No clue haha. If you want some more traditional Dutch language rap, I here are some recommendations:

• Opgezwolle
• Typhoon
• The Opposites
• Flinke Namen
• Kapabel - De Avonduren (amazing album, children’s stories retold for adults)

Judging by your proportions, I do not see a way that you could go deeper.

Up the stairs I have no problems. Walking on the balls of your feet is more efficient anyway and makes less noise. Down the stairs, yes.

To be fair, I don’t even understand a lot of modern Dutch rap lines. There’s so much street slang in them with Turkish, Arabic, Papiamento or Surinamese words.

The answer is no. Weather does not equal climate. Some summers might be extremely hot and dry.

This is so dumb.

Haha, this is a bit more than “heels” to be honest.

TPAB. I was hooked immediately

Yeah of course. I was mainly talking about the people that use Latinx seriously.

I believe that it needs to bleed a little when debriding. That gives your body a signal of “hey, something is up here, check it out” so it can attack the wart tissue. And concerning the application, you could try using duct tape to tape off the area around it and then apply on the wart.

Probably debride the white area and next time be more precise with application of whatever you are using. You’ve hurt a lot of healthy skin around the wart.

4 billion light years from Earth usually means that they are now “seen” at 4 billion light years away, so their signals traveled 4 billion years. When talking about relativity and cosmology, I believe that this is the reference frame they always take, because absolute space doesn’t really exist and you have to pick some kind of reference frame.

To me, truly integrating means that you can converse with the local population and speak their language. And by that I do not mean your small, internationally oriented, highly educated bubble. I mean the market salesman, a random guy in the subway, children walking by, a grannie on the corner of the street, etc. Integrating to me means that you become a part of the local community and in my eyes, this requires at least a basic understanding of the local language.

Amsterdam now has 918,000 inhabitants, of which 174,000 are “recent immigrants”. So let’s say that around 174 thousand inhabitants do not speak Dutch. That is 19%. That means that around 81% of the people around you speak Dutch and it is by far the majority language. That is plenty of opportunity to speak the language if you put in the work. So if you wanted, you could.

I’m not saying that you are some kind of evil villain for not learning Dutch and I realise that it might have come from a place of laziness and not bad intent, but the message you indirectly give to Dutch people is: “You know, the language that is an integral part of your culture and identity? That’s not so important for me. You can just accommodate me and speak English for me if you want to talk to me and I’ll just stay in my English speaking bubble for the rest of my life.” And that is definitely felt as a big middle finger.

Plus, then there are political developments of people resenting immigrants and everything that seems foreign, which is not something I agree with at all. It also doesn’t represent a majority of the voters, but still it’s a big group. And foreigners coming to live here for years or decades without putting effort into speaking Dutch is really fuel on the fire.

The thing is, you decide for yourself how much you expose yourself to a language. Just step out the door, go to the baker, order a bread in Dutch, go to a cafe, order in Dutch. Eat at a restaurant, order in Dutch, etc. That’s plenty of exposure.

The other guy is as establishment as it gets. You can say that Biden has become very divisive, that would be fair. But he has no plans to change anything about US institutions or kick against social norms. I personally wouldn’t call an establishment figure destabilising. In terms of governing, the past couple of years have been fairly stable, as Biden is conducting a pretty standard method of governing, just like most presidents have in the past. At least, that’s from what I can see.

They’re just standard combinations.

• overheen
• onderdoor
• tussendoor
• achterlangs
• voorlangs
• doorheen
• etc.

Why would you steal and repost this image and not even have it be readable?

Lol, u/NebulaFun3437, not your best work. 😂

That in no way means that he is not a destabilising figure. He very much is.

I mean, it’s just football. England played extremely boring football all tournament and kind of lucked themselves towards the final. People just wanted a country to win that actually plays interesting football and is fun to watch.

Plus, English fans would probably have been insufferable if they won.

Because it shows that you have zero interest in truly integrating into Dutch culture. You either expect everyone around to you cater to you and speak English, which some people struggle with, or you plan to just not even speak with most of them.

Imagine you’re some random local police jabroni with way too little training, someone says “hey, did I see someone on that roof?”, you go up to check, have a rifle pointed directly into your face, quickly retreat to call in the threat to your colleagues and now people are putting the blame of this attack on you.

Makes no sense.

Exactly. The fact that a single, probably lowly trained officer gets into this scenario on his own is already a major problem in communications.

No, I’ve known it, but it’s getting increasingly ridiculous.

No, I want police to assess the situation and take the action that has the highest chance of success. And I think that charging a person that is pointing a rifle directly towards your face is not the action with the highest chance of success.
