  • This is going to change so much for so many people, avoid lots of headaches too.

    Over here, online and automated tax returns have been a thing for over a decade.

    You can opt to get it on paper or online, but they supply you with a pre-filled return most people can usually directly file without a single alteration. And you don’t even have to actually file the pre-filled return if it’s complete, just ignore it and it is automatically regarded as filed.

    And if you have anything to add, on the website it’s as simple as hitting some checkboxes for the appropriate tax codes (which all have extensive explanations and automated inclusion/exclusion rules so that if you check a specific box that also requires you to add other information, it won’t file without adding the other information) and adding the numbers (if there’s any specific numbers attached) and hit recalculate.

    Even my tech illiterate and phobic dad can work with it.


  • The issue isn’t the weed, it’s the quantity.

    They won’t do anything for 5 grams which is obvious for personal use.

    She was purportedly caught with 30+ grams in her luggage.

    And weed is not legal in the Netherlands. It’s under “gedogen” which means the sale and use at point of sale which are very specific types of shops and growing a quantity for personal use" and carrying on you a quantity for personal use (5 grams) are officially overlooked, while still illegal.

    Carrying around quantities that are more than would be for personal use while not being a permitted point of sale is still something you can get arrested for.






  • Don’t fret. Discovering good music from before your own generation tends to happen in people’s 30’s and later. They start feeling detached from the “new” music, so start discovering music people from all generations loved and they will discover plenty of older music they then come to love.

    Do have to say that the current gen especially is more detached from the music of their parents than Millenials and older were, because often they had internet and their own phones on which they listened to their own music, rather than growing up often hearing their parents music.

    My mom was in a rock cover band that covered the 60’s-80’s and my dad was in both a brass band and orchestra, through them I got in touch with classic rock and the roots of metal pretty early on and learned my fair share of classical music.

    My sisters kids have no clue about any music but what they share with their peers.
