@domo @scremlin Oh! After a bit more searching, it seems that the listing you're referring to is https://www.mondkapjes.nl/en/ffp2-mask-black-eu.html (which didn't show for me on the frontpage), I got it mixed up with the one that's approximately 99 cents *per mask* (ie. 19.95 EUR for a pack of 20)

Uspol, rightwing death, whiteness in a nutshell, some ableist wording in quoted toot

It is so darkly funny to me that folks who participated in notorious fascist acts of violence like J6 or this guy showing up at the pizza place who are later set free keep dying at the hands of police bc we still live in a police state.
I mean, largely symbolic acts of the government removing consequences from their actions and deceiving them into believing they're invincible, only for them to turn around and get killed by the armed enforcers of that same government very quickly bc they're still not the ruling class? And are still very much at risk like the rest of us?
If that ain't the perfect example of whiteness in a nutshell idk what is!

how dare you write something like this on the website of a university
"efficient, well-ordered" 🤣
People complain about 'leftist infighting' and how that supposedly means leftists can't get anything done but like, have you ever really looked at what the social dynamics within actual operating governments are like?
Because every time some story about it comes out, it sure sounds awfully similar.

@futurebird I do think in terms of letters, sort of. It's a mostly subconscious process, but I can *make* it conscious and analyze it.
Basically I break the thing I want to type into a sequence of letters (making use of my ticker tape synesthesia in the process), and then my brain presents a sort of 'movement plan' with the exact physical locations to press and movements to get there.
I can visualize that plan in my head, and essentially 'see' a keyboard with paths drawn over it, in my mind's eye (or, if I choose to, see it 'overlaid' on top of my actual vision).
Likewise, given a letter, I can determine the physical location on the keyboard in my head from memory; but I have much more difficulty with *sequentially* rattling off from memory the keys that exist on a given keyboard row.

I cleaned my keyboard and accidentally swapped the B and V keycaps.
This has caused me to discover that for writing words I touch type as I have no problem using the board like this... but when I try to copy and paste text? I *do* look at the keys and the swap fools me every time.
Experimental design!
I use a 40% keyboard with three layers at home. I do not know why I bother to do this it's very annoying but the keyboard is so handsome looking...
Maybe this is a sign to move on.
@flesh @mynameistillian The Dutch supermarket world is kind of weird 🙃 Jumbo (which is one of the biggest chains here) also got raided because the CEO was suspected of involvement in major organized crime.
Or how there's like, a single central purchasing organization (Superunie) that basically every non-dominant supermarket chain participates in, leading to ~every supermarket having virtually identical store-brand products but with different packaging.
@flesh @mynameistillian I'm reminded of the two Jumbo supermarkets in the shopping area in my town (Rosmalen), which are *almost* in each other's line of sight.
What's more bizarre is that no acquisitions were involved. The second one was newly built while the first one was *already* a Jumbo.
The story goes that it's a revenge action for a competitor (Albert Heijn) snubbing their promised spot in a new shopping center further north through a backhanded deal. The idea is that by occupying both supermarket-zoned buildings here, AH cannot establish a competing presence.

@joepie91 it's almost like not caring about consent is a consistent political ideology and we've been saying that for ages
Bij m'n laatste AH-bestelling zaten wat probeerzakjes van "Yogi Tea".

Afijn, die gaan we dus niet drinken en zeker niet kopen...

Oh look, the guy who did a malicious merge in nixpkgs is now complaining about Mastodon being "toxic" and leaving for Twitter instead.
I'm sure it had absolutely nothing to do with people calling out his malicious behaviour on here and not accepting his bullshit justifications.
