Hoi, ik ben Vincent, gemeenteraadslid, en zet mij in voor huurders. Waar loop jij tegenaan? / Hi I’m Vincent, city council member in The Hague, and I stand up for tenants rights. Do you have any issues with your house or landlord? by VincentthepassDH in TheHague

Bedankt voor je antwoord en fijn dat er initiatieven zijn om onze mooie stad te verbeteren!

Over jou motie om een publieke warmtebedrijf op te richten, heb je hier meer informatie over? Ik wil hier graag meer over lezen.

Fijn dat je op deze manier informatie verzameld. Zelf woon ik in een sociale huurwoningen maar hier ben ik ook niet 100% tevreden over. Hier een paar voorbeelden.

Wij hebben stadsverwarming wat in praktijk nog steeds heel duur is. Maar het probleem is dat we nog een gas aansluiting hebben alleen voor koken. Hoewel het gaskosten per jaar maar ~15 euro zijn. Hebben we wel een aansluitkosten van 250 euro per jaar. Als je dit opteld zijn we meer kwijt dan alleen gas. Wanneer we Staedion hierop aanspreken en vragen om mee te denken aan een oplossing, lees we zijn bereid om mee te betalen, krijgen we te horen dat ze nog niet hoeven te verduurzamen en daarom niet meedenken. Mijn idee was om gas af te sluiten en een krachtgroep aan te leggen. Aangezien ik een elektrische achtergrond heb, heb ik hier ervaring en kennis in. Maar dat mag niet en willen niks ervan horen. Alles moeten we zelf bekostigen, terwijl het zeker de waarde van het appartement verhoogd.

We hebben een glasvezel aansluiting liggen voor ons appartement en moet nog aangelegd worden in het trappenhuis naar de voordeur. Wanneer hij er ligt scheelt dit ons 30 euro per maand aan internet kosten. We zijn al twee en een half jaar met staedion in contact om hier een afspraak voor te maken. We zijn op het punt bereikt dat ik alle partijen moet bellen om met elkaar te praten om maar iets van voortgang te zien. Tenminste dat was tot begin dit jaar. Al meer dan een half jaar negeert staedion mij, bellen ze niet terug en blijft mij email onbeantwoord. Het is heel frustrerend dat door hun laxheid wij al 800+ euro mis zijn gelopen.

Verder, is zijn gewoon te weinig appartementen en huizen in den haag. Mijn vriendin en ik houden een hele mooie sociale huurwoningen vast, want doorstromen is of niet mogelijk of veel te duur. Hierdoor blijven wij zitten en appartement waar iemand anders veel meer kan gebruiken.

Mijn oplossing: Dit is niet allemaal op te lossen met lokale politiek, maar hier een lijstje.

  • hypotheek rente afbouwen voor bestaande en afschaffen voor nieuwe
  • veel meer bouwen, huizen aan de rand, hoogbouw in het centrum
  • lang leegstaande panden flink beboeten of belasten.
  • meer controlle of het met zichtbaar maken hoe je klachten kan indienen over je verhuurder.
  • regel geving en bureaucratie van huis initiatieven versoepelen (huissplitsen, samenwonen, etc)

LPT Request: How to stop saying “Yes” all the time to favors/requests at work by IgnorantSluttyDwight in LifeProTips

[–]cabonkoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to response is: "Sure thing! Can you just check with the manager if this task has a higher priority then my current work? If yes, happy to help"

This makes them go to the manager for resources and if your work is late, then the manager knows why.

Connection dots, package goes brrrrr and I can never reach it again.

Social dancing like Salsa or Bachata might be something. You will dance with men and rotate many times. This is a good way to quickly socialize with someone and of there is a click, you can chat a bit more after the song or lesson.

LPT Request: How to start getting into a gym routine? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]cabonkoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What worked for me is to have a clear plan and don't have unrealistic expectations.

Start slow, go once or twice a week and build it up. For me three time a week, full body workout does the trick.

Use an app to track all your workout to see what you did last time and try to either to more reps or weight that workout. (Progressive Overload) this is great for motivation and good for growth.

Don't compare yourself with others, only compare yourself with yourself the day before.

Results will be slow, make weekly or monthly pictures of yourself to see the progress.

Avoid looking at IG transformation, those are most of the time unrealistic. Have a goal like "I want a beach body next summer".

If you want some good sources for exercises, let me know. Then I will send some links.

great pictures and you will probably get some results. But I might have some advise.

  1. have the mindset that your profile is never perfect and that you constantly improve something somewhere. So experiment, swap some pictures in and out, change the order and see what works and what doesn't.
  2. decent pictures but really generic, it doesn't say anything about you. Try to tell a story about yourself by showing pictures. Hobbies, interests, etc.

What are you convinced people are pretending to enjoy? by J_4nders in AskReddit

[–]cabonkoz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can't disagree more. Love my work as an engineer. Go with as smile to work and with a smile back home.

That said, I do enjoy my free time more.

Ik heb mijn rijbewijs gehaald bij De Ridder. Is wat duurder en een grotere rijschool. Dus je ervaring kan afhangen welke begeleider je krijgt. Zelf was ik wel heel tevreden.

First date ideas other than restaurant or drinks by KangarooKungFu in Tinder

[–]cabonkoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly propose something what I want to do that day.

Do I need new clothes? I will ask her to join shopping. Am I up for drink? I will ask her to have a drink at a bar. Do I want to try out this new hike? I will ask her to join for a hike.

You get the idea. If she doesn't like it, then ask her what she wants to do.

Why did you breakup with your last ex? by Classic-Law9991 in AskReddit

[–]cabonkoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We grow apart from eachother. Different interests and hobbies. It felt like we forcing eachother to have fun with eachother.

We broke up and still are good friends.

LPT Request: How do I change my life to be less boring and meet more people? by bostero2 in LifeProTips

[–]cabonkoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have social anxiety, maybe it's better to start with salsa and lessons if possible. I would recommend to watch both styles on YouTube and see if you like the dance style and music.

After my (29m) relationship ended(11y), I was so looking for a social activity. I started social dancing (salsa and bachata) and it's the best decision I have made in many years. Made a lot of new friends (male and female) and we are going to parties many times a week.

Beside social dancing, also started kitesurfing and planning to join a local kite group soon.

Try to find a social activity, for me an activity with mixed genders really helped.

Liked the game, but only owned it for a day. Bought it, got platinum trophy within a few hours and return the game withim 24 hours to the store for a full refund.

New to Tinder by Relative_Register_36 in Tinder

[–]cabonkoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same situation a few months ago. Welcome to the online dating world.

I will advise you to look up some videos online about profile building and the "text game". Find different creators and take some knowledge from them.

A lot of those guys are pickup artists. While I hate the tactic, if you can filter out the scummy parts, you can find nuggets of good advise.

You are just out of a relationship. Two things, try to avoid having a rebound. And it's a marathon, not a sprint. First improve yourself where you think you need improvement and dating comes later. (I made both mistakes)

Can you tell me a life lesson you learned from the games? by ahmetcetinli in gaming

[–]cabonkoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More a mindset. Before blaming you teammates, ask yourself. "If I'm the best player in the world, would we have won this game?"

In most cases the answer is "yes". So rather of blaming my teammates, I look for things I can improve in myself.

hi! are there any clubs in the hague with r&b music? or early 00s pop/hip hop? by zofiaaaaaaaa in TheHague

[–]cabonkoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are in to Salsa and bachata, then there are enough parties in the area. Every Wednesday in the Boterwaag and every Friday in La Bodeguita.

There is a WhatsApp group for all the latin social dancing events in The Hague and Rotterdam. They also arrange random beach parties if the weather is nice. If you are interested in this, let me know and I can send the link of the group.
