In Dutch it’s called a trouwring, which as a verb literally translates to wedding ring, but as a noun also to loyalty ring.
Which I find rather sweet.
Scatterbrained and friendly optimist. Always happy to give my (unasked for) opinion :)
Pardon my rambling and broken English, I know I often sound like an alien trying to impersonate a human being.

I don’t know about over there, but here they’ve started selling them with paper straws. Making it even more impossible to puncture that stupid little hole while ruining the straw in the process.
And of course it’s the only thing my daughter wants to drink. I’ve had to resort to using a nail file to open those things.
Data corruption, it’s a bunch of garbled stuff that I can’t make heads or tails off.
Miraculously, everything keeps working. So I don’t dare to interfere because it might crash the system :)
Hey, it’s that thing I made/generated/whatever.
I thought you guys had a rule against AI stuff?
This looks strangely wholesome to me. So nice to see him have a friend
Yum, war fries :)
A lot of nice suggestions already, I’d like to add the Sorcery! games if you don’t mind reading and enjoy exploring.
I personally really loved the world it portrayed and the tried so many different ways to finish the story.
Also, it has great maps, and I love maps :)
I’m hearing this in my head right now, thanks for that.
No, seriously, thanks. It’s a big improvement :)
Happy Birthday!
Sorry to hear about your birthday money, I hope you’ll still get to have nice day in spite of it!
I crochet little animals for friends and family.
Unasked, most of the time :)
When I was a kid our family went on vacation to the US. Everyone kept asking if I was Dutch, which I thought was German (Deutsch).
So I kept correcting them, saying I was Netherlandish :)
Worrying what other people think of me.
I know I shouldn’t care, but it’s hard not to.
Oh, thanks for the cross-post @tal@lemmy.today! :)
And again, congrats on a great first year to everyone of us who contributed in making this instance what it is today.
And of course a special thanks to the admins!
“Political ideologies, an introduction” by Andrew Heywood, is available for free online.
It was required reading for my history study in uni about ten years ago. This seems to be a newer edition. It’s quite a read, but it covers a lot of isms in a generally unbiased manner.
No, I’m sorry. I wish I could help but I’m a bit out of my depth with this one. You might try a local career counselor, but that really depends on where you live and who’s available.
I wish you the best of luck though, I hope you’ll find what you’re looking for.
My first computer was our family’s 286 Wang pc. I used it mainly to play Sierra games. It’s how I learned a lot of my first English words.
I got my first cellphone, a Sony-Ericsson, around 2003 and only because my brother gave it to me. I was a staunch hater of cellphones but too Dutch to pass up on a free thing :)
Writing, it allowed for knowledge to travel across vast distances. And for that knowledge to remain available and accurate for far longer than any oral tradition would be capable of.
No, I got a permanent contract for a well paying job in the public sector. The job security is great and there’s a solid pension plan.
It’s what my partner likes to call an “iron rice bowl” :)
Maps and compass. I like the reliability of finding my way no matter where I am. Plus it’s fun!
Especially the trick of using two landmarks to pinpoint my location on a map makes me feel like an old-fashioned navigator :)
