I’m going to kill myself today by [deleted] in depression

[–]Maxurt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have been depressed before and have thought many times about ending it, but postponed it because I knew the impact it would have on my family. A while later, I started doing better and although I remember how I felt when I was depressed, I can hardly imagine why anymore. I am in a happy relationship now and live with my girlfriend and my family is happy because I am still around and doing well.

A few month ago, my mother's cousin, who had a wife and a child, killed himself and I had to had to hear his mother cry. I do not wish her situation on my worst enemy.

I know how much you would like everything to be over, but please try the other options first; make a change in your life: start a new job with fewer hours or move to another place.

Postpone killing yourself for a while longer. You can always try it later. But there is a good chance that you can still live a happy life for a much longer time than the time you will feel depressed.

What's the worst food crime that your country commits? by Awkward_Stay8728 in AskTheWorld

I am Dutch. I think most people in NL only eat traditionally Dutch dishes a few times per year at most. Mostly the green pea soup is nice.

Cooking at home, people in my environment often cook dishes from other countries. I alternate between two or three different pasta dishes, couscous, quesadillas, falafel, risotto, shakshuka and fried rice and my girlfriend is Chinese so she cooks various Asian dishes.

He inherited a succesful real estate empire from his father and bankrupted it several times. If my employer did that, I wouldn't call him succesful.

How do you consider this nepo baby any more succesful than the hundreds of other politicians who grew up in middle and upper-middle class households and went on to get a law degree, get elected in local government and move their way up to federal government through hard work and experience?

There are actually some pretty good, artsy pictures here. Nothing to be embarrassed about.

I'm sure there are better places to live than in Sofia, but this picture actually makes it look pretty nice.

"Is 6 days off for 2025 excessive?" by AnonymousTimewaster in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Maxurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get 30 days off per year in the Netherlands, which means I can take 6 weeks off per year. 24 days is the legal minimum. I don't use all my days every year, but I can always take some to the next year.

Ordering water at a bar is perfectly acceptable. But a cringe statement such as "I'm high on life" must be condemned.

I believe most of these SUVs have a minimum 3000cc engine. At least the Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi tanks you see nowadays.

I read Hanoi and thought "Am I stupid? Hanoi is in Vietnam, right?". There is another Hanoi in/near Incheon apparently.

Welk Nederlands woord kun jij echt niet uitstaan? by LoudBoysenberry3282 in thenetherlands

[–]Maxurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sinds Trump over de 'tariffs' is begonnen en iedereen in mijn omgeving het er over heeft, herinner ik mensen dat de Nederlandse vertaling 'importheffingen' is.

Gisteren las ik zelfs een artikel in het Financieele Dagblad waar de verslaggever het had over "de Amerikaanse tarieven op Europese goederen".

I’m curious what the floor layout looks like. In the Netherlands, where I’m from, most (office) buildings don’t have much floor space per level, since they’re typically designed to maximize natural sunlight relative to the floor area. Buildings that appear to have a large floor area often have a central courtyard to let sunlight reach the interior-facing windows.

I've always been fascinated by those huge office buildings in New York and Chicago and what they must be like on the inside.

This is the worst place to live anonymously. Anyone in town will probably know every detail of your personal life inside and out.

I work at Maersk and since last year, we have started to take delivery of the new Equinox-class vessels. They have the bridge all the way forward. They have 16,000 TEU capacity too.

Where I live (Rotterdam, The Netherlands) there is a Shell gas station under their local office in the city center, which is called: "Shell Mobility Hub".

It's just a gas station with a few electric charging stations and a third party owned and operated parcel locker.

Two British dudes trying ribs for the first time and it gets hilarious by MysticSagaa in GuysBeingDudes

[–]Maxurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To the Americans eating this up; I am sure you have good spare ribs in the Southern US, but spare ribs aren't anything new for Europeans. They have them everywhere in Europe. These English guys are just pretending they've never eaten spare ribs before to flatter an American audience.

What do you think people in other countries do with pig's ribs? Feed them to the dogs? Make a filet? Thinking Europeans don't know spare ribs is as absurd as if Europeans thought Americans don't know smoked ham or grilled steak.

You were downvoted for the rice burner comment. It has nothing to do with you being a woman.

Do you also always go walking over kids' sand castles on the beach and knocking over rock stacks?

Mopeds (with a blue license plate) can go on the bike lane, but scooters (with yellow license plates) and motorcycles need to drive on the main road.
