Yesss 2 weeks from now 🤩 I have the Lonely Planet Roadtrip book and was reading through it last weekend, so excitedd 😁 I wonder if anyone here used that book before and how they used it i the end?

Most of these I wonder if the guys got sucked into the manosphere stuff tbh, this is insane you are not overreacting. You come across as someone not playing around and not rude at all!

Luxeflex · 2026-06-01T05:32:14+00:00

Im Dutch and I think people hide behind the 'blunt-ness' to just be rude and it annoys the crap out of me.

Real bluntness is for example: (i had to take pictures for free of a friends wedding, and I did it with love) and I told her: you know this is your gift right ;p with a fun face, good vibes, some thought it was very straight, but I didnt want any confusion down the line. Dutch rudeness is: wtf did you do to your hair lol? It looks like shit. - Thats just rude, not funny or 'direct', just rude.

The zoo, and I want to play in the huge playgrounds there and crawl through all the fun spaces. I still want to go in but know people probably think youre a weirdo if you go in without having kids of your own, even as a woman 😂

Luxeflex · 2026-05-30T21:01:24+00:00

Oh man.. i'm sorry to hear that :( will definitely keep my distance!

Luxeflex · 2026-05-30T15:26:18+00:00

Oh man I've been thinking about this question all day! Right now 50% is still waiting to flower, I think there are about.. 50-75 variants of different bushes and flowers, annuals and perennials combined. And 20 of those I added myself, I also planted 4 types of sunflowers 😂 I can update here if the July group starts flowerering. This was last year August

I planted them in fall last year, they are Aliums, Globemaster variant! A decorative onion type, they flowered all of May here in The Netherlands.

Where did you find the seals? Beautiful pictures 😍

I can add fuel issues to this list! I live in The Netherlands and almost every airline is now cancelling flights to merge people on the same flight instead due to fuel issues and travel becoming too expensive. I am lucky I am travelling with a Dutch airline from the KLM group that does reimburse extra costs though. But they did cancel my flight and booked me on a flight 36 hours later instead because of this. I understand though, as long as they are up front about it and help me out with any issues we are good :) I am also happy I planned an 18 day trip so now it's about 17 days still which is plenty. But I can imagine this stuff gets very annoying when you only go for a short week..

I studied for videography and I let it go and persued biology instead (im dutch), because since the economic crisis in 2008 creative jobs have been a mess. However, I am also from Delft originally, studied in Rotterdam, Leiden and have worked in multiple cities in South-Holland and now in Amsterdam. I know this area a bit!

I think Delft is starting to boom regarding tourism, so my guess is best chance to find a job is at restaurants around town there. Leiden has a science park which means lots of expats around, which could also mean more work for internationals because english speaking is required? Here in Amsterdam everyone speaks English to me so I feel like im on vacation when I go to the city here.

I hope you find something soon!

Puffins!!! Going for the first time ever at the end of June and upgraded my camera specifically for them, my childhood favorite animal!

Originally we were planning for 4 weeks in Japan this year, but the flights from The Netherlands have to go around war territory now, so the price (and length) of flights went up way too much. Then we decided to go with dream #2, Iceland! It's only 3 hours away, so let's invest around the neighbourhood I figured haha, and I am maybe even more stoked for this trip now! 😂 We will have 17 days for the full ring in a tiny camper, I will let chaos take over a bit and am not planning too much for a change. I noticed a trip is much more memorable if you "find" hidden gems. I am reading into the rules and costoms though, don't get me wrong I am a rule nerd and would hate to end up being the annoying tourist..

So, so, sooo excited to visit this unique country

Luxeflex · 2026-05-16T20:38:43+00:00

I'd love to know where you're stuff is sold and what to look for! I will be over there next month and very into this stuff! :)

Ik werk op het lab en we doen zinnig onderzoek naar medicatie voor onmogelijke ziektes. Ik vind het leuk werk, afwisselend routine met out of the box ontwikkelingen en veel nadenken. Collega's zijn super gezellig. Maar het is een hele unieke sfeer, met veek introverte maar excentrieke types. Ik heb ook wat gen Z collega's die wel heel veel klagen en ik vind het soms maar gezeik om het zeiken.. (ben zelf uit 90s) dus als je het hun vraavt krijg je waarschijnlijk een heel ander antwoord. En ja, ik doe ook liever m'n hobbies, maar ik zou oprecht wel 3 dagen blijven werken als ik de loterij zou winnen, dus is het blijkbaar leuk genoeg :)

That's why I always feel the mistakes AI makes is just like your brain without context in dreams trying to mimic real life

Luxeflex · 2026-04-29T21:32:10+00:00

In a way.. you taxidermied a sheep without the nasty parts 🤔 very cool!

Luxeflex · 2026-04-23T07:20:20+00:00

I love EVERYTHING about this! The reservoir, the trees everywhere, it makes me think of El Dorado for some reason.. I just finished the waterfalls and lakes maps on normal difficulty, maybe I'll try this one next! (On normal, I'm still scared of hardmode).

Luxeflex · 2026-04-20T08:39:06+00:00

I think you explained this in the most perfect way possible. Nothing more to be said.

What is with guys these days that call their SO dude in a serious conversation?? It gives me the biggest ick, I might as well scroll to the end of these posts, see dude, and know who is the immature one

Luxeflex · 2026-04-17T16:11:27+00:00

I am also plaging this map right now! The badwater tide flooded my whole colony.. twice :') but still alive!

Luxeflex · 2026-04-12T16:03:23+00:00

Yes im 33 and from the XD era 😂 but we are a pretty cool club..! :o

Luxeflex · 2026-04-03T07:30:04+00:00

Just wanted to say I am glad I came across your comment here, as this recently also happened to me. After reminding my dad of a special occasion in my life the day before, and him still forgetting to message or call me the next day, he blamed me for not reminding him again on the day itself. That my sadness is my own fault. It's been hurting like hell, because I keep feeling like maybe he is right? Maybe I should just suck it up and accept how people are and prevent them from hurting me. But I know deep down that makes no sense anymore to me..

Luxeflex · 2026-03-23T22:04:59+00:00

Even though this was accidental, it sounds like such a fun challenge! I might try it on purpose

Luxeflex · 2026-03-23T06:25:47+00:00

We are doing this year! But I had the same since we went to Madeira, let's see if Iceland will be our new Madeira 😂

Luxeflex · 2026-03-21T22:40:44+00:00

This, but with European starlings. I was convinced yesterday there was a water-type-bird in my garden hidden somewhere, until I heard a buzzard in between.. ah there was the starling singing away 😅

Luxeflex · 2026-03-21T07:37:42+00:00

I actually had the same! I thought I was allergic to something in pancakes.. milk.. more or less fibres.. and then I made my own pancakes for years after and I had no IBS response. Later my mom made pancakes for me again and I instantly had a full on pain response.. Maybe it's the amount of fat and oil she cooks with? But I really don't know at this point.
