Ik vond dit wel een goeie breakdown; iemand nog tegenargumenten of bepaalde missende details?

Wat ik me kan voorstellen is dat als je “enkel” een huis erft dat je dan opgezadeld wordt met belasting die je niet kunt betalen tot je het huis hebt verkocht; en als dat dan een slecht onderhouden geval is levert dat wellicht veel gedoe.

Verder kan ik me niet zo veel problemen indenken met verhoging van de erfbelasting. Jaarlijks gradueel verhogen lijkt me netjes, zodat mensen niet op 1 januari net vergeleken met de buurman op 31 december fors “buiten de boot vissen”, om teveel gezeur van jan/alleman te voorkomen.

Lunch is my favourite. Nothing beats a fine sandwich with cheese.

I agree. the only thing that we can say scientifically is that someone has a specific amount of traits we have associated with the social label ‘woman’. These traits are biologically speaking primarily related to reproduction and which role one would be able to fulfill the most effectively. Which does leave room for being able to fulfill both reproductive roles in some way or another.

Our social needs to mark ourselves and others as one of the two is deeply ingrained, but as it’s such a grey area under the hood it would make sense to have a more fluid relationship with the topic.

Plus a footrub… is quite something as a first. I mean, what happened to asking someone out for a drink for starters.

For this exact purpose. To impress your ex? Sounds fair enough.

Maybe the girl at the party will get jealous.

I wanted to pedantically correct you about the a / an… but then realised you got me.

Don’t bother, you’re talking with a random idiot.

Edit: I was joking, check his name.

Well to be fair, to get out of the situation that makes you feel that way is pretty similar as to remove yourself from it.

But I’m being pedantic, I do get what you mean of course. Personally I’m not really against ending ones own life per se, only the dramatic options that usually lead to all kinds of trauma should be looked at. We can handle this as a society with a gentle support for those who’d like to pass away.

It can be an acceptable solution to ones pain; but for the sake of your surroundings it should perhaps not be the first.

A few comments below taught me that it apparently originates from this meme where it was a mix of a typo and a loving description of a suicidal person.

I assume you live in the USA? In Europe most coffees are just singular items you order, with exceptions in buffets / sometimes hotels.

You forget the random book/magazine that’s read and the crosswords/doodling on paper.

Of course. Perhaps I should add that I’m not from a native-English speaking country. I’ve seen lots of times where people, mostly not so highly educated (which is a large segment of the population), just don’t see obvious satire as it is or in their hate make the jokes part of their argument set.

Partly because they only understand half of it or are willingly blinding themselves and just further fueling their rage.

Just saying, source / certificates might mitigate some of those issues or at least make them easier to debunk for the ones who they forward their ‘evidence’ too.

I’d like to believe that as well, but sadly I’ve seen even more obvious stuff that some of the people I know use to validate their world views, even when it’s clearly satire.

They just interpret the whole thing wrong and somehow filter jokes. And they use it, or parts of it, as fuel for their beliefs and share parts within their community without context.

I tried learning Esperanto through Duolingo, but was a bit disappointed. It was still a bit inconsistent here and there; I was hoping for a ‘perfect’ language without exceptions.

Still think it’s a great initiative though.

I could see some harsh humour in it as well, but it should clearly be labeled “parody”. The way it was shared now is a terrible idea, but we’ve all seen it coming…

All media should have some securely signed source that’s easily viewable and pops up at the start and end of the video (and is visible in the pause screen or on hover, also in case of an image). If it was not signed it should show that as well, like web TLS certificates.

If no internet is available it should show that it cannot verify the source without a connection. There should also be a proposed default date in which the baked in certificate might get less secure, which should also show in the media.

French fries!
