That is not entirely true: https://www.nederlandwereldwijd.nl/nederlandse-nationaliteit/nederlander-worden-geboorte-erkenning

The point that takes this as topic is: "Op de dag van uw geboorte woonden u en uw vader of moeder in Nederland. En uw opa of oma woonde op de dag dat uw vader of moeder werd geboren ook in Nederland."

Which translates to

"On the day you were born, you and your father or mother lived in the Netherlands. And your grandfather or grandmother lived on the day your father or mother was born in the Netherlands."

So it's not as simple as you put it, there's an extra step there in the form of a grandparent.

I don't understand why this would be a massive problem in the USA. My country (the netherlands) doesn't have birthright citizenship and it hasn't caused any issues. Why would it be different in the USA?

Nope, and since our governments are virtually all coalitions it's much more difficult for something like that to happen here. I'm thankful for the style of government my country has, where everyone needs to make concessions. It has its drawbacks, but it does protect the country against this type of power grab.

You overestimate the adaptability of the average software stack. I worked at companies where even adding another button to the cart screen was a monumental undertaking

Absolutely delicious, I have no regrets. Little meatballs also go really well with the cheese, also frikadel!

I love dipping cherry tomatoes in there as well

Try to move countries, it's not going to get better in the near future. Job opportunities abound abroad. The USA is making enemies so fast the only way forward is down.

Or just buy pots, you'd be surprised how much can grow out of just a few

That does sound like a regulation problem in the capitalist hellacape that is the USA more than anything. I live in The Netherlands and evicting someone here is very difficult. A landlord needs to make his case in front of a judge and everything. There's one reason with which they can evict a tenant with a bit more ease and that's to use the property themselves, but they need to prove why they need it all of a sudden. And even then they need to pay the tenant roundabouts €7000 to help with the move.

Been there, done that. I also went to the Lenovo Legion Linux discord server. All great people, but their advanced solutions didn't work either. Even people with exactly the same model didn't have this issue. I have no idea what it could be, maybe something hardware related.
