Hmmm, if this were in proportion to body volume then it may lead to an infinite cycle of the ice cream getting larger -> the body getting larger -> the icecream getting larger -> etc. Depending on the frequency of course.
Hmmm yeah, now that you mention it I do remember a few occasions of launching soy milk throughout the kitchen. Still I prefer it over the second one though. After it's been opened once, it's much less in the way.
Many of the new bottle caps I encounter will actively push back into the closed position, meaning I have to keep them out of the way when pouring if I don't want to pour over the cap. Since I tend to encounter them on drink cartons rather than bottles, because I don't drink soda etc, it becomes even more annoying. Bottles you can turn whichever way, but drink cartons need to be kept at a certain angle for optimal pouring. Quite often the cap is in the way and there isn't really a nice place to put it.
This is even more frustrating because I never lost these caps anyway, I always threw them away with the packaging. I understand that it probably helps in the bigger picture, but for me personally it solves nothing and is incredibly annoying.
Edit: two examples
This one is fine, it snaps into a position that's handy and out of the way:
This one is very annoying. It'll stay in this position and requires constant force to keep out of this position. When opening or closing the packaging the attachment point also rotes, meaning it's always in the wrong place:
I guess it's similar, but here in the Netherlands we have "fresh" pizza's at the supermarket. They're kind of in-between frozen pizza's and a pizza delivery in terms of price, but imo they're actually by far the best. For 6-7 euros you get a pretty big pizza with fresh toppings, that's done faster than a frozen pizza or waiting for delivery, and also tastes really good. In the Netherlands it's common to live very close to a supermarket, so for me it's be like a 2 min bike ride to get myself a pizza.
Kinda makes sense though. I'd expect images where it's actually labelled as "an Indian person" to actually over represent people wearing this kind of clothing. An image of an Indian person doing something mundane in more generic clothing is probably more often than not going to be labelled as "a person doing X" rather than "An Indian person doing X". Not sure why these authors are so surprised by this
I try to (except from here I guess). I feel like a lot of political discussions here lack any nuance, and are often very US-centric. I'm moderately left wing myself, but I still often feel like I have little in common with the sometimes extremely left viewpoints here. They are usually also seem to be defended in a very black and white way. If you don't agree you're quickly deemed a fascist or nazi.
Honestly, I feel like online discussions often don't really achieve anything. Differing opinions are downvoted and often met with name-calling or accusations. I'd rather discuss in-person with friends and colleagues across the political spectrum, that tends to actually lead to a friendly sharing of thoughts rather than the unsatisfactory hate spewing you get online.
Depends on your definition of "know". Honestly nowadays I don't feel too scared to try something in any language.
I'm most proficient in Java and Python. In my free time I nowadays spend most of my time messing around with Haskell, Julia, or Rust. And I have some basic knowledge in a lot of other languages, including C, C++, C#, Kotlin, Groovy, Prolog, JavaScript, SQL, etc, etc.
But as I said in the beginning, I'm not too scared of learning something new. If someone were to ask me for a job where I'd be using Go or Kotlin or something then I'd be fairly confident that I could adjust quite quickly.
I was beginning to think that I could go this day without any "joke" or remark that would exclude me from the group "men" because I'm not into women, but here it is. I was almost getting worried that it took so long today :/
Haha, when I heard about it I was expecting as much. It'd be pretty impressive if it went smoothly with the amount of testing they seemed to have done. Still an interesting project, curious how it'll evolve.
Disagree. I used to spend time on more energy-intensive hobbies like programming and music production. But I've had mono and COVID in 2020 and I've never felt the same thereafter. Also working 40 hours a week drains a lot of energy
Yeah sports were my first attempt to solve it. I'm running twice a week usually and have done a few half marathons now. It's helped a bit, but my energy is still not amazing. It's probably related to having issues with mono and COVID in 2020, I've never been the same since then. Working 40 hours per week didn't help either.
Kinda random tbh. I used to use "gerry" but that name was quite often used because it's a Dutch name. So I needed something extra. In a bit of a goofy mood I came across some appelflappen, Dutch food comprised of apple sort of wrapped by pastry. And, uh, my brain did brain stuff.
I'm the same. I hate dark rooms, they make me sleepy and downbeat. I prefer natural light, but any light is better than sitting in a dark room. I also prefer to sleep in a room that's not totally dark and have no issues with sleeping in a moderately light room. I don't like pitch black darkness, makes me feel uneasy.

I don't understand how other countries manage to remain civilised without eating a broodje hagelslag regularly.
