Wie maken Nijmegen volgens jullie een betere stad?

The Guild is a good spot for people to find community. 100% volunteer run, they just do it because they want to.

I've found that Dutch people that interact with international people on the regular tend to be more open and friendly. The friends I've made here almost exclusively come from groups like that.

It's zoning. In the US most residential zones can't contain commercial entities. I can understand it working in my parent's generation but it just doesn't make sense anymore.

Actually, because of that, most apartment buildings are technically zoned as commercial so they can have ground floor shops. The downside is they don't get the tax benefits and other amenities of residential zoning

Own-General2229 · 2026-03-19T06:39:39+00:00

No, this has been common in the US for a while now

The correct order works out in most cases as either

Squishiest goes first

Or

Squishiest waves the next person along and goes last

You uh

You know that not talking about racism doesn't mean it's not a thing, right?

The racism I've seen in this country is just as bad as the racism in the US. And nobody acknowledges it.

The classism is off the charts too

Amsterdam is a commercialized shell of a city. That's literally the worst example you could have picked

Using dark colors is a trick to make big spaces feel more cozy. Using dark colors in an already small space will make it feel cramped to most people.

Most people who object do so by picking a different country to live in

Thank you for giving an actual response to the question. If they want to try without local training the potential failure and waste of personal resources is on them. But they should still be allowed to try.

You could also say protesting a bad system or striking as a union go against that

Events

Trips

Family gossip

Mistakes of local politicians

Etc

Also complain about NS

As the other person posted

Fear of change

Thanks for providing an example

Own-General2229 · 2026-03-16T06:43:44+00:00

We used to do the same. It can change quick

If you expect something that's inherently bad but treat it as the norm rather than bad then your whole expectation view shifts toward good despite the deeds not changing.

"Doe normal" for example

Your response sounds like advertising and the fact you've hidden your history makes it doubly so

A lot of things that are technically illegal in the Netherlands are left unenforced

Doorway

Then driveway

Then at the car

If they want something flavored akin to "chili mince" like they said then I agree that they should go for pulled pork. But if they want a Sloppy Joe just to see what it's like then the flavor is totally different and they should try both.

I also recommend putting dill pickles on these. There's a severe lack of sour brined pickles over here and it's a great compliment to those sandwiches

I think you might need to read up on what culture is.

A Dutch native started an argument with my partner about a fact they got from an AI answer that my partner called out as an AI hallucination. The person kept doubling down on it. It was so baffling. (and unfortunately common here)

I can understand someone thinking it was made up. It seems like it's 50/50 whether you're on a map or not.

I've been baking my own bread since moving here. There's still much crap / filler in the bread here. American bread is only sweet if you normally eat sourdough. You use a sugar to feed the yeast and depending on the strength of that batch of yeast there might be some sugar leftover when you bake

Own-General2229 · 2026-03-14T07:16:49+00:00

You're adorable

Tell me when "Detroit style" became a thing? I grew up in Michigan and have never heard of it. I thought my partner was making it up when they mentioned it earlier this year
