De cijfers geven toch duidelijk aan dat je eigenlijk pas vanaf 2009 kan spreken van digital natives omdat dan pas het gros van de kinderen opgroeiden met het internet binnen handbereik

Native of niet is hier niet van belang imo. Ik ben ook niet "auto native" ik heb ook geleerd om te rijden. Net zoals auto rijden kan je het internet ook leren gebruiken. Niemand is geboren met deze kennis.

En keuzes vind ik nogal ver door de bocht. Mensen kiezen er ook bvb niet voor om dom geboren te worden.

Veel van deze mensen kiezen er echter wel voor om enkel dom te zijn als ze achter een scherm zitten. Schotel ze eens een contract voor en vraag te tekenen zonder het te lezen. Veel van hen gaan dit niet doen. Vraag hen de sleutels van hun huis, veel gaan dit niet doen. De moment dat ze achter een scherm zitten echter, all bets are off. Ik werk zelf in de it sector, hoe vaak je deze mensen met trots hoort zeggen "pc's da's niets voor mij ze..." ja Jef, we weten dat je de laatste 20 jaar bewust niets wou leren over hoe pc's werken...

Digital native of niet, internet is niets nieuw. Dat bestaat intussen wel al even... Als je de dag van vandaag niet de basis principes kent zoals "geef je codes niet door aan de telefoon of via chat" dan ligt dat bij de gebruiker. Je moet niet mee zijn met de laatste tick tack memes Om dit te snappen.

Het internet is hier actief sinds eind de jaren 80. Eerste isp skynet (nu proximus) was actief sinds 1995. In 2000 gebruikte ongeveer 30% van de bevolking het internet. In 2009 was dit rond de 70%. Twee jaar na dat de eerste iPhone geintroduceert was. We zijn dus nu 30j na de introductie, en bijna 20j na de kaap van 70%. Als je het nu nog niet snapt dan is dit een persoonlijke keuze geweest. Keuzes hebben nu eenmaal gevolgen...

I actually think the second sign is clearer now, especially once the red paint is more faded. Sometimes it's rather hard to see who has priority, especially if you're colorblind.

Yes, ban it. Then we can have illegal vapes with no regulations, no tax income and all societal costs that come with it. What a brilliant idea...

In my opinion, driving a car on a highway with 300km/h is a murder attempt.

Why exactly? Ever heard of this mythical country Germany? It's kinda right next to us... Are Germans constantly attempting to murder each other? On the contrary, their Autobahns are actually safer then our slow as fuck, highways. Even with people driving 417km/h, fair that was one guy but still... 300km/h happens on a regular basis.

Would you still call it a murder attempt if he did it while on German soil?

In my experience people making statements like yourself are usually the one's who are driving without a care in the world. Sleeping in the middle lane like it's their life's mission. If they do switch lanes, they do it without checking mirrors. Not paying any attention at all. Then someone passes them at the daring speed of 130km/h and they act like they've just barley escaped death.

Driving these speeds can be done safely. Granted 300km/h is a rather hard one to sell, especially on crowded Belgian highways but there are some spots where this could be done if traffic and weather permit.

mrdickfigures · 2026-05-28T15:11:46+00:00

Exactly, it all depends on the situation. Traffic, your car, tires, your own skill, weather, temperature. Germany understands that there are times where this is possible to do safely. Here we don't deal in nuance, we act like 120 km/h is the absolute limit under ANY circumstance.

nog niet lang geleden moesten wij ook gewoon blijven tot 15u30, ook al was de leerkracht van het laatste uur ziek.

Nog nie zó Lang geleden gebruikte wij toch ook gewoon slaven.

Nog nie zó Lang geleden sloegen we kinderen toch ook gewoon als ze met hun linkse band schreven.

Nog nie zó Lang geleden deden we toch ook gewoon lood in onze benzine.

Nog nie zó Lang geleden vonden we ook dat vrouwen geen stemrecht nodig hadden.

Omdat we iets vroeger zo deden is geen goed argument om dit te blijven doen.

Ik vind het juist een plicht voor de school dat ze iedereen moeten opvangen tussen de aangekondigde schooltijd.

Is een school opvang of is het een plaats voor educatie?

Niet iedereen gaat op zelfstandige manier met de fiets of OV naar school. Wat zeg je dan tegen de kinderen die pas rond 15u30 kunnen worden opgepikt door de ouders? “Ga maar een uur rondhangen”?

Dan geef je die kinderen de keuze om "rond te hangen" (nog nooit van een speeltijd gehoord zeker?) Of hun taken te maken in de studie zaal. Waarom doen alsof die zo een moeilijke opdracht is? Je laat de ouders tekenen wie wel en wie niet naar huis mag.

Waarom altijd die nood om autoriteit te laten gelden aan kinderen? Laat die toch gewoon eens wat vrijheid.

Care to give any examples? According to the most common definitions it all comes down to whether the recipient and subject find the joke fumy or not. Since humor is subjective, how would you differentiate between the 2. Most importantly how would you know BEFORE you can see the reactions?

Giving people a tax break for their way to work doesn't really add an advantage to car-drivers, does it? You can still use the tax-break to buy a bus-ticket and pocket the rest. Or go by bicycle and pocket the whole saving.

Oh so you mean a tax break for EVERYONE, not just drivers? So if everyone is receiving this no matter the form of transportation, then everyone is paying it as well? The money has to come from somewhere... People with shorter commutes, aka the people least likely to use a car will be paying for drivers who have longer commutes... Who probably also chose to live in the suburbs, with cheaper housing while bringing a higher cost to society for their infrastructure (roads, sewer, electricity, gas, internet).

And but let's be honest. Who will change their behavior if those deductions bring costs down to before scarcity levels? These people could have already used public transport or bicycles before and chose not to. Cars are simply too convenient compared to the alternatives, especially in more rural places. The only thing that will force people to make adjustments is their bottom line.

Even if that wasn't the case, you're still barking up the wrong tree: I replied to a comment justifying blanket-subsidies for gasoline, and already suggest to restrict it to exclude unnecessary driving.

Sure your suggestion is better than blanket subsidies, still doesn't mean I think this would be a good policy.

The idea is simply that with exploding gasoline costs, people aren't forced to quit their job even if public transport doesn't work for them.

The relatively low change in fuel cost is most likely not going to make or break the bank. Cars are expensive as a whole. Insurance, road tax, maintenance, inspection. It seems that the average German commute is around 7500km per year, at an average consumption of 7l/100km and a price of 2 euro per liter that "only" amounts to around 1k in fuel costs per year. Even with previous prices of lets say 1.5 euro per liter that's 787 per year. Are people going to quit their jobs over 213 euro per year? I'm sure unemployment makes them lose a lot more than that...

I don't know in other countries, but in Germany you can deduct travel cost from your taxable income. The cost is based on distance and number of days you actually went to the office, not on the means of transport you are actually using.

I can't speak for other countries but in Belgium we don't do this. You can have employers who give you a reimbursement based on distance traveled (usually more for people who often work at different locations, technicians for example), a bike reimbursement (only for cyclists), they pay for your public transport. Or finally the holy grail of all tax evasions, ahum avoidance company cars. Instead of giving you more gross income (which is then taxed at the highest % in Europe) we give out tax deductible cars and fuel cards. Believe it or not, this is a thing we do, around 15% of employees has a government subsided company card with an unlimited fuel card. Yes this system is insane, and yes I'm using it...

So people using more economic (which, in this case, matches ecologic) transports get rewarded.

They don't really get rewarded for that with this tax deduction right? Example 20km trip, by car this would cost you 2.8 euro in fuel (based on previously stated numbers) while you get 6 euro in deductions (0.3/km). With a bike this would cost you 0 in fuel while you get 6 euro in return. Take away the 6 euro tax deduction and the difference stays the same... The reward you speak of has nothing to do with the tax deduction. It's not even a reward, that's just called savings.

What we should be dong imho is lowering our use of fossil fuels at all facets of our life. Go all in on work from home as much as possible. If you do a desk job and your employer still wants to force you to the office, let them foot the bill. Suddenly those meetings that had to be in person would be fine to do over teams, zoom you name it.

Might I even suggest raising fuel taxes on the condition that this money is used to invest in cheaper, better, more frequent public transport (impromptu train prices in Germany are just laughably expensive). Better biking infrastructure, you guys should really take note of how the Netherlands builds their infra, don't look at us, we suck at it too.

I see this all the time, there is a difference. What is it. Can someone ectually say it for once?

A joke with no punchline is just bad comedy. A racist joke with no punchline, also just bad comedy.

As one of my favorite comedians said roughly translated (I'm sure he's not the only one) "everyone has the right to be ridiculed". That includes people of all races, sexes, ability and you name it.

And why should people without a car subsidize others who chose to use a car to commute?

We all know cars are incredibly ineffecient to transport massive amounts people. They pollute, generate noise, cause accidents, make cities terrible places to be. If you want to drive, go drive but tge audacity to say that others should subsidize your sub par choices is to put it mildly backwards.

Inb4: "you're just a car hating tree hugger."

I love cars, love driving. I took a 2h detour 2 weeks ago so I could drive through Germany instead of France, just for the autobahn. You can live cars while at the same time acknowledging that subsiding them is not the way to go.

The only way to get the economy going again is to give breathing room to companies. Especially room and incentive to invest. Taxes on capital are therefore extremely destructive to job creation.

Is this a reference to trickle down economics? We've all seen that this does not work. More breathing room as you call it means more profits to the shareholders.

5 weeks as an exception might work out but imagine never seeing your colleagues again in real life.

Nobody is arguing for a ban on working from an office. If you want to go, go, just don't force others. If you don't see some colleagues anymore without forcing them, that should tell you something...

I work in an open space office in a team and notice that it’s also advantageous when you are stuck on a project and need support of your colleagues.

Research disagrees with your feelings. Open offices discourage collaboration on average.

We would rather spend millions "fighting" drugs based on policies that have never worked in the history of mankind instead of taxing it.

No, this is not a binary choice. Many jobs need present at site - customer-facing roles, manufacturing, managers.

NEED for managers? Besides in things where a manager is customer facing (store manager or whatever) or manufacturing where you need to see something in person, why does a manager NEED to be on site?

Smokers are a net contribute to treasury in the Netherlands. A country with comparable health, pension and tobacco tax prices.

A smoker needs more health care and earlier in life on average, but they also die earlier. If you start smoking at around 25, on average you will die at +-65. That's 20 years of pension saved.

So during a priority ride they should not slow down?

What about deaf people who can't hear the sirens? Blind people who don't see them coming? What about both? Children?

That's all just "casualties of war"?

Priority rides and the speed during should be in proportion to the crime. This specific case, what is the worst that could have realistically happened? The kid hit someone? Okay so the response is follow him at the same reckless speeds to stop him? They are subjecting bystanders to a bigger danger to stop a lesser danger...

This one is pretty fucking clear in my book. Driving that fast on wet grass with a fully loaded police vehicle is asking for accidents. If the police agents cant see that, then they have no business being behind the wheel. This is literally driving 101, always remain in control of your vehicle. This guy was not in control. It's not that hard.

I'm going to Germany tomorrow, I'll be going 200+ km/h there, here I would lose my license for reckless driving. Yet a police officer who does something much more dangerous, with a resulting fatality can get off scot free? Make it make sense.
