In the Netherlands you can apply to a position that is in the field you are in here: https://www.academictransfer.com/en/
For these positions, you usually get a salary for four years and you are expected to obtain your PhD within that period. It is quite competitive and there are often a lot of applicants for these positions. But if you have good grades/experience, etc, it is worth a try.
That sounds really bad. Simple access to clean water should be available everywhere to everyone.
I think obese people should get the help they need, but we should accept them for who they are as a person. It is the same as with other physical or psychological issues or disabilities. It is very rude to keep reminding people that they cost a lot and are a burden to society because of their disease. People's value as a human being should not be determined by that and it should not affect whether they are accepted.
I agree with that. There is no reason to not just accept overweight people like anyone else.
I agree. That happens too. But I think the process of judging people by their face is largely an implicit and unconscious one. I do not think that many people will actually claim that they believe that you can decide whether someone is a bad person by e.g., the shape of their chin. (Although you always will have exceptions.) This makes it very hard to change.
Many people will claim that overweight is just the result of a lack of self control. This is something they believe explicitly and consciously. It is possible to change that believe and it should change as it is incorrect.
People are just very judgemental when it comes to weight. I think a lot of people like to believe that it all comes down to self-control, which is not the case. That can be very harmful. People are blamed for their own medical situations. Their self esteem is harmed and they are made to suffer through years and years of diets making the situation worse without getting the appropriate (medical) help they need.
I do not think that if you are irritated by tags it necessarily means that you are autistic. I get irritated by tags and I have been tested for autism and I am not autistic. I am not completely neurotypical in other ways though.
Grachtengordel. Scheveningen. Qapla'.
Als we Nieuw Amsterdam niet hadden gegeven aan de Engelsen hadden jullie allemaal Nederlands gesproken! ;-)
Hé, dat is niet aardig!
It applies to systems that are complex enough to formulate the Godel sentence, i.e. "I am unprovable". Gödel did this using basic arithmetic. So, any system containing basic arithmetic is either incomplete or inconsistent. I believe it is still an open question in what other systems you could express the Gödel sentence.
No, most men are not murderers and will not just kill you. People like your father and brother are exceptions in how they behave. There are kind people out there who would never do a thing like that.
In some cases, people who are like your father or brother might feel that you are traumatised and used to that behaviour. So, if you encounter anyone acting like them, leave immediately. Kind people might feel not as familiar, but there are many of them and they might even help or protect you.
I feel for you. You deserve kindness and care. It is a good thing that you are a kind person and that you remained like that even with all you have been through. I hope you find an environment with people who are also like that where you can heal.
The way your family is, is not normal. And the way your life is right now, is not what life should be. And this is not your fault, but it is because of the environment you are in. And this can change.
Maybe you can get help from a domestic violence protection organisation to make sure you have a way to get away safely.
