Don't you love it when people don't read? I sent multiple documents to get a permit. The inspector showed up and from the comments he made I infer he had not read any of it. Oh, well. Anyway, we told him everything he could have, should have, read and we got the permission. Yay!

If you wonder why I'm against fascists, it's in part because I hold a grudge. Two of my grandparents were murdered by the Nazis because they were Jewish by birth.

Woke means you're aware of the systemic racism in our society. Woke means you're aware of the systemic sexism in our society. Anti woke means you want to be racist and sexist. I'd rather be woke, thank you very much.

My wife and I are different, of course. Yesterday, while we were making love, my SIL called me. She only calls me when she can't reach her sister. I had my phone on airplane mode. My wife had her phone without sound. We are different.

There are loads of things I don't understand. For instance, why anybody would spend money on a car that can "fly" for a couple of seconds and that can explode in their faces (or faeces) at any second? ~ Probably people with more money than common sense.

I have a master's degree in artificial intelligence from the University of Utrecht. We had ethics classes. The people behind AI datacenters have MBAs. I don't think MBAs have ethics. They focus on "profits". "Profits good. Losses bad" Anyway

I strongly believe there should be more quotation marks in the news. For instance: "President" Trump. First "lady". Fox "news". Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I fondly remember the time I proposed a shift change for my team. Start an hour earlier. Leave one hour earlier. This would help avoid rush hour. It was "naturally" rejected because other teams would get jealous. The other teams were on 24h shifts and could have benefited from the change. Fuck!

This is hilarious. Our fridge is dying, so I bought a [brand name] fridge online. It would be delivered in a few days I got a call: "We don't have that model in stock. Shall we cancel the order?" Me: "Okay" I checked. It wasn't cancelled. I wrote an email. They cancelled Now, they want a review!

truly a wild time to be alive when the cryptography world is split between those worried about quantum computers and those whose private key is “4”

I dislike Nazi ideology. That is: I don't like those ideas. Nazis want to murder me for existing, independent of my ideas. It's not the same. There's a video of a black Nazi supporter, crying because she was kicked out by the Nazis.

A couple of days ago, I called a service number to get my post address changed to the correct one. It's a stupid system. I can't give them my correct address because it's not in the system. That's stupid. The guy promised he had changed the address. He had not. I gave him a one star review.

Normally, I would have given him a three star review. He was very friendly. The thing that irked me was that he asked for a five star review. I would have given him a five star review if he had solved my problem.

The objectively biggest country on Earth controls the subjectively greatest country on Earth. The subjectively biggest clown on Earth is objectively the worst US president in history. Thanks Putin!

It's really hard to learn from history if nobody teaches history. If you want to learn history, and its relevance to today, you should read about Hitler and the differences and similarities between him and Diaper Donnie.

To me, a Nazi only requires the criteria. 1. Religious 2. Nationalist 3. Racist I know that's a very broad stroke, but it does cover a lot of ground. Zionists are Nazis. The religion is different. The victims are different. The hatred and propaganda are the same.

We got a message this afternoon. She: "What you're selling is too expensive." Me: "Thanks." We're selling a house for the in-laws at the third lowest square meter price in the whole village.

I'm against Nazis because I'm neither religious, nationalist, nor racist. I'm against Nazis because Nazis are against me. I have a master's degree, and Nazis hate people who can think. Nazis love dumb fucks. Easily manipulated. Nazis are cruel. Look at ICE, arresting parents. Deporting children.

People wrongfully get upset at third party voters. I encourage everybody to vote according to their conscience. If Democrats lose again, it's 100% because one third of the country doesn't vote. Motivate everybody to get out and vote!

Jolly good. When I whistle our cat, she usually comes, unless she doesn't want to. She's a cat. When she can't come because she's retained in some way, she meows. She's a cat. I expected her home, so I whistled. I heard her far away, meowing. I got a lantern and got her out of a low tree.

After more than 20 years, our fridge is dying. I bought another one online. Our kitchen is prepared for a bigger fridge, so I bought a 186 cm high one. I measured the space. A 185 cm fits. No big deal. I will lift the cupboard on or two cms. I've dismounted the cupboard for when it arrives.

Dear Michael Tracey, I know you will see this because you search your own name, you aren't the judge of this case. You are just some bystander wanting to scare women from coming forward and reporting crimes for some sick reason I think we can all guess. Get bent you creepy jerk.
