The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Half a day for most here.

We have the full day. Not that it makes a difference to me, I was already on break

There was a song I heard about a week ago like that. Literally.

"Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat"

It's the worst fucking thing I've ever heard.

That's just a club dance beat. You're meant to be drunk and high and grinding on some strange dude when you hear that. The words don't matter.
This isn't the same kind of song at all.

If that classifies as any sort of "music" by any type of record label, I want the notice of their bankruptcy. It's awful.

It's just permanent decline from that point onwards, because you know life is never going to be as magnificent as that one perfect moment, now forever lost in the past.

Not that it matters where I live, because 20 is a perfectly legal age for a variety of adult activities in my corner of the world.

A classic case of overwhelming circumstances. You were perfectly willing to to be there, but reality decided otherwise.

Wow, these sites are really getting cleverer, it seems. The casual tone almost makes me think it's a personal message, haha. Funny thing is, I had to deactivate my main ad-blocker to even see that message, but another extension is still blocking some advertisers, which apparently caused that message to pop up.

The easy solution is to stop using ad blockers. They're essentially theft.

Do not overestimate the Netherlands. We have more than our fair share of willfully ignorant people here.

If ads wouldn't often be so obnoxious, people wouldn't install adblockers. It's not theft, it's fighting back.

A few centuries back that would have been the Christian thing to do. These days we associate such behaviour with Sharia-obsessed salafist barbarians. No matter what spiritual background you prefer, none allows you to immolate fellow citizens over here.

Ads are hardly obnoxious, except on slightly dodgy sites that you probably shouldn't be using anyway. How else do you expect sites to pay for themselves?
