  • 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.










  • Trump has the “excuse” of having to depend on El Salvador for this but there’s no way Bukele has no control over their prison system. This is the same guy that had the weight to “sanitize” El Salvador of criminals, i’m sure there’s nothing within El Salvador’s borders this guy can’t control.

    In other words, this man will die in CECOT.

    This guy is likely already dead, which would also be the only somewhat logical explanation as to why Nayib can’t return him.





  • Sony: we‘ll make it a little more expensive for everyone else, so no one feels left out

    Let me fix that for you:

    Sony: We‘ll make it a little more expensive for everyone else so our US sales don’t sink harder than a brick in a pond.

    Companies really don’t care about people feeling left out. Company’s fear loss of sales. And that Trumps senseless antics by proxy of Sony make the PlayStation more expensive in my end of the world low key aggravates me, even if it’s only 50 bucks.

    America voted for this, we didn’t.
