There is so much insanity in your post that your connection with reality seems pretty tenuous. Please get help before you hurt yourself.

Except when they do, and examples abound of that.

If you believe that crap you really are part of the problem.

Get your head out of your ass, you entitled twat.

Do you know there are more than two countries in the world where you can own a gun?

My uncle had a FAL at home. In NL. Because if your are part of a well-organized militia in good standing that's possible.

But we don't allow any random idiot who just wants one, to have one.

Which is a discussion between Sega and Nintendo, not the buyer, as the OP just described.

under Dutch law, if you unknowingly buy stolen property, it's yours, and the original owner has to take it up with the thieves.

If the police can prove you knew it was stolen, or if it is clear to anyone that it could have been stolen, you're in hot water. But in a case like this it would very much depend on the circumstances.

I wonder how UK laws deal with this.

which doesn't make a damn bit of difference for the temperature, and Norway has the most EVs per capita as well. With part of Norway being in the Arctic it's safe to say they understand something about low temps and EVs.

Both sides, huh? But only one turns off measuring stations, fires people who tell you the sky is not the colour you want, and in general only accepts science when it says what it wants to hear. The other side might bend unfavorable reports or ignore certain outcomes, but that's very different from what's happening now.

Then again, we're getting an influx of good scientists in NL now. Climate scientists are basically well trained physicists, so thanks for sending them to us. We need quite a few more for the photonic chips industry, the ASML chip fabs, the two other semiconductor companies, the energy transition etc. etc. and getting more into NL from the US is a rather nice boost.

Otoh, it explains he's not just stupid, but he knows exactly what he's doing when he's lying to the public for his personal gain.

Just dropping all of his money in the S&P500 would have made him an actual billionaire w/o ever having to work. He destroyed so much value by meddling that it's comical people think he's successful.

Holland is happy to have you. Stay away from Amsterdam if you've already seen it (just tour the canals, visit the 3 biggest musea and you're basically done).

I recommend Utrecht, Rotterdam and The Hague if you haven't been there yet. Utrecht is a much nicer place than Amsterdam, Rotterdam if you like small Manhattan, and The Hague for the musea, peace Palace (ICJ) and the sea.

Still requires 4 witnesses or a confession, which is the sticking point, isn't it?

Note that in Iran you can just get raped in prison by another prisoner with four wardens watching, and that counts. Or you can be tortured, or sign "release papers" that are a confession.

The problem with the USA is that it seems to be taking the same approach under MAGA, where the idea that you're an offender is enough to get you convicted or extradited to a camp in El Salvador. TBC and malaria included free of charge, so even if you get released afterwards you may still have lasting damage.

Combined with the US movement to abandon international law and go for might makes right, it doesn't fill me with confidence that if I make an error on my application or my /. posts are examined, someone with an axe to grind won't just decide to send me and my family to prison. It's at no cost to them.

Unlikely. US stocks are overpriced off you don't believe that AI will turn sentient and solve all of our problems. Well, except Berkshire Hathaway and some other companies. But tech is just far too expensive.

You can buy EU-based worldwide bank shares for a p/e around 9 with dividend at 7%. Feel free to continue to buy overpriced American shares, but don't expect me to do the same.

AFAIK most Americans are still superficially nice. But I don't need the shit at the border (working for a non-US government), and my wife is Chinese so that goes double. She'd love to visit the USA but all it takes is one looney with a gun. And the USA has far too many of those walking around.

Yep. With the Amish you know full well what you're getting into, and you can opt out when you reach adulthood, no questions asked. With these clowns it's anyone's guess, but it's unlikely to end well.
