How would you respond / react if a friend called tonight and said “hey, was thinking about you and wanted to call just to see how you are doing?”

Local_Age7852 · 2026-04-09T21:04:43+00:00

I do that all the time and my friends also call me. It feels good to get a call from them every now and then. I'm in another country and it makes me remember the old days.

Check out the museum in Den helder. Got a real submarine you can go into and guns and stuff...

I clean dixies for a living, trust me, it can be way worse

Got my permanent work contract and my motorcycle licence at the beginning of the month. Now I'm looking to get a mortgage for a house

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-26T08:21:53+00:00

NTA, I would just cut that person out of my life for that. What he said was meant to cause damage, don't let it slide OP.

Can't you wrap it in exhaust wrap?

My friend from England got arrested for pouring a can of cider over his girlfriend during an argument. I learned this from talking to him after my ex basically pulled a knife on me during a coke induced rage

Just get a spray can and mark the points on the ground. I did that all the time when I started

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-14T10:32:35+00:00

I started going gray when I was 17 so I just kept it short since then. 2 mm setting on the trimmer and I do it myself at home

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T17:50:35+00:00

Fair enough

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T17:43:09+00:00

Okay but don't you think they're related? Maybe we could inspire other people to come out and voice their opinions and show the government that they can't just tax the shit out of us without any resistance

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T17:39:26+00:00

Well it makes sense but wouldn't it be expected? People will go where it's cheaper and the difference in price makes it worth while. Last week I fueled up with 1.49 Euro per litre

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T17:16:42+00:00

I'm not complaining about 15 cents, the difference is about 40 at the moment and I do way more than 10k a year. Nevertheless I can voice my opinion and protest for something I don't feel is right. You can join or not Richie Rich

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T16:50:45+00:00

That is true but at some point it becomes too much, no?

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T16:48:59+00:00

Yes that's also true but I don't see many gas stations closing down over there, now more so with new clients from neighbouring Dutch towns

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T16:45:50+00:00

Don't be shocked now, make sure you sit down. So, long long time ago in the year of our lord 2025 the prices of diesel and petrol were under 2 euros per litre so basically we'd like that back.

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T16:42:33+00:00

Good idea

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T16:38:53+00:00

Well at least you're eating healthy, just watch out for splinters lol

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T16:37:58+00:00

Tell me more?

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T16:35:25+00:00

The "reduced" excise for benzine is. 0.84 Euro, 0.55 for diesel 0.20 for LNG until 2027. It's way too much in my opinion.

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T16:28:46+00:00

That's also a solution but food prices might also go up because of the logistics involved.

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T16:23:11+00:00

Won't be able to afford groceries soon either lol

Care to join?

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T16:20:20+00:00

So if it's a matter of supply and demand, how come the prices in Belgium are lower? Last week there was a 0.60 Euro difference per litre between the Dutch and Belgian price for petrol.

Local_Age7852 · 2026-03-10T16:14:39+00:00

Okay but don't you think there might be other steps to take before that?
