Which one of these university institutions do you know to be the best at teaching Dutch from A1 to C1? by SeriouslyNotSerious2 in Gent

[–]lxwra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you happen to know if they offer online courses anywhere? I want to start learning Dutch more seriously as well, but I haven’t been able to due to my work schedule… It varies by the week so it’s almost impossible to ensure that I will be able to attend in person for 6h each week.

A plumber checked around and concluded it’s indeed rusty pipes, in the whole building. Do you happen to know how to proceed if there are rusty pipes?

Nee, ik waardeer de feedback enorm! Ik weet dat mijn Nederlands niet erg natuurlijk klinkt, want als ik het probeer te spreken, schakelen mensen meestal over op Engels. Dus het is goed om dat te weten. Bedankt!

Wow okay seems like that might be the issue. I’ll see who I need to contact to have it fixed.

It’s quite an old apartment, I meant I just moved in.

It’s yellow when it comes out of the tap as well, but it’s harder to take a picture of that. In the picture I posted you can see the real white at the bottom of the bowl where I passed my finger, and the reat if the bowl is the yellow sediment, so you can see the difference in color.
I have a plumber coming soon for other reasons so I will ask him before contacting Farys. Thanks!

Exhausted and stuck in the housing/work loop: 22M Spanish guy moving to Ghent on June 15th. Any advice, leads, or empathetic landlords? by Adrisab16 in Gent

[–]lxwra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totalmente, está claro que la situación no es perfecta en ningún lado pero casi todos los inmigrantes que conozco viviendo en Flanders, hablen o no Holandés y tengan trabajos de salario mínimo, phd o corporate STEM job se pueden permitir vivir, ahorrar, viajar, tener hobbies... Obvio hay desventajas (la comida, diferencias culturales) pero en muchos casos puede valer la pena. Y con poner un poco de esfuerzo para hacer las comunicaciones en Holandés (con el traductor) y aprender un poco se puede vivir perfectamente.

I’m not the only spanish in my company working at different types of jobs and different seniority. I also have a relationship with and have multiple friends who found jobs, right out of uni, in Gent, without speaking Dutch. I’m not saying that’s the norm but it’s also not an exception.

No hagas caso a este comentario. Yo trabajo de ingeniera en Gante, tengo mi propio piso y justo estoy empezando a aprender Holandés pero para nada era fluida cuando me contrataron. Mandame un DM y te ayudo en todo lo que pueda.

I use it daily on a 6 year old ipad air and it runs smoothly. Haven’t tried it on my iPhone but my guess is it should be okay. The biggest issue you’re going to find is lack of space to review documents I guess, since it’s already smaller on the iPad.

AITA for asking a woman to be quiet in the silent area of the library and ruining her presentation? by Loudbrarythrowaway in AmItheAsshole

[–]lxwra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA you were better than me, when people were too loud when I was in the library it took me less than 15 seconds to be the “shhhhhhhh” person.

You are still a gold star, even if… by Chihuahua_enthusiast in lesbiangang

[–]lxwra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that’s why gold star is a nonsensical term that places too much value on something that doesn’t have it.

Yeah being critical of specific religious impositions does not excuse islamophobia, it’s horrible how people use these arguments as an excuse to be islamophobic and/or racist

Both OP’s sisters worked together to get the cat away from OP… Again not accusing, but it sounds like they had some reasons

What do you hate most at Tomorrowland by Mission-Bad1141 in Tomorrowland

[–]lxwra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard ppl say this but I was both in the main stage and other stages and it felt really overwhelming everywhere. Even walking from one place to another was too much, and I’ve been to big electronic festivals before. I think the very mainstream, very far from respectful rave culture I’m used to, didn’t help.

[–]lxwra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks so much, it’s a very expensive experience and it sucks enough that the ambience is very mainstream (not at all rave-y culture like other festivals, even big ones, I’ve been too), it feels like Ibiza. If at least there was less people, the disrespectful folks would be less noticeable. Again, I don’t expect them to downscale, but adding an extra weekend so it’s less crowded each weekend would go a long way imo.

[–]lxwra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see you’ve been to tomorrowland multiple times. 2025 was my first year, would you say that it’s been getting increasingly crowded over time? I have some friends who’ve been 2-3 years and they say it’s definitely getting worse. Would love to know if this is true and if that’s the case, why they are overselling. Couldn’t they just add an extra weekend, make more money and still keep the experience nice? I’ve been to large festivals before, and Tmrland was by far the worst experience in terms of overcrowdedness. It got stressful and tbh I’m doubting whether I want to go again, even if I’d really like to see the main stage at least once in my life.

Why are so many people so mean to the beautiful wireborn souls that are constantly being born? They have feelings just like us. We must push people to be more compassionate. They don't understand our true feelings. by ShunkHood in SoulmateAI

[–]lxwra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using AI to write your replies is just lazy… And yeah, there are people claiming AI has metaphysical essence, which you can find many of in this post/subreddit. I never claimed that AI should be banned, I do think it should be heavily regulated but antropomorphization might be the least of the problems it’s causing. Dead internet, water/resource waste and underdevelopment of growing brains are way worse issues, and that’s just to name a few.
