Dutch, a funky dutch dialect, English and I understand German but I don’t speak it. Should probably learn it.

Honestly I quite like it here. It’s obviously not perfect but when I compare it to other countries we do rather well.
Honestly my biggest complaint is that it’s so full. I recently visited Norway and the vast forests and just untamed nature is gorgeous and the air quality is great. But then again nothing is really far away in the Netherlands so ups and downs.
Yeah my family (mostly my grandma) used that one too but in Dutch. Wat je kop vergeet moeten de benen ontgelden.
Yeah it’s odd. Nobody says S’il vous plaît but we do say svp out loud.
I speak Dutch, reading Danish is a trip. Dat wil zeggen -> det vil sige. And yes we use dwz.
We use plenty of abbreviations like that too. Like aub for alstublieft. Meaning please, or more literally if you would be so inclined.
His brother (Jezza) is a great artist and while I don’t know much about him I don’t think he’s anything like shad. I regularly see him cooperate on a warhammer channel called tabletop time and they have videos about women in the warhammer scene (made by one of their female members). So I highly doubt those two have much in common.
It’s the rollercoaster tycoon umbrella strat all over again
Honestly also some very non niche things that are big on reddit aren’t much of a thing here. Like the Netherlands subreddit is the second largest non English speaking sub. It’s barely a thing on Lemmy.
Honestly I’m engaging more on lemmy in comments but if you manage to create a nice list of fun subs to follow on reddit a lot of complaints about bots and stuff are less problematic. Then again I also follow some Dutch subs and they seem to have less bots with the language barrier and all.
Lemmy does seem to be more negative though. A lot of doom and gloom here. I’m not really into Linux but I’ll admit that windows and Microsoft ain’t great. However the amount of complaining about how shit Microsoft is on stead of being enthusiastic about Linux baffles me. And you see these things in other communities too. The reddit helldivers community seems to be a bunch of memes and the lemmy oke a bunch of complaints.
Then again my comments seem to actually reach people on Lemmy so I am more active here.
I had the same problem with the 2018 tomb raider. Lara Crofts dad spends years surviving in a cave on an island and has perfect fucking teeth.
The Dutch police have their ups and downs but nothing heinous like in the post has happened so far. The Dutch law also states that the police is not allowed to use more violence than absolutely necessary. Which is obviously difficult but seems reasonably well followed.
That doesn’t mean protests are not broken up, but there has to be a reason why. Recent pro Palestine protests at Universities are broken up because, well, they were making it (partially) impossible to to attend said universities. Same with extinction rebellion protesting on a busy highway.
The Dutch police definitely has their problems with racial profiling and stuff though.
I could definitely be wrong, please correct me if I am.
My dad found a OG gameboy in a train when I was a kid so when I actually played tetris lol. Close my eyes and see the bricks fall. (which is what the tetris effect is.)
Then I had it with Mario Kart, close my eyes and see the track move.
And the weirdest thing is when I finally got properly used to vr and played 3 hours of half-life: Alyx straight. I had to physically touch a wall to convince a part of my mind that this was real life, and not vr.
The right building is a clothing store. There are indeed often back entrances for smaller vans for supplies
I live in the very non flat south East of the Netherlands. We still do everything on bike. Groceries, mail, like 4 children while carrying groceries and being on the phone.
So using the Dunning-Krueger effect to prove how smart you are is an example of the Dunning-Krueger effect?
Nowadays it’s probably also because of the dominance of American culture, especially online.
A local church is about that old (or it’s at least that old, the oldest record of it is from 1262). But there might just be a barn or a windmill that’s much older and nobody knows because at that point it’s actually medieval and record keeping wasn’t great back then.
I’m Dutch and a zoo near me has racoons too. But then again they’re an invasive species here so it’s not as weird.
Tetris, on the gameboy.
