    The Israeli ambassador came to visit Belgian parliament today for some reason and one of our MPs went off on her saying they are a genocidale state and that their lies to everyone will not prevent a Free Palestine and that their leaders will end up where they belong: in jail

    1 in 4 Dutch people are now afraid to wear sun screen because they think it gives them cancer. Instead they just bake in the giant ball of radiation in the sky without protection.

    I guess this is Darwinism but the stupidity of so many people is frightening.

      Tell me Dutchman, is it true that Dutch people are among the least likely in all of Europe to wash their hands after they use the bathroom?

        Yes I think that is correct unfortunately. I wouldn’t even be surprised if that was somehow rooted in white supremacy or something.

      Many, if not most, sunscreens use certain ingredients that breakdown in UV light and produce carcinogens that can be absorbed by the skin. It was a relatively large exposé a few years ago. My doctor has equally told me that the sun isn’t the primary factor in whether you get cancer and people without the genetic predisposition for skin cancer aren’t going to get it from sun exposure.

      Not that I don’t wear sunscreen, but I select my sunscreen very very carefully and review the latest consumer research on cancer-causing ingredients.

    Currently having a sticker war with some nazi shit in my hood. They keep placing stickers that say stuff like: hand in hand back to your own land. The weird thing is that these are Dutch org stickers for some reason.

    Anyway they are very unfortunate that I have probably a thousand commie and antifascist stickers that I can keep placing on top of it. I just hope to catch the person in the act one day.

    Maybe the only upside of this NATO meeting is that the world is now able to see the walking clown show that is Mark Rutte

      Guy’s name is Bob Vylan and he puts out some bangers.

    I often wonder what life in the DPRK is like and today I figured: someone must have uploaded some google maps pictures. And there are indeed some photos from ground level DPRK and it’s really cool to see.

        libs will look at pictures of the DPRK with its clean streets, people riding bicycles, no ugly ads plastered all over, etc. and think “this is hell”

        Probably not too difficult from satellite. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a delay between reported weather and actual weather if it’s just satellite with no ground telemetry.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if NK offered weather data publicly either. That kind of thing is important for shipping/trade.

        The fact that the afterburner is on after the crash, the wing is actually backwards, and also how this was shown wherever some news said “F35 down” despite not having anything in common with an actual F35. Even if it was an F16 the first points still stand.

        Same with the “Soroka Hospital map” that was clearly AI generated going by the letters alone, and it didn’t have anything to do with the actual Soroka Hospital that you can find on any map service (seriously, it’s like Google Maps or OSM don’t exist).

        I don’t really care whether they downed F35s, I just wish people stopped posting AI slop and passing it as proof, it really damages any kind of credibility they have.

          Believe me, I am not fond of AI generated images, I am probably more A.I paranoid than you, but I think this image, if it is fake, is likely just a regular old doctored picture. Tools which are pretty reliably able to detect this sort of thing are not coming up with anything in this case.

            Idk, with how some parts of the image appear very clear and others are indistinguishable, I thought immediately of AI. You could be right too.

          Also, there’s absolutely no vegetation or rocks on the ground. It’s all the same texture and same evenness. There’s no burn or skid marks on the ground. There’s no other debris or wreckage strewn about the area. The afterburner colours look exactly like the first image on a Google search for “F35”. The plane’s surface looks rough and matte, sort of like an F16, whereas F35s have a really slick, almost shiny surface. The fuselage of an F35 is much less cylindrical and more ellipsoid (again reminds me more of an F16 or F15).

          Probably some news website made the image to accompany their article. Maybe they even mentioned in the caption that it was AI generated. Then other websites picked up the picture hastily and used it without question.
