Putting restrictions on farmers in the middle of a global food crisis. Pure genius.

From what I can actually gather, it is a maximum emission value per country, based on the country's surface area. Without taking into account that a country like the Netherlands has disproportionately many farm lands for its size compared to other EU countries. Basically they got the right idea, limiting nitrogen emissions, but are using the wrong distribution patterns for emissions. This simply is the kind of problem, where if you want to tackle it as a Union, it has to be handled on the Union level, not on a country by country basis.

How many conspiracies are there?

I only remember "Everyone is Soma", but that's an old one.

Farmers should be treated better but they should also not act like assholes.

Exactly, live and let live.

Protesting is important, but it really should not affect "outsiders" too much, as that will just sway the public opinion against you.

This has been dragging on for several years now.

And more insanity today. more dumpings (apparently including asbestos), blocking highways by means of holding a BBQ, even seeing photos depicting children being used as human shields.... And it seems they are now even threatening the life of the one chamber member, who's entire party and image is about farmer politics...

Now with the police complaining they are underpowered for this, I can only wonder how long it will take before it escalates and the army or mp are brought in.

Acknowledging they did something wrong is always a good first step.

Never seen Nicht swear before

I do rarely type out swears and when speaking Dutch, I tend to use rare or old-fashioned ones.

Except under new guidelines, an upper limit has been set for nitrogen emissions.

"Too much" is never a good thing.

I have many hours in both Zelda and FE Musou 1, but I do not think I ever fully completed even 1 Adventure or 1 History Map.

After all the shit they pulled before, they were now literally dumping shit on the highways and threatening anyone tasked with cleaning it up...

I have long stopped understanding the actual point. They want concessions, but instead of their protests getting things through to the ones that can change stuff, they are just being idiots and pissing of the entire country.

No idea what foreign news sites would properly cover it, but just search for Dutch Farmers and it should be easily found and you can then pick your newssite of choice.

We were so naive, thinking the biggest stunt they would pull was crashing tractors into the front-door of governmental buildings.

Edit: The entire conflict has a Wikipedia page, so I suppose that works.

Do you even game, bro?

Board games, card games, video games, mind games, but not vidya games.

Also, I am (probably) not your brother, so do not call me that.

I somehow forgot that covid used to be called coronavirus

Only by those that did not understand what was going on, or did not care.

I know it is a slight linguistic difference, but in my language, people are monkeys. Nothing controversial about that.

For some reason the lines are drawn slightly differently in English and suddenly people are not monkeys. Despite monkey being the correct translation for the word we use in Dutch...

No, this is not the place for vidya games. No idea what those are even.

Good to know that the puns on words that just happen to resemble words related to men are not something recent.

That said, I once had a green onion eating contest with a friend at an OCB. We got a huge plate of them. He gave up after 10 onions or so. I ate 25 or so, took a break, then finished the plate.

Now I amwondering. I know red onion does not agitate my stomach as much as regular onions, so now I am wondering if green onions are worse or "better" to my stomach.

Strike that, foremost I am wondering what green onions are...

Oh... Green onion is just spring/forest onion, which is just an immature regular onion... At least I know the answer to both questions then.

That makes it look like he only found out his "daughter-in-law" was actually his son-in-law after the interviewer told him.

That's a rather restricted 6 boxes...

he made a typo

I doubt anyone is going to believe that.

The AI are definitely becoming more human, if they are learning to cheat/play dirty.

Disney used Chadwick Boseman's Twitter account to promote the new Black Panther and everyone was eating it up, it's disgusting.

Is that even legal? Impersonating a well-known deceased person does not sound very smart to me.

42, Superman.

I feel like these titles are inflated. I know my coloursight is not good.

It is like the most decent from the list, after looking up what it is.

Although I think could easily make a top ten without any of the ones listed.

No pistachio, almond, hazelnut etc?

Caramel pecan tends to be decent, butter pecan sounds terrible.

A necklace with a pendant, I rotate between an amethyst and an owl pendant my grandma gave me.
2 Rings. One a signet ring that my dad stopped wearing and now has my initials on it.
The other a ring with a small inlaid stone, that was among the cufflinks my grandpa left to me.

It supposed to be a combo of VR/AR, Gaming, NFT, Crypto, etc that will shape the Tech space in the Future

Triple no then. Although we might go for more, would the etc include lootboxes and other gambling mechanics?

Mostly just loud bass and other droning noises.

Cocktail time?

Also, as a more serious answer, pretty syre the only events I really look out for every year are E3 and both GDQs. Although neither are exclusively about PC gaming.

I remember Moosh as default and being quite annoying with his inputs for hover.

Dimitri and Ricky are both not unfun and have their uses.

Sounds like something you want to have custom made, not mass produced from Amazon.

On cue for what? Laws are written about actions that can be proven, not thoughts. I feel like we are just wording things differently.

No idea what it is even supposed to be.

If just permanent VR, I sincerely doubt it.

In before enlightened left leaning centrists come in here to explain how actually the democrats are really the ones being racist and how republicans showing support for literal nazis is fine.

In no way can it be construed at racism. At best one could argue that it persecutes thought crime. Except most likely the act would not forbid certain thoughts, but the expression of them. But that is the confusion caused by sensationalist headlines.

I hope they invent artificial wombs or incubators so that the rightoids have to make a choice between being pro-life or anti-girl

That is already what it is. Both monikers are inadequate, but create a nice vs mentality.

plus if you are a Christian and believe in fetuses having souls for whatever reason just think of Jesus getting more homies as they couldnt possibly sin from within a flesh prison and no ability to think or articulate thoughts.

Should not be an issue in the first place. Originally unbaptised babies went to Limbo, but recently the opinion shifted to them going straight to heaven.No need to even worry about sin.

What is that saying again? "He must be rolling over in his grave"?

While Lincoln reads slightly Right-wing to me and somewhat authoritorian. Far less so than the view I have of the contemporary Republican party.

You mean all 208 NAYs?

do play the geneforge 1 remake that they had free a lil while ago, it is probably the third most formative game of my childhood (#2 is tales of symphonia and #1 is golden sun)

Where do the Oracles rank?

Blocking people is not merely about not liking them.

Why would anyone do that?

Asking questions is never inherently wrong.

The story of Ganymede is an old man in power (Zeus) abducting and forcing himself on a child (Ganymede).

Not the most wholesome story if you ask me.

Are you just going to pretend Ganymede was not a victim of Zeus?

Why the *fuck* did you even remotely try to justify their relationship?

Did I? I made some more generic statements in the hope someone could give some details.

Since I did not have the full picture and was not going to 100% condemn something before having that fuller picture.

Is that what money gets you in the US? Guardian and child sex is explicitly forbidden, because one is considered to have absolute power over the other, even as adults.

Hardly anyone cares that much about Epic. Try again.

Looking at Wikipedia, the only relevant titles I am seeing are Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal Tournament and Shadow Complex. (None of them really recent)

Then he basically groomed his own daughter yes.

Still step-relationships at best.

Only wrong if he actually raised his stepdaughter before becoming intimate with her.

Americans put too much value on step relationships as actual familial relationships.

Always weird how "Pro-Life" in the US only really applies to those that have not been born yet, once you are born, you are on your own and those Pro-Lifers no longer care.

Which is weird, in either direction. I mean, if as a party you are secretly (blatantly) against minorities, would legal abortion not help? In the same way, if you do want all those babies to be born, why would you not want to continue to help them as babies?

I know the words "Pro-Life" and "Pro-Choice" are merely propaganda, but when actually thinking about them, they do not hold up at all for me...

How far along with fixing things is Joe?
