There is no escaping the toxic behavior on Reddit. Not even on gardening subs

Or I am the toxicity.

Stop sending billions in tax cuts and subsidies to companies. Tell them to just pull themselves up from the bootstraps. Spend the money on disability care.

Wolves have returned to The Netherlands (and Belgium) and it is a shitshow lol. People are panicking, farmers are angry. But dogs, for example, make far more victims in humans and cattle than wolves do. There hasn’t even been a wolven attack on a human yet but some parties want to kill them. There is absolutely no wilderness in this country at all because farmers took every single inch possible.

At least Belgium has some rooms with Wallonia existing.

Yesterday I watched a show in which a couple from Amsterdam with steady jobs wanted to buy a house with a budget of 350k. They eventually had to move to fucking Lelystad because they were unable to find anything near Amsterdam.

My native flowers are growing steadily on my balcony. I have seen some bumblebees and random critters already. I was also gifted a climbing rose this weekend and in a burst of insanity I an deciding to give it a try. On a city balcony. We’ll see.

Apart from that things seems a bit quiet political wise. There is a general strike next monday though and I’m not allowed to work that day lol.

The west will sanction China on everything they can for daring to defy their supremacy only to find out that it will be an economic suicide that will dwarf their current disastrous sanction campaign against Russia.

Some positive news: there seems to be some pacifist movement emerging in The Netherlands with regards to an arms race against Russia. There is no real ideological line it seems but at least there is some resistance to the madness.

Man who doesn’t. One of the greatest things to watch on a lazy Sunday morning.

I swear to God these people are so incompetent it’s funny. If this was a Netflix show you’d say it was over the top yet here we are.

Personally I get nausea from iced or cold black coffee for some reason. Maybe if there is some oat milk in it, then it is fine. But otherwise I absolutely don’t like it lol.

City subreddit, Western country: ‘look at this cool park, public transport, building, cute cafe’

City subreddit, Eastern Europe: ‘JOIN NATO JOIN EU PROTEST EU FUCK PUTING JOIN EU EU IS MASTER RACE’

It’s only brainwashing if it’s the DPRK guys

Lol that’s weird. It’s one thing to notice such a thing and he’s right when he might think it can be something medical but to insinuate it is is just weird. But then again doctors can be quite strange.

Europe already spends 2 to 3 times more on defence than Russia and has more manpower and vehicles but there is, apart from us, no party ever highlighting this.

Belgium actually

Though I’m guessing Russia isn’t worth it for the West and they will focus on China instead
