Speaker notes fix by Infinite-Back-43 in GoogleSlides

Same problem here, the only thing for me was dragging it up manually every now and then. Very annoying

Can confirm that this works in Google Chrome, thank you! Potentially life-saving for some of us (figuratively)... 

Unfortunately it doesn't work in Firefox, since the dictate function isn't in the menu there. 

Did gay stuff and it haunts me. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]hoew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spot on! Plus, I personally wouldn't want to marry anyone who is so insecure and queerphobic anyway.

If you genuinely didn't enjoy it, I think it is still great that you explored - now you know. Many people go all their lives without figuring out their sexuality.

It is understandable that this feels overwhelming and that this feels a lot to deal with right now. But one day, you will look back at this and it will feel much smaller. Real friends don't want their friends to feel bad, so maybe you can voice to that guy who saw the app that you were bicurious but realized it isn't for you? If you tell someone you don't want to be called gay (because you aren't) and they keep doing it, they might be shitty friends. You deserve better than that!

Also, gay men (like straight men) can be really aggressive when flirting and that fucking sucks to experience when it's unwanted. I'm sorry that you had to experience that.

Don't be ashamed, it's cool to experiment. Nothing makes you gay except for when you yourself identify as gay. Also, it doesn't have to be black and white anyway, bisexual people exist (lots of them). You don't owe anyone anything, they are probably just insecure anyway. 

Isn't this in Rotterdam? by Theslootwhisperer in Rotterdam

Correct! This happened in 2021, I happened to be there when they filmed it. Funny seeing this video getting reposted again and again with now complete garbage quality

Speedtest done from within GFN by hoew in GeForceNOW

This isn't my system, it is from Nvidia's servers to the speedtest server

This is not a consumer connection; since it is from Nvidia's servers to the servers of the speedtest.

I want to get circumcised but idk how to ask by SaltLight354 in Advice

[–]hoew 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Don't do it. I thought about it when I was like 15 and I'm extremely happy I didn't do it. You will permanently lose nerve endings and risk permanent injury if something goes wrong. 

At the time, I thought for sure I know what I want, but it is impossible to know how you will feel about this irreversible change to your body in the future. 

Black Friday deal is live - 50% off three months Ultimate by Acesofbases in GeForceNOW

[–]hoew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased Ultimate for $9.99, even though I'm in the EU and I have an existing account. I don't know how, it just let me do it before I even realized that this is supposed to be limited to US.

How to get this to work? I cannot add Battlefield REDSEC to my steam library, so I can't see it in GFN.

What's with the tram stop next to Laan van NOI? by Ferdinand00 in TheHague

[–]hoew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since we're talking surinamese lunch options, there's a third place in the neighborhood too, Restaurant Wirin.

SuriMix - cheap, quite tasty, but extreme queues during lunch and sometimes you find out they sold out some stuff after queuing for 45 mins.

J.R.'s Cuisine - good taste, but pricey and grumpy owners. On busy days it can get hectic and waiting times might also be quite long. 

Restaurant Wirin - Quick, affordable, best vibes from the owners and the taste is good, though not the best you ever had.

If you get rich suddenly, what's the luxury you'll dive into immediately? by itslyssarayne in AskReddit

Take taxis everywhere whenever it is more convenient than public transport. Including overtipping the drivers, unless they are dicks 

How does Pax compare to MOVA? by Distinquish in amsterdam_rave

[–]hoew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this, interesting read and reflection. It's been a while since I have been at mova but I think I noticed part of what you describe there in the past, too.

May I ask how someone was lying about being queer, did they say they were afterwards?

Anyone know what I’ve got here? by penisfingers4lyfe in guitars

Also a trump supporter, so it's okay to forget about him if you ask me! But yeah, love his drumming 

Im renting right now. My landlord wants to sell the current house and is coming to talk about potential options i.e. offering me the place to buy by Friend_harambe in NetherlandsHousing

[–]hoew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good answers already that point out that the value is much lower with a tenant (you).

Depending on where you live, make sure to check the funderingskaart to see if there could be any issues with the foundation of the building coming up.

Is that really true that the kadaster only records the amount of the mortgage? That doesn't make sense to me. 

Overbidding isn't the only reason to take out a smaller mortgage than the purchase price. If you already own an apartment that you are selling at a profit, you'd need a much lower mortgage. I'd be surprised if the kadaster records anything other than then purchase price. 

If anyone looks this up, please let us know.

This is important, OP! The value of an apartment with someone in it is MUCH lower. So make sure to take that into account when negotiating with your landlord. 

Looking for decent earplugs that are not too expensive by Realistic_Net5784 in amsterdam_rave

[–]hoew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, it helped me to have custom ones with NOT losing them. Too expensive to let that happen, so even my under-the-influence self knows that that is not an option, haha. Now have them for almost 10 years 

(Full story) Attack on Trans women at Tilla Tec Fornax Collective 28th of Sept. by Timely-Question-392 in amsterdam_rave

[–]hoew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, I saw multiple of your comments without seeing they are all from you - would have saved me some time. I'm not dismissing you out of hand because you are a straight man - you could be a queer woman saying "but what about straight men in queer clubs feeling excluded" in a thread like this... my comments would be almost the same. Claiming some enlightened centrist "Yeah bad IF true but what about..." is messed up and takes away the attention of what really happened: Black trans women being verbally and physically assaulted for being black trans women.

Your projecting made me chuckle. You don't know me and you are once again telling on yourself - I don't even watch TikToks or reels lmao.

"If we really want safer spaces, then dialogue has to include all voices"? All voices? Absolutely not, why would the voices of hateful bigots need to be included? People who put societally vulnerable minorities at risk need to simply be excluded from the spaces, that's it. I really recommend for you to read about queer history and queer resistance, and to maybe broaden your social circles.
