  • We got the second kid when the first one was almost 4. It was pretty rough, we where just getting back our sleep, and went in 2+ years of irregular sleep. She is 2 and a half now and thankfully sleep is getting much better.

    If you have a kid and thinking about a second one, I would recommend don’t wait 3+ years, or wait 5+ years so you have a bit of time to recover.




  • I once saw a post from an American guy visiting family in Germany. They borrowed him a car so he could visit other family about 400KM away.

    The family that owned the car spend an entire day getting it checked out by a mechanic, making sure all the fluids where fine, getting the tire pressure just right, etc.

    He thought it was pretty funny because he drove double that distance every week just to go to work.


  • What kind of BS is that?

    “Ecofascism is “environmentalism through genocide”, opined Klein. Political researcher Alex Amend defined ecofascist belief as “The devaluing of human life—particularly of populations seen as inferior—in order to protect the environment viewed as essential to White identity.””

    Basically all the right wing nut bags that are popular now deny climate change. Trump even has his famous drill baby drill bit






  • I think you have a good point most Dutch people would say lets get Indonesian food today, while actually getting food you probably can’t find exactly the same in Indonesia.

    I would probably take D (I think it still has a tiny slice of Italy). Pizza and asian I can’t live without. I think there is still debate on the origin of fries)…



  • This can’t really be answered in a simple way. Like a lot of “traditional” European dishes use potatoes. But at some point they where not native to Europe. So does that count? Or something like New York style pizza, is that American? Because in that case the Netherlands for example has a lot of Indonesian dishes that are more variations on traditional Indonesian food (made by immigrants using more local ingredients).

    I think food is the best example why immigration and mixing of cultures can really improve humanity.
