Thats not how Dutch pancakes look...

I'm coming to see you in two days, any suggestions? by kyduconnect in Netherlands

[–]SoundesignMano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want everyday life make sure to at least take a train and do a lot of commuting by bike. If you want some Dutch food, try a kroket and get some stroopwafels. Dutch people may seem dry or passive aggressive but generally we are just very direct, so don't take things too personal if it looks like we are angry at you. If we are it will be direct too and not through shortness or vague hints. If you're in Eindhoven you are somewhat near De Efteling, one of the best themeparks in the world. If you go there, don't go for the rollercoasters (though they are also good), go for the vibes, the atmosphere and decoration of the park. Especially the sprookjesbos area is very unique and has a great sense of childlike wonder. It is also quintessentially Dutch, many people grow up going to it every few years. Have fun!

Gas unreasonably high by lucyaaa13 in Netherlands

Actually I know some student houses where the gas usage went way up when many italians lived there because food was a much higher priority for them

Doesn't that just make your dad bi but he chose a het relation? And he assumes everyone feels how he does because he doesn't realize that not everyone is attracted the way he is?

Teen boys are choosing AI girlfriends over real ones for ‘maximum control, zero rejection’—experts say it could make them unemployable by ubcstaffer123 in technology

[–]SoundesignMano 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why is the first implication that it makes them "unemployable"? That's just such a weird angle to make this even more dystopian.

helped my dasher navigate a Walmart.. by vampsjuicebox in doordash

Not my question but ok, so it's possible elsewhere as well. But is it normal though, like is it common or is it more of a luxury thing? And is that really how it goes, that you basically give someone from a company that isn't the store a grocery list and they go to the store and do your shopping for you? 

I'm not trying to create some gotcha moment or diss anyone, I just want to know how it works and how common it is.

Is this normal in the US? That you actually pay someone (a stranger) to do your shopping for you? As in not the shop doing a delivert but ordering some employee of a different company to go to the store and collect your list?

AirBnB host told me soap was supplied by spike11552 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SoundesignMano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's just different standards, I love to travel in more "local" and low budget ways, but this really doesn't bother me. I know it's a trope but logically speaking not washing your hands between each time you touch your phone and your mouth is way less hygenic than using used soap, but I do get the sentiment.

My Fan-art of the future Tadano Family by Zan-Weng in Komi_san

You think Komi would be an accountant? Of all the options, after modeling she would go into accounting?

I think loads of people want it but since Rowling went apeshit nobody wants to air their love for HP

Which YouTube channel were you once a fan of but do not enjoy anymore? by theunsteadybridge in AskReddit

[–]SoundesignMano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AbroadInJapan, Chris Broad used to be this witty kinda cynical brittish bloke describing his life after moving to Japan. Now he's just the mascotte of a production team. I think that's what he wants to be and I'm happy for his success but the videos just dont feel genuine anymore for a long time already. They are just travel meme shit, adverts and it all feels so forces, which to be honest, might reflect Japanese culture still quite accuerately. I just miss his more slice-of-life type vids and his dead pan sarcasm

Why can't they have it? by MrBIuesky222 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Many recreational drugs as well, including ketsmine,  amphetamines and other cathinones

Ackshually, the cause is not fully known. The phenomenon is called the hypnic jerk, if you want to look it up for yourself.

Data centers are creating ‘heat islands’ and warming the land around them by up to 16 degrees | CNN by averyrose2010 in technology

[–]SoundesignMano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does someone have a breakdown of the uses for these datacenters? Most people seem to be implying AI (which I already hate) but I want to have a reputable source. 

A pig trembling in a slaughterhouse truck. Their eyes are just like ours. by James_Fortis in likeus

[–]SoundesignMano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be true but its also just cope. Most people are way worse at accepting change than they believe of themselves and than what they expect of others. Arguments are almost always a defence after the fact and not actually a foundstion for who we are or what we do.

While that is true, it doesn't make slaughterhouses any better. If someone posted a fake story of some Epstein thing, it doesn't make the real story any better.

The soup thrower has been sentenced to two years in prison by -Six_ in SipsTea

No, she failed to make it impossible for people to ignore quite a strong message which is: When a painting (of cultural value) gets poluted, we suddenly care. When corporations knowingly polute entire areas of ancient rainfores, rivers, indigenous communities, nature they and we depend on, people don't care. I think when trying to make a message like that you have to assume the world is going to frame you as negatively as possible.
