  • Shoulda just killed him to be honest, but oh well

    Your husband could try and get a job in Europe. Here in flanders there’s quite a lot of walkability. They are creating bike lanes. I’m lucky that I can bike to work 15 km without interacting much with cars.

    I could suggest Indonesia, for 100k euros you have a nice apartment with access to a gym and swimming pool. But I don’t know about the needs of your child. They don’t really speak English there either, but Bahasa is pretty easy to learn.

    Personally I’d go to Batam, Indonesia. Right under Singapore. Live in the center.

    For walkability it’s bad there kinda. And hot. Be careful of things like construction work. Can’t really know if it’s all safe.


  • Bought my wife a home bike so that she could do some cardio while I worked. It’s good for the winter, it gets pretty cold here for her. She’s used to Indonesia and in Belgium it gets to 0 to minus 10 degrees in the winter months.

    It’s a good option because you can read something while doing that. Basically you can be on the internet.

    When you’re more fit, I’d suggest rope skipping. However it can be hard on the joints. It’s very good cardio though. Boxers do it all the time.

    You also can buy some kettlebells. I have one of 16 and 20 kg at home, it takes no space at all. I use them for shoulder raises. They can be used for swings which is great cardio.

    You can do bodyweight squats. I do 5 sets of 50 on a Sunday when I’m “too lazy” to fix up the weight for deadlift.

    In all these years of working out, I quickly made the investment to have a home gym. Not because it’s cheaper in the long term, but because it’s far easier to actually do the workout.

    The most difficult part about working out at a gym is getting to the gym. It feels like a drag. Sure, once at the gym it’s all great, but getting there the next time is once again a drag.

    About food I don’t know shit though. I consume a lot of calories. Me working out and stuff like that is what I call damage control. I’m a stereotypical Belgian. I eat a lot of fries with mayo and drink strong beer.

    Working out, and likely food, is all about mental stuff. Truly it’s half the battle. Need to figure out how to do a routine and keep to it. Like right now I’m going to do barbell rows because it’s Thursday. I don’t even view it as an option, it’s just what my Thursday looks like.

    Good luck, getting back into shape is always difficult. But you know that after 2 months you’ll have a lot of energy. Then the trick is to keep working out just to keep that amount of energy.










  • My mate is applying to Amazon as warehouse worker. He has an IT degree.

    My coworker in the bookkeeping department has two degrees. Accountancy and IT. She can’t find an IT job.

    At the other side though, my brother, an experienced software developer, is earning quite a lot of money now.

    Basically, the industry is not investing in new blood.


  • Both powers have been handling in their own interest.

    Biden sending funding to Ukraine has been good for Europe. Trump stopping this funding has been bad for Europe.

    Biden wants to keep the American hegemony.

    Trump wants to isolate the USA in favour of companies inside the country.

    The EU hasn’t been arming themselves because there was no need for it. Not threatening with weapons is being a quite attractive trade partner. The lack of weapons caused Europe to be more stable when cooperating with eachother.

    There has been a major history of infighting in Europe. So unifying ourselves after the 2nd world war is a major benefit for us.

    Now that we are more unified, we can rearm ourselves properly. With hopefully a European army that defends the whole European union.


  • Obama/Biden were good for Europe. Trump is bad.

    If the next president is good for europe, then so be it.

    But the volatility shows that changes must be made. More autonomy, the stability of china is actually looking quite good.

    But china shows different issues. That of freedom of expression.

    So, we’ll need to rearm, have a bit more hard power. We can’t be the only ones trying without.

    Get rid of your military might and then we can do the same. But nah, that’s not going to happen.

    For now, the main contributing factors to NPD seem to be: Genetics

    https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9742-narcissistic-personality-disorder

    Tsk tsk tsk

    I’m curious, what’s your job?

    My job is to portray truthful information so that stakeholders can gain insight.

    So I enjoy looking at the information you give me and see if it’s correct and if it’s the complete picture.

    You’re quite biased toward nurture and give little regard to nature in this subject.

    While it’s common knowledge that both are impactful.

    Human behaviour. You’ll find speakers that talk more about the nurture part. You’ll find speakers that talk more about the nature part.

    You are biased toward the nurture part, so you will align yourself more with speakers that talk about that. While willfully ignoring the other side of the truth.

    We all do this.

    It’s beautiful


  • I’mma try that. I’mma sell my services and when a customer isn’t happy about the quality of my services (the fella is literally being paid to teach a certain amount of time), then I’m just going to gaslight the customer that they are the ones at fault.

    I gave you a substitute for a far better speaker.

    I prefer to listen to his new book Nexus.

    Do give me a break, this isn’t my native language. The quality of communication is rather important in order to transfer information into me.

    like YouTube free documentary. That’s high quality communication.

    Nah I’d prefer being called a European supremacist, can you do that instead? The child in my wife’s uterus is going to be Eurasian.

    Now we got the choice between raising it in Europe or in Asia and I prefer Europe. Although it depends on where in these two locations. Belgium Vs Indonesia. My main concern is the heat. The rest is fine, but god damn I want my winters.

    Everyone has narcissistic traits, we can just call it self esteem. But only a very small part of the population has Narcissistic personality disorder.

    It is 50% genetic 👀 so we’re back to nature/nurture blabla.

    My mom did have quite the symptoms of the disorder. Mainly she thought that everyone was envious of her and that anything someone did was just something to affect her.

    Now personally I have different symptoms, it doesn’t use other people, it’s mainly self esteem stuff like: I can get sexually turned on by looking in a mirror. I think I’m above average intellectually able. I think I make good decisions. I love talking about the details of my life. (I’m also interested in details of others their lives, most people lack the desire to be transparent). I also like talking about details bout anything to be honest. It’s just that I know a lot of my own life.

    Now. Psychologist puts all of that on “mild autism”. Since my dad is autistic.

    Now… Call me autist supremacist 😎 literally different brain wiring.

    Who downvoted you lol. But yeah, that’s literally just AI.

    I use AI to provide a less biased view whenever I talk about subjects I’m not that experienced in.

    Because the last thing I want is to be influenced by an extremist.

    Edit:

    Now now now now, the best thing is communication and not antagonising one another.

    But that do be quite a challenge
