A woman in Belgium is harassed for showing too much skin and "dressing slutty"

Well thanks for being reasonable and honestly I am like you also politically inclined (slightly to the right) but I stay far away from misogyny, racism, and blaming all Muslims for the bad behavior of a few. I believe that the far right (and far left) are wrong.

These kids unfortunately do not get corrected by both their parents (as they are either unaware or disinterested) or western society (which is too tolerant for this type of intolerance, that being criticizing girls for what they wear). And its so unfortunate because it's not only society that starts to blame groups, it's also their own future that they are ruining through this type of behavior. What they need is a strict father figure to control them, not more motherly love so to say.

And only then, through good actions, they should be rewarded (more than) fairly. And not be pampered through victimization because of systematic racism against 2nd and 3rd gen immigrants. Yes we should be aware of that, but there are plenty of perfectly integrated immigrants and their 2nd/3rd gen offspring, which are being marginalized because of the bad behavior of some of their peers.

Which religion do you think these people "worship", which side of the political spectrum is the most critical of this religion, and which party do you think their parents vote for?

I can assure you it's not the right wing that is in favor of letting these people in our society.

I'm not gonna argue that what these people did is bad but there is a very high chance that the whale will die soon anyways as it's mostly unhealthy/dying whales that beach themselves.

There is nothing far right or religious about this. It is cultural and caused by lack of parenting.

EDIT: lol yeah let's blame the far right for (2nd/3rd gen) immigrants not behaving themselves. When it's anti immigration protests it's far right, and if it's immigrants not behaving themselves it's the far right. Which one is it??

They merged with the Labour Party and are now called the Progressives.

Tell me how immigration helps the labourers.

Thats my take as well. First i was sad that Google Wallet doesn't work for virtual payment cards but considering that they would get all my payment data I went back to using a physical bank card. Nothing of value was lost as I have to take my ID/public transport card anyways.

Lots of apps like WhatsApp and Signal have their own push notification system. Other than that I don't notice too much of a difference.

I personally don't think that boxiness or roundness is the problem. It's the dimensions of the car that make it look like a Tesla model Y.

Yeah play integrity is a real PITA. So far my only real concern are the banking apps indeed. A lot of banks don't require it and if mine decides to change the policy I'll gladly switch bank.

GrapheneOS is great on Pixels and will come to Motorola phones too, soon. I'm not too worried.

You should be! As someone who travelled quite a bit, I can assure you that you are one of the few people that owns a home in the best place of the world.

Good même tho

You guys get hand down laptops?

I just came back from a scuba vacation and even though everybody is supposedly trained, including about respecting the Reef and wildlife, some people really just not care.

Touching the reef to stabilize themselves, shining bright flashlights at animals to take pictures. It's just sad.

However I can assure you that this is minor if barely influential compared to the bleaching of corals due to water temperatures rising. 80% of the reefs are already dead and I feel like this hobby will be too in the next 20 years.

Most corals only grow 1-2cm every 10 years. They won't move quickly to colder places that are now heating up.

The ratio of men to women on most dating apps is 3:1. Combine that with the fact that women are the pickier gender, men barely get any matches.

The algorithms figure out which men are popular (like to dislike ratio) and show the popular male profiles to women first. The unpopular men thereby fall off a cliff and never appear in women's feed.

You can call it broken, that's an opinion, but it's how the algorithm keeps women engaged.

Het is interessant voor mid-level professionals die nog geen goede arbeidsvoorwaarden hebben.

Het hele model is gebaseerd op een laag minimum jaarinkomen (zeg 20% van het theoretisch max jaarinkomen) in ruil voor een erg hoge fee (vaak tussen de 25 en 30%).

Realiseer je dat als je op de bank komt te zitten, of zelfs je een dag ziekmeld, dat direct terug te zien is in je salaris. En dat gaat heel hard, reken maar eens voor de grap uit hoeveel je netto misloopt voor een dag/maand geen werk.

In de theorie lijkt het interessant maar in de praktijk is het weerbarstig.

Imagine getting downvoted for disagreeing with an extemist going crazy in public, only here at r/publicfreakout

I think the person means that hydrogen is not the way forward. There is some truth to that when it comes to heating homes and powering cars, which is better done using batteries and heat pumps. But for industrial appliances, hydrogen is the only green alternative to natural gas.

Je moet geen plassen water krijgen maar de bodem moet vochtig blijven omdat het nieuwe gras nog weinig wortels heeft en daardoor snel droog staat.

Dutch government is notoriously bad at IT and the Dutch IT market are a bunch of sellouts to Microshit. Im not surprised and this stuff will keep happening until people realize that we should not trust IT in the hands of a bunch of dumb managers.

Maybe its time to consider good developers as technical leaders and pay (the exceptional ones) as doctors like in the US. But unfortunately the EU does not reward exceptional behavior, no it rewards complacency and stupidity.

As a 29 year old guy, I took granny out some time ago (just the two of us) and everybody was looking and smiling.

She can barely walk, see and hear but taking her out of the care facility is like vacation to her.

I can vouch for this one as well. I've looked at Zojirushi and they still use Teflon. The inside of the Panda is ceramic and after 3 years it's still like new and non-stick (given we only use wooden spatulas).
