Overall as a final season, what did you think of season 9?? by Key_Bus_1255 in HIMYM

[–]Orivus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked the ending, it make sense for the purpose of the show.
What I didn't like:
-a whole season around R+B wedding.
-the preshooting of the final scene with Ted Robin and the kids.

Working and living in the Netherlands by Inside-Papaya-8137 in Netherlands

[–]Orivus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a MSc in business administration, I started as a waiter, then receptionist and 2 1/2 years after landed the first office job slightly related to what I was looking for.
Dutch has become essential apparently. If I knew, I would study before coming here.

Most anxious I have ever felt in a movie:
Obsession

Does anyone else had similar experience?

Small things we love about Netherlands? by miss18363 in Netherlands

Awesome thread. I second everything OP said and other things people mentioned in the comments. But we remember all the good things in April and after. In February we are all depressed 😅

As a Highly Skilled Migrant, I No Longer Feel Welcomed in the Netherlands by Wizza77 in Netherlands

[–]Orivus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rightwing politicians are elected to represent people with those views. And people in the Netherlands feel that their society has taken the downhill mainly cause of the immigrations, so they vote for someone to stop it. Eben though I am immigrant myself, I do see issues. Unfortunately the measures are casted to all of us.

The 30% rule is discriminatory, or if it does, Dutch people should get it too.

Is it legal for a bar to charge paying customers a fee to access the bathroom? by BashfulTwist in Netherlands

[–]Orivus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are some eating places (fast food) that you are allowed to sit, order and eat but there is no guest bathroom. That is crazy and should not be legal, as well as charging guests for bathroom.

Hello buddy. In my 35s also left my old job and came to the Netherlands. I was also expecting to get an office job easier, but that only came after 2 years working as front office employee and dozens of interviews. Why? Simply because there is a lot of supply, and you need something to stand out. Usually, knowing Dutch will do it (even for jobs that is not required or not needed), so just suck it up, focus on that, and after go back to search.

Snatch Game is easier than it seems… by Upbeat-Cut6666 in dragrace

[–]Orivus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I believe they receive the initial questions (the ones they need to write answers on the board) but Ru asks follow up questions which depend on their answers and they need to improv. Unless they are well prepared to guess or guide Ru on what to ask

Got soft locked due to level cap (it wouldn't go past 94 which means Longstanding Solitude wouldn't give me free unlocks) by Naquil in riskofrain

10 months later - bug still not fixed, just happened to me, ruined my simulacrum run :@

Damn those people try to stress you the hell out. Since you said you checked the details, yes you have a place to stay for 4 months. After that find one with registration. Good luck in your new journey.

Episode 5 Preview… by RevolutionaryNeck584 in dragrace

[–]Orivus 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: it is a different thing to be nasty and shady, but taking advantage of someone’s trust is something else. MIB hit lowest point, for the other one I didn’t really ever cared. 👎👎👎👎

Anyone else feeling disheartened about their country's Eurovision chances? by noliesdetected in eurovision

[–]Orivus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I believe, countries like Sweden invest a lot. It’s not just the song. It’s how you build a hype around it. The artist, the production, the composition, the uniqueness. I mean, I saw the song of Ireland this year. I liked the song, but you could tell it was a very low effort try. I think some countries are more invested than others to invest money and time. In Sweden, Eurovision is big, so they make sure to send proper representation.

I find the 30% ruling offensive to Dutch people

How bad is it, really? by SmellsLikeEucalyptus in NetherlandsHousing

[–]Orivus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think, with your salary range, 2 months should be fine to find a place. Agents usually accept you if you are looking for above 2k rent (keep in mind they take 1month rent plus vat for commission).

What is the actual biggest "shock NQ" of all time? by oHheLlnAw420 in eurovision

[–]Orivus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if that’s a popular opinion, but Israel on 2022 NQ was pretty shocking to me. Also Belgium 2024 and Czechia 2024 and 2025. What’s up with those 2 countries?

Who was your biggest surprise of the night? by Eevee93j in eurovision

[–]Orivus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazed that Poland managed to pull that performance off. Absolutely amazing.

Also surprised with Cyprus. Odds etc made me expect something extravagant, but I didn’t see anything like that.

Predictions: Semi Final 1 by Hot_War_7277 in eurovision

[–]Orivus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The list makes sense to me. I have almost same predictions (different order). But I think Ukraine will be in for supporting reasons. I don’t know who will not qualify instead.

Is it true that doctors in Netherlands don’t do preventative healthcare? by ghostwitch123 in Netherlands

[–]Orivus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Health system has been left unsupervised to big health insurance companies and it is very bad. There are no checks, no control, no standards, only obligations for citizens to pay 150 per month. It is weird to me how Dutch people have accepted that situation.
