  • I mean, this unit is Belgian. Here in the Netherlands our southern neighbors are (lovingly) said to be… uh, well… how do I say it? Slightly less wrinklybrained. :p

    Jokes aside: This assessment is probably realistic at this very moment; we still very much rely on the USAians for many cloud and AI services. EU is making quite an effort to localize though. Fairly certain the reliance will much decrease. At the same time, it is not realistic to assume we will be able to match the level of technological advancement overseas. Honestly, one might wonder if this is required.

    Fairly certain we will be just fine in the long run.


  • Why the honor system specifically? Why would that serve to express emotions better?

    I equate honor with dignity, which would mean that being treated with disrespect is similar/equal to being dishonored – do we hold the same definition?

    Feeling disrespected is emotional; being angry and/or sad, hurt because you are treated worse than you feel you deserve.

    Is that considered “therapy speak”? I personally (thankfully) am not close to or directly affected by the ‘manosphere’ – although I do read a lot about it online and am aware that it is a big problem in western countries at the moment. It is not easy to tackle and will take a multimodal approach.
