I absolutely agree.

I like old cars, but the point is there will be a point at which getting a car that is as uncomplicated as a 1990s Japanese sedan will end. In 20 years time you’d have to deal with all sorts of electric and software issues.
It used to be that you could just take out the cassette player and insert a Bluetooth radio, for instance. In modern cars everything is integrated software and it sure as hell won’t be maintained by car manufacturers after 10 years at most.
Technically I didn’t, so who is putting words in whose mouth?
For now. In twenty years time the current fleet of newish cars will be the old junk.
The Chinese government are a ruthless immoral authoritarians. Say what you want about economic systems, but fuck authoritarians.
In Europe (in my case the Netherlands, but it’s similar in surrounding countries) you cannot pass on the right and you can get fined for it. If you do pass on the right you’re taking a bigger risk because it is not expected.
You can also get fined for staying in the left or middle lane for too long. But that’s somewhat rare. You can get away with it a bit to pass an extra truck (our trucks speed limit is slower) or if the right lane is full and slower than the lane to the left of it, but don’t drive excessively slow on the left. Especially on the Autobahn.
In Dutch, the only (one) is “de enige”. People often use “de enigste”, which actually means the cutest. Enig -> enigste.
“Ik ben als enigste over” “Ja, schattig ben je zeker”
"“Ich bin der Einzigste, der noch übrig ist” “Ja, du bist wirklich süß”
“I’m the only one left.” “Yeah, cute you sure are”
My school taught this whole convoluted system that was meant to help students with multiple tenses, but I just learned to apply the “ik loop” mnemonic which is so effortless (to native speakers at least.)
Sometimes I have to think once or twice about soft ketchup/'t Kofschip for the past participle, but that’s about it.

I’ve have and have had multiple mechanical keyboards, with both blues and browns. I also have the Logi MX Keys S.
I think I prefer my cheap ass Dell keyboard at the office though.
It’s kind of funny how McCain and Romney were/are the voice of reason in the GOP. We didn’t know how good we had it. Or rather how much worse it could get.
The people will elect anyone who is best at pretending to hear them while offering only overly simplistic solutions to complex problems. Wilders, like Trump, is surrounded by incompetent buffoons.
Geert Wilders’ party is the largest party, but that doesn’t mean the majority voted for him. I would say generally 25 out of 150 seats go to parties like Wilders’ party.
This time a lot of people voted Wilders as a protest vote (37 seats in total), but I expect a lot of the votes to return to the center-right party during the next elections.
People are fed up with a lot of mismanagement in our government, but they punish center-right coalitions by voting even further on the right while blaming the left (even though most of the left hasn’t ever been part of the government coalition).
I bet that if you take away the housing and cost of living crises, people wouldn’t be taking about immigration so much. It would help tremendously if the government wouldn’t mismanage the asylum procedures as much as it does.
I own two shoe factories and a cotton farm, you?
On one side my grandfather died roughly 6 months after my grandmother died. On the other side my grandmother outlived my grandfather by 33 years and counting.
It’s only news when GOP members say something sensible.
Er means that in English, Frisian, and Dutch too.
I just have a d

It’s The Mirror we’re taking about.
This meme is an example of how the superstructure maintains the base.
It’s ideology misdirecting attention away from class conscientiousness. If we’re angry about a perceived cultural wrong, we’re not paying attention to how wages have stagnated while productivity has soared.
Maybe Marxism, at least as a diagnostic tool, isn’t such a bad thing after all.
