Sure there is isn’t a lot to be optimistic about. I’m not optimistic in any quantifiable sense. I just like to think “we can make it through this” rather than “we’re all gonna die”. That’s the only way how I can keep my sanity.

I’m a Teacher in a private school in the Netherlands. We don’t get those breaks (because private sector), but there also is no class. So this year we’re doing a work week in France with some colleagues at someone’s family summer house. Otherwise, breaks are usually a good time to get some actual work done.

You guys seem like a fun bunch to hang out with

Allegory about AI? How about every mayor company in the world, from Nestle to Amazon and from Microsoft to BP

God damnit! In my teens I was pretty hard into a drum-n-bass band called “black sun empire”. I feel violated now :(

You point that out now, and it’s glaringly obvious. But somehow, when I’m writing down my thoughts, it doesn’t even pop my mind that something is badly phrased.

Remember you said “serious question”, so you’lk get a serious answer… It’s just the whole energy of it all. I don’t like it when people go “look at me, I deserve to be seen”. I get it, it’s about human rights and whatnot, but I just don’t like it. It makes me extremely uncofortable. To me it’s the same when someone in restaurant starts making a scene because something didn’t go the way they want. I don’t mean the entitlement, of course, but the confidence and the publicity of it all. It’s the complete polar opposite of who I am.

I mean, you do you, fine by me, but you’re gonna have to do it without me.

But not in this case. There’s a real emergency in Hunagry that needs to be protested and a pride parade is a very appropriate way to do it. So I would attend this one, if I had the means and oppertunity to do that.

I’m not a big fan of gay pride parades, but in this case I’m a huge fan. I’m glad to see that the harder you kick them down, the harder they bounce back. Fuck Orban!
