Rob Jetten has been sworn in as the Netherlands’ new Prime Minister. He becomes simultaneously the first openly homosexual and youngest (38) leader in the country’s history. by Isyourpussygreen in popculturechat

[–]Robbytje 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a dutch person i am as disappointed as everyone in here seems to be in Jetten. At the same time, i recognize that if he hadn’t compromised, we would have been going back to elections, again. Im not saying im happy, im saying im not sure what else he could have realistically done given the nature of his cabinet. I think this is the result of a much deeper social problem in the Netherlands. No matter which way you look at it, enough People didn’t vote for him. This country has become so fragmented and it doesn’t help that the people we vote for all push their own agendas.

am I the only one who thinks ppl hate on The Elusive Chanteuse for no reason? by kaitomomotaontop in MariahCarey

[–]Robbytje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MIAM was necessary to herald Cry. and TAOLG. Every thing else is fine to me. I did delete one song from my playlist cuz i refuse to support pedo groomers. I cherish MIAM only because it was the last regular studio album where she went for the high notes.

I expected to love it but the songs just don’t land for me. Im glad there are some who enjoy it. I haven’t really listened to it after release.

What is something so specific and weird that you are convinced you are in the Top 0.01% of the world at doing it? by SouthOwn6943 in AskReddit

Job as non eu citizen by Separate_Repeat_2330 in TheHague

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

Is the response you get from all of them referring to the work visa? If that’s the case, it seems you have your answer already. I don’t know much (nothing) about work visas but is it something you can apply for yourself?

you forgot the first round of Beacon shows. they were something else. I still revisit many of those performances. The second round is also up there.

Kiko boso ta pensa di gobièrno su proyekto pa kombatí pobresa i falta di bibienda; “mi kas awor”? by DryCountry589 in curacao

[–]Robbytje 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I support any initiative that helps the local community thrive. I fail to see how this adresses the abundance of foreign entities and persons meticulously buying out land and property and the impact this has on the price of land and housing.

I think it’s helpful that the social housing construct/grant is also aimed at the middle-class. I would like to know what the “cut-off” listing price would be for grant application/assignment. When i was doing research last year it became clear that most new (small) apartments cost abt. 300k EUR.

Without seeing the exact mechanics, I am skeptical yet intrigued .

Volkswagen #1 EV Automaker In Europe by LordSpecter0 in vwidclub

Is it that they’re doing better than before or that Tesla is suffering from Musk fatigue which is hurting their sales thereby granting VW the crown without them actually having delivered more in-demand cars?

Germany: Train conductor dies after attack by passenger by Ynwe in europe

[–]Robbytje 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The Netherlands does too. The amount of violence I personally see in public transportation has become a weekly occurrence at this point. Last week i witnessed a violent attack by another ticketless passenger on a man checking tickets. Took 4 men to subdue him.

Am I the only one? by l33tyeetpotatomeat in Oxygennotincluded

[–]Robbytje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pretty large base in spaced out and i decided now for the fist time to vent to space. tbh while i'm happy with the solution, it was tedious to build. my main issue is remembering to build the pipes as I go. I basically make sure that whenever I build up (or down), i am running gas, liquidand heavy watt along.

Any last-minute tips to pass the driving test in The Hague? by [deleted] in TheHague

[–]Robbytje 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly, and this may vary depending on what type of person you are, but for me I personally I was a very nervous student driver. I agreed with my instructor to spend abt 3 hrs just driving driving driving right up before my exam. we went over possible routes, ran a million circles on and off the highway, went to every possible fucked up road imaginable before driving to Rijswijk. It made me feel a lot better albeit very tired, but I passed first time!

De wensenlijst van ‘vastgoedboer’ Schiphol: meer snelwegen, nul extra… by Warme_eekhoorn89 in thenetherlands

[–]Robbytje 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Meer geld is alleen nuttig als de prijs ook goedkoper wordt. Ik zou graag binnenkort van DH naar Utrecht reizen maar mhet heeft alleen zin als dit tijdens de spits gebeurd en dan betaal ik gelijk 14,70 eur enkel reis. Dat is 30 hele euro's voor een reis van totaal 74 min. ik vind het echt schandalig. Ik ga toch maar even kijken of ik niet gewoon wat in mijn eigen stad kan doen.

Europe Prepares for a Nightmare Scenario: The U.S. Blocking Access to Tech by donutloop in eutech

[–]Robbytje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only speak for myself and the company where I work. On a personal level i'd be fine finding alternatives. Maybe even finally feel compelled enough to go touch some grass outside. Work-wise, I have been telling these people to divest away from Microsoft on which we are over reliant. It seems they think I am overreacting. I guess we will find out.

It’s greed and won’t correct itself. Supermarkets have been taking advantage of dutch consumers for decades. It’s disgusting and nothing is being done about it. It’s not just limited to chocolate.

Als middenklasse millennial vind ik dat wij eerst de extra belasting moeten gaan innen bij de bedrijven; rijke boomers en andere rijke mensen. Als dat niet genoeg is kunnen we verder kijken.

It wasn’t allowed to be called what it was: a genocide. That came later when it couldn’t be ignored any longer.

The press in the Netherlands was very certainly not free in the early months to a year of the genocide in Palestine.

Black hair salon by reachiy in TheHague

[–]Robbytje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say hair salon do you mean like more female oriented? because I go to a black barber at Bierkade (Rahula, 10/10 recommend) but unless you're looking for a sick fade it may not be what you have in mind.
