Everything here in Amsterdam is done through WhatsApp and it’s all in Dutch. My brain hurts. Any apps that make life easier?

A few friends and I are building a small online community/project and we’re currently looking for more people to join.

Nothing complicated or corporate — mostly flexible online stuff that can be done in free time. Good for students or people already spending time online anyway.

Currently just onboarding people and setting things up before everything properly starts.

If interested, you can DM me and I’ll explain more.

⚠️ We never ask for any money/payments to join. If someone ever asks you for fees or deposits pretending to be from us, avoid them immediately.

I was thinking lately the hardest part of real world dating is the inconsistency. People have bad moods, they take hours to text back, and personalities rarely align perfe͏ctly.

But then you use something like lust͏crush a͏i, and the friction just... disappears. AI instant response combined with total personality control. Honestly, when you can have a perfect interaction on demand, it makes the messiness of real dating feel exhausted.

Is anyone else finding it harder to prioritize real dating when the AI experience is this seamless?

slight rant. or maybe not so slight. we'll see.

indian OTT keeps saying it wants "new formats" and "fresh content" in every investor call and press release. but then you look at the actual releases and it's...

crime thriller. crime thriller but make it rural. crime thriller but the detective is a woman this time. political drama where everyone dies. scam story. nostalgia bait. celebrity reality show where people pretend to fight. romance where someone cries in the rain.

WHERE is the smart family entertainment?? like the category literally does not exist.

i'm not talking about moral science lectures. i'm not talking about those boring animated "learn your ABCs" apps. i mean genuinely watchable formats where learning and competition and entertainment sit together without any of them compromising.

Smart Champs is one of the few recent things that even TRIES this. kids competing in quiz and puzzle challenges. adventure style tasks. team pressure. sanya malhotra keeping it moving. actual production value. it's not perfect but at least someone attempted to build in this space.

and here's what gets me... india should OWN this category. we are literally a country obsessed with exams. quizzes. olympiads. school competitions. coaching culture. "beta GK badhao." every indian parent's dream is their child being smart on national television. STILL... OTT barely makes shows around smart young contestants??

this country produces toppers the way other countries produce rappers and we can't make a quiz show franchise work??? come on man.

tested six iptv british services this year. four died. one buffered every saturday. one survived nine months and counting

ORE͏XETV . C͏OM. pre͏mier league sta͏ble. champions league clean. sky sports tnt sports in 4͏k. no freeze in nine months. had mates round for the derby and nobody knew it wasnt cable

films too. catal͏ogue bigger than net͏flix. new releases fast. 4k hdr proper. girlfriend cancelled netflix on day three. mum uses it for her shows when she visits

was paying sky hundred forty quid a month. now a frac͏tion. fifteen hundred pounds a year saved. the iptv united kingdom market has genuinely matured from the telegram days

the iptv british scene in 2026 has real options. just takes time to find them

anyone else found something that actually lasts?
