Why say “unalive” here on lemmy?

Got to love that picture: shares an insightful post about cat psychology regarding how to tell when a cat feels safe. Follows up posting a picture of a scared/triggered cat :D

Although it is true what you say and I do agree, I also read between your lines that maybe you don’t know how difficult and (life)long that process is.

An eating disorder is a disease/issue that honestly isn’t solvable, you carry that weak point for the rest of your life and will have to battle it. Which with eating is extra difficult, since you have to eat. You can’t stay sober from food.

(But maybe I misunderstood your words (being written text without further context). )

“Only downside is that there’s no way it’s good for you.”

That’s a big ‘only downside’. You should check how much salt is in those things.

(Why can’t they make processed foods healthy?)

Nice choice of the word/idiom cudgel, since a cudgel is a small (child?) version of a weapon.

Maybe also get heavier switches?

Oh no, the world is now seriously doing what was a funny satirical subplot in the movie Brewster’s Millions.

Movies are not meant as instructions people, cmon!

Your Miles May Vary, an acronym saying that it’s his/her opinion/experience, and your experience may be different.

Not very stable indeed. Since ‘Kok’ (2002!), NL has had 1 cabinet come to full term (Rutte II I believe). In 21 years 8 goverments. 1 full term of 4 years, so 7 in 17 years. Elections every 2,5 years on average :/

But hey, at least NL is not Belgium :D

“Going to shit”, really?

NL is one of the best countries in the world. Yes we have some challenges, e.g. stikstof or crappy goverment (e.g.toeslagenaffaire), but common, don’t be soo fatalistic.

And yes, live is getting very expensive. Which is the result of the late-game capitalistic piramid scheme we live in. That sucks, sure. But that is not solvable any time soon. Especially not by NL :D

Don’t worry, the headline is too sensational. (Which is a pet peeve of mine anyway: headlines should be objective. I can make up my own mind please)

He didn’t win a majority. He won’t form a goverment. If he does, he will be powerless in the coalition. If he does get to make laws, they won’t pass the senate (called “1ste kamer” in NL). And if he does, the government will fall anyway (which is a Dutch tradition anyway).

So a lot of ‘outs’ :)

No worries!

Don’t worry. He didn’t win the majority. Headline is too sensational.

The Netherlands has always been a centrist, or even socialist, country. That won’t change.

In fact, this could be a blessing in disguise: let him try to form a goverment. He won’t. And if he does, he will fail making policies/laws that are too far right anyway. And then after a few years, the coalition will fall apart. And we will vote again. And then he will lose this temporary win again.

I am 0% worried.

Please don’t confuse The Netherlands with Germany. In NL they speak Dutch (“Netherlandish”), in DE they speak Deutsch (German).

Confusing? Yes. But it is what it is.

(And don’t get me started about Holland vs. The Netherlands :) )

Same in Dutch: azijnzeiker (azijn = vinegar, zeiker = pisser). So that one does translate well (but not to English :))

Ah, give it time. Change is scary. And it is easy to be complacent. But ‘luckily’ Reddit will chase them to here.

Another Reddit refugee here. I guess after June 30th member numbers will explode?
