It’s also one of those sentences that changes meaning depending on which word you accentuate.

If they mount stuff as askew as they did with that plaque I might look a bit further for a contractor
- Comment on I'm looking for a particular community in Lemmy. It's kind of like ask Lemmy, But with really bad responses. It's more of a joke community. I've seen it in the past but can't find it 2 weeks ago:
Hey I’m not advocating the usage of it, I’m just answering a question.
I think some of the communities are just good fun, I’m not judging any of the characters who visit the instance. But I agree that some of the communities and some of its patrons have a not so open minded view of the world and prefer to speak in a language of hate rather than a language of love. I stand against that. But I do stand against broad censorship in the grand scheme of things. I prefer a world when people can say anything they like as long as they take the time to look at issues from several angles that do not correspond with their own. Right wing, left wing, it doesn’t really matter as long as we all take the time to really appreciate where someone else is coming from.
As long as their opinion is sufficiently substantiated.
And I do concur with you that hate speech towards any groups of people in general is not a part of that discord.

- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 5 weeks ago:
I haven’t looked at the performance reviews per system yet but I recall the complaints for Borderlands 3 mainly came from people trying to run it on an old i5 with a 1060 or similar. You need a high end system, that much is clear. Or you need to get comfortable with 30 fps.
I’m not saying Randy is right to strike that tone, but you can’t deny there is a point to saying that some games are meant to be played on powerful systems and won’t accept anything less.
- Comment on This game is fantastic. 5 weeks ago:
It was also on sale on PC, I’ve been getting lost in it. It’s amazing. It makes me wonder if I should be playing Alan Wake as well. I once got Alan Wake II with my GPU but I sold it

It’s funny that the Dutch version is pretty close to what the English one should be: bemoei je met je eigen zaken, literally mind your own business.

- Comment on Safety Razors are amazing 3 months ago:
Well I only did a one timer now. My routine is as follows:
Use a face cleaner by Boldking, rinse off with lukewarm water. Dry off.
Lather up with the cream gel by Boldking.
Shave with the grain.
Wash off cold, dry.
Then I apply after shave cream by Bodking.

- Comment on Can an American go to Europe just for cheaper healthcare? 3 months ago:
I take an injection every four weeks, they cost 600 each. Add up a few visits to the dentist, GP and a check up at an academic hospital and I’d pay about a third of the actual cost.
Then again my dad never has any ailments, lives a healthy lifestyle with a lot of exercise and he pays the same.
- Comment on Can an American go to Europe just for cheaper healthcare? 3 months ago:
Yep the issue with our system is that people who never see a doctor or a hospital pay for the ones that have been dealt a rough hand or live unhealthy. The idea is that being ill is not the standard. You should be able to do a Pareto analysis of costs and it might check out.
- Comment on Can an American go to Europe just for cheaper healthcare? 3 months ago:
It varies per country. If you would go to the Netherlands, you’d still need health insurance. You can only get it if you are a Dutch citizen in some way. The costs of this are about 180/month. Plus you have what we call your own risk. If you need healthcare you pay 385 maximum yourself. If you can’t pay that, there are installment plans. And if the 180 a month is too steep for you, there is support from the Belastingdienst (IRS) that is dependent on your income.
So example: if you need an operation that is covered in basic Dutch health insurance and you would live here for a year on work visum, you might pay 2400 a year in insurance costs and 385 own risk, totaling to 2785. If the operation would cost more than that in the US, you’re in luck.
This is all provided you can get health insurance in the Netherlands.
In the Netherlands, as a Dutch citizen, health insurance is mandatory.
