I know how I'm supposed to interpret it but ever since the first time I saw that slogan I perceived it more like a threat.
"But at what cost!?"
This may sound silly but by any chance do you use soaps and detergents with a lot of scent/perfume? Some people in my family used to get chronic headaches until they switched to scent-free stuff.
All I can say is "I, too, like to write fan fiction to help me sleep at night"
The alt-text on that image tho: "Mature bearded Caucasian man feeling upset after being resigned from successful company." 😅
That's okay, the Dutch will just keep fracking their northern provinces and causing mini-earthquakes which severely damage the local residents housing. Then the government will gaslight them about it for decades and eventually half-apologize and offer insufficient compensation for their own citizens to rebuild. Another scandal swept under the rug by the oh-so-pragmatic Dutch government.
(I should have written this in a proper past tense because this already happened)
Even though I am frustrated about it I do sincerely hope you are correct. Thanks for your reply
They did indeed, but despite the great optics of 100,000 people dressed in red shirts 'drawing a red line', it was in realty full of liberals (including several liberal party representatives who voted to send weapons to Israel) who were shouting down activists who tried to start chants of "free Palestine", "from the river to the sea", and other popular slogans we know.
After the march there were several photos of these red-shirted libs in Starbucks and McDonalds, both of which are on the BDS list and have been specifically targeted by activists. Dutch-leftist twitter and instagram has been abuzz about this and there have been quite some pictures, screenshots, critiques, and warnings about yet another anti-Zionist movement getting overrun and watered down by establishment liberals in the 11th hour after so much of their willful blindness.
Meanwhile every other pro-Palestine protest in NL is treated violently by the police, even today the day after the big fancy redshirt protest. To be clear I don't mean that as a dig against Nakba Day, but against the apparent average attendee. I do sincerely hope these libs start to wake up and actually speak up but this march yesterday was an "approved parade".
Please excuse the rant, it's been bothering me all day.
Yes I'm 100% sure. The archive function operates almost identically to Whatsapp. As far as exports, I recall Signal used to allow you to export your chats (both encrypted and unencrypted IIRC) but I don't see it in the settings anymore. But to be fair I've been using it since it was still called TextSecure so maybe that function was removed a long time ago. The last time I recall exporting a Signal chat was around 2018 or so

No one on here will want to hear this but it damn well needs to be said: how much of our beloved "left" were/are useful idiots promoting radical surgeries and hormonal manipulations on children? Complete with the pre-accusation that not supporting life-altering surgeries on children is 'transphobic'?
A grown and matured human may do what ever they want with their own body, but children? The same children who are literally figuring out themselves and will make many mistakes as they grow up because they have near zero life experience including the understanding of their own bodies? Not to mention the vastly different experience of one's own body pre- and post-puberty.
"oh but if the kids have to wait to transition until they are an adult then they may not be passable". <- a creepy effing phrase said to me by an alleged socialist (and similar conversations with several SocDems and prog-libs). To which I must yell "stop sexualizing children!!!!! Yes you are already sexualizing children if you are considering their pass-ability!!!!!!" I shouldn't even have to write this. I don't want to write it, but someone needs to put their neck out and speak an obvious truth. Yet another emperor which has no clothes.
Go ahead and bring up that one child you met that one time which "YOU JUST KNEW" was trans from the age of 3 or whatever, I'll wait. Such an anecdote, if even real, hardly makes up for the especially high numbers of transitioning children which are almost certainly not trans but more likely gay, bi, or simply curious and/or confused about their bodies, and yet again adults come into their early life to screw with the rest of their life with allegedly good intentions. Misguided (allegedly) good intentions can blow themselves.
