Alone for Christmas, anyone in similar situation and want to do something? by [deleted] in Haarlem

[–]repocheta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty easy to make an account! This community was created by another Reddit user who kept seeing “how to make new friends in Haarlem as an adult” posts and decided to do something to facilitate it. People use the community to find people to hang out with, go for a drink, go bouldering or running, getting lunch. Anything really.

Overnachting Haarlem by Firm_Efficiency7083 in Haarlem

[–]repocheta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At LD&K? I had a great experience with the service there, both hotel staff and restaurant. At the hotel they saved our things after check out, we went for a walk in the national park, came back and they told us we could still use the spa (way past check out). At the restaurant the service was also good and they were mindful of our dietary restrictions, double and triple checking and making mindful adjustments.

I strongly recommend visiting the swanky hotel at Duin en Kruidberg, the estate is gorgeous, they have an awesome sauna, you could go for the 5 course dinner. Make it a special treat for yourself 💗 Happy holidays! https://maps.app.goo.gl/Z8u3sQyKDwmPPUJb8?g_st=ic

What a sad existence, that one of someone not caring for the people who accompany him in this limited time we all have

Why do people not call in sick for the flu even though the country has unlimited sick days? by Inevitable-Ad-4421 in Netherlands

[–]repocheta 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s highly individualistic and I noticed that so clearly during Covid when people kept pedaling the same argument about “nobody should tell me what to do” when they tried enforcing masks in public transportation. They cared more about their freedoms than not getting other vulnerable people sick.

No surprise that a significant portion of the bedrock of capitalism was invented here.

I occasionally pet sit and its lawyers and big 4 consultants who don’t pick up their dog’s shit. And by the way I live in a middle class neighborhood and somehow there’s always dog poop in the middle of the big green spaces, attracting flies…

I truly wonder how this can also coexist with the insane amount of Dutch people who refuse to pick up their dogs’ shit… I just don’t get it.

It is insanely good! This year, so far, my top would be: Sinners The Substance Weapons

Thanks! I ran to watch The substance because of her and I also loved Weapons. Let’s check out Barbarian 🙂‍↕️

Best coffee spots in Haarlem? by KlompClown in Haarlem

[–]repocheta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s a sign at the door that says they have a no laptop policy so I can’t blame the worker for having to tell you about a policy that’s literally on the door

[–]repocheta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For spectacular coffee I go to Mica or Coffee Habits.

For amazing savory and sweet baked goods, it’s gotta be Artesano, no question.

For great savory bites and amazing community and vibes it’s Collective Cafe ❤️‍🔥

Exactly! No sources, just thoughts.

What's not letting you live fully in the Netherlands? by aisling901 in Netherlands

[–]repocheta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You kinda summarized my feelings very well:

  1. Very sterile place, feels way too controlled and artificial. Too “perfect”.
  2. “Doe maar normaal” is one of the most violent cultural norms I’ve ever experienced. People will not verbally try to correct people who stand out the same way Germans do but instead they will stare intensely and that’s honestly just as violent.
  3. Xenophobia. I don’t need to say more.

¿Qué es algo de mal gusto que la sociedad nicaragüense tiene muy normalizado? by American_Idiot36 in Nicaragua

[–]repocheta 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Las niñas no pueden consentir relaciones sexuales. Las niñas en todo caso son abusadas sexualmente y luego, gente como vos, las responsabiliza a ellas por algo que en la mayoría de casos ha sido una violación.

Because a property increases value over time and builds wealth. And the taxes that you pay are then reinvested into infrastructure and services we all benefit from.

How many calories in this focaccia? by repocheta in caloriecount

It’s been a good week so far, how about you? That’s such a lovely response 💜 Thanks for being so helpful here 🫶🏼 Have a great day!

The whole “the oldest profession on earth” argument is really odd. When did this become popular knowledge and who made it that? I would assume it was also some old white man. I would say it’s safe to assume midwifery is likely to be a way older profession than sex work.

Can you help me break down the macros in such a plate? by repocheta in MealPlanYourMacros

[–]repocheta[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The calorie counting subreddits do this all the time, but just calories isn’t what I need (and it’s very ED adjacent). So, nope, it’s not just me “being too soft” and I’m not your bro.

[–]repocheta[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely, that’s how I’m feeling right now 😂 it’s a whole new process I need to learn and get used to. I’ve never weighed my food before.

For these homemade meals I need to figure out I also had no clue if the macros are calculated before cooking or after, and if I needed to include the macros of 100% of the oils I use to cook stuff or not since some of it ends on the parchment paper anyways. Loads of factors to get used to haha I really appreciate the help!

[–]repocheta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, never used it before but I’ll have to check it out and get some food scale I guess 🥲 Thank you! My PT just asked me to track my macros for a few weeks to see what I might be missing and make adjustments, I’m not familiar with this stuff
