@celestialbe1ng Now check Donat mineral water from Slovenia and it will do to this water what this water did to UK water

Polish mineral water is so mineralised it’s basically a calcium + magnesium supplement in a bottle. Poland can’t stop catching Ws <3🫧🇵🇱

@pmarca Yes. Behavior shapes identity.

TLDR There is no inner self, you're chasing an imaginary concept, the end.

@the_transit_guy Literally several dozens of smaller versions along the croatian coastline. A country with less then 4 million people.

I find it statistically impossible to believe that in a “rich” country of 330 million people, there’s no demand for a single coastal city/town that looks like this.

@buccocapital Also - do you want to experience the highest form of love

I think this is actually quite simple: Are you willing to no longer be the most important person in your own life? If yes, be a parent. No? Do not, under any circumstances, have a child.

@Sherrypeter Walking by a busy road is a weird flex

out for a walk in dubai and posting about it because nothing bothers this app more than someone choosing to live here and loving it

@tiboel Cargo cult

Today, a dream becomes reality. We are officially starting the construction of Wat.com⚡ The first European incubator based in Brussels 🇪🇺 After a year of preparation, alongside an exceptional team, we are ready to bring this former 10,000 m² power plant back to life in the heart of Ixelles’ student district. In less than two years, this place will host hundreds of entrepreneurs building the next generation of European startups 🚀 To strengthen our digital sovereignty. To defend our values and our democracies. To tackle the climate challenge. To face geopolitical tensions. We need this more than ever. WAT is not only designed for entrepreneurs. It is built for the entire tech community: associations, corporates, investors, and organizations supporting innovation. A place to work, meet, debate and build together 🤝 An inclusive place that brings people together rather than dividing them. A place to nourish the mind through creative spaces and events 🎤, share a coffee or lunch ☕, and take care of yourself with a gym open to all members 🏋️ A huge thank you to everyone making this possible 🙏 Louis Langendries and Charlotte Keup Twyce Architects and Études Architecture & Design @Belfius Bank Today with WAT, we are not just laying a first brick. We are laying the foundations of a European ecosystem. ⚡🇪🇺

@PopCrave Real person vs corporate shell

Burger King CEO takes a big bite of a Whopper in new video after McDonald’s CEO went viral for reluctantly nibbling the chain’s new Big Arch Burger.

@ChivalryGuild Perfect example of soulless corporate class

Managerialism, perfectly captured. Banal, fake, lifeless—both the leaders of mass organizations and the "product" they peddle. Getting out of our civilizational disaster requires us to understand how we got into it in the first place. Though he's not personally impressive, this type of guy claims to have a very important skill: managing colossal organizations. He's good at paperwork, corporate lingo, cya, credentialing, "best practices," focus group morality, and so on. As almost all American institutions got massive, these competencies were in higher demand; so this guy and others like him came to rule American society. Sam Francis offers a good summary in Beautiful Losers: “In the early twentieth century, the increasing massiveness of American society appeared to demand new organizational forms of control. The imperatives of mass scale in the economy, in government and politics, and in social and cultural life gave rise to a new elite that found its principle power base in bureaucracy. In both the public and private sectors, the bureaucratic, organization of power and control appeared to be the only means of ruling modern mass units. In the private sector the evolution of bureaucratic dominance followed the ‘separation of ownership and control’ in the large corporations and took the form of managerial direction of large corporate firms … But there was no fundamental difference between the interests of the bureaucrats of the public sector and those of the private sector. Both bureaucratic realms shared a common mentality: a rationalistic faith in administrative and manipulative techniques as a means of holding and exercising power.” It's a function of scale. Brilliant and talented people typically don't do well with this bureaucratic stuff. They are aristocrats of the spirit, and they flourish on a humane scale. But managers are in their element when it comes to colossalism. The managers' awfulness sets the tone. They have remade everything in their own image and likeness, including turning McDonald's all-American cuisine into poisonous "product." This has happened on basically every level of American society.

@Kat_flufy Around 14% of european population would know

imagine living above an aldi what kind of life is that like

@MaMoMVPY What are they supposed to say on Monday then?

That post from Ursula von der Leyen is getting quite a bit of attention on social media. It's mostly people poking fun at Europeans for not wanting to work at weekends (often from self-loathing Europeans). But seriously – what are Europeans supposed to say? The US and Israel have launched an attack on Iran. An attack that in no way adheres to international rules. And the Europeans were not consulted in the slightest. In Europe, we have a war – Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine. That should be our focus. The US has demonstrated time and again that it has no respect for Europe. So why should we even have any opinion on this whatsoever? Europe's view of the Iranian regime is crystal clear and always has been. That hasn't changed – and everyone ought to know it. Foreign policy is not conducted on social media – and it is exceedingly rare that a decades-long problem can be fixed with missiles over a weekend. It has never happened. It is therefore completely irrelevant what the Europeans might have to say in the middle of an attack whose outcome nobody can predict. So yes, it is perfectly reasonable to announce that we in the EU will meet on Monday – and yes, there has undoubtedly been a great deal of inter-European communication in the run-up to this attack and over the weekend, but political decisions are simply best taken when proper procedures are followed and a strategy is put in place. Trump may well believe that problems are solved with bombs and idiotic pronouncements on social media, but day by day the long-term costs of this behaviour are mounting – geopolitically and economically. And yes, when the time comes to clean up after Trump's mess, I rather suspect the Americans will come expecting the Europeans to muck in with the clean-up. That'll be a no from us.

@ZssBecker Stopping your lineage that went for thousand of generations does place you one rung below. Procreation is literally the number one job for any species. Not doing it does place you one rung below. It is not about knocking someone up, it is about raising another human.

I constantly see people shamed for not having kids on here. It always follows this pattern. 1. The shamer is always a man of no real accomplishment 2. The shamed is always a more successful guy The truth : only betas worry about other men’s reproductive habits as it’s the one easy shot they can take at greater men to justify their mediocre lives because they can hide their jealously behind false virtue. It’s never women screaming this. Never directed at lower class struggling men. Just beta dorks passive aggressively using their father hood to make them selves feel superior to men that have beaten them in life. Actually happy wise men with kids don’t spend their time worrying other dudes getting women pregnant. They instead just hang out with their kids and enjoy being happy. Have kids. Don’t have kids. It’s all good. Just please remember the fact that you knocked someone up doesn’t place you in a higher bracket of being. Billions have done it. Your experience is not rare or novel. So maybe just shut up, enjoy your kids and stop worrying about what other men do with their dicks. Namaste.

@bensig @KimDotcom Who cleans the toilets in 2030?

Get ready to lose your job…

@Bernstein Kids are supposed to play outside mostly. Your microlocation is crucial. Modern urbanism is parenting hell.

More of parenting than I expected is sitting lifelessly on the couch from 530-730pm while your children physically and mentally break you

@Amonahan Underwhelming if you've ever been to Mediterranean

this is the most beautiful drive in the world

@AncestralHealtx Nah, I feel my best high in the mountains skiing

Why the Tropics Feel So Good Ever notice how people feel lighter, calmer, and more alive in the tropics? - Strong, stable sunlight - Bare feet on the ground - Less clothing = more skin in the sun - Fresh local food, often from the sea That combo supercharges: - thyroid function - mood - metabolism
