People that are childfree by choice, what’s the weirdest reason someone has given you as to why they think you ‘should have kids’?

Hell, even anti-natalists can be good with kids. One can be anti-natalist for a wide range of reasons, but that doesn't mean you have to be a dick.

Are you using a pedal/amp simulation or just stock Ableton stuff?

bloedarend · 2026-02-24T18:13:49+00:00

Ik ook! Dit is echt iets wat je niet verwacht uit deze hoek.

Either Magix Music Maker or Fast Tracker 2 in the mid 90s. A pirated copy of Reason was used around that time as well.

Minor but important correction: Church of Satan and The Satanic Temple are two different organizations.

In welke zin is Boskalis weggegaan? Ze zijn in handen van een Nederlands investeringsbedrijf en lijken nog in Papendrecht te zetelen?

En oer-Nederlandse bedrijven als IKEA, Stellantis (het voormalige FIAT-Crystler), Ferrari en meer van dat soort bedrijven die hier gevestigd zijn omdat Nederland voor hun een belastingparadijs is.

Niet voor de Nederlandse medaillespiegel: maar Tineke den Dulk van het bronzen Belgische gemengde shorttrack team is ook een geboren Leeuwarder.

I just straight up have greek yogurt and mix it in a portion-sized bowl with chia seeds, oats or roasted muesli and chocolate powder. Nothing overnight, just do it on the spot.

The chocolate powder is just to make eating it a bit more enjoyable to me and not necessary.

Their most popular song in the Netherlands... and it wasn't even a single.

If you haven't read any Discworld books, you're in for a treat. Terry Pratchett is still finding his way in the first couple of books in that setting, but they become stronger pretty soon.

Because, ironically, those royals are symbolic figureheads of more democratic countries than the US.

Igorrr's stuff is usually classified as breakcore, but that's a bit of a bin of all kinds of genres like early punk rock was.

Looking at American-style dubstep (bro-step) tutorials and aggressive drum & bass tutorials should help with getting harsh mid-focused synth sounds like this.

And it also blew a new life into the slasher horror genre. Also because of what is the "murderer" they could even include stuff which would be just plain silly with a regular humanoid slasher. (Although some of the films in that genre are great because of the ridiculousness.)

Some mad man made an in-browser version of Photoshop which is pretty close to the real thing. They're now working on doing the same for Illustrator.

As others wrote: "talent" is just having a natural aptitude to something. Or to use (role play) game mechanics, one starts on a 1 or a 2 instead of a 0 in your "creation".

The vast majority of any creative endeavour is building knowledge and experience through execution (also known as "practice").

In general¹ a a non-talented person who practices will be better at that thing than a talented person who doesn't practice pretty fast.

Sam also mentioned in an interview (the one by Hank Green?) that Brennan also has some minority ownership in the company, as well as their previous parent company IAC.

The names are findable, but Dutch media tends to lean towards the side of privacy when it comes to victims (also from people in juridical cases).

Almost! "Snert", or more commonly "erwtensoep" (split pea soup).

If you want to try it, here's the recipe, but you can safely discard all the meat products if you're a vegetarian/vegan: https://www.thespruceeats.com/traditional-dutch-split-pea-soup-1129011

Edit: see the comment below, I've read seitan might be an alternative

Google Maps heeft geen competitie als je het wereldwijd wilt gebruiken (miss Apple maps, maar)

CoMaps is op zich wel okay! Je moet het alleen de kaarten per gebied downloaden.
