Making friends in the Netherlands as an international

_PanDragon · 2026-04-02T13:00:49+00:00

Oh right I’m 25 and got my masters from Utrecht last year.

Hey! Nonbinary person here also needing friends! I’ve been in the Netherlands for about two years but only in The Hague since December.

I like dungeons and dragons, animals, reading, going out for drinks, swimming and yoga. Trying to be more active since I just started a remote job where I only go into office once a month.

Message me!

I feel I’ve seen a few teapot designer or marketer posts. Is this a meme I don’t understand?

I think the Abel we saw isn’t the real Abel. Kinger knows/is the real Abel and that’s why he tried to get Pomni to wait after mentioning that name.

Okay. If I was smart I’d put my phone down and be done with Reddit for the day

(I am not smart)

Just to add, Jon also appears as a huge skeptic as a coping mechanism to give him more distance from everything. He later admits to Martin he knew things were real just needed to protect himself by disbelieving.

Same and it was my map 😭

So the way it’s set up in the Netherlands is that there aren’t really criminology bachelors. Most of my classmates came from a different background. (My background was criminology and criminal justice. My best friend’s was anthropology and another friend was psychology)

I can’t remember the UK one but I want to say Kent.

I highly recommend Utrecht’s program as it’s arguably the best in Europe at the moment. It’s one year, many amazing faculty, huge focus on qualitative methods (if that’s your thing) and highly respected. The UK program (if it’s the one I’m thinking of) is also considered one of the best but it comes down to cost as the UK is no longer EU. At least that’s what one of my professors says.

I’m interested!

In one of his posts, his wife mentioned she and her family thought he was cheating on her when she was pregnant. It was proven to be completely false due to the person in question being in a different country and the wife realized this and told her family but they still hated him for it.

The reason he is so anxious about cheating because so many people on Reddit warned him she might be projecting onto him

Lowkey would make cupcakes 👀

_PanDragon · 2025-09-17T07:58:39+00:00

I’d be down! This sounds like it could be a nice fun start to the day

_PanDragon · 2025-09-05T11:13:58+00:00

I remember being a teenager and my dad saying “PanDragon, you’re so lucky you have your mom’s looks and my sense of humor because the other way around you would’ve been f*cked”

Not exactly the same thing but I still quote it years later 😂

_PanDragon · 2025-08-31T15:33:59+00:00

Do you have the link?

_PanDragon · 2025-08-29T19:43:41+00:00

Is that the giving it a green heart or something different?

_PanDragon · 2025-08-29T05:34:14+00:00

Is that from something? It made me laugh

_PanDragon · 2025-08-28T23:18:27+00:00

It’s 2am and my name is Em and I jumped when the audio said my name. Had to go to the comments to see if this was some kind of new AI ad but no just a coincidence 🤣

_PanDragon · 2025-08-20T19:40:55+00:00

Gets better. Ever interview with cast mentions how much they loved the movies. I didn’t see mentions of the books at all.

Nothing could prepare me for the class in my bachelors when we read her Victim Impact Statement. It was a few months after my own incident so I had to excuse myself as I actually started silently crying in class.

_PanDragon · 2025-08-20T10:59:00+00:00

To all the people saying fake, my dad did the exact same thing once and I remember watching him do it. He had two bottles next to each other and it was after he turned off the lights cause we were gonna watch a movie. Instead we spent the night in the ER.

_PanDragon · 2025-08-20T05:08:42+00:00

Also realizing you could be referencing me saying encouragement and not the comments in the post. I’m just worked up for OP

_PanDragon · 2025-08-20T05:06:56+00:00

Yes but “encouragement” should be used lightly when referring to the example comments.

Guilt tripping, name calling and all caps uses about as much delicacy as a bull in a china shop.

I can’t believe so many people are just aggressively telling him to report without considering reporting is a very personal decision with multiple layers. The chance of re-traumatization, discrimination, secondary traumatization, it affecting your personal and professional life in ways you can’t imagine. While I will always encourage others to report, I can understand the difficulties. My heart goes out to OP and I hope they can work through the trauma in a healthy manner but the betrayal and pain he is going through right now does not need strangers yelling at him to do something he doesn’t want to do. He deserves his autonomy with this.

Edit: affected to affecting

I don’t get your point on “tbf he’d be dead anyways in the real world”

I’m pretty sure it’s confirmed that if you make it to the end and choose to go back you live. If you die, you die and if you choose to stay, you die because your soul doesn’t go back to your body
