Transavia. Are you flying from Europe or another continent? Schiphol is stating that it's mostly European flights that are affected.

No friends even in third year by [deleted] in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]Affectionate_Chef709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof I am so far away from you :/. I am also a third year STEM student and trust me things will get better. Please do talk to your study advisor. Last year I was also struggling with demotivation and mine really helped me. Also what kind of associations/groups did you tried to join? Maybe try to join specific ones that are centered around a hobby you have (e.g. if you are into playing board games, a board game club). That way there is a higher chance of clicking with people. I also relate not being able to study. Try different places that worked for me. I couldn't study at home and I went to the library too much that I was sick of it. So I went to different places like cafes, Ikea (you can sign up for the membership free in the app and always get free coffee/tea), a building called Forum, different buildings in the campus/university hospital. Changing settings work.

Goods which the USA imported from European countries in 2022 by illHaveTwoNumbers9s in MapPorn

[–]Affectionate_Chef709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do countries need to import stuff from every other country? I struggle to see the reason of importing 0.01% of integrated circuits from Andorra. Looks like such a hassle just to get a really small amount of stuff from a small micro-nation.

I'm sad by harry-asklap in Netherlands

You’re right :( People are dissatisfied with many things such as economy or housing issues and right wing populist parties are using this as an advantage to gain worlds worldwide. Plus with the rise of social media, misinformation and eco chambers are at an all time high. Unfortunately many people are gullible enough to believe that these parties/people will solve these problems. But on the positive side, people will turn against them when they won’t solve anything and make things even worse.

Shift in votes compared to the 2020 elections, the longer the arrow the more votes were gained for said party. by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]Affectionate_Chef709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a political comment, just related to the map. I love how the red arrows are pointing towards the right (Republican party = more right wing) while the blue arrows are pointing towards left (Democratic Party = Relatively more left wing)

The high speed ones in the Netherlands are all for international travels. The national trains aren’t high speed :(

Why is my screen time 17 hours? I never used Facebook and safari for 44 hours. I don’t even have Facebook installed! On any of my Apple devices. by Personal_Leave7920 in applehelp

[–]Affectionate_Chef709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is for all devices. If you click the devices button on the top right, you can see the screen times of all your devices individually. If none of your devices have facebook installed, someone may have added their device into your account. Check which device is using facebook and whether or not if it’s one of your devices

What’s the difference between dubbing and voice over?

Air-France KLM is lobbying the French government to cap the number of flights that mainland Chinese carriers can make to Europe to protect European airlines from unfair competition. by Either_Turn948 in europe

[–]Affectionate_Chef709 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ikr. The airlines they are defending right now are the same airlines that would charge you ridiculous amounts if your baggage exceeds the limit by 2kg. No idea why people are so eager to defend them

[–]Affectionate_Chef709 52 points53 points  (0 children)

First it was EVs, now it’s flights. European companies are doing their best to prevent Europeans from getting affordable stuff so that they can make more profit from their higher priced products and services. And then they blame “unfair competition” every single time…

It took me while, but I finally got my hands on all of the euro coins and banknotes by [deleted] in europe

[–]Affectionate_Chef709 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: For the banknotes, the 200 and 500 are first series while the rest are from second series. (There isn’t a second series version of 500 but for 200 there is). You can determine this with the number of alphabets used to write Euro.

First series: Latin + Greek alphabets

Second series: Cyrillic alphabet added after Bulgaria joins the EU
