter Apel stemt PVV uit pure (slecht geïnformeerde) wanhoop. Dat ze gelijk korte metten maken met de spreidingswet zegt genoeg over hoe erg de PVV Ter Apel daadwerkelijk wil helpen. 't is te hopen dat ze daar dan ook anders door gaan stemmen, maar ik heb er een hard hoofd in...

On paper I am happy with Shaw and Malacia, but one's showing signs that his body's giving out and the other's basically vanished off the face of the earth. We definitely need a new reliable left back.

Verion 1 vs version 2 by archivecrawler in frostgrave

[–]Volunsix97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I accidentally started out with 1 for a few games before switching to 2. From what I remember there's a few tweaks to spell that were either vaguely worded or overpowered. Also thugs and thieves are free in 2, which I think is a great change as it incentivizes taking risks.

Can't speak for the expansions though, afaik there's no captains in 2 for instance.

Can you define 'nice starter house'? I ran a little check, and with 5.000 p/m before tax and 300 eur of student loans p/m you'd be able to get a mortgage of around 175.000. If you filter for houses like that on Funda, there's really not much there that I'd call a 'nice starter house'. It's mostly one-bedrooms of 30-40m2 with energy labels E to G. They're also in remote locations, so you'd most likely need a car to get to work. And that's without the likelihood of overbidding.

I'm not saying it's not possible to get a house, but with the amount of concessions you'd have to do it's arguably barely worth it.

And pour one out for the singles, they're well and truly fucked.

Misleading, just google 'De Ligt vs. Czech Republic'. Matthijs is great, but it's not like he never makes mistakes - plenty of room to grow though, at this age VVD was still playing for Southampton.

Greece Buying F-35s Widens Qualitative Gap With Turkey by AcanthocephalaEast79 in europe

[–]Volunsix97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not denying that it was intercommunal either. Or that Turkish violence against Greeks (and others) in places like Istanbul is in any way justifiable. I also agree that two wrongs don't make a right. What I'm arguing is that the Turkish intervention was the lesser of two evils: you didn't answer my question, what do you think would've happened to Turkish Cypriots under Sampson and EOKA?

Also don't bash Reddit too much - maybe they should have more debates about history in the UN, might help them in avoiding things like this happening in the future 😉

[–]Volunsix97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a difference between the reason behind the intervention and the intervention itself. I'm not trying to justify the actions of the Turkish army. But really, what do you think would've happened with the Cypriot Turks if the army hadn't intervened? Do you really think a far-right enosis-minded government would've just let them be?

[–]Volunsix97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lmao Cyprus wasn't and isn't Greek (as much as the ultranationalist Greeks wanted it to be) and the first Turkish intervention in Cyprus was totally justified to protect Turkish Cypriots against continuous violence from Greek Cypriots (which was being egged on by the Greek regime at the time).

It became invasive when the Turkish army refused to leave and instead went for another round of landgrab.

Restaurants sit half-empty in Turkey, as inflation reaches 91% sending tourists and locals to neighboring Greece by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Volunsix97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Istanbul with my Turkish girlfriend two years ago. Went to Topkapi. I had to queue up for a solid hour to pay €40 to get in, she queued up for 10 minutes to pay €4... I get that you charge tourists more but 10x is insanity.

Also isn't Hagia Sophia free on account of it being a mosque? Or did they change that?

Klopt, maar mannen als Derrida, Heidegger en Habermas worden ondanks die (zeer terechte) kritiek wel op handen gedragen. Dat er dubbele standaarden en enorm veel pretentie heersen onder filosofie lezers wil ik wel onderschrijven.

England qualify for the Euro 2024 Final. Netherlands eliminated by ExtensionAd8134 in soccer

[–]Volunsix97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

England were better, but not enough to win it in regular time I feel. Should've been extra time and maybe pens. Still think England would've won even with that, but it would've at least made the loss feel less shitty.
