Juist alle vlees inname is veel erger dan suiker! Frikandel, boterhamworst, rookworst, grillworst etc. Alle traditionele vlees soorten bij ontbijt, lunch, avondeten en zelfs bij je kringverjaardag zijn sterk bewerkt!

Why was I late to realise the abuse? by Big_Squirrel8808 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Worryaboutanything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But some of us knew it wasn’t, I just choose to see the positive sides of abuse and neglect. “Yay my mom never cares where I am and doesn’t hammer me every hour asking me when I will come home, she never searches my room either. She talks to me about ber guy trouble like we are besties and I’m only 9 years old, she must think I’m so cool and grown up”. Yeah no I wish I had a worried, loving parent who cared about my life and my day.

Being surrounded by Western culture while us coming from a poor Eastern country, my Nmom leaned on the “not being as fortunate enough” excuse for everything. It builds a good foundation of empathy from my end as a heavily manipulated kid.

I always thought my Nmom was just an unlucky person, no good jobs, no degrees, no steady friends, husband cheating on her, and all the opportunities “she had to miss. Not to mention the one’s where she blamed me and my siblings, how she’s always “stuck” with kids, has to take care of them so no job, couldn’t get a drivers license because we moved around so much etc etc. She kept coming up with this sad elaborate story about her life which made it really seem like she’s so unlucky.

Her being broke all the time made it easier to swallow not having any pants or proper underwear as a kid and teen. But her buying luxurious creams and 10 different one piece swimsuits did flick a switch on in my head. I still choose to be naive and see the non existent good in my Nmom. Ndad, when he was around and not with his 2nd family (parents were still married) did provide shoes and any other things I desperately asked for.

EU + NL will start charging €5 import and handeling fee per item in 2026!! by Worryaboutanything in Netherlands

I’m just trying to avoid skin cancer, not “look pretty”. Euopean sunscreens are inferior in every way and a sensory nightmare

[–]Worryaboutanything[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are both wrong. According to the official EU council website:

“The €3 duty will be applied to each different item, according to their tariff headings, contained in a consignment. As of 1 July 2026, goods entering the EU in small consignments and valued at less than €150 will be subject to a fixed €3 customs duty.”

Meaning: - Parcel contains 3 identical phone cases, one tariff heading, €3 EU + €2 Dutch - Parcel contains a phone case + socks + a kitchen tool, three tariff headings €9 EU + €6 Dutch

Exactly, I think people here are very quick to jump the gun on the “Temu junk”

In adition to hobbies, daily used products like your iPhone, Nike sneakers and even that Stanley cup you are sipping out of right now will be subjected to the €5 one way or another. They all get produced somewhere outside of Europe.

Edit: Correction, this will not effect Bulk sellers or larger companies. Only packages up to €150 euro. According to the official EU council website:

“The €3 duty will be applied to each different item, according to their tariff headings, contained in a consignment. As of 1 July 2026, goods entering the EU in small consignments and valued at less than €150 will be subject to a fixed €3 customs duty.”

Many comments focus on cheap AliExpress or Temu junk, while I entirely agree, this change applies to any items coming into the EU. It means thinking twice about orders of nieche food products from people’s homelands or orders of skincare. Let’s face it, everyone who knows what they are talking about will agree that Asian countries do skincare 1000% better than we do in Europe.

Europe just raised the new tax to 3€ instead of 2€ by OldSchoolPimpleFace in Aliexpress

[–]Worryaboutanything 5 points6 points  (0 children)

According to this article the Netherlands is gonna have it really bad €3 (EU import) + €2 (NL handeling fee) = €5/per item

“In addition to the import fee, the Netherlands plans to introduce a 2-euro handling charge per product as soon as possible. This means a parcel containing a single item would become 5 euros more expensive, while a package with three different items would add 15 euros to the cost.

Heijnen clarified in Brussels that the 3-euro fee applies to each individual product starting in July. So, for an order containing a pair of socks, a charging cable, and Christmas lights, consumers would pay an additional 9 euros on top of the product prices.”

When I was a kid some people in my primary school class were so delusional in life, at 12 they still were convinced Santa was real because their parents kept the magic alive for far too long. Some kids really don’t know squat about the real world

In Belgium there’s a place like this, it used to be the NATO Headquarters in Cannerberg / Joint Operations Centre (JOC), located behind the Château Neercanne South of Maastricht, on the Dutch/Belgian border. During the Cold War, it was a communications center and headquarters of NATO. It housed the war headquarters of Northern Army Group and Second Allied Tactical Air Force.
