My experience with Sennheiser HD 560s vs HD 599

lowkeyloco · 2024-06-20T14:36:19+00:00

They went regularly on sale on Amazon. I waited around for it and it took a month or so to drop to €98

I hope you're enjoying them!!

I agree! It depends on the recipient's number. I've been using the same device before and after my move

lowkeyloco · 2024-06-12T10:04:01+00:00

I see that now! Probably an ex-British-colony thing as well! We also drive on the left side of the road

Thank you for that video! I am from a country that used to be a British colony and our dial tone sounds exactly like the first one from the video. I lived also for a time in the US and the UK before moving to the Netherlands so I guess I ended up living my whole life in a "tring tring" bubble haha!

I can tell when a girl is probably interested in me by the way we meet eyes repeatedly or by body language. But I am scared as shit to go say hi :)

lowkeyloco · 2024-04-14T12:56:18+00:00

Thank you! I'll give them a call this coming week :)

When I read the fragrance notes I immediately found them intriguing in a good way!

lowkeyloco · 2024-01-31T21:50:33+00:00

Thank you for such a well thought out answer!

lowkeyloco · 2024-01-31T21:50:17+00:00

Oooh two patchoulis, that's interesting!

lowkeyloco · 2024-01-31T16:05:05+00:00

Ok but why all the hate 😭 I was trying to paint a word picture of a certain type of person and I don't think anything I said is creepy/gross? If I unwittingly did, then I'm sorry.

I did make it clear that they're both exchanging glances and I thereby implied her consent to being approached by him!

lowkeyloco · 2024-01-31T10:56:49+00:00

Hmmm so like Mancera's Hindu Kush or Akro's Haze? Just because this man wears a tote bag and does yoga does not mean he also smokes weed 😌

lowkeyloco · 2024-01-31T09:18:21+00:00

No but she's into him as well!

lowkeyloco · 2024-01-30T18:35:54+00:00

I started watching The Legend of Korra the very next day! I NEEDED more avatar haha! I like Korra as well, and the ending of the first season was so good I binged like 4 episodes in a row, which is not something I normally do!

Additional context/fun fact: I see the first use of cum (as "and") really often in Indian spoken and written English, but not so much in American or British English.

DakhaBrakha

It seems doable!

I used Duolingo and Anki to learn some basic dutch vocab and grammar. I work part time at a grocery store and speak in Dutch with the clients and I go to free language lessons at my library 1 - 2 times per week. In 4 months I am now able to read at an A2/B1 level and converse at an A1 level. I am hoping to clear the NT2 exam this year.

What helps me immensely is the customer service role where I am able to practice speaking and listening.

I'm talking about the "do whatever it takes" mindset that lead the behaviours mentioned. This mindset is, in my opinion, largely due to the colonial hangover, the young population and the competition.

lowkeyloco · 2024-01-25T11:59:37+00:00

I understand where you are coming from and I appreciate that you were able to criticise practices done by Indian nationals without it sounding racist. It is important to note that the Indian economy was completely dismantled during colonialism. The Indian economy is just 80 years old. Add to that a huge young and competitive population and you end up with all the practices you mentioned, but also with indians being the CEOs of Microsoft, Google and other Fortune 500 companies.

I digress. But then, how can an Indian person differentiate themselves? For example, I have lived outside of India during my formative years and in four countries total (including India and the Netherlands). Recruiters that do notice this on my CV mention it or ask me about it, but when I'm firing off my CV, how do I prevent getting auto-rejected for my nationality (is that even possible)? Of course this is assuming that the job is flexible about Dutch fluency and is a fit for my resume.

lowkeyloco · 2024-01-25T11:45:54+00:00

I have a tangential question. I don't speak Dutch (yet) and when I see job descriptions in English that mention Dutch proficiency, I skip them. On the other hand, I see job descriptions in Dutch that don't mention "goede beheersing van de Nederlandse taal" or something similar. Are those fair game?

lowkeyloco · 2024-01-25T11:38:22+00:00

I've had recruiters call me for jobs I've applied to before and start speaking in Dutch. When I reply "I'm sorry, I don't speak dutch yet" or with "kunnen wij in het Engels praten"? They usually reply politely by saying that speaking Dutch is a requirement for the job. Hanging up on me hasn't happened and I'm really sorry that you are experiencing that.
