  • This, entirely. Although I dont even wake up later. In fact I’m ready to act on things earlier than I would be had I immediately gone to the office, because I’m already looking at mail and tasks when I would normally leave.

    Hybrid working is only a problem to people stuck in the eighties.





  • Yeah i’m definitely in team “flexibility”. I really don’t mind going to the office, tbh, even mostly, but rush hour commuting can go fuck itself and I’m just not subjecting myself to that anymore. I can start up at home and then move to the office when less people are moving themselves around.




  • I’m fairly left leaning, in the US I’d own a weapon. But only because of how much they are a part of life there. Living in a country where gun ownership is the exception, I’m only pro gun in the sense that I like things that go boom. What I like more is the relative certainty my neighbor won’t pull a piece on me on a bad day and we don’t have to kit schools out with dystopian crap like panic rooms in case some deranged lunatic rolls up.




  • A lot of formerly bad neighborhoods are turning, and I think that’s mostly due to gentrification, not because the idea behind the neighborhood (in this case Bijlmer) was somehow belatedly good…

    The idea of the Bijlmer and how it was presented sounded great on paper, but neighborhoods that are exclusively these cheap stacked blocks still mostly attract people on the bottom of the economic ladder and thusly also a relatively large amount of people that will misbehave in various ways. I don´t think culture is relevant here.

    This status quo changes now because apartments evidently go for 300 to 400k “because Amsterdam” and the people they originally built those blocks for can´t afford that in a million years.
