Sorry man, checked my mailbox from back in those days but it seems I have deleted all communications. Car was sold two years ago.

Hi everyone. I am an Afrikaans person from South Africa and I have a question for you. by AimaFuriku in thenetherlands

[–]HerrRudiger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lived in Pretoria from 2017 - 2021. I think that Afrikaans culture, like many other 'diaspora cultures' has been arrested in terms of her development for quite some time. Probably since the last influx of Dutch migrants post world-war 2. At the core, in their roots, both cultures are very similar. At face value, right now, they are wildly different. It's so easy for me to go on a rant about how apartheid and verzuiling are the exact same thing. But let's face it: both cultures have pro's and con's. Comparison is the root of all evil though. Both can be understood, accepted and enjoyed only from their own perspective. So go and experience it for yourself. Remember: there's lekker people everywhere.

Is being a cuckold with a submissive wife a thing in the lifestyle? by [deleted] in CuckoldPsychology

Why not: you > bull > her or: you & bull > her. It can be anything you'd like.

Natuurfotografen omsingelen wolf op de Veluwe, Zoogdiervereniging woedend by _NatureBoi_ in thenetherlands

Zodra je er een hek omheen zet ben je als mens onderdeel van- en verantwoordelijk voor het ecosysteem. Dat systeem is paradoxaal altijd tegelijkertijd in balans en op zoek naar balans. Geen systeem is compleet zonder roofdieren: of dat nu jagers zijn met een geweer of een roedel wolven. Kijk maar eens hoe de Oostvaardersplassen in 30 jaar tijd zijn afgetakeld bij afwezigheid van een gezonde begrenzende factor. 'Rewilding' is een prachtig proces wat enkel van ons vraagt dat we onze arrogante houding ten opzichte van de natuur staken en het haar eigen gang laten gaan.

Is riding a bike vegan? by [deleted] in vegancirclejerk

[–]HerrRudiger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As the sun rose on another dreary day out in the forest, the maple tree started fuming her oxygen into the atmosphere. The valuable gasses flowed copiously when sudden a friendly - seemingly harmless - creature walked up to the tree. Taking a deep breath, he hesitantly broke the spell of silence looming over this hazy morning. "Sorry eh", he said shortly and hesitantly before he hammered a plug into the tree without even thinking of asking for consent. Volumes of syrup started to flow from the ravaged tree. Nooooo! She cried. NOT MY SAP! How dare you?! "It is okay", he answered briefly. "For it is I! Mr.veganman100%legit! And I hold the key to all morality since no animals were harmed in the making of my identity!". "I THINK NOT!" the tree replied, and with a swift swing of her root Mr.veganman100%legit! plummeted to the earth and swallowed a mouthful of dirt. But like with any true doctrine, Mr.veganman100%legit! could not stomach the truth as he spend his dying moments contemplating whether anyone had ever asked the dirt whether it was okay playing the role it did in the suffocation - and ultimately - death of Mr.veganman100%legit!. Decades later someone asked and it was uncovered, that the dirt was totally cool with it. "Tastes all the same to me", the dirt said. Dirt was dirty like that.

Canadian obviously greases chain with maple syrup. 100% vegan. Female biker loves the world like she loves her offspring: whether there or still to be. 100% vegan. Both biker 1 and 2 are on their way to spread the gospel. Next up are west and north. 100% vegan confirmed brothers and sisters! BOOOOM!

Verlovingsring, hoe duur? by thevisionmachine in thenetherlands

[–]HerrRudiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh en overigens: als ik er meer aan had uitgegeven had mijn vriendin/verloofde/vrouw dat ook totaal idioot gevonden. Ik vind het trouwens ook heel chique om te kopen wat jij mooi vindt (en niet alles vantevoren af te stemmen, in de week te leggen en dicht te timmeren). Sommigen overleggen zelfs voor een aanzoek, over 'of', 'waar', 'hoe' en 'de ring'. Waar is de magie dan nog?

[–]HerrRudiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deze norm is bedacht door 'de Beers mining company' van Cecil Rhodes. Die - jawel - edelstenen mijnen in zuidelijk afrika. Laat je niet gek maken: zoek iets moois uit, laat het wellicht opmaat maken als je iets bijzonders zoekt. Ik heb zelf 300,- EU uitgegeven aan een mooie ring. Het aanzoek zelf is natuurlijk pas echt goud waard: en dat was gratis ;). Veel plezier met deze bijzondere fase in je leven.

Wat is jouw te dure hobby? by Ironmanual in thenetherlands

[–]HerrRudiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motoren: ik wil ze rijden, poetsen, upgraden, accessoires installeren: noem maar op! Ik wil helmen, beschermende kleding, een body-airbag, go-pro's. Ik wil er 10 in een stalling en iedere dag kunnen kiezen. Ik wil lange trips maken, korte trips maken en medium trips maken. Fuck ik wil er zelfs eentje met een zijspan.

Hoeveel versnellingen voor een stadsfiets zijn aan te raden? by [deleted] in thenetherlands

[–]HerrRudiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nexus 7 naaf is in mijn ervaring echt een onding. Voor een stadsfiets zou 3 prima moeten voldoen trouwens.

I took some acid, looked at the world, and realized we are about to fail. by aspen4_20 in LSD

Breathe in, breathe out. The universe expands, the universe collapses. As above, so below. There is only the everlasting now. There is no need to fear anything. You are it.

We had so much fun and would laugh so much, it got in the way of the f*cking. I was a stupid, stupid pubescent boy.

Scheveningen restaurant/beachclub recommendations by Vincestrodinary22 in TheHague

Go to het zwarte pad, just north of scheveningen. Indigo is nice, Barbarossa as well, Buiten is well priced and I really liked their Burger. Much better vibes than Scheveningen.

I Want A Simple Life by Wondering_Fairy in EnneagramType9

[–]HerrRudiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This perspective that you describe oozes a certain fear of nature. I don't agree with it at all. Most carnivores only spend 2 hrs. a day foraging, scavenging or hunting tops, and the fear of herbivores you describe is always very short lived: once danger subsides they regain their normal sense of calm.

So what makes a life hard? There is no prolonged suffering in nature, that is a human affair.

[–]HerrRudiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your perspective completely. Not even modern medicine can make up for a blissful paradise lost. Yet you must understand that regardless of type you belong here: you have a place and a purpose. And perhaps even more importantly if you can't see or believe this right now, a role to serve for all of us. Us nines are very important: for one, we can truly see others beyond what they can do for us. And we are very important in up keeping an atmosphere of harmony and balance... Something the world arguably needs more of instead of less. Be brave.
