Been poking around All recently and I’ve noticed that there is more lemmy activity in Dutch than any other non-English language. German following that, and then Portuguese (I think, maybe Spanish). I see more Nederlander posts than even the UK instances. So what’s up with this? Cheers from Canada 😙
Hi! Ik vind het heel leuk dat je dit initiatief neemt. Een tip van iemand waarvan de examens inmiddels al een hele lange tijd geleden zijn: als je merkt dat je alles lijkt te zijn vergeten, weet dan dat de kennis nog steeds in je hoofd zit. Je kan er alleen op dat moment even niet bij. Stop met het kijken naar je opgave en pak een punt voorbij je tafel om naar te kijken. Zet je beide voeten stevig op de grond en focus op het punt waar ze contact maken met de grond. Adem rustig in en uit door je neus. Drie tellen in en vijf a zes tellen uit (het tellen helpt je hersenen afleiden). Richt je ademhaling op je buik en voel hoe je buik uitzet en weer intrekt bij het in- en uitademen.
Als je merkt dat je weer tot rust bent gekomen, kijk dan opnieuw naar de opgave alsof je die weer voor het eerst ziet. Volg de stappen die je misschien al hebt gezet wanneer je 'm al een gedeelte hebt opgelost. Waarschijnlijk zul je merken dat je brein het vanaf dat moment weer oppakt!
Het lijkt soms zonde van de tijd om zo’n ademhalingsoefening te gaan doen, terwijl je een test hebt, maar de tijdswinst die je uiteindelijk maakt door je hersenen uit die paniekstand te halen, weegt er bijna altijd tegenop. Alvast heel veel succes!
It’s possible that she hasn’t got aphantasia, but something called face blindness (prosopagnosia). The Wikipedia might be an interesting read for you guys!
Anyone have suggestions for a 10 year old who likes comic mischief? He’s a huge fan of diary of a wimpy kid series but his reading level has moved beyond that. He’s also really enjoyed the wild robot series, Matilda, and the skunk and fox books....
Former (Dutch) teacher here! Diary of a wimpy kid is easy reading for a lot of kids and I always found that the really engrossing books could help them move on to their actual reading level. For my students who liked comic mischief in class, I could always get them hooked to reading with The Saga of Darren Shan.
Don’t let the ‘horror’ genre fool you: the story is dark and funny. Based on the books you named I think your kid might love it!
Mijn collega vertelde over ‘Alle geschiedenis ooit’: een podcast over de beste verhalen uit de wereldgeschiedenis. Ik heb 'm zelf nog niet geluisterd.
Een die ik zelf erg leuk vind, is ‘De Grote Vriendelijke Podcast’ voor volwassenen over jeugdliteratuur. Ze interviewen schrijvers op een hele prettige en toegankelijke manier. Ook leuk om te luisteren wanneer je zelf al een tijd geen jeugdboeken hebt gelezen!
Nog een niche waar je van moet houden: ‘Beyond the Game’: meestal interviews met escaperoomeigenaren, maar ook over escapegerelateerde onderwerpen. Als je fan bent van escaperooms is het zeker een aanrader!
I would really love to see this community come to life. I’m a 22F & I suspect I have endometriosis. I have no other social media (I deleted instagram, facebook, & reddit earlier this year) and I don’t want to feel like I’m alone in this anymore. Is there anyone out there?
Hi! You’re not alone! I deleted Reddit as well this year and I miss the Endo subreddit… Would love to see some more activity in this community as well.
I’m a 35F from the Netherlands, so English is not my first language and my experiences with docters/hospitals might be different from your own experiences. I’m still recovering from my second endometriosis operation last june. They found a lot, even more than what was visible on the scans.
So… on Reddit I was a lurker, but as they say: be the change you wanna see! Any one else here except for calculusqu33n and me? Maybe post your age and tell us what made you visit this community? :)
Hey, I’m so sorry, I didn’t see any notification of your message! And still not really used to checking my comments due to my lurker past 😂
My second surgery went very well, but the recovery is a removed. They removed an ovary and an endometrium with a 6cm diameter, a lot of peritoneum that had growths and scar tissue on it, endometriosis nodules on my diaphragm and large endometriosis spots that formed on the scar of the last operation on the top of my vagina. They also removed a piece of my intestine and multiple adhesions.
It’s four months later now. The first two months I felt great, because I was in a lot of pain before the surgery and that was gone. But in month three new pain flaired up. My doctors think I’m in chronic pain territory now, where my brain has learned to be oversensitive for pain. I will soon be starting with a treatment that’s specialized in re-training your brain. You can read and watch a informative video about it here: www.tamethebeast.org/ I think it’s very promising!

Hey fellow book lovers! I want to read books/classics from all over the world. Please recommend me favorites from your home-country, something you would want others to know/to read. Already looking forward to your suggestions!
Casanova kept extensive memoirs and only briefly mentions Lucia, his first love. He names her as one of the few women he wronged, but offers no explanation. In Lucia’s eyes by Arthur Japin tells the (fictional) story of Lucia and offers a story that fits into the gap that Casanova left in his memoires. It’s one of my favorites to recommend as an introduction into literature. The Dutch title is Een schitterend gebrek.
A true Dutch classic is The Assault by Harry Mulisch. It covers 35 years in the life of the lone survivor of a night in Haarlem during World War II when the Nazi occupation forces, finding a Dutch collaborator murdered, retaliate by killing most of the family in front of whose home the body was found.
And if you really feel like sinking your teeth in some literature you would have to read The Discovery of Heaven, the magnum opus of Harry Mulisch. I can’t really manage to give a summary, I think it would be best if you just start reading without any spoilers about the story. Maybe read the other books first and then decide if you trust me ;)
If you end up reading one of those, I would love to hear your thoughts!
I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched....
Not technical at all, I work in Learning & Development at a company. I am always reading the comments and try to learn, but sometimes I have really no clue what you guys are talking about haha!
Yesterday someone was expleaning about adblocker and all the comments were like: “Yeah, who can live without it…” Well, me I guess? And I saw one that was highly recommended so I downloaded it, because why not try it out right? But apparently it’s not for your phone. Or I didn’t have the right app to support it on my phone.
I was thinking about asking it in the comments of the thread, but like you said: I think a lot of people here have a tech background and although everyone is very nice, I think the explanation might go over my head.
I don’t want to give people the feeling I get when I’m trying to explain to my mom over the phone how she can e-mail a file on her computer. It can be very frustrating ;)
Ah thanks! I just switched to Firefox and Duckduckgo as search engine because all the comments on privacy here on Lemmy. I will check Brave out as well!
Thank you, I think you are right. The comments on my comment have been nothing but helpfull and kind. It’s really encouraging for a new Lemmy-user like me!
Why is lemmy so popular in the Netherlands? Dutch

Older kids book recommendations
Anyone have suggestions for a 10 year old who likes comic mischief? He’s a huge fan of diary of a wimpy kid series but his reading level has moved beyond that. He’s also really enjoyed the wild robot series, Matilda, and the skunk and fox books....
Goede Nederlandse podcasts? Dutch
Wie heeft wat aanraders? Genre maakt me niet veel uit, ben in veel geïnteresseerd.
