He is Catholic after all. Luckily I live in a jurisdiction where it's legal to refer to the Catholic Church as a "cult of child fuckers", which seems a very accurate description in my opinion.

He seems to be better than the last guy when it comes to Russia's war. That guy really thought it was the fault of NATO/Ukraine/whoever...

The difference between a unilateral decision that blindsided the cult leader and a coordinated decision where the messaging is supposed to divert any future blame away from the cult leader is easy: was the person supposedly at fault fired? No? Then it's all just talk, since the overall outcome nicely aligns with the policy goals of the red team.

You can (and some do) insist, that all phones and other digital devices be left outside or out in a well isolated place like a fridge. Furthermore you can use methods of encryption for both physical notes and digital notes. Neither is completely safe from being compromised, but then again hardly anything truly is.

If you want to be fairly certain to not be monitored, always leave digital devices behind and have meetings in varying locations with few or ideally no other people around. Only discuss confidential information with people you know and trust. Even then, experience from places like East Germany proves, nothing is truly safe from being compromised if enough time and energy is spent on the issue.

Perhaps they will be able to meet up in the afterlife soon, since I believe both of them are likely heading in the same direction there.

The problem with using AI assisted coding in my experience is that you might save time in the short term, you will spend months sorting through the inefficient and error probe spaghetti to unburden your product from all the AI induced technical debt. Use AI as a research tool or as inspiration for potential solutions, never as a copy/paste type of deal

I dread the elections in France in 2027. France is one of the last bastions of Freedom that is capable of standing up to the authoritarian states if push comes to shove. The last few presidential elections have moved France closer and closer to having a Kremlin sock puppet in charge. While they have managed to pull back from the brink a few times, it only needs to go wrong once.

Thanks for sharing! Concerning logistics when travelling I can also share my experience.

I travel on a Dutch passport and my children, while also having Dutch citizenship, travel on German passports because that is where we live and where my wife is from. They also use my wife's German last name. Therefore, when travelling, my kids and I have different names and nationalities. For some reason nobody ever questioned any of that. I keep a copy of the birth certificate just in case though.

I don't want to excuse Netanyahu here. He certainly belongs behind bars in my opinion. However, he only holds a part of the world hostage rather than all of it. I see him on par with folks like Kim Jon Un or Mohamed bin Salman rather than Trump or Putin.

The answer will likely depend on the place in the world and even on the cultural background of individuals getting married. I'll just share my experience.

We got married out of convenience. While it's technically possible to arrange the bulk of the legal stuff with various contracts, it is just easier to use the "default contract" that already covers the most common use case. Some legal arrangements, for example cuts to inheritance tax or the right to remain silent when asked about your spouse in legal proceedings, are only available for "real" marriages.

Once we decided to have children we looked into the various arrangements needed to make that work and quickly found out that marriage is the easiest way to sort everything out. In our day to day life nothing really changed. In legal terms quite a lot is now different.

By the way, as others have mentioned, getting married isn't expensive. All we paid was the administrative fee which was something like 50 Euros.

Blijkbaar is er niet veel te discussiëren. De overheid wil bezuinigen en de onderwijspartners willen de kwaliteit verbeteren of in ieder geval niet verslechteren. Dat zijn standpunten die niet samengaan.

I remember visiting Mohenjo-Daro in the mid 1990s and being impressed by the sheer scale of time between these remnants of civilization and myself. It's sad that the site isn't as developed as it deserves to be, since it is among the oldest proofs of civilisation still around.

Maar misschien was hij sowieso niet gemaakt de rol van grote partijleider te spelen.

Dat is ook wat ik denk. Hij is een man van details. Hij heeft geen gevoel voor het grote geheel.

I hope it was screwed tightly.

Hier in Duitsland hebben we ook een personeelstekort in de kinderopvang. Toch is het veel goedkoper dan in Nederland. In plaats daarvan moeten kinderopvangcentra de beperkte plaatsen toewijzen op basis van de behoefte en niet op basis van het inkomen van de ouders.

De gemiddelde werknemer heeft het vandaag moeilijker om vermogen op te bouwen met zijn werk dan in vroegere decennia. Het is zeker niet helemaal onmogelijk, maar wel moeilijker.

In de wereld waarin ik opgroeide, kon je met één salaris een gezin onderhouden en een huis kopen. Tegenwoordig hebben veel mensen twee salarissen nodig en kunnen ze nauwelijks de huur betalen in een buitenwijk.

Pensioenen zijn ook veel slechter voor jongere mensen of bestaan helemaal niet meer.

Ik hou van het basisidee om vermogen te belasten en niet inkomen. Aangezien het in principe onmogelijk is om vermogen te genereren door te werken, lijkt het alleen maar eerlijk om over te stappen naar een systeem dat vooral kijkt naar het vermogen om te bepalen hoeveel iemand kan bijdragen.

Je bent niet de enige. Kijk maar naar de actuele peilingen.

Op dit moment voelt het als de wet van Schrödinger. De wet is er, totdat de PVV hem te nauwkeurig gaat controleren.

De kop leek eerst een grap. Ik denk dat dierenrechten voor sommigen belangrijker zijn dan voor anderen.
