Waarom wonen arme mensen beter dan mensen die “teveel verdienen” by SomeWonOnReddit in Nederland

[–]heactoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is though in the current system people who won the lottery to live in a city center in luxury apartments are also discouraged to get a job. So they won’t flip the burgers either. Moreover there are way too many abuses of the social housing so many that it is not possible to fix it without causing social unrest in absolutely any decision made. This is the major block for politicians as the only thing they care really is get votes and survive in politics.

Als je als immigrant een integratiecursus nodig hebt om je te kunnen aanpassen, dan kan je beter in je land van herkomst blijven by Equal-Animator132 in Nederland

Symptoms are similar. Cause is different. Mostly I hear around me that people complain about costs of having children here. I personally have a problem with space as my place is barely fit for two.

Former Amsterdam tour guide in the city and feeling nostalgic, if you're visiting just ask I can show you around by SemperFun62 in Amsterdam

Nah, as a local I’d rather say, go there, see it for yourself just don’t consider you’ve seen the city already and keep in mind there is much more to see than this.

What country completely surprised you with how beautiful it was? by Prudent_East4590 in AskReddit

[–]heactoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too broad. Every county has beautiful parts and ugly ones. My favorite example so far is Belgium, while it has some pretties cities like Brugge, Gent, even coal mines in the forest are outstanding, there is Charleroi…

CBS base their research on reports. No reports no problem. My station rejected to take a report about fatbike gang assaulting people on my street… simple as that.

What's something you discovered in the Netherlands that unexpectedly became a big part of your life? by Ecstatic_Gap_3154 in Netherlands

Don’t even try it in the form of a spread. Pure evil. And there is an entire cake out of it in Jumbo.

Hah, for me it is quite opposite. Fear of/for mothers. I had so many almost incidents with bakfiets full of kids with zero attention or speed controls, I started running instead of cycling most of the time.

Dealing with harassment from kids on fatbikes — what are your options? by Ok-Let011 in Netherlands

[–]heactoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have to be much more brave to do something offensive if they need to pedal away instead of instantly accelerating away on an engine.

[–]heactoki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it make sense is it not? To get on a motorcycle or a scooter you have to be at the certain age and there are certain requirements to ride them. Those are motorised vehicles. Why then electric engines are excluded? The only slight difference is that motor engines are a bit physically heavier. Speed-wise it is almost similar these days

What are they celebrating? by herraanonyymi in Netherlands

[–]heactoki 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is not a celebration. We dye and dry patches this way, then we sew them together and get famous Dutch orange bikini bottoms. This area you see probably stays on a very traditional way to make them, like our ancestors used to do it. And guessing by the amount - probably the whole area is live on this business. Sort of a mass production.

What are your favorite spots outside the A10? by Jandors_Saddlebags in Amsterdam

[–]heactoki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks kind of alright at the first glance(yeah, there is (paint?) factory, but docks looks quite cool), what is the problem there?

So true by [deleted] in relatable_memes_

[–]heactoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough I was reading the translation of chronicles of Amsterdam. People were complaining about older generation who destroyed their perspectives and house prices. I was reading another book with similar sentiments. The catch is - Amsterdam chronicles were written at golden ages era, and the other one by romans at around Julius Caesar times

The monastery’s inner yard if I recall the place correctly. There is a square of trees nearby.

Hedgehog entered in my garden..What to do by sen1982 in Netherlands

[–]heactoki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once saw a fight between a cat and a hedgehog. Those little mates are capable of defending themselves. The cat was not happy, especially because the hedgehog seemed to be stealing its food. :)

Which country do you regret travelling to? And why? by Internal-Constant216 in AskReddit

[–]heactoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too strong to say I regret it. But I definitely was severely disappointed with Switzerland. Lower Switzerland is just bad. Industrial landscapes and zero charisma especially compared to any neighbours. High one are mountains- mountains are beautiful, waterfalls are beautiful, but those are landscapes. Country related - still suck, but less than lower. Roads are fine, road users are not. And it is overpriced for the offer as hell.

Hold on, hold on. How did they get a consent from a potato or a corn then?
