I get what you're saying, but also nature has been around for a lot longer than humans, and nature is "infinite monkeys on typewriters" in real life.

Trust me, nothing ruins the cheese more than cumin.

This I didn't know. All I knew were this one or this one (also in other denominations), which could be found in general circulation.

There are quite some checks and balances in place over here (Netherlands). I have known some terminally ill people who went this route, and one it wasn't an easy option, two people postponed or didn't go through with it, three some people couldn't take this option anymore because you have to arrange it in advance and they ran out of time.

In the Netherlands we have the current monarch, so it changes every 30 years or so. And sometimes we have a special occasion image, but I can't remember if we've had one of these since we got the Euro as our currency.

I know. Specifically, I mean the kind of people where you can tell from the moment you start talking, they're listening not to your story, but for a hook to turn the story about them. I have a coworker like that, if I tell a story about something that happened to me this week, he'll tell a story about what happened to him or his family 20 years ago, which by the way is way worse/better. He is also always the hero in these stories. I find most of these people are deeply insecure and try to cover this with a big mouth. So, bully behaviour basically.

6 could fuck off too. I loathe these one-uppers.

To clarify, the pompous part relates to "devote my energies to building up an audience". But maybe it's because I devote my energies to shitposting instead. On the other points I can get where you're coming from.

This. Also, scratch that 2nd, these day the 4th generation is coming of age, and it's getting boring to refer to them as anything other than Dutch. Sure, they may call themselves Moroccan or Turkish, but it's the same as all the Irish people of Boston.
