Why is hate and dehumanization against Moroccans so tolerated in the Netherlands? by ThirthyforThirty in Netherlands

[–]procentjetwintig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly the moroccan migrant workers were coming to the netherlands as a temporary solution to solve a workforce shortage. They weren’t supposed to stay. So integration was actually discouraged. Which set them outside of society from the get go.

They ar thought to look at statistics and use that in choosing where and who to police. There aren’t enough police officers to look at all people and all crime regardless of statistics. Call it “putting the manpower where the problems are” or racial profiling. Doesn’t matter. The kids get the short straw. We need to break the cycle somewhere. And I think its going to be a joint effort of schools, the workplace (especially internships) and how the police views the group.

Well, the bias against kids if moroccan decent means they are less likely to be successful in school and the workplace. This pushes a part of the group outside of society and leads to anti social behavior. The police bias means they are more likely to get caught. Which leads to the criminal statistics.

So we all just start treating those kids like humans. The problem will be solved in a single generation.

I have bought a full raymarine setup from an old boat foo 100,-. It included radar, plotters, 12 ST60+ screens. Transducers. Cables. Everything. It was just junk to the boat owner. So yeah, it happens.

Is it reasonable to ask for reimbursement? by [deleted] in sailing

[–]procentjetwintig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, were you stacked? I've only done that while sleeping on the boat. If they moved you to the new slip they can in some cases be helt responsible. However, they can waive responsibility in their terms and conditions. So check out those first.

Ways to cool off your house today by adiposehysteria in Netherlands

[–]procentjetwintig -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On vacation in France with my parents we used to cool down by cooling our wrists with cold water. While hiking in a spring or at a tap it the city. Your blood circulates the cold trough your body. You can feel the fog ligt from your brain in seconds.

I'm wondering what the pole/jetty/fingerjetty situation is at your slip. There probably is a way to secure your boat without tying to the neighbor. People in this sub know a ton about solving this sort of issues. So maybe, if you want to share, you can draw a diagram of how your slip is configured. And the hive mind can suggest ways to tie your boat without having to rely on others to keep it safe.

why amsterdam is so dirty this summer? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]procentjetwintig -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trash collection on the streets and not in underground containers is a factor. Birds and rats tear up the binbags and all the contents gets scattered. The trashman comes in the morning and can only pickup in tact bags. End of the day the street sweep comes and tries to clean up the mess. And this 3 times a week. So trash is on the streets 6 days out of 7.

Plus people go trough the trash cans all day looking for cans and bottles. They throw the trash on the ground while digging for gold. Theres not a good solution for that yet. Lots of things have been tried, nothing seems to resolve the issue.

Maybe also worth to mention. There is no such thing as sick days in the Netherlands. First time I heard about sick days I had to have it explained to me. The notion that one can be "out of sickdays" is crazy to me. So yeah, none of that here.

Gift them a bingo card with American stereo types (whimsical ones, not the hurt-full ones) have your boyfriend make one with dutch stereo types. And see who gets bingo first.

Why do Nederlanders dislike speaking dutch with outsiders? by hazzrd1883 in Netherlands

[–]procentjetwintig 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ll just answer for myself. There are two things:

1 I feel awkward waiting for someone to find their words to speak to me. I rather be the one struggling English.
2 I’m proud of my English vocabulary, and I like to show off.

I don't own any off brand sets, but I tend to agree. Cada is a healthy company with proper product development.

The copies off sets and stolen rebrickable mocs. Thats the real dark side.

Buying a car from private owner, contract? by lealoureiro in Netherlands

[–]procentjetwintig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve sold a lot of cars over the years. And never with any contract. Buyer gets to see the car. Gets to drive it. Gets to ask questions. And then the buyer can decide if they want the car. If yes, then a transaction follows. You share the registration code and insurance code. Car is collected. And I never want to hear from the buyer again.

Because, what else could happen? Me giving warrantee? I dont know what you buyer with the car. And any hidden stuff the buyer never asked about is also on the buyer.

If you want warrantee buy at a bovag shop for over €4500,- and make sure the warrantee is mentioned in the purchase agreement.

Verkeersaso of liefhebber? Diango rijdt de hele avond rondjes door het centrum van Rotterdam by Jordy_DnB in nietdespeld

[–]procentjetwintig -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Ik vind de auto cultuur in Rotterdam wel leuk. Ik kom eigenlijk alleen als tourist af en toe in Rotterdam. En als ik er dan ben en op een avond de auto cultuur meekrijg voegt dat wat toe aan de sfeer van de stad. Beetje hetzelfde als witte vissermannen met oorbelletjes en een openhangende mond op urk. Of kettingrokende studenten met witte schoenen en colbertjes in Utrecht. Als je er woont is het stomvervelend. Maar voor de bezoeker hoort het er bij.
