  • That’s not really what I mean.

    Look I turned 40 a few months ago an a few weeks ago I got a newspaper subscription, somehow I turned into my father…

    Anyway, a few days ago I was reading this article and it was about (Dutch) GenZ (I want to say kids but adults is probably also true).

    The article was about how the GenZ girls are mostly left and pretty far left. Old people will probably describe them as woke.

    But what was pretty interesting (and maybe scary) to me is that a lot of the GenZ boys are pretty conservative. Lots of them follow “alpha male” influencers and lots of them even really like Andrew Tate. They sort of believe in this alpha get money and girls mindset. They have some graphs about other countries, where in south Korea it had the biggest gap between boys on the right and girls on the left.

    I just looked it up (my newspaper also can be viewed digitally)

    It’s in Dutch but its probably understandable (mannen are males, vrouwen are females).

    This is the source but it’s dutch and behind a paywall

    This is the head of the image translated

    Political gap between young men and women has grown In many countries, young men (18-29) have become more conservative in recent years, while young women have become more progressive. Score: the percentage of progressive minus conservative young adults, based on various long-term studies.




  • I’m not the one you asked, but what I like isn’t really about PHP itself, but the fact that I can get dirt cheap hosting with PHP and MySQL. Every time I want to create a small “app” that makes some manual task easier it’s very useful to create something I can access from the internet.

    Python is really useful for stuff like that too, but (in my experience) not as easy and cheap to use as an web app.

    For example I go to dinner with some friends every month and we always forget who’s turn it is to choose and book a restaurant. So I just made this PHP page that shows the current and next 2 months with a name. So we always use that to see who’s turn it is.
