Also everyone in the Netherlands snitches on each other (anonymous reporting on you by your neighbors if you’re on state welfare and you do some undeclared work is very common) and everyone is very egocentric and apathetic with regards to other people’s wellbeing and politics. Lastly, the rules are holy and deemed to be unchangeable, even if you’re a politician whose whole job it is to change rules and laws constantly.
As Marx supposedly said, the Netherlands will never have a revolution, because you’re not allowed to walk on the grass. (walking on the grass is actually allowed in nearly all places, but it’s a fun metaphor to highlight how strictly the Dutch follow the rules)
Infrastructure is fantastic and well fare / social security is still quite decent despite decades of austerity, but other than that, fuck my country.
Wasn’t there a theory that every company is turning into a bank, because basically every company is doing loyalty programs, which are basically their own currencies. Think airplane companies, hotel chains, etc. For some only their loyalty program is turning them a profit, and their core business is a loss making part to support the loyalty program.
Do you have a source on that back channel arrangement? First time I hear of it.

I’m a 1.63 (5’3 or 5’4 I think?) amab in the worlds tallest country (the Netherlands) and can confirm it sucks. A lot. Especially for your self confidence and dating life. But you get over that through becoming a well rounded, mentally healthy and interesting person, and therapy if necessary. No way I would try to “fix” it with this nightmare surgery.
