"De AOW moet op de schop, maar welke partij durft het aan?"

nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/07/18/de-ao…


De AOW moet op de schop, maar welke partij durft het aan?

Algemene Ouderdomswet: Wat ooit begon als een verzekering voor ouderen, is nu een financieel blok aan het been. Inmiddels wordt de helft van de AOW uit de algemene middelen betaald.

I often feel like a prison in my body. My head is a prison. It prevents me from living a full life. Sometimes I want to go out of the house and scream at the top of my lungs, and get all the despair that is in me out of me. But I can't even do that when I'm out of town, where I'm alone. I'm always afraid someone might hear me, and I'd just be a fool.

My head keeps me from doing other things too. I can't relax properly when I'm somewhere social. I've been to a few concerts or festivals, but I couldn't have fun and, for example, jump to the music because I was embarrassed and found it awkward - yet I was very keen to have fun.

I'm not the social type and I don't need such things to live, but sometimes it's nice to completely switch off and have fun, enjoy the present moment. My head, however, seems to have sentenced me to life in prison and locked me in solitary confinement.

The problem is that so much of this is learnt behaviour that has become ingrained. Don't stand out, don't be noticed, it never ends well. And this becomes a hard habit to break. Especially when for so long you didn't know the one thing that could have made a difference, that you were autistic.

@pathfinder I don't know what causes all this. I also have low self-esteem, which I'm sure has a big impact on it as well.

Also, in a sense, something we can learn. It's hard to develop a strong sense of self, when you don't see that self reflected anywhere, or the way we work and deal with things, being valued.

I think this is why people use alcohol/weed…. I don’t like alcohol really, I will have one & it’s enough to loosen death grip my mind has on me. Weed makes me go mute. when I was young… even drunk never did anything I would not do sober. Just was easier to drop “caring if someone was watching”. Find in my late 50’s I am getting that post menopausal “I don’t care “ and beginning to do what I feel. maybe it takes practice.. little steps lead to the bigger things?

NEW: Hundreds of NASA employees have filed a letter of formal dissent.

"We are compelled to speak up when our leadership prioritizes political momentum over human safety, scientific advancement, and efficient use of public resources. The consequences for the agency and the country alike are dire."

The Voyager Declaration Dear Interim Administrator Duffy, In light of your recent appointment as Interim NASA Administrator, we bring to your attention recent policies that have or threaten to waste public resources, compromise human safety, weaken national security, and undermine the core NASA mission. We, the signatories of this letter, dissent from these policies, and raise these concerns because we believe strongly in the importance of NASA's mission, which we are dedicated to uphold. Major programmatic shifts at NASA must be implemented strategically so that risks are managed carefully. Instead, the last six months have seen rapid and wasteful changes which have undermined our mission and caused catastrophic impacts on NASA's workforce. We are compelled to speak up when our leadership prioritizes political momentum over human safety, scientific advancement, and efficient use of public resources. These cuts are arbitrary and have been enacted in defiance of congressional appropriations law The consequences for the agency and the country alike are dire.
Who We Are The signatories of this letter are current and former NASA employees from every NASA center and mission directorate. In addition to named signatories, we include anonymous signatories who share our concerns but choose not to be identified due to the culture of fear of retaliation cultivated by this administration. As a group of individuals from a diversity of nationalities, races, abilities, sexualities, and gender identities, we stand unified in support of NASA's core values: safety, integrity, teamwork, excellence, and inclusion.
We stand in solidarity with our colleagues at the NIH and EPA who have released similar statements concerning the administration's actions at their respective agencies. We dedicate this letter to Gus Grissom, Ed White, Roger Chaffee, Dick Scobee, Michael J. Smith, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Gregory Jarvis, Christa McAuliffe, Rick Husband, Willie McCool, Michael Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, David Brown, Laurel Clark, and Ilan Ramon. Their legacies underpin every conversation about our shared commitment to safety and dissenting opinions at NASA.

“We’re scared of retaliation. We huddle in the bathroom and look under the stalls to make sure that no one else is there before we talk.

I’m already at risk of losing my job, and I’d rather speak out and try to save something at NASA, rather than just hide under my desk until I get laid off.”

One of the NASA employees who signed the letter of dissent.

Garuda is too small, it falls below the top 10 so the names does not show up. Arch has an command-line installer that works very well.

I did get it to install from experience installing slackware from a long time ago, but installing xwindows, that was insane... I would have to rewrite every config file by hand, and I don't know x windows what so ever... When I installed arch, it has no setup at all... I understand some people call this customizable, but not having anything what so ever in /etc is just messed up... It could have sane defaults...

Arch Linux does not include a built-in installation script primarily because maintaining one proved to be overly complex and unsustainable. The project previously experimented with a "proper" installer script, but it was ultimately dropped after maintainers burned out trying to keep it functional across diverse hardware and configuration scenarios.
The complexity of ensuring the script worked reliably in every possible setup, combined with the lack of volunteers to maintain it, led to its removal. <---- Taken from Meta's AI

Anxiety is a hell of a monster. It's hard to get out of your own head when it spirals. Fear pervades every choice, making each look bad, and resulting in often no clear course forward. So... freeze is the best option. Then, in making no choice, the cause of the anxiety strikes as well.

1. Feeling unsafe : “If someone gets stuck in fear/safety, they might constantly scan their environment for danger, catastrophize situations, or live in a near-constant state of hypervigilance."
2. Feeling out of control : “If it’s lack of control, they might obsess over plans, schedules, or the future, because not knowing what’s next feels intolerable."
3. Blaming ourselves : “Self-esteem/self-blame often shows up as intense self-criticism: ‘I should have done more,’ or ‘It’s my fault things turned out this way."
4. Distrusting others : "Distrust of others might look like chronic relationship anxiety, difficulty letting people in or assuming the worst in social settings."
