Has science gone too far?

No better satire than reality these days.

When the times get tough, those who seek to manipulate the desperate masses create scapegoats.

No busses, no trains, no planes, bike paths frozen over. It’s all totally fucked here.

Needs more piss filter, distortions and random nonsense. Then it will truly be AI!

Really cool, but I would never let one of these into my home. We’ve all seen “I, Robot”, right? The only way I would even consider having one is if it ran on libre software.

I’m on the hiiiiiiighway to Hell!

I can’t speak for the immigration, since I was too young to remember it, but I love the Netherlands and will probably never live anywhere else. I don’t live in the Randstad (biggest cities in the South), so I can’t speak for there.

Likely no better place on Earth to be queer than here. It’s not perfect, but our rights against discrimination are protected in the first article of our Constitution. I don’t yet have the courage to girlmode outside without multiple friends at my side, but I’m sure that I will get it further along in my transition. I have quite a few friends who do present outside and have never gotten too much shit for it, the worst I heard being staring and yelling about how confused that particular cis person was.

About the English part, you can definitely survive without being able to understand much Dutch, but you will often get stuck in awkward situation with the delivery man/handy man/supermarket employee trying to converse in cobbled together English, as the lower levels of education aren’t taught it. University or white-collar job? You’ll be just fine conversing with other people for whom English is just their second (or more) language. Only in the oldest groups can you still find Dutch people who just cannot speak English, as basically anywhere on the Internet that isn’t explicitly Dutch is usually in English.

Hope this helped!

Buuuuuuuut everyone’s DRM’ed their ink cartridges which makes it illegal (a felony in the USA even) to circumvent it.

I would sooner strangle my foe with my bare hands than give them gender dysphoria.

Has anyone ever seen the movie “They Live”?

Would honestly be a nice story if he let go of his internalized homophobia.

I see a meerkat. What does that make me?

That’s actually a really good idea. From now on I will do the same. Thanks!

I think that this would have been even funnier as a “This is him now, feel old yet?” meme.

Welk partij gaan jullie voor stemmen voor de 2026 2de kamer verkiezingen?

Were the pussy lips also female-presenting?

More honest:

My religion says I can’t do that.

I don’t care.

My religion says you can’t do that.

I don’t care.

If you’re working retail or something else that has you face the general public, then yes. If you work a fancier job, then the Dutch people will just speak English with you.
