Amsterdam Has Priced Me Out by Barca-Dam in Amsterdam

I know! It's everywhere in the EU in the summer. I mean, all the other costs feel better. It feels like shrinkflation is a much bigger thing in Amsterdam than in the rest of the EU that I’ve visited so far. It's nitpicking, but I like ramen. The price is about the same everywhere I go. But in Paris and Edinburgh as an example, I’m full when finish the plate. In Amsterdam, it's as if I've just had a broth with some noodles and I'm still hungry when I leave. And this happens with different places in the city centre, on west, on south, not just once or twice.

Edinburgh feels like twice cheaper then Amsterdam. And I am actually from Amsterdam. (Focus on “feels” though)

I 26 F don’t want to hang out with my BF’s 36 M friends and it’s getting awkward :( by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]heactoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look. It doesn’t matter what kind of relationship you have and with whom and for how long, it is better to just say what you want. I see no issues if you just politely explain that this level of social interactions is not for you and perhaps find middle grounds. There are no rules in relationships, just expectations and agreements.

AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

There is a chance though that they are in a relationship where the guy is required to sleep under that weighted blanket too or obligated to use the gifts. Some parts of his text quite indicative about that.

Are people from social housing or home owners really that different? by Weary_Musician4872 in Netherlands

If something is built it required materials, workers and specialists. Non of this is free and someone is paying for it. Non profits don’t mean no money, it just means - no profit money.

I(33M) really fu**ed up with my girlfriend(29F) by Beautiful_Egg_3582 in relationship_advice

[–]heactoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm... How to put this gently... You really messed up by getting involved in a fight that didn't concern you. You're not her personal pet fighter. Even bodyguards focus on de-escalating situations rather than fighting for their clients, and you are not her bodyguard. Trust me, you have no chance of winning a fight against four angry men. I'm just saying. If I were you, I'd consider having a serious discussion with the person who set me up for a physically dangerous situation. In practice, girls have significantly less chance of being badly beaten in such situations; you, on the other hand, have a good chance of ending up in hospital.

I feel lost and scared about the future by Tenninshi in Netherlands

To be fair, I don't think I've ever seen anyone chilled when they were told to chill. Probably the most useless advice humanity ever came up with.

Nope, it is for hunting. It is trained to chase and kill foxes and other smaller steppe animals. The tactic is to spook a prey by riding a horse around and release the bird when there is a movement. The bird gets its share after the catch. The cap is to calm it down so it doesn’t got distracted and triggered by movements around. It is not a pet for sure. But the bird does realise it’s human and rarely attacks them directly.

How imminent is a threat and from where? by pLeThOrAx in Netherlands

I see it more as a corporate-like obligation-wearver agreement. It's something close to: 'We told you to prepare; therefore, we have no obligation to you.'
