You've clearly never seen "Zwartboek" or "Turks Fruit".

Not bad.

This person clearly hasn't found out about pornhub yet

Does this include Dutch movies?

America's system is a problem.

Stupid discussion. It does not matter whether something is in the box "vegan". Ask yourself why you would or would not eat something. If you don't want to eat(/drink) dairy because of the way the animals that produce the dairy are treated, would you be ok when they are treated differently? Are bees treated in the same way? Does it matter if you treat them in this way? Those should be your questions, not "does it belong in this box?".

35 y/o orange Opel Kadett. Would stall when cornering. Funily enough at the same time also the best car I owned. Fixed it once using the belt from my pants. Belt was on there for years.

A fact of life... when living in America. Third world country that doesn't tell its inhabitants.

Did it work though? Would be fine for an investment if it actually worked...

Welcome to capitalism

Indeed, instead of what they need. It's like only giving sugar to your kid to eat instead of vegetables, because that's what they "want". Oh wait that's actually what happens as well

Het woord "adrenaline" uitspreken.

If only they would not have to hide these things and could therefore learn how to do them safely.

People like to read those stories because it gives them hope it also happens to them. Media print stories that you want to read, that's how they make money.

Other stories people like to read: how to world is going to shit (evolutionairy important to prepare to survive), what someone that's familiar to you did (evolutionary important to be social to work together to survive), stories about how someone else did something stupid (complaining about that toghether gives yoh a sense of belonging) and stories about how a pet cat was retrieved (tickling that instinct to care for others again).

As you can see, media is looking for stories that tickle your most basic insticts and needs, because they know that's what you will be interested in, making you read their stories so they can make more money.

Welcome to capitalism, you are the product.

For me:

• It tells time and is always correct, also during daylight saving season
• It tells the weather forecast, I check it before leaving my house.
• I like that the alarm wakes me up with vibration mode, but not my partner (yes I wear my watch at night, but around my ankle, pro-tip)
• I like to easily read important notifications (I am quite strict in what it does show, so only texts from important people, my calendar and like bank notifications get through). Added benefit is that I don't get distracted with other stuff because I don't open my phone.
• I often lose my phone, my watch is able to find it.
• I use my watch to get simple navigation option when I go running/inline skating in an area I don't know yet. Works better than the phone because I don't have to hold the phone in my hand.
• I set it up so my partner can see where I'm at. When I see a notification from them asking where I am I can easily (and safily) start the tracking without having to pull out my phone.
• It tracks my heartrate, so I can do heartrate based training.

So is it really necessary? No obviously not, I will survive without it, but I do like it a lot and would miss it of it wasn't there. But that's how it is for me, that does not mean it will be the same for you.

You'll be probably be happier with a higher quality watch than with one that barely works. I would not recommend going for an option because it's cheap, instead go for the one that's good enough for you needs.

No need to buy the same one as I did, but I have been very happy with my "not the cheapest, not the most expensive"-garmin watch for years. It is reliable, does what i need it to do and is not so expensive that i am afraid of breaking it for instance. I did need to make choices to be able to get it, i could not spend that money on other things, but that only made me feel better when I got it.

More on topic: it's easy to find accesoires/replacement parts for my watch, it's easier to get it repaired, both at garmin as well as a local shop, the software has a lot of integration option with other software (strava, komoot, etc.) and i can download apps and watch faces other people with the same watch built and i can be sure my alarm goes off in the morning. I don't expect the temu watch to have these things. For me it was worth to pay a bit more. Sidenote: I did get a screen protector for my watch from AliExpress, so apparently I'm not against that 😏

Pretty sure the rural concerns trumped the urban ones in the last elections in the Netherlands.

I just got a Corsa D from 2006 and am so happy the interior is still original. I think it looks great, actual buttons for anything I would need and a tiny 3.5mm jack to hook my bluetooth receiver up to for Spotify. It's perfect IMO.

At leath with Whatsapp you can be sure your data is used to influence your opinions.

My partner introduced me to the Dutch "112" app (112 is the emergency telephone number in Europe).

I hope I never need it of course, but if I do it automatically shares my location and it allows me to chat instead of call if I would be in a situation that requires that.

Also, I really enjoy Jepster as my biking computer when cycling. The guy that built it is also very approachable when you find a problem, which is great.

And when you're planning to get kids have a look at "Kinder"...

Italians die regardless. If it tastes good, go your gang, live a little. I put mayonaise on my frozen pineapple/ham pizza. Best hangover breakfast ever.
