Maar vooral blijven doen alsof er niets aan de hand is 😵💫

@MarijkeLouisevd Ach deze hoor ik zo vaak: Niks mis met (vul in) hoor, maar ze moeten wel een beetje normaal doen, vindt je ook niet?

@atrupar This is like a shitty taxi driver bragging about how good he is at farting in one direction. He's sitting down, so the fart ends up in his chair anyway and sticks around for a very long time. Useless to even brag about it, but he does it anyway and makes everything even worse.

That is a fair point and I do not disagree with the sequencing. The US and Israel moved unilaterally without NATO consultation and then complained when allies did not follow. That contradiction is real.
But the burden sharing problem predates this conflict by decades. NATO members have been under the 2% GDP defense spending target since 2006 and most of Europe still has not hit it consistently. Trump is using a legitimate long term grievance to cover for a specific short term decision that he made without asking anyone.
Both things can be true. The unilateral strike was poorly coordinated with allies. AND Europe has been free riding on US military capacity for 30 years. One does not cancel out the other.

@indieauntieowl @Unlimited_BU @atrupar Netanyahu repeated the same thing about Iran for DECADES: 'Tomorrow Iran will have nuclear weapons'
Lying? I don't know. But suddenly Trump says the same thing? Oh but bad regime. Bad! Surely you see that they're doing a good thing? No, not really. I think there's another agenda

@Unlimited_BU @EdwinHeida @atrupar Not to mention Ben the majority of all the NATO allies have been economically bullied since he took office, and now he’s bullying them to help after he started this mess without any conversation with said allies. It’s hard to maintain relationships when one side is abusive
English

@Unlimited_BU @atrupar For Christ sake Benjamin. The USA and Israel started attacking Iran without even notifying any of its allies. CAUSING issues, not solving them. And then they ask their allies to help? To do what? Create a bigger mess? Because that is what would have happened.

@exQUIZitely Back in 2004 I picked a fantasy. I wanted a troll hunter, with a raptor pet. They still exist today. There was no knowledge about how good this class or role was. I picked it because I loved the idea. That's what made vanilla special. I've been dps, healer, and tank. Tank stuck.

This one goes out to all the OGs that played World of Warcarft back in the day. If you were part of the "first wave", what a great run it was, wasn't it?
Lots of Warcraft related posts popped up in my timeline today and it made me think of why I chose to play a DPS class back in the day. Simple answer: Low skill ceiling.
Honestly, when I look at the 4 main roles (maybe there are even more these days?), and I would assign a difficulty level to each of them, this would be my ranking (from 1 to 10).
Raid Leader: 10
Tank: 8
Healer: 7
DPS: 4
The amount of preparation, skill (both game skills and people skills) that are required from a good raid leader always felt off the charts. How anyone was doing it was beyond me, mad respect to all you Raid Leaders out there, past and present.
I also had a fair bit of respect for tanks. Getting the rotations right, the taunt, keeping threat, managing your gear and potions, coordinating between main and off-tank... always felt pretty epic to me. The pressure must have been very high - you mess up, raid is toast.
Healers were third on that list for me. Still requiring a fair bit of skill and coordination but I would assume not as much pressure as the tanks. There were usually multiple healers in raids so if you messed up slightly it could be managed. Correct?
And finally to all my fellow DPS buddies, I was one of you. Just standing there and pew pewing away. Good times. As long as you weren't completely devoid of skill, it was a pretty chill role. I never played anything else, always a DPS, just tagging along. That was my skill ceiling and it made WoW a fun ride.
Shout out to all you legends of days long gone! Hopefully my little trip down memory lane wasn't too far off the mark. What were you back in the day? Tank, Healer, DPS... or maybe even Raid Leader?

@maenen1949 @HRutger14 @qipharma Eens, maar is diplomatie niet meer het vinden van een balans tussen wat alle partijen nodig hebben? Dus niet al je principes overboord gooien? Anders blijft er niets meer over. Dit voelt meer als slijmen. Is slijmen diplomatiek zijn? Dat werkt m.i. vooral tegen jou en je positie.
Nederlands

@HRutger14 @qipharma Ik denk dat hij sowieso geen keuze heeft; als secretaris generaal van de NAVO kan je beter geen openlijke kritiek op Trump, die een afkeer van de NAVO heeft, hebben. Dat heet diplomatiek zijn en dus je persoonlijke mening even inslikken.
Nederlands

Ik schaam me voor mijn land als ik die Trump paladijn van een Rutte hoor praten.
Thorsten Benner@thorstenbenner
"The president doing this is crucial. I've seen the polling, but I really hope American people will be with him because he's doing this to make the whole world safer". How judicious on the part of Rutte to cheer a war pushing world toward economic crisis.

@jwprosje Ik zag haar lang geleden in Paradiso, Amsterdam. Geweldige artiest. Blij dat ze er nog is, en nog zo mooi kan zingen. Mooi mens, mooi nummer.

@andrenftart @Rainmaker1973 Used to live an apartment, second floor. We had this huge inner yard with lots of bushes and trees, great for cats. So my neighbor above me crafted a bridge made out of wood from his balcony to mine, and one to the ground. Worked like charm, our cats were happier.

@Rainmaker1973 You ever rigged up something custom for a pet? 🤔

@Joe7993 @mr_mayank @Overzeerer Netanyahu has been lying about ‘Iran have nukes ready tomorrow’ for decades. It’s bullshit.

@mr_mayank @Overzeerer The whole point is "No Nukes"

And to mark the 10 year anniversary of Slain : BFH
it is on sale for a short time for $1.29.
In 10 years I am now on my 4th game in the series.
I see Slain's Influence everywhere, but it gets little credit, but it is nice to see it :)
oh well

@Onair58 @RobJetten Trump zei, en zegt nog dagelijks veel ergere dingen over heel veel mensen. Dat neemt ook hij nooit terug. Lijkt mij goed dat dhr Jetten hier als premier van Nederland gewoon zijn rug recht houdt. Ik heb daar meer respect voor dan het geslijm dat Rutte nu laat zien richting Trump.
Nederlands

Een man, een man, een woord, een woord. Jetten heeft dat toen getweet en neemt het niet terug. "En als Wilders dat beetje aandacht nodig heeft, moet hij dat vooral doen." D66 niet mijn partij. Maar wel respect voor de rechte rug van @RobJetten
Wilders gaat voor het hele land af!

@Onair58 Het sentiment en de onvrede, ook in Nederland, blijft groeien.

Wát gaat er mis. Mennziet het fiasco van Trump, van Orban in Hongarije, van Poetin, Nethanyahu en tóch wordt extreem rechts groter. Wáárom? 🤔

@TheFigen_ I know it’s meant to be positive, and it certainly is great to observe it, but I have a hard time watching any creature in a cage these days. It just saddens me.
