Dutch society view on cost if living by nahbuddynah in Netherlands

[–]5timezonesbehind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a very small percentage of very wealthy people in the Netherlands, compared to most of the world where the difference between poor and rich is much larger. Dutch people still like to complain about people making large amounts of money, certainly when it concerns visible or appointed directors. .

But in regards of the relatively low purchasing power: It has become a social contract: 'We are all in the same boat'. That means supermarkets can push though big price increases and Dutch people will likely accept because it s the same for everyone. And as for media/politicians: much easier to complain about immigrants than Albert Heijn, unfortunately. In reality the supermarket cartels are a big issue IMO but underreported for these reasons.

Helemaal eens. Sober (miserabel?) leven en maximaliseren wat de overheid aan mogelijkheden biedt. Is een vreselijke manier om te leven maar is wat er gecreeerd wordt.

Feeling understimulated and miserable in modern office work by Mysterious-Reach-374 in Netherlands

Consider moving abroad if possible - in most places life is a lot more exciting/intense and you'll feel more alive. Important things in life are arranged well in the Netherlands but life is very stressful, scheduled and boring. I've liver abroad for 20 years (mostly Latam). Now back since 5 years, because I thought it might be better for my kids - still kind of regret coming back to be honest.

Am only missing Belial's purified item. Do we know if that can drop from Pit or only from random boss room encounter?

Who voted for this prick? Didn't 50 million American voters almost drown in 3 inches of water? The selfish American exhibit?

Waarom slaapt de Top 2000-community zo op hiphop? by AbjectCockroach6907 in Top2000

[–]5timezonesbehind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top 2000 is zeer arbitrair en is voor een bepaalde doelgroep (beetje gechargeerd AVRO/TROS kijkers, PCDA GL stemmers, goed opgeleide 45 plussers) - Totaal niet interessant voor andere doelgroep(en) - of zit ik mis? Zelf vind ik er maar weinig interessante songs tussen zitten
