  • I talked to someone working at a game store (gamemania in the Netherlands). The stores also buy and sell second hand games. I commented on the amount of fifa games on the shelves and they told me the storage in the back just has massive stacks of every fifa game of the last 10 years or so. Apparently they will literally buy every functioning game you want to sell them.

    The chain is also close to bankruptcy, probably not related. But it’s a shame because I really do like walking through them and looking through the games they have. They actually have xbox360, wii and ps3 games on shelves.

    It’s stress hormones you use to handle stress with becoming an emotional wreck. This includes physical stress like getting sick but also of course emotional stress.

    The effects of low cortisol are similar to a burnout and high cortisol makes you worry and restless on the low end and paranoid at the high end.

    Corticosteroids are synthetic versions of this and often use to treat infections and inflammation.


  • So where I live if you have a disease, physical or mental, you go to a doctor and they decide if you’re ok to drive or if you need to pass an extra test first where you are judged if you’re able to drive safely with whatever disabilities you have. This is besides the standard driving test and written test. Also everybody has to take lessons with a professional.

    It’s however not perfect because the government doesn’t have access to your medical records (which is good). But that means you have to be honest on a form about your disabilities. Plus the doctor visit is not covered by insurance and costs around 200 euros.

    Plus if you already have your licence there isn’t really a system in place to prevent you for driving if your health declines.
