  • I likely don’t notice always, most posts I don’t comment on and then I don’t check back either for example. But I glad you do your part. I think my only problem with the moderation is what post do and don’t stay, I never saw a rude comment for example stay up for long. As op points out, a lot of political stuff do get their fair share of upvotes so it becomes hard to see if moderation is agreeing or not enforcing. But I think this poster saying ‘I don’t care if I break the communities rules, the upvotes prove the content is good’ doesn’t leave much room except for difficult choices.







  • As a Dutchy I am a bit sceptic about this, I mean the effort of the city is good so is their intention but it’s also a bit weird this designation comes from a foreigner who talks about breda like an American tourist does about many people one bicycles here:

    “I absolutely loved exploring Breda and learning about all the things they are doing to make their city greener, healthier and wilder – from restoring a river through the middle of the city to innovative community food growing programmes, tiny forests set up by schools, wildlife-friendly gardens and public art,” says Daniel Raven-Ellison, founder of the National Park City Foundation.

    I mean at least half of those things are plans that are not finished yet. But maybe my Dutch ass is spoiled and I should not complain because breda is a great city town to live in I guess.


  • I’ve been saying for years governments need to switch from fighting drugs to taxing drugs. If you authorise growers with permits and sell under set conditions you can earn what criminals earn and also save loads of money on police. You’d probably still need law enforcement for the really hardcore stuff since it won’t prevent regular addicts turning into junkies, but at least you have control over gateway drugs like weed and mdma in a similar way as you have control over alcohol and nicotine. The current system is broken and expensive. I am sober 8 years, I am not saving this because I think drugs are a good thing and am also not saying this so I can use drugs with less hassle.
