Beer is for pussies. Nothing beats the after taste of pure blue spirits. /jk

IPA stands for Indian Pale Ale. It was brewed with and excessive amount of hops, so the beer would survive the long trip to India without getting a bad taste (so the taste would turn good after the long trip in different climates). It turned out, some idiots (like me) like the weird taste of the pre-travel beer to India. Bitter sweet. Weissen was invented because a monk forgot a keg outside the monastery during winter which partially frozen, but tasted surprisingly good. Champagne was invented because a farmer wanted to speed up the process and tried the wine during the fermenting process instead of waiting and discovered it had bubbles.

A locally brewed IPA and a Juttertje (Dutch herbal bitters, a bit like Jägermeister but much better)

Ok so I’m not moving for the coming 10 years for sure, and if I’m moving it probably won’t be Mexico. But the climate change thing is something I worry about. I live in the Netherlands, most parts are below sea level. The dykes are being reinforced, but the plans for now are finished in about 10 years and won’t be high and strong enough in about 5 years, so we need to start to reinforce it even more 5 years before the current plans are being completed. At the same time ground water levels are getting lower, so trees are unable to get water from the ground and die, so the roots will die too and won’t be able to hold the ground together. It’s getting harder and harder pumping drinking water from the ground. Next to that, salt seawater is normally held back in the ground by the ground water, but because it’s level is getting lower while the sea level is rising, salt seawater is making it’s way into the ground, killing more greenery because it’s polluting the groundwater and making it undrinkable. So I may be forced to move, as well as most inhabitants here if this shit continues. 10 to 12 million people forced to relocate due to lack of water AND too much water at the same time. Weird AF.

That’s seriously fucked up. I wouldn’t want to contribute to that. Sadly, I’ve seen this shit way to often and I strongly oppose to it.

I need to spend that much for basics, like food and a roof over my head. I’m basically a slave, I need to work most of my life without being able to build up anything. No saving, buying a house, etc.

But I’m aware I live in one of the wealthiest countries, where I do not have to fear anything no matter where I go. I’m aware I’m extremely lucky to have been born here. I’ve seen how life can be different, when I went on deployment to the Middle East and Africa. I’ve been to horrible places and have seen horrible things.

But life here is extremely expensive. We make more money, but in the end we have nothing left after we payed all the bills to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. I don’t have much to lose, as I’m depressed AF, alone as my wife left me, stuck with PTSD from when I was in the military, unable to enjoy life anymore somehow. So a holiday in Mexico where I snort loads of cocain with a bunch of hookers before I get robbed and killed doesn’t sound so bad really.

Ha! Jokes on you! I’m poor because I have to spend 1900 euros per month on rent alone so there’s nothing to rob me of. You can’t even rob me of my dignity anymore.

Jokes aside, I’m aware of the major issues Mexico has. I’ve never been there but I would love to visit as it’s a beautiful country. But I’m too chicken to go due to the high crime rate etc. And tickets are too expensive, I wasn’t joking about having no money because my decent salary is being sucked up completely by rent, taxes, bills, insurances and food.

But I’m glad Mexico has elected a leader I could only dream of. I hope she can make a change towards better. Or at least, I hope she is what she looks like. I mean, is she really good or only looks like that (like the president of India). At least she looks like Merkel + + +

I’m going to move to Mexico I guess. Here in The Netherlands, as well as most of the European countries, right wing extremism is on the rise. Who would have thought it would be Mexico to show we don’t have to live in a dystopian shit show.

First things first: not all VPN providers do not log. Many do. And they are happy to sell the data. So keep that in mind when choosing one. Proton is the best imo, I’m a happy user of their services for many years now. They are subject to Swiss privacy laws.

Torrenting isn’t illegal but it can be used to illegally download. Just like the internet in general.

It’s like a car. It’s a normal form of transportation but if you want you can break the law with it. If it’s your car, it’s easy for them to find you. When you rented the car and the rental company doesn’t log user data, it’s impossible to prove who was the driver. But the rental company isn’t to blame, as they didn’t break the law.

Same with VPN providers. They provide a legitimate service which people could use for illegal business. But when there is no user data, there’s no proof of who did it. But the VPN provider can’t be blamed either, they did nothing wrong.

I’m not allowed to go, but I sure would love to see that dictstorship with my own eyes.

Nice. Just no food.

Ah yeah. With the current storage data on phones, while trips there usually are a week or so, 3G isn’t fast enough for them to spy on all the tourists’ data

I got the vaccine so now I have perfect cell reception! Always 5G everywhere. A week ago I lost 1 bar, so I think I should get a booster vaccination. Also, now I’m magnetic, I never lose my phone. Plus, suddenly I love my government so I’m not angry all the time. /s

4G for what? They don’t have internet openly available.

The caption of his meme standing with a sink in the building after purchase said “let that sink in” but it should have said “I’m going to sink this company”

Poor Spotify. Here’s a Link to a documentary about the dark side of Spotify, by Slightly Sociable. Their illegal business, extortion of artists and support for scamming.

Yeah support Grayjay! It’s a great project by people (incl. Louis Rossmann) who fight for right to repair en against giant corporates oppression (like Google). Even though the app is still in beta, it’s great! And if you have issues or recommendations, they personally reply rather fast and are super helpful.

Louis Rossmann launched a new app Grayjay, which is to follow artists across platforms. It’s YouTube ad free, has another comments layer without YouTube monetization, allows downloads and they are working on sponsor block. It costs $10 because they do not sell your data, but it works without paying too because they are not assholes. But they are worth it to get the 10 bucks imo. He’s a strong fighter for right to repair, one of Google, Samsung and Apple’s biggest enemy. Grayjay.app is the website to download. He has a video on it on YouTube explaining everything.

Camels however, know everything about sharks, you, me, time, space, everything and everyone, whether the cat in the box is alive or not.
