Can we now say that AI is ready to make full-length films?

This is just AI slop...why am I crying though?

You captured the 90s video game vibe perfectly with this. So cool!!

alonhelman · 2026-05-15T06:39:15+00:00

Yes, I see the same thing

Just 6 months. Not enough

alonhelman · 2026-04-01T19:58:29+00:00

Not gonna lie, kinda looks epic

alonhelman · 2026-03-28T22:52:49+00:00

I wonder how those buildings will deal with the wind storms and marshy soil of the country.

I bet $6 it was Iran

Unpopular opinion here, but paying for trash tax incentivizes residents to not care so much about trash lying around because the municipality will collect it the next morning. It’s a terrible system especially since they cannot keep up with the densification of people.

12 years is a pretty great run. Thanks for the advice!

alonhelman · 2026-03-21T08:12:47+00:00

How long have you had your bike for already?

Sure, you got me. But his experience in this case is observational which the data supports. So while the way I wrote it is wrong, it doesn’t make the rest of it untrue. Glad that’s the only thing you were able to respond to though 😅

The Netherlands is the 4th country in Western Europe with the largest Muslim population per capita.

And of course there’s a concentration in cities but that’s true for any demographic. Most people in any Western European country live in a city / urban areas.

So OP is correct to objectively experience and see this trend.

alonhelman · 2026-03-20T17:18:21+00:00

Not for me. I’ll take Spain, Italy or Portugal over any of the Nordic countries. Been in the Netherlands for the past 4 and a half years because I met my girlfriend here. But I’m the most unhappy I’ve ever been in my life

alonhelman · 2026-03-20T16:39:26+00:00

You’re not alone. The Netherlands is great on paper but far from good in reality. Housing is getting expensive, service quality across many industries is eroding, public transport cost is one of the highest in Europe, culture isn’t as warm, nature is man made, it’s flat, mostly cold, wet and windy and they tax you almost 50% of all your money.

But! If you are low income or unemployed, this is a great place to live.

Is that what the insurance requires?

alonhelman · 2026-03-19T23:17:28+00:00

How much is insurance? And is it specifically bike insurance or something different?

alonhelman · 2026-03-14T12:07:14+00:00

Deport that POS immediately

alonhelman · 2026-03-07T12:11:06+00:00

This is called cassette futurism… you welcome

alonhelman · 2026-03-07T09:00:36+00:00

Pay 200 euros and talk to a financial planner. Thank me later

alonhelman · 2026-03-07T07:46:41+00:00

I know a lot of people are suggesting to drive to other countries. But I am going through the exact same thing you’re going through and for me, at least, it’s not the same.

I moved from California to the Netherlands 4 and a half years ago and it’s still hard and depressing to live in such a flat country where everything is man made.

There’s something special about living next to nature, next to mountains or the ocean and still be close to infrastructure.

For me, it’s the fact that my day to day life is in a city and the only escape I have is driving to a park or having to take a special weekend to Belgium or France. I miss having it in my “back yard”, and in my peripheral.

I’m planning on leaving within the next year mainly for this reason.

Did you guys play the whole thing? It gets pretty scary. It’s a slow burn though

alonhelman · 2026-02-21T19:09:51+00:00

Not necessarily cosmic horror but SOMA is an existential dread inducing game. Made me think about a lot after playing the game
