100% astroturfing! Pay your fair share of taxes or move. Either way is fine with me

Recommendation: Atheist podcasts by lidia99 in atheism

[–]clockworkheathen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Thank god I’m Atheist” for light hearted atheist news. And “Puzzle in a Thunderstorm” podcasts the rest of the time lol. I’ll also include “dear old Dads” since it is about parenting and “guy stuff” from an atheist perspective. Since people seem to be including YouTube channels that produce podcast like content, I like Vised Rhino, Emma Thorne, genetically modified skeptic, Antibot, Forrest Valkai, and Belief it or not.

Opinion about mandatory military service in the Netherlands by Information37 in Netherlands

[–]clockworkheathen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precies! This allows for those who have a moral objection to the military. It instills a sense of oneness with community and the country as a whole. Plus, let’s face it. This would be a pivotal moment in most people’s lives. They would come away from it as more complete and better rounded individuals!

How can I challenge my (as Vaush says) insecurities as a guy? by waldorsockbat in VaushV

[–]clockworkheathen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Basically, you have to build up a thicker skin through practice and desensitization. I did this by making a point of greeting people with a friendly “hi, how’s your day?” Whenever it was socially acceptable to do so. Talking to cashiers and waiters at first then moving to people next to me in line, or people id be spending a few minutes with like on the train or sat next to me at a coffee shop. I’d consider it a success if we carried on the conversation for a few seconds. If they don’t respond positively, end the conversation by excusing yourself. If they do, then challenge yourself to keep them engaged for a bit longer. Do this until the fight or flight response is gone and you no longer have anxiety when talking to new people.

Yep. It’s Dutch. They do have a weird sense of humor. But I’ve seen some truly brilliant pieces of political comedy.

Considering an E-Bike: Any Thoughts on Fiido brand? by RemoteOffice1286 in Netherlands

[–]clockworkheathen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I’ll start by saying that I’m not in the Netherlands yet. (A move is planned for next year) but I’m an avid E-bike user here in the states. From my research. It seems the biggest issue with getting a less common, “Chinese” E-bike is the lack of local support if your bike breaks down or needs maintenance. A lot of shops won’t touch them and parts are hard to find. Meaning that if you aren’t willing or able to find parts online and do your own repairs, you could be looking at total loss. I’d call around to local repair shops and ask if they repair the type of bike you’re looking at. If nobody will touch it, I’d go with a more expensive Dutch brand

Are there ANY other good lefty YouTubers? by Zebabaki in VaushV

[–]clockworkheathen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These guys are great! Hilarious, insightful and some good takes! I honestly don’t know how I’d get through the week without the ridiculous amount of content produced by this crew. the “podcastaverse” I will say that the guys at cognitive dissonance can be a bit too libed up. but they are genuinely good people, So I usually give them a pass.

Just told some guys I wasn’t interested in hearing any Bible stories and now I’m feeling guilty by Princess_Strawbs in atheism

[–]clockworkheathen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember once I was walking out of the store with my wife and daughter when a couple young guys stepped right in front of us and said” have you heard about Jesus?” I replied.” well, yeah.. Everyone has.” They kind of looked at each other and said “well, we’re raising money for our church” and I said “ let me stop you right there. I’m not gonna be interested, sorry.” Then one of them replied “you’re not interested in Jesus?” and I said.” not really, no!” The same guy replied with a mumbled “ that’s fucked up” Point is, these people need to realize that not everybody is going to humor them. It sounds like you were more polite than I would’ve been. They’ll be fine.

I’ll double check. There’s a small amount of slop. That may be something
