@Porkchop_EXP A part of it is the current sick note system :

In NL you’re sick for a couple days and go back to work.

In DE you get sick for a couple days, you have to get a doctor’s note. The doc will write one for a week which then gets tacked on to the couple days you were already sick.

@TupleJ @KerenHirsch Komt nu al door die idiote doktersbriefjes van ze:

Oh ziek? Ok, hier is een briefje voor een week.

@rvmNL @_can1357 @QuinnyPig Some APIs fix this by putting a “version”:”2.0” somewhere in the json blob you POST though.

The pope dragging the Catholic church kicking and screaming into the Century of the Fruitbat

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

NEW: Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.”

“We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue.”

@Nymne @Nassreddin2002 The politicians deciding to hand all the state owned infrastructure over to some investors in exchange for a cushy job later?

Yes, exactly those people. They knew exactly what they were doing.

[djinh 🇵🇸 @djinh]

@Nymne @Nassreddin2002 Not sure which “they” you are thinking of, but the people who brought us neoliberalism and shoved it down our throats knew exactly what they were doing. The same had been done before all over the world for well over a century.

[djinh 🇵🇸 @djinh]

@Nassreddin2002 @Nymne No one thought the market would solve this. That was just the bullshit they fed to the plebs while they raided our economies and destroyed any semblance of competent governance.

@Matthijs85 We’re far beyond Idiocracy.

At least there the president stands up to big business, trusts expert opinions and changes policy based on new scientific data.

Idiocracy would be close to a utopia compared to the hellscape we live in.

[Glenn Diesen @Glenn_Diesen]

We are told that security in the Middle East requires defeating Iran, security in East Asia requires defeating China, and security in Europe requires defeating Russia. We never discuss security in terms of how to learn to live together by harmonising interests and managing competition. This is by design. This is hegemonic peace, in which security depends on defeating rivals rather than managing a balance of power.

Subsequently, security relies solely on deterrence rather than reassurance; diplomacy is dismissed as appeasement; peace agreements are temporary and deceptive; and war is peace. Our rivals do not have legitimate security concerns, as their policies are allegedly always motivated by aggressive, irrational, or expansionist behaviour.

We have convinced ourselves that our liberal hegemony is a force for good, and that our opponents oppose our dominance because they reject our benign values of freedom. Discussing the security concerns of adversaries is believed to “legitimise” their policies, which is treasonous. The world is divided into good guys (liberal democracies) and bad guys (autocracies). We should not ask how defeating Russia, as the world's largest nuclear power, is a rational security strategy, or why our governments refuse to even speak with Moscow to discuss the European security architecture and end the war. Our governments have relabelled nuclear deterrence as nuclear blackmail to signal that there can be no more constraints.

All empires can become irrational during decline. Leaders take greater risks to avoid decline, legitimacy crises at home must be distracted with enemies abroad, outdated strategies from a bygone era of strength are still embraced, and there is a tendency to double down on narratives of being indispensable, representing universal values, and dismissing all opposition as illegitimate and dangerous. Are we the fanatics?
