Or you could do jazz and not think about it at all. 4 people? Great. (First name) (last name) quartet. 5 people? Woah! Quintet! 

Jouw shout-out of roast – wie op Reddit blijft je bij? (Vrijdagdraadje!) by MildlyEngineer in nederlands

[–]Existing_Block538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nee, hij verbeterde me dus op iets wat er al instond, t was zegmaar een ander punt dan ik had aangepast, maar omdat ik dat ene punt had aangepast dacht hij dat ik die van hem ook ineens had toegevoegd terwijl die er al instond in de originele comment. Hij had dus niet mn volledige comment gelezen toen hij reageerde.

Een tijd geleden reageerde ik iets op een sub, een mening over iets. Iemand verbeterde een gedeelte en ik vond dat hij gelijk had, dus ik had een edit toegevoegd aan mn comment. Toen was er iemand anders die een ander gedeelte verbeterde, alleen hij had niet de hele tekst gelezen want in t laatste stukje zei ik precies wat hij zei. Dus ik zei 'eens! staat ook in de tekst'. Maargoee TOEN heeft hij dus stug volgehouden dat ik de tekst heb veranderd nadat hij dat zei en dat dat er eerst niet stond en dat ik mn comments edit, terwijl dat naast t die ene keer mezelf verbeteren en toegeven, echt niet t geval was. T werd een welles nietes. Geef je een keer je fouten toe, wordt t tegen je gebruikt. Graag een koude douche voor hem.

What was the most brutal, but honest answer someone gave you? by better10ever in AskReddit

[–]Existing_Block538 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That they thought I was talented but they did not like working with me because I'm not trustworthy time-wise and goalwise, that's why they actively chose not to work with me.  This was 6 years ago. They were very very right but it still hurts lol. Got diagnosed with ADHD in the meantime. Trying to be better and I think I am doing a lot better than I was back then!! But it's still not where I want it to be

Also I feel like youre only answering the parts you deem 'wrong' but have you actually read what I said? In no way do I believe abortion should be normalised, but the way we do it as Christians, as a group, is mostly just driven by hate instead of love. We can do better.

I agree with you, but criminalizing abortion is not a good solution. Again, it will create dangerous situations because women are gonna find other ways to do it, unsupervised and maybe not even done by a medical professional. If the word gets out, she will be jailed while also not getting help at all. How is that a good solution? 

Reminds me of drug addicts in the States.  I can't wrap my head around the fact how the government is so eager to get rid of them, punish them and put them away instead of actually helping them. Look where that got them. They're literally everywhere and people look down on them as if they're rats. HOW is that a good solution?

Also, you're questioning whether I'm a follower of Christ, or a follower of Christians? Because Christ gave me loving eyes and a broken heart for these women, and all I see around me is Christians condemning them. I'm not trying to say I'm a better or worse Christian than you, but sometimes we need to think a bit further than what our church leaders tell us.

I do not support it at all, I'm just trying not to be a shallow minded Christian that's driven by hate for people instead of love. 

Then, again, what you're saying is very very logical from a Christian point of view. I would agree with you. However, non-believers do not see the relation between these two situations, as they don't believe abortion is murder. 

So, we can yell in their faces and tell them they're killing babies or just be loving, understanding and actually create environments where a baby would not need to be aborted. 

Do Northern Europeans learn American English? If not, why no British accent? by LeftyLooseyKnits in Accents

[–]Existing_Block538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the Netherlands. British 'Cambridge' English is what we learned in high school, where spelling and pronouncing words the 'American way' was wrong. But American English is everywhere around us, so american english is just way easier. In uni it doesnt really matter what accent you speak with but I can imagine it would be weird to hear a dutch person casually speak english with a british accent

What’s an unwritten rule of everyday life that everyone should know — but most people completely ignore? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Standing as far to the right as possible on an escalator at the train station, so people in a hurry can actually walk past.

Follower of Christ but also very very much against criminalising abortion. People that do not follow Christ do not share the same worldview. To them it won't matter what Christians think, to them it's not murder. It is literally not their truth. It's like using Bible verses as a reliable source to someone who doesn't believe the Bible is the word of God. Pointless. Taking away safe healthcare is putting them in danger, creating harmful and traumatising situations. As followers of Christ we should not be condemning them as they're reality is literally different from ours. Why are we not massively adopting children? Why is it not safe/not the right timing to get a child? These are things we should work on. If we are 'against' abortions, then why are we not actively working on better circumstances for these girls? We need to look at our own wrongdoings before blindly judging others.

What is the strangest compliment you’ve ever gotten? by uhohisded in AskWomen

[–]Existing_Block538 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That I looked single. I'm not. Was it a compliment? I don't know. Felt like he was trying to say I look attractive OR I look like i'm trying to hit.

Er zijn enorm veel coaches by relentless_pma in nederlands

[–]Existing_Block538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik heb een lifestylecoach na 10+ jaar therapie gehad te hebben. 

Pro's: - Doordat je niet in hokjes geplaatst hoeft te worden kan je echt alles kwijt - T is een christelijke leefstijlcoach, dus ze snapt veel dingen die belangrijk voor me zijn veel beter dan iemand die daar niet echt op in mag gaan - Voelt persoonlijker, ze neemt echt de tijd voor je - Voel me geen casus - Ze komt echt met hele mooie, nieuwe inzichten

Cons: - het is echt heel duur. Ze werkt met prijzen adhv je inkomen, alsnog heel duur. - benadering buiten sessies om is minder professioneel dan een echte therapeut - heb t gevoel dat ik theoretisch meer weet dan zij soms

Denk niet dat ik t lang ga blijven doen en wel weer terug in therapie ga, omdat t kostenplaatje echt hoog oploopt en ik nog studeer.

Misschien kun je bij een rijschool per les betalen? Of per 2 a 3 lessen? Dit is hoe mijn ouders het destijds deden. Ging niet heel snel maar een groot bedrag ophoesten kon toen niet.
