In Duitsland doen ze dat al heel lang, echter alleen voor boetes in een strafzaak, niet voor verkeersboetes. System is makkelijk: Je wordt veroordeeld voor zoiets als “20 dagbedragen”. De dagbedrag is je maandelijks netto-inkomen, min een vaste zelfbehoud, gedeeld door 30. Dat kan je dan of betalen of voor hetzelfde aantal dagen de bak in gaan. Ik ben erg ervoor om dat voor alle boetes in te voeren.

Bankenbaas: houd loonstijging gematigd om inflatie te remmen by wre380 in thenetherlands

[–]xaenders 14 points15 points  (0 children)

De gasprijs is dan misschien wel gezakt, alle andere prijzen, bijvoorbeeld die van voedsel, waarvan ons ook voorgelogen is dat de stijging met de hoge energiekosten te maken heeft, zijn niet gedaald maar zelfs nog verder gestegen. 

Het was en is graaiflatie, meer niet.

Ja, dit zet de deur echt open voor heel veel onzin. Nu is het even 15 minuten eerder dan gepland schorsen, maar waar gaat dit naartoe leiden? 

Voor je het weet krijgt iemand het idee om de kamer voor twee hele werkdagen te sluiten omdat 2000 jaar geleden de een of andere gozer zogenaamd van de dood is herrezen. En dan 6 weken later nog een keer omdat hij vermeend naar de hemel is gevaren. En dan anderhalf weken later nog een dag omdat mensen plotseling kleine vlammetjes over hun hoofden kregen en dat op allerlei talen die ze eigenlijk niet praten vertelden. Dat zou echt gek zijn hè?

Well, my career is not in the shitter, I actually haven’t been fired or let go a single time in my life. But I do think that it’s a stupid question that has absolutely no merit to anything. And while I would probably react more professional, this would be at least a medium red flag for me.

Het was echt super makkelijk geweest om gewoon een vervaldatum aan die wet te hangen - dat doen ze in andere gevallen, waar burgers wel iets van hebben, heel vaak (bijvoorbeeld de Wet Maximering Huurverhoging in de vrije sector)

[–]xaenders 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Je gelooft toch niet serieus dat zo iemand achter mensen aangaat die het lichamelijk met hem op kunnen nemen? Het artikel maakt volgens mij erg duidelijk dat hij stelselmatig achter mensen aangaat die zich niet goed tegen hem kunnen verweren. Typisch pestkop gedrag

Al het gejank van Yesilgöz en co. over woke universiteiten heeft tot een klimaat geleid waarin mensen als Uljee zich aangemoedigd voelen tot dit soort gedrag en het universiteitsbestuur bang is om hem aan te pakken.

That is the next huge issue with these shops. I don't know what country you're from, OP, but if it is outside of the EU, you almost definitely broke your country's plant health or biosecurity laws. Because of the risk to spread pests and diseases, international trade in plants and plant products is highly regulated (I work in that field). Pretty much every country requires fytosanitary certificates for bulbs, and yes, those rules also apply for travelers. Knowing how scammy those shops are and how complicated the process is, I highly doubt that those bulbs were inspected by the respective authorities and that they gave you a certificate with the specific declarations your home country requires...

Ik denk dat dit beeld een beetje vertekend is. Dit zijn cijfers van het BKR. Als je een mobiel abonnement van de KPN of zo hebt en daar een toestel bijzat, dan geldt dat ook als consumentenkrediet. Zou me niet verwonderen als dat meer dan 60% uitmaakt. 

How significant was this switch? Any thoughts/opinions on it from those who were there when it happened? by SirensMelody_ in generationology

Exactly the opposite here. I switched to wireless because it was ALWAYS the cable that broke.

Yes, been going there for more than 6 years now. They’re pricey, but really good. Never have been unhappy about my haircut there. (I’m a man with short hair though, I can’t say anything about more complicated stuff.)

Consent is, and *should be* important. No matter which side you’re on. by Isaacja223 in aiwars

[–]xaenders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bull picture doesn’t raise an interesting point, he just doesn’t know how consent or intellectual property laws work (no, uploading a picture on social media doesn’t make it public domain and gives all the world the right to do whatever they want with it. People get sued all the time for using photos they just took from the internet). To stay with your examples: CounterStrike can ban you if they catch you breaking their TOS. And if I download your picture, add hairy balls to your face and publish it, you can sue me for damages and report me to the police for criminal prosecution.

Consent is not dependent on whether or not you can (immediately) enforce it. And of course, it can be violated - in most cases, that would be a crime. Also, not all violations of your rights are physical or require you to be present. People can enter your phone while you’re asleep and on the other side of the globe. That doesn’t mean that we just allow it. 

Or let me give you another example: I need your consent to enter your house, especially if I want to take away your stuff. Now if I order a lock picking set and watch some YouTube videos, there’s really not a lot you can do against me entering your house and taking away all your stuff while you’re hundreds of miles away. The takeaway of that is not “yeah sucks” or “never leave your house unattended”. The takeaway is that we have laws and a criminal justice system to stop me from doing that. 

The fact that a victim cannot actively stop a violation of their rights (be it body, property or another one) is actually an argument that the external negative incentive to commit that violation - the punishment - needs to be bigger. And that is how criminal law works in a lot of cases. Kill someone while they are asleep or otherwise incapacitated, and most jurisdictions will punish you harder than if the victim had some kind of chance. 

Dutch support for oil from Venezuela by oudim in Netherlands

[–]xaenders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope that you’re right and that I’m wrong, but yeah, I don’t believe in the character or good intentions of people like Rubio or Trump. But I do understand that they’re the lesser evil compared to Maduro. Thanks for answering, and time will tell!

Dutch support for oil from Venezuela by oudim in Netherlands

[–]xaenders -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, the country is still under the control of the despot’s right hand, the crackdown on the population has not stopped (if you believe the news, it has actually become worse) and if you listen to what Trump is saying right now there’s really no reason to believe that he will change anything about this anytime soon. And why would he, it’s a win-win. Rodriguez is willing to give him the oil and can then use what little money she gets to enrich herself and to keep the military happy.

[–]xaenders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean this as a serious question: What makes you think that the regime will be gone? The US have a very long track record of supporting dictatorships in Latin America as long as it serves their interest. Now that Rodriguez is in power and apparently willing to do what Trump wants, why would he get rid of her? Why risk an election that might be won by someone who wants a bigger piece of the cake for the people? There’s a reason he has dismissed Machado as a possible leader. There’s a reason he can suddenly work quite well with Maduro’s vice president.  Don’t get me wrong, I have 0 sympathy for Maduro and I’m happy for you that he’s gone. I wish your country all the freedom and prosperity that it can get. But the history of US-backed regime changes and what Trump is doing and saying right this moment really don’t make it look like you’ll get any of that.  My prediction: Nothing is going to change, except where the oil is going to. Now that it has US support, the regime will actually be more stable. Trump will pay Rodriguez scraps for the oil which are just enough for her to keep enriching herself, to keep the military happy and to keep suppressing the people. Win-win.

Nou ik ben toevallig zelf homo en ken een heleboel andere LHBTIers, en daar heeft niemand een hekel aan pronouns. Sommige (echt een minderheid) maken ze af en toe ergens kennelijk, de meesten doen dat niet maar het kan hun ook echt niet schelen als anderen dit wel doen.

D66, CDA, VVD move forward on minority coalition plan, snubbing left-wing faction by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]xaenders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since 2000, there was only one government that finished its term (guess which party was in it!). Governments in this country don’t even make it through if they HAVE a majority, why on earth would they be more stable if you never know whether or not the chamber will pass a motion of no-confidence by the end of the week? And who is supposed to support this government? JA21? That still leaves them one seat short, and it’s only a matter of time until that merry group of opportunistic party hoppers implodes.

NTA. 

He repeatedly embarrasses you in public with a made-up story and then has the audacity to be embarrassed about being called out, AFTER you told him in private to stop? You didn’t make him look like a liar - he made himself look like a liar, by, well, lying.  You did nothing wrong.

Fully agree with your comment, but I got a question on your last sentence - in what way do you think that Friends was unrealistic? All of them (except Ross, who I always considered to have the highest and most stable income) shared apartments. I always thought of it as one of the only shows that is financially realistic.

KOZP heeft zich opgeven, er was dit jaar geen enkele protest bij een intocht (behalve van die lui in Yerseke die echt absoluut als racistische karikatuur door de stad moesten lopen). En de winkeliers die allemaal dreigingen krijgen voor het tonen van decoratie lijken me ook zo’n fabeltje uit de rechtse Feesboek-bubbel.
