that's still very cool I know very few who's 1st language isn't Dutch that can understand the language :p
|
It's nice to meet someone else who can speak German haha, I don't meet many people online who can tbh ^^
Dutch gibberish is only gibberish if it's gibberish, else it's not gibberish. You know? |
Yeah I remember the Dutch claim German is gibberish, while the Germans claim Dutch is gibberish.
|
everything not Dutch is gibberish :mfw:
|
Pretty sure it's the other way around
|
Definitely the other way around :thonk:
|
wow bullies :dansad:
|
So everything Dutch is gibberish :thonk:
|
A Dutch friend of mine says that Flemish is like old fashioned sounding Dutch. Like how she expected her grandparents to speak back in their younger days or something like that.
Also add me to the 'never learnt to ride a bike club'. It's moved very far up the list though since I'm going to be spending most of my time outside November onward. |
I learned how to ride a bike then didn't for like a decade. Took me about a day to relearn how to ride a bike. It's true what they say about never forgetting.
|
I would never ride a bike around these parts because a) I don't trust myself to and b) I most definitely don't trust a lot of the drivers here lol
|
Riding a bike is mandatory here... If you don't do it they'll throw you out the country into a Belgian Supermarket
|
A lot of the people who ride bikes still take the bus anyway because for whatever reason things are that spread out here. 🙃
|
I wish I lived in a city where you wouldn't need a car to get around from place to place, really.
|
I wouldn't mind doing more bike riding but there's to many asshole drivers around and not enough sidewalks to ride on.
|
I've been so spoiled with transport living in a city with a very extensive (and very affordable) metro system that connects to two high speed railways stations and another normal long distance railway station plus the airport which is a big international one. When/if I settle down which, if I choose to live in a city, I will settle for nothing less again!
|
Heh I only recently ever rode with a metro, most my life was normal train travel or bus travel so it was a fun new experience ^^
|
I've never been on a train before tbh.
... never really needed to. The train here is more if you're going to a different county altogether, so there was never really a need for me to travel that far. |
I haven't either. There aren't trains around my region anyway, but it's something I'd like to experience someday.
|
I'd like to experience getting on a plane at some point, too! Truth be told a part of me will always be afraid of flying because of heights reasons, but I've always wanted to travel around so I feel like I have to deal with it sooner or later. ._.

Yeah I talked about it with other people before, when I need to go to another country I usually take the train. Because comfy and stations everywhere, but was already thinking about where my first plane travel should go to. Due to family it may be Tokyo-Narita airport in 2020 or 2021 ^^
|
Aisle seat is really the only viable option when flying because sitting in the middle seat is awful because then whenever you have to use the restroom you have to scoot past whoever is in the aisle seat and back and ughhhhhhhh. And then if they're larger (I mean genuinely no offense to big people but this is an issue given how cramped seats are) it's even more embarrassing to keep doing this, so honestly if I'm ever flying I'm only sticking with aisle seats.
|
Quote:
I do agree about aisle seat in general though, and when others need to go to the toilet it's a good excuse to stand up for a while to have a stretch. Something I always do too is wait to be one of the last people to board so I don't have to sit for ages on the plane when everyone is up and down and up and down again. |

I did that last time in my flight from Stockholm to Madrid and the cabin got full of hand lugagge so I had to hand mine over to be put into the cargo, which meant waiting the usual 35 minutes for it to come out later after arriving. So waiting is not a guaranteed win, either.
|
I only had a backpack during my flight so I could just stuff it under the chair in front of me
|
I flew for the first time in my life earlier this year and the one thing I do actually regret is not having my Switch out on me while on the plane. That, and I didn't have any music on my phone at the time. :why:
|
flying terrifies me, I've been on planes over 20 total times now and it doesn't get better
thanks anxiety/brain chemical imbalance |
the only thing that terrifies me when flying is missing the connection so you're royally screwed
why does this always happen to me |
being in a car would terrify me more than being in a plane
see, i dont trust myself behind the wheel but at least there are experienced people with thousands of flight hours in the cockpit of a plane |
I get very car sick whereas I don't get air sick as much so I'd take a plane over a car any day.
|
hewwo everyone how are our thursdays going
|
Quote:
meanwhile with the airplane it's all a-ok... |
ty how did your interview go?
our seats for our flight on sat are going to be random, but i hope i get an aisle seat lmao |
it went pretty smooth, though dunno yet if i get the job, might hear more about that next week
and in that very same week i got another job interview |
hope things work out for you ty!
hello yes hi i am testing something bc tyler asked me to |
Oh job interview? :0 I hope it all goes well, I dread job interviews had to do a mock one for an internship when I was like 16 ^^; I pretty much just winged it.
|
Thank you thank you thank you all
im scared |
I hope you get the job, TY!!
ngl speaking of job interviews I feel like I'm so used to them at this point (because... I've had a lot of jobs over the years + interviewed for more) that my anxiety when it comes to them is pretty much almost zero. except for when the recruiters pop the whole "tell me about a time when..." questions. .__. |
Oh by this point I feel like I can do them too, here we are consistently told the problem is not being better than anyone else, because my country wants a new generation of trained workers so you do get a job easily here if you try, they just want to sort out the uninterested from the interested in the job ^^ so with this mindset job interviews became easier for me
|
Im very used to them aswell to the point I blabber more than I did when I first applied for jobs where I was just scared shitless
|
That's good, then the interviews should just go fine c:
|
they do go fine, im just afraid it will be another case of "we're going through with someone else" which necked me almost every single time T_T
|
"let me tell you about a time I got whacked by a shovel" - TY
|
Now this is a story all about how
my life got flipped and turned upside down and id like to take a minute just sit down there i'll tell you all about my shovel issues everywhere |
I have many weird tales, but they are all neatly locked away in my mind vault :p
|
i tried locking them but like my bases in Terraria, they always blow up
|
That's bad on your part then, make it more secure :p
|
what do you mean its a fortress i cant help it my mad tales have the firepower of an worldwide army
|
Tsk, you are truly confident in the ability of your mad tales it seems. Well then just built the strongest fortress known to man.
|
but my mad tales are amazing
|
keep in mind ty builds his houses with tnt for ~aesthetic~
and then complains when they get blown up |
Blatant lies I bet Jake told u that
|
so did you
|
as an aside from this topic, there's no stranger feeling than waking up from a nap and it being nighttime
just wanted to share |

I hope everyone is well. I'm trying to get myself excited for seeing The Lion King remake tomorrow night but in all honesty I have a feeling it's going to be dreadful. |
I don't know, personally I think it looks pretty good, it's one of the few live actions movies I think look promising compared to the original. And after actually liking Aladdin, which I thought would be horribly awful, I'm in to watch this one.

I hope you get the job ty!!!! u deserve
I'm still sick. ;_; Want to go eat lunch since I had a very small breakfast but don't want to sit next to people at the cafeteria (we're at a hotel atm for a trip) because I'm too unwell, and don't want to order service directly to my room because it's not free (vs. the free food if I were to go out). kinda stressful day in general, it stinks to get sick when you're out enjoying new sights I hope Lion King's live action adaptation will be good, really really don't want it to be a letdown :< |
not to like brag but thank goodness I get sick maybe like once a year if even that
maybe I just don't go outside enough to get sick or hang around other people enough, but still |
lucky duck I get sick often enough it seems, it sucks
|
im thankful because whenever i do get sick it hits me HARD like my throat would clog up and it's hard to breathe or drink liquids or even eat for that matter and ughhhhh
|
when i get sick it gets really bad but its very rare
|
I get sick every now and then, had a sickness once that had me out for like 4-5 weeks was bad times.
|
thats your weird tales wanting to break free :v
|
Other than getting the yearly cold I seem to get every winter I think the last time I was ungodly sick was when I was a kid.

Man of science? What are your credentials?
|
i have a PhD in science
|
Quote:
|
Ye I just don't want to study for my final. Chemistry is so boring for me.
|
Chemistry was fun....not
although what's interesting is that when I was in high school chemistry, I used to be scared of lighting bunsen burners, but in college chemistry I was more than comfortable. It's weird how a fear of fire can just go away like that |
I didn't have anything chemistry or physics related since secondary school, which I am a bit sad about but eh, pursuing other fields of education and chemistry is not really needed.
|
As soon as I got the chance I ditched Biology and chemistry in favor of Economics and maths
Best Choice Ever |
Ew maths, I never got behind maths but economics was always fun.
|
Maths was way too easy for me so it would be a silly choice not to go through with maths
I know what the numbers mean |
I'll take Geometry and that's about it.
|
Geometry was also never mine, I always was good with languages though
|
The only math class that I liked past algebra was statistics lmao
|
Don't talk shit about maths like that please
|
I hated it all other than Geometry. Took me 3 years to pass Algebra.
|
My geometry teacher was the absolute worst so I can't say the same lol
|
I've never really cared much for math. I've been ok at it, but not great. This is likely due to the fact that my math teachers throughout grade school were pretty hit and miss (mostly miss), so whenever I got a math teacher that didn't do a great job at teaching the subject matter, I would just doze off and not pay attention and barely put in the effort to do the work. The math teachers that cared and had passion for what they were doing, on the other hand, I was far more invested in.
As a whole though, I just don't like dealing with math all that much if given the option. ._. |
Quote:
|
I think the only math teacher I really disliked was my Pre-Calculus teacher in my senior year of high school. Something about her teaching style me and several of her students didn't like. The only other Pre-Calculus teacher we have teaches it 0 period, which is basically before regular school hours oof.
|
I don't remember any teachers oof
|
my sixth grade math teacher was awful and i hope to not have another person like him ever
|
lol Yeah pretty much all of my math teachers were awful. There must've be one or two that were at least decent.
|
as a matter of fact i barely remember any teacher I had before my IT course
|
It's weird when I really sucked in math, (7th grade of secondary school) is when I had my best math teacher. My music class teacher was also always awesome really liked learning with her ^^ Otherwise we had some cool teachers here and there
|
I do remember going from maths to basic calculating which to me felt like a downgrade even though I took higher education
teacher made a big fuzz about the exam and I sat there like "im finishing this in 5 mins and ill ace it too while im at it which is exactly what I did and everyone else took 2 hours over it |
math is one of my worst subjects lol, no matter how hard I try I just can't seem to be good at it @[email protected] will just stick to the arts than science/maths
|
I don't have many classes I hated, but I had some I absolutely loved like English, History, and Economics because either they were fun or interesting, or even both! So I always loved doing them, so don't have many bad stories about classes or teachers
|
I hated art classes, ended up with a 1/10 average cause of being forced to draw things I despised
|
But everyone loves a suffering artist! I had art classes too, always average grades
|
that wasnt suffering that was pure torture
if i didnt knew any better back then I'd have crusaded against schools too! |
