  • Honestly I quite like it here. It’s obviously not perfect but when I compare it to other countries we do rather well.

    Honestly my biggest complaint is that it’s so full. I recently visited Norway and the vast forests and just untamed nature is gorgeous and the air quality is great. But then again nothing is really far away in the Netherlands so ups and downs.





  • Honestly I’m engaging more on lemmy in comments but if you manage to create a nice list of fun subs to follow on reddit a lot of complaints about bots and stuff are less problematic. Then again I also follow some Dutch subs and they seem to have less bots with the language barrier and all.

    Lemmy does seem to be more negative though. A lot of doom and gloom here. I’m not really into Linux but I’ll admit that windows and Microsoft ain’t great. However the amount of complaining about how shit Microsoft is on stead of being enthusiastic about Linux baffles me. And you see these things in other communities too. The reddit helldivers community seems to be a bunch of memes and the lemmy oke a bunch of complaints.

    Then again my comments seem to actually reach people on Lemmy so I am more active here.


  • My dad found a OG gameboy in a train when I was a kid so when I actually played tetris lol. Close my eyes and see the bricks fall. (which is what the tetris effect is.)

    Then I had it with Mario Kart, close my eyes and see the track move.

    And the weirdest thing is when I finally got properly used to vr and played 3 hours of half-life: Alyx straight. I had to physically touch a wall to convince a part of my mind that this was real life, and not vr.











  • You are correct as far as I can recall what has been told to me by my friend who shoots for sport. Besides that I’d like to add that you can’t hunt wildlife unless it’s your job. And it’s only for population control of various wildlife.

    Also gun owners need to keep their guns and ammo in two different safes. The police can check if you’re complying to that anytime.

    To get a permit they will do a background check on you. My friend got questions about him looking up 3d models of guns online. But he was only looking for fantasy weapon replicas for cosplay reasons.

    Furthermore, bullets are as illegal without a gun permit as the guns themselves.

    You can only take your gun with you when you are on your way to a range or back home from a range. And not within easy reach.

    Owning airsoft weapons requires a club membership to the national airsoft league.

    Lastly it’s national news anytime a police officer fires their gun. It’s that rare.
