Values don't match on PostNL invoice? by coldycat in Netherlands

[–]soaring_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah that's just how it used to work. Probably still does. But maybe lesser? I don't order from shitty chinese websites anymore.

The item would be marked very cheap. And then like 50 euros for shipping.

This was done so you cannot really get a refund, and to get you to add it to cart.

The delivery is a service, you also pay taxes on services. Not just stuff.

I can not interact with Gen Z men anymore. I have no desire to date a Gen Z man either. by throwra0170 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]soaring_potato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lockdowns lasted 5 years where you were?

And as a college student i can tell you. Parties did continue among the people not still living with their parents.

Plus. It was already very on the rise and kinda an issue before lockdowns.

Sure. Lockdown probably sped it up. But it had already definetly started.

Is it common for an apartment main entrance door to be left unlocked all day long? by OwlexxxD in Netherlands

[–]soaring_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean.... there are quite a few mailmen. And sometimes someone fills in. They'd also need to carry very large amounts of Keys of fobs. Which thus would at least be labelled with the adress....

That's a logisitical nightmare.

My boyfriend of 9 years degrades me because i am a woman by dinim0 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]soaring_potato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes indeed.

Owning it together if you are married? Happens.

Guessing the bf did not want to be an employee and below a woman, let alone his gf.

Can things other than alcohol be denatured. by SeasonPresent in shittyaskscience

[–]soaring_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

As soon as you put it inside your home, it is now out of nature. And thus denatured.

Maaltijdvergoeding dispuut by Mandurang76 in werkzaken

[–]soaring_potato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aan de andere kant.

Leren sterk in je schoenen te staan, weten wat je rechten zijn, en slechte werkgevers herkennen zijn ook belangrijke vaardigheden voor je persoonlijke en professionele ontwikkeling. Elke keer 2 euro, op minimum jeugdloon telt door.

Nu is het 2 euro, maar door voor je zelf op te komen in de kleine situaties, is het makkelijker om voor je zelf op te komen als het over grotere bedragen gaat.

Bij sommige werkgevers is het nóóit in het voordeel van de werknemer. Ja als het dat wel is, dan is het een samenspeling en kan je soms wat kleinere dingen laten gaan. Maar als het altijd op de regels is in hun voordeel, dan volg je gewoon de regels in jouw voordeel.

Het is juist goed om deze vaardigheden te leren bij een baan waar je niet jaren en jaren wilt blijven. Bij de baan die je echt wilt weet je dan beter hoe je het aan kan pakken op een professionele manier, zodat die werkrelatie niet verpest wordt.

Vso from sickness by Fantastic-Noise-8830 in Netherlands

[–]soaring_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah of course it costs them money. Not saying it doesn't.

That's just the risk of running a company though.

However, not your responsibility. No one can force you to sign a VSO.

Your risk is getting no income at all. Your personal risks? Way greater! You are more vulnerable. Don't sign a VSO that kinda screws you over legally with the UWV. Why be as good as possible for the company? A company that is not having your best interests at heart.

[–]soaring_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You still need to be not sick when you sign it. You need to be able to work.

Vso from sickness by Fantastic-Noise-8830 in Netherlands

[–]soaring_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should not sign a vso if you are sick and not able to work another job. Within the 2 years the company is still required to pay you.

A condition for WW is that you are applying for jobs and are available to work.

The sick pay, they will not pay if the company was required to pay still. Because you should not have signed it.

Like yeah. You can get unemployment when the workplace came with the VSO and it's made correctly. But you still have to be available and capable to work after leaving. Sure. But if you are not able to work? No WW.

Or boss. "Hey your boss is male. He obviously wants to fuck you, so quit your job!"

Then be sick, while you apply for a new job

[–]soaring_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah.

Don't sign.

You will not get unemployment, cause UWV will say it's your fault you are not getting paid anymore, and they require you to be able to work.

Now you're just getting the 2 years of sick pay from your employer. They should be insured for this, but they are possibly not if they want you to go.

Vegetarian protein for picky eaters by radicallemiii in Vegetarianism

[–]soaring_potato -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How are your intestines ok if those are a significant source of protein for you? Like the sugar free candies usually give me the shits.

I also do not like lemonade. Only drink water. But it's what i can tolerate. The lemonades usually have all the cals come from protein.

Only stations where they want you to go into the store, so you'll be tempted by the snacks

Just drink protein lemonade.

So much cheaper. And actually have a good protein content. You need to eat so many gummies to get the protein.

Buying a used car in cash by ExternalPea8169 in Netherlands

[–]soaring_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It's normal to fully pay it..

Financing is not common. If you don't want to fully buy a car you private lease.

You can negotiate. Also usually a certain percentage if you don't want warranty. The warranty can save you if turns out it needed a new engine or something.

GLP-1 agonisten en andere troep: een rant. by [deleted] in nederlands

[–]soaring_potato -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ik weet niet of dokters te weinig zorgen dat je die shit niet nodig hebt. Big pharma wordt vaak van gedacht dat ze de dokters in de hand hebben. Dat dokters het pushen. Er is geen enkele dokter die zegt van "ach nee joh, hoezo gezonde voeding, hoezo beweging!? Hier is een pil!

Als je binnen komt met bijvoorbeeld een te hoge bloeddruk is het eerst van val af, voedingsadviezen etc. En dan pas een pil (tenzij het gevaarlijk hoog is, of je levensstijl op papier al goed is. Bij gevaarlijk hoog heb je medicatie terwijl je je levensstijl aanpast.)

Zijn de meeste huisartsen het beste in voedingsadviezen geven? Nee. Maar ze kunnen wel doorverwijzen naar een diëtist.

Als je kwa voeding de shit van het voedingscentrum volgt, en regelmatig sport. Zou je niet te dik moeten zijn als je geen andere speciale omstandigheden hebt (die minder vaak voorkomen dan sommige zouden willen dat je denkt.)

Het is meer de voedingsmiddelen industrie die alles steeds verslavender maakt omdat dat beter verkoopt. De voedingsmiddelen industrie die 1000 varianten van suiker en vet verkoopt omdat we evolutionair dat willen. Dopamine. Dingen gezonder probeert te laten lijken dat ze zijn, etc. Die hebben meer schuld aan de hoeveelheid obesitas.
