  • Most stores in my city (in The Netherlands) just have a little terminal you can carry around the store with you. I scan my items with the terminal, it shows me the total price, discounts, points acquired (if I scan my customer card) and then i have the terminal scan the QR code on the self checkout and I just pay. Everything is already in my bag and they rarely check. It's great!

  • You got upset because you missed a +1AC item? There's so many much better items in that game I'm surprised this one matters so much.

    I totally recognise playing the perfect game angle though, depending on the game I look up collectibles ahead of time, so that when I find the area I know there's one nearby.

  • I don't get it

  • Fucking love Denmark too

  • Don't get the started on the mental gymnastics of those Americans. They bitch and whine about how people don't treat them the same as the locals, even though after 5 years they speak know only the absolute basics of the local language.

    I don't know how they justify it, but they seem to think being American puts them above other cultures by default.

  • That's right, it can even be interesting to make comparisons and hear people's viewpoints. Unfortunately it was very often from an attitude of not knowing why we wouldn't do it like the USA does it, cuz that works so well. Those conversations get tiring after a while.

  • Your security, is the connection to the outside world safe?

  • Exactly! There's no need for competition, but they (blanket statement) always made it about "oh it's like that here, but in the USA...".

  • Western European here, I'm just happy Americans living here are finally getting off their high horse and realize maybe the USA isn't the best at everything.

  • What about security? How easy is it to crack?

  • The TV is also bad, but smartphones are literally slot machines in the child's pocket that keep giving them dopamine hits. It's many times worse for the brain.

    There are parental controls etc. But the nature of the device is addictive with its notifications and the likes.

  • More and more governments issue warning about the effects of screens on baby, toddler, and child brain development. The age the Netherlands puts forward now is 14 to have a smartphone, and no screens or very limited until 3 years of age.

  • Bayonetta dropped one on us where the guy had like 7 overlapping health bars.

  • The parents and their sleep hygiene play a huge role in this. My parents always went to bed around 22h30 and I had my bedtime routine as well. Sleep hygiene was taught to me from a very young age. Turn off screens, brush my teeth, go into bed, read a bit or play with my plush animals. I always slept within minutes.

    Structure and consistency is so important to a healthy sleep schedule. Now I can sleep at any time virtually anywhere. It's awesome

  • Sunset is bedtime my dude

  • That is not entirely true: https://www.nederlandwereldwijd.nl/nederlandse-nationaliteit/nederlander-worden-geboorte-erkenning

    The point that takes this as topic is: "Op de dag van uw geboorte woonden u en uw vader of moeder in Nederland. En uw opa of oma woonde op de dag dat uw vader of moeder werd geboren ook in Nederland."

    Which translates to

    "On the day you were born, you and your father or mother lived in the Netherlands. And your grandfather or grandmother lived on the day your father or mother was born in the Netherlands."

    So it's not as simple as you put it, there's an extra step there in the form of a grandparent.

  • I don't understand why this would be a massive problem in the USA. My country (the netherlands) doesn't have birthright citizenship and it hasn't caused any issues. Why would it be different in the USA?

  • Nope, and since our governments are virtually all coalitions it's much more difficult for something like that to happen here. I'm thankful for the style of government my country has, where everyone needs to make concessions. It has its drawbacks, but it does protect the country against this type of power grab.

  • You overestimate the adaptability of the average software stack. I worked at companies where even adding another button to the cart screen was a monumental undertaking
