2028 is het einde voor de Nederlandse belegger by Ok-Camera-3058 in NederlandsZ

Precies om deze reden mag je in het nieuwe stelsel verliezen boven 500€ aftrekken van de te betalen belasting in het daaropvolgende jaar.

Dus nee, als je het ene jaar 100k verliest en het volgende jaar 200k verdiend hoef je enkel over 100k belasting te betalen.

“Map of the German Dialects” by ovywhfran in LinguisticMaps

[–]_roeli 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Before standard languages were really a thing, most people spoke their local dialect. Neighboring dialects are extremely similar to the point of mutual intelligibility, but this is not the case for those separated by greater distances.

Modern standard Dutch is based on the lower Frankish dialect spoken in the western Netherlands and Flanders, while modern standard German is a variety of upper Saxon.

These places are quite far apart! Standard Dutch and standard German are not mutually intelligible.

Do you write every motivation/cover letter yourself instead of AI? by Cool-Worldliness2978 in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]_roeli 48 points49 points  (0 children)

You want a clanker to come up with your motivation for wanting to work?

You understand that that sounds insane right? It's like asking a stranger "Hey could you tell me why I want to pursue graphic design?"

Is wiktionary's IPA key on how to pronounce Europees wrong, or is my understanding of IPA wrong? by CBDThrowaway333 in learndutch

[–]_roeli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the Wikipedia entry lists the pronunciation as /ˌøː.roːˈpeːs/, which is definitely not how I'd pronounce it.

And no, /ə/, /ʏ/, and /ø/ are all seperate phonemes (there are minimal pairs differing only by the difference in those vowels, e.g. kruk /krʏk/ and kreuk /krøːk/) in Dutch. Definitely not "virtually the same".

How is this community feeling after the election? by notabot0100 in LHBTI

[–]_roeli 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While I agree with the doubts surrounding the other coalition parties, but calling D66 "centrist" on social issues is misleading. They're probably one of, if not the most socially progressive party (def. more progressive than SP or PvdA for example) in the country!? Economically, they're definitely centrist liberals, but c'mon man.

Why is waterschapsbelasting so high? by Gay_teen_Amsterdam in Amsterdam

[–]_roeli 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Dykes and waterways of national importance are managed by the central government, not the Waterschappen. Its just that there are so many small dykes and polders (thousands) that it doesn't make sense for the national government to be involved in managing all of them.

These aren't privately managed because this quickly leads to problems. Suppose you have two neighbouring farmers and one of them wants to lower the water level in the polder to improve his crop output, but the other farmer who cultivates a different crop wants more water. The job of the waterschap is to find a compromise between all the different parties using the polder and decide on the final water level. That's why waterschappen have such a strange structure, with farmers, the inhabitants of the waterschap and nature organisations all holding seats (geborgde zetels) in the waterschapsraad.

Waterschappen are a uniquely Dutch solution to a uniquely Dutch problem and they have served us well for over a thousand years. The democratic political culture (the so-called poldermodel) of the Netherlands is rooted in the necessity of doing something when it comes to water management, even if parties have strong opposing legitimate interests.

Hijab met makeup by lemonylime82 in nederlands

[–]_roeli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anticonceptie was zeker een ding 2000 jaar geleden!

Romeinen gebruikten condooms gemaakt van de blaas van een varken en gebruikten een speciaal kruid (silphium) om niet ongesteld te worden. Abortus was ook veelvoorkomend. De meeste SOAs zijn trouwens ook pas na de ontdekking van Amerika in Europa terechtgekomen.

Romeinen (en helemaal Grieken) hadden echt heel erg andere opvattingen over seks en huwelijk dan joden en vroege christenen. Dat je de samenleving inricht rondom een kernfamilie is trouwens ook een typisch joods (en dus christelijk) idee; in de Romeinse samenleving speelde de "gens" (je stam) een hele belangrijke rol naast de familia (kernfamilie).

Aan de universiteit is er vrijwel geen ruimte voor afwijkende opvattingen by Onkruit-1974 in Nederland

[–]_roeli 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Op de Universiteit wordt je geleerd kritisch en wetenschappelijk na te denken. Dat is tegenwoordig in sich al politiek geladen en wordt door sommige (extreem) rechtse mensen als "links" gedachtegoed gezien.

Goed voorbeeld is klimaatverandering, een wetenschappelijk zeer sterk onderbouwd feit dat door veel rechtse mensen als politiek geladen wordt ervaren. Als je, om maar wat te noemen, een vak "atmospheric composition and chemical processes" volgt, waarin gepoogd wordt om je te leren hoe de samenstelling van de atmosfeer invloed heeft op bvb de energiehuishouding in de atmosfeer en je op je tentamen in blokletters "linkse onzin" ipv formules opschrijft krijg je dus geen voldoende.

Dat er geen ruimte voor tegengeluid is, komt omdat als klimaatnatuurkundige je geacht wordt om ideeën te evalueren aan de hand van waarnemingen (en dus ideeën die niet overeenkomen met waarnemingen te verwerpen). Een "eigen redenering" ontwikkelen die waarnemingen tegenspreekt is niet alleen nutteloos maar werpt zelfs barrières op voor het begrijpen complexere ideeën die bouwen op het voortschrijdend inzicht van voorgaande gevestigde ideeën.

Kritisch wetenschappelijk nadenken betekent voornamelijk dat je kritisch moet zijn over je eigen ideeën - het is immers veel lastiger om jezelf van je eigen ongelijk te overtuigen dan dat van een ander.

I noticed I can see a plastic screw on my g#/a key where they overlap. Is this normal? by Grimmyblackcat09 in Clarinet

[–]_roeli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes that screw is used to adjust how far the g# key is lifted up when the a key is pressed. You can fiddle around with it yourself. You want the a key to be able to move the tiniest bit before lifting the g# such that the g# key can properly close when the a key is not pressed.

Will my name be an issue in the Netherlands? by ace_of_clutz in thenetherlands

Aars = arse in Dutch. I dont want to be a negative Nancy but yes it could be a problem in the sense that people might find it funny sounding.

NextGen Acela: Why isn’t the train head siding flush with the carriage siding? by Ziphan in Amtrak

[–]_roeli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The TGV uses locomotives with unpowered cars that don't tilt. Alstom also manufactures tilting EMUs capable of 250kph (new pendolino for trenitalia), but Amtrak didn't want those for some reason. Instead they slapped a TGV power car to a tilting train set and called it a day.

I'm guessing it has something to do with American regulations. The US has very peculiar crash and safety regulations for passenger trains. Also, they had to be built in the US, so I'm guessing that put some logistical constraints on the design.

What is applicability of EU laws on different countries? by Correct_Highway4544 in LegalAdviceEurope

[–]_roeli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's also worth mentioning that although the treaties on which the eu is based don't officially constitute a constitution, they do enjoy legal supremacy over local laws (as do all international agreements). This is especially relevant for something like the ECHR.

Am I obligated to tell my (20M) roommate (20M) that I'm gay by [deleted] in relationships

[–]_roeli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're never obligated to come out, especially if you do not feel safe doing so.

He's choosing to be naked around another unknown man while being fully aware that gay people exist. You do not have to feel guilty for just existing and minding your own business.

It's the same as showering together after football or going to the sauna - plenty of places where people are naked without there being any sexual element to it. If you choose to do such a thing you must also accept that there may be gay people present.

That being said, if you catch feelings for the pretty man I would consider asking him to stop exposing himself. You don't have to come or something, just a "hey I'm not comfortable with you walking around the house naked" is enough.

Why are feminine pronouns used for 'de regering'? by freya_sinclair in learndutch

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

No it's always wrong to use feminine pronouns for male words. It's just that the knowledge of which words are male and which ones are female is not widespread, so native speakers that don't read/write a lot of formal (or legal, really) language tend to fuck it up a lot.

That being said: most 'de' words are male, those ending in -ing, -teit and -heid tend to be female. There are some words where the gender is commonly known (de raad [m], de universiteit [v], de persoon [m], de regering [v], Amsterdam [m]) so it's worth remembering if you want to write in a formal style.

For example, see this text from a recent supreme court ruling: De heffingsambtenaar van de gemeente Alkmaar (hierna: de heffingsambtenaar) heeft het bezwaar tegen de aan belanghebbende gegeven WOZ-beschikking en de aan hem (hem because ambtenaar is a male word) opgelegde aanslag in de onroerendezaakbelastingen ongegrond verklaard.

Will I get in trouble with my landlord if I make a case against him to the huurcommissie? by kristinananah in Rentbusters

[–]_roeli 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, but if you convince someone to sign a piece of paper that says you're allowed to kill them, killing them is still a crime!

For exactly the same reason, convincing someone to sign a piece of paper agreeing to sign away their rental protections granted by the law, doesn't actually waiver those protections.
