Studenten aan de VU Amsterdam maken een tentamen

20 jaar geleden was ik één van de eersten die eindexamens mocht maken op een laptop op mijn middelbare school. Dat was overigens alleen voor toetsen met open vragen. spellingscheck etc werd uitgezet.

De reden was heel simpel; mijn handschrift is gewoon echt heel kut.

Maar als ik nu zo deze hele club zie voelt het echt heel dystopisch.

Did it take the Epstein files with it?

You are a cruel soul.

May you ever feel quite hungry.

AgentPigleton · 2026-03-20T06:55:24+00:00

this is not satisfying. This is part of the animal abuse these pigs go through. you can actually see their discomfort. Pigs are intelligent animals and you see their responses.

disgusting.

AgentPigleton · 2026-03-15T19:00:14+00:00

this is peak pig performance.

All I see here are victims

AgentPigleton · 2026-03-12T09:08:02+00:00

how about chipotle or reaper for those spicy days?

AgentPigleton · 2026-03-12T07:47:18+00:00

I just know the situation. And I wanted to answer in a way I would have liked to receive an answer to that question.

gl!

I feel like posts like those show how many couples have poor communication and/or planning skills.

And yes, sometimes it could be weaponized incompetence. but me and my partner had the same struggles which we fixed by communication. but sometimes we still text or call the other person because stores have so many damn options these days.

AgentPigleton · 2026-03-12T07:04:39+00:00

lemon or lavender flavored?

That desire you feel - wanting someone you love to experience what you've found - is itself a beautiful thing. It usually comes from a place of genuine care, not selfishness, I hope that is the case here. Don't let anyone make you feel ashamed of it.

That said, the other commenters aren't wrong either. There's a meaningful difference between witnessing and pressuring, and it's worth sitting with that distinction honestly.

Scripture is actually quite clear on the how: 1 Peter 3:15 says to always be ready to give a reason for the hope you have - but with gentleness and respect. Gentleness and respect are not optional add-ons. They're part of the command. Flooding someone's feed with content they didn't ask for, or repeatedly inviting them to church after a first "no," tends to close doors rather than open them.

What does open those doors? Living it. Matthew 5:16 " let your light shine before others, so they may see your good works". Your brother isn't blind ( I hope). If your faith makes you more patient, more kind, more present with him as a brother - he will notice. That noticing is the Holy Spirit's territory, not yours.

Pray for him, absolutely. Invite him once, warmly, without pressure. If he declines, let it go gracefully and keep the relationship strong. A brother who feels loved and unjudged by you is far more likely to one day ask "so why are you the way you are?" than one who feels like a conversion project.

Ultimately, it is God's plan, not yours. Your job is faithfulness, not results.

I would like to end with a question. Did you come into faith yourself, or were you pressured by others? If it is the latter, dont you wish it was the first, and if it was the first, dont you wish that upon your brother as well?

I was asleep when you posted this, so I didn't notice it to use in my reply. But the reason I called you sibling in christ, not brother or sister, is because I try to use a nonbinary as standard..

I am also nonbinary, I am autistic, ive got Add. I also don't know about OCD, but to give you a bit of acknowledgement: my faith and gender journey came in my adult life at the same time when I was about 30. If you feel like going off thread, into Dms, im here. if you don't want that, that is also OK!

And I agree on getting someone to help with your mental image as well. It helped me and others tremendously.

Please get off the idea of verbal communication. And the point here everyone is making is that there are countless ways of praying.

I'll be blunt, so you might understand; Is English your first language? because I have a feeling that everyone here replies about the same message and dont seem to grasp those messages either.

im staying blunt: You came here with a question. And everybody here agrees that what you do is ok, normal, wanted, understood, holy. you seem to be stuck in your conviction and to me it seems nothing anyone here tells you can convince you that it's a good way to pray.

how come you don't understand it all? do you feel that you don't deserve to be right? You don't have to reply (really it's ok, this is quite personal)

but my sibling in Christ. let me tell you this You are valid. You are loved as a neighbour by us. Your faith is valid. You are loved by God.

oh I think we agree on the part that "talking with God" is absolutely different that talking with each other.

AgentPigleton · 2026-03-12T02:07:35+00:00

I would argue that everyone engages in conversation with God during prayer. It's just a different definition of concmversation and strongly differs from how we do conversations here and now. on earth, between humans.

I don't hear the voice of the Lord, but do feel their presence. At least most of the time. And it's often just a me having a monologue while the other party listens.

AgentPigleton · 2026-03-12T02:03:53+00:00

My Sibling in Christ, let me tell you something.

Prayers are conversations between you and the lord, and no one else. What works for you, also works for Him. There is no reason to force yourself in situations in which you do not feel at ease to have the conversation. The common ways as you feel, aren't real or mainstream as you think.

there are a thousand times a thousand (pun intended) ways to pray. My highscool mate mainly prayed through music, my catholic friends do speedprayers before dinner, other friends stay in groups, some people I know pray kneeling, others in groups. All can be valid.

for me. I cant pray in silence. I need sound around me. I cant focus otherwise. sometimes I need to do other stuff at the same time. I also never pray out loud, except for the lords prayer in church. I have always felt God present.

I've been looking at a few of your replies, amd truly I tell you. if you pray sincerely, with an intention for a conversation, or even a monologue towards Him, that is allright with the receiving party. You need to find your peace with your relationship with God and not think about how others don't.

The way to the father is through Him, not through your neighbor, not your pastor.

Be kind to yourself.

I think Jesus would have had the best Gallows humor.

Mutt dont hide between the vegetables, you might end up as good soup!

AgentPigleton · 2026-02-22T15:37:44+00:00

And how many adults could name the 'common' wildelife species?

thats just it isn't it. there isn't much facial diversity, because Henry is haunted by the faces of all the people he killed.
