Was für Lied wird da gespielt?
It scares me that the center is moving ever more to the (far) right all over Europe. At least this is also happening in the Netherlands, where the supposedly (center) right VVD, after attempting a cabinet with the extreme right PVV, is now pretending the PVV is as dangerous as PvdA-Groenlinks (socdem/green, actually center left).
Meanwhile, VVD’s leader Yeşilgöz has accused a singer who wanted to play music at a jewish football competition, but then when he arrived there refused as there were stands in favour of zionism, of antisemitism and ‘hatred of jews’. Of course the singer then got lots of death threats, and he left the country for a while. Yeşilgöz didn’t apologise.
Asylum seekers are now also broadly seen as the cause of all problems. The center going extreme like this seems like a major warning sign...
As someone who likes inane bullshit (Time Cube), I do prefer it if people write it themselves instead of pulling it from the bullshitting machine.
Het gaat hier om de hoofdrailnetconcessie, zoals in het artikel wordt uitgelegd. De NS krijgt steevast de vergunning om het grootste deel van het Nederlandse spoorwegnet te bedienen. Op kleinere delen rijden inderdaad ook andere bedrijven.
Maar je moet er toch niet aan denken dat het hart van ons spoorwegnet wordt opgeknipt door een stel kutbedrijfjes, en dat je dan ineens allemaal onnodige overstappen krijgt, alleen om de marktfetisj van een paar politici te bevredigen.
Straks twee keer overstappen tussen Rotterdam en Amsterdam? :(
This is a great safety feature! Instead of printing the bills, have them all be drawn by hand one after another by you! I hope you like repetitive work.
Eh, this annoying ‘it’s too difficult for those primitive ancient humans, so aliens’ claim happens for Stonehenge as well, I’m pretty sure.
I really hate how these dumb myths deny that humans have been able to build great and complex structures for a long time too, though.
What do you mean? A monarch is generally addressed as ‘Majesty’ or ‘(Royal) Highness’ (depending on rank), the Pope is addressed as ‘Holiness’. ‘Excellency’ is generally used for civil titles; I don’t think it’s strange to use ‘Excellency’ for the President of the European Commission. What would you use otherwise, ‘Miss President’ or something? That seems really over the top to me.
Seems more like the original picture has been used as an image prompt for an AI image generator, to just make it look a bit different.
Though I may be misunderstanding and stating the obvious.
Met een Israëlisch wapensysteem. Ik vraag me af hoe zij hem getest hebben...
According to a Dutch article I read they are actually required (‘... Swimmers also have to use a yellow swimming buoy when going into the water.’)
Zoals jullie zien, heb ik het icoontje veranderd. Misschien is hij wat te abstract (voor Mondriaan echter niet abstract genoeg). Ik heb ook nog wat geprobeerd in de stijl van Jip en Janneke, maar dat zag er toch niet erg herkenbaar uit:
Als jullie nog leuke ideeën hebben, brand los!
National rail can be (at least) perfectly decent, which it is in the Netherlands. Too bad the EU wants to have it be fucked up by ‘competition’: the European Commission just now sued the Dutch state for giving the consession for the main part of the railway network to the national rail company NS.
