I seriously almost did this. I visited the Netherlands, and fell absolutely head over heels for their way of life. It’s so damn peaceful and free! You don’t have to worry about getting shot when you’re running errands. You don’t have to worry about going bankrupt through medical expenses. You don’t have to worry about going to jail over weed or mushrooms. You don’t have to buy a car, because bicycling infrastructure and public transportation is AMAZING.

While I was there I met a lovely chap who is originally from England. He told me that he spent a holiday in Amsterdam, and broke his leg. So he stayed at the hospital, and afterwards, just didn’t leave. He’s been working/living there ever since.

When it came time for me to leave, I had accidentally missed my train, and it was going to be some extra money to switch around my flight/train to get back home, and a part of me was seriously considering just being like “fuck it” and staying. The only thing stopping me from moving there now is the knowledge that I’d have to continue paying taxes to the U.S. if I wanted to keep my citizenship while living and paying taxes in the Netherlands. 😑

If anyone can tell me a way around this… please do, because I want to move to the Netherlands.

This is where Finland and Sweden excel. Because they have mandatory military service, everyone with a gun has been trained in all aspects of it’s use/care. Finland is one of the top 10 countries with the most firearms per civilian, and yet their rate of firearm deaths is minuscule in comparison to the U.S..

At this rate though, I don’t see how any meaningful gun regulation can be passed. The nra stopped universal background checks from being passed after Sandy Hook. I lost faith in republicans since then. They’re bad faith actors, that when faced with the prisoners dilemma, choose suicide.

Bacon, Eggs, Toast, Home Fries, Coffee, OJ. BAM. Perfect breakie. Just don’t forget the tobasco!

wow wtf, never read the youtube comments, indeed

fantastic video. I’ve only ever acted in the theater, and he really does make clear how much different acting is within the two mediums. Plus Michael comes off as a wonderfully talented, yet approachable and kind. Glad I watched!

There is something so damned satisfying about inserting a floppy disk, that the younger generation will never know. It’s like the sound of the needle dropping onto the initial smooth surface of the vinyl record, but even more satisfying because the computer turns into a field machine for a second with all of it’s “KA-CHUNK WHRRRRRR THUNKA THUNKA THUNKA DICT DIT DIT” noises

tacking onto this, did you know that bong water is fantastic for houseplants?

notice the clear lack of a “controversy” section on Kendricks wikipedia. Drake is the only shitty person in this rap beef

God Bless you Conan O’Brien, tears of laughter from how hard you went on that. You didn’t have to go that hard, but god bless you for it

Lock Out/ Tag Out what? Just post a handmade sign, dude

you sound fun

Must be arresting some connected gangster with some police on his payroll. There’s no other explanation I can imagine for why they wouldn’t hurt him as much as possible.

“-And at home you’re probably using harmful detergents”

Wow, fuck off meme. I’m gonna buy more jeans than ever now

Oh, I didn’t realize you weren’t talking about a whole-ass window, that makes more sense for the price if you’re just replacing it with whatever glass you can find

dude, windows are expensive, where are people buying cheap windows??

This in no way excuses the ludicrous use of force by the police, but… They forgot the keys, so they broke their own window to get in? who does that? It’s an apartment, call the super? or a locksmith? Get called to a break-in, see signs of forced entry, see someone coming to the door with a gun… Yeah that’d be intense all right. Doesn’t excuse the police actions but dang. bit more understandable

pair of slippers and flip-flops that stay indoors, just for indoors. I just hate getting bits of whatever stuck to my socks/feet in between sweeping sessions. Though after a good sweep, I will do a stride of pride sans socks/shoes, just to feel how clean the floor is

Son of Patricia was OK. But it mostly relied on him doing impressions of people he grew up with. It was funny, but in a middling sort of way. It’s lazy joke writing that’s comparable to Larry the Cable Guy or Jeff Dunham.

Just because he’s black, doesn’t mean that disliking his performance is racist. In fact, it’s racist to suggest it. He’s just not as good as Colbert or Stewart. Not like I hate him, he’s fine. Just not as good at the Daily Show job.

I mean if he was amazing then

Mr. Noah’s incarnation of “The Daily Show” drew an average nightly audience of just over 1 million viewers for the week ending Sept. 1, according to Nielsen, well short of the 2 million or more who tuned in for Mr. Stewart’s program

You’re saying people didn’t like him because he was black, and spoke of his international experiences. I don’t think so. I watched a lot of his episodes, and the writing just wasn’t there. Additionally, his interviewing skills are subpar. Often interrupting or talking over his guest, right when they’re about to say something interesting.
