  • I don’t get it. I go to Instagram a couple of times a day. I start scrolling. The third post is something I haven’t followed or liked. Then the fourth, and the fifth. So I close the app. I spend like 5 minuter there daily. The whole discover page is just filled with trash I have no interest for.

    Sure I enjoy climbing. But I don’t care for videos of people tying knots or lightly dressed chicks doing some low grade bouldering. Why does the app think it’s better than me?




  • Women can be strong and mentally superior to men. But saying women are weaker because of propaganda is just wrong.

    Female oplympians aren’t slower or weaker because men told them to be. Serena Williams lost vs rank 203 male tennis players during Williams’ peak. There’s plenty of strong women who could kick Tue average males ass. But has a higher baseline strength, and a higher threshold. If they didn’t there would be more mixed competitions.

    This whole thing is bait.

    Anyone engaging on any side of the debate are fools. Any topic antagonizing half the population will somehow stir up some noise.

    It’s like saying all women are bad at sport because they don’t train hard enough. It’s ignorant and serves only the purpose of creating a divide in the population.

    Stop engaging in the divide.









  • Being a pedestrian in Amsterdam can be pretty bad. Dutch on bikes are insane. No slowing down is allowed. The bike might be rigged like the bus in Speed or whatever. Ready to explode.

    People on heavy e-bikes are riding 25km/h over pedestrian crossings with poor visibility.

    It is dangerous, and should be treated as such.

    Cars in Amsterdam is a much smaller consern than bikes. Really.

    Been there. Beautiful city. Terrible biking culture. The Dutch know. They reference it occasionally.

    So. In Norway we have this great system for returning used bottles for cash. We get 0.2$ for a 0.5 liter bottle. People are returning the bottle with the cap on. Seeing bottle caps laying around isn’t a thing.

    Instead of attaching the cap to the bottle. Make a return system for the bottles. People are not systematically seperating the bottle and the cap as the cap keeps the sugary residue left inside the bottle in place instead of in the bag you carry them with to the store for returning them for that sweet cash.

    Attaching the cap is a solution looking for a problem.

    Having travelled a lot around in Europe I have never seen bottle caps laying the street alone. People throw them together or not at all.

    This is bureaucracy time spent on caps instead of actual problems. So they could focus on actual issues instead of this shit. It’s a testament to how they blame every issue on random people instead of the industries inventing new ways to fuck up any ecosystem.
