It recognises there are two interests and property is simply not considered so absolute I guess in continental Europe. There's a few rules actually. I...

Yes it is. In almost every jurisdiction in the world. Obviously you have very little experience in cross border contracting.

Based on your preconceptions of justice. In the real world it works perfectly well and answers to people's idea of justice perfectly fine. You're just...

The thief doesn't have that right but it doesn't necessarily mean ownership isn't vested by the new buyer as long as he can demonstrate good faith and...

Go back and read again what I wrote about good faith, because this is again a blatant misrepresentation of what I said. I would think as a trained law...

I make it a rule not to argue with idiots. Maybe study some actual cosmology.

It's not just the Netherlands, it's continental Europe. Definitely since the code civil and possibly since the Codex Justinianus depending on how old ...

That wouldn't qualify as good faith in the Netherlands because the ridiculously low price means you should've been aware or be able to demonstrate you...

Yes, only compensatory damages could be claimed.

He acquired ownership as long as he can demonstrate good faith in his acquisition. The original owner is left with a claim on the thief.

Then please explain why Dutch law protects the buyer of stolen goods if he acted in good faith (barring goods registered in public register). Good fai...

So true. Today I'm 43. My dad used to be a refinery manager, working late often. My mom complained about that regularly and I apparently replied when ...

Jesus fuck. 11 pages of scientific illiteracy despite having been pointed out that fact on almost every page. :roll:

I can't be bothered. @"Kenosha Kid" have fun.

There's a wiki page on observers with respect to quantum mechanics. Humans aren't required.

Maybe read a book if you want a welcome change, instead of following politics! :yum:

Nothing cynical about. I have experience negotiating with 27 EU members and that's already a problem. I know what's going on in this field because for...

A former colleague of mine is involved in this show, which in the end it is. There's no system of accounting for carbon emissions and it's not going t...

These aren't problems, they are nice to haves. Give me whatever big asshole is available to keep the welfare state viable in the Netherlands, instead ...

Without really understanding why, I really liked causal sets. I know too little to make an informed choice. I'm reading up on it. Interesting stuff: h...

There's an established meaning in political science what neo-liberal policies entail and that's basically the free capitalism thinking of the time of ...

What? You've never fallen asleep during the plot of a movie? Closed your eyes on your book despite the resolution being close? Farted in public? Never...

Just because something cannot be caused in a classical mechanical view of causality does not mean there's no reason why it exists. The problem is you ...

Why is this news?

In addition to the alternatives to classical causality, I think there's 4/5 options open to causality/time at planck scales: 1. Time is fundamental an...

In string theory, the idea is some dimensions are curled up and therefore "tiny". Meaning that only at very small scales we may hope to find proof of ...

Regular base rate fallacy. How stupid can they get?

Don't gaslight me. There wasn't anything snarky about my questions.You simply aren't able to answer them. You've convinced yourself about a political ...

Uhuh. So no plan, just naive wishful thinking. Got it. Good to know we can ignore whatever you have to say about global warming from here on out. Come...

And nobody ever disagrees? How do you resolve disagreements? Is "he" the polluting neighbour? What do you mean with "direct"? Ask nicely? He asks you ...

And how do your propose is it established which activities hurt the environment and which don't? And what about your upstream neighbour polluting the ...

I think I've asked this before once or twice but what is your solution to global warming? You've never replied so I'm left so far with three conclusio...

That's enough guys. @"James Riley" please keep the personal stuff out of it.

Marx isn't consistent on that at all actually. Like many things he did evolve his thinking and didn't think a revolution would be likely or necessary.

I recognise most of what you say. We do like visualising our characters and NPCs in our group. I think the visual aid does help with imagining how the...

Another fun resource is artbreeder.com to make portraits for your characters. See for instance my new character: /uploads/resized/files/dp/orfoksylltd...

I've now found a combination that looks pretty good. Which is dndbeyond.com with a Chrome extension "AboveVTT". That last one is in alpha but works we...

Yeah, I get what you're saying. I'm going to try dndbeyond with a discord bot that supports five rolling and stuff (avrae I think) and see how that wo...

It's not a confederacy either. It's entirely it's own beast, so let's just call it the union.

Yeah Frank. Why don't you go on and explain to me what the EU is. :rofl:

Well we accept Orban too but we're not silent about it.

You're a grown man. If you throw out comments like a five year old and subsequently whine about how I react to them I even have less of a reason to en...

what was the sentence right after that in Manuel's post?

Brexit. You missed Brexit.

And in my opinion, the UK shouldn't be in that list with messed up representation in both the House of Commons and unelected House of Lords and no bas...

Nothing useful to add as usual. Stick with your shtick to the Trump thread please.

A sweeping statement completely devoid of argumentation. Useless. I just explained how it is more representative than some EU states so virtually noth...

Or that's a sign that you're incapable of expressing yourself clearly. I'm not sure what you think I fail to understand in your post. How do you think...

Funny how all those Nordic European countries end up being so damn progressive, totally gripped by apathy... The EU is not the USA and it certainly is...
