Yup. Loyalty is a two way street. I know pretty successful companies whose former employees still speak highly of, precisely because the company did the whole "you work hard and we treat you well" thing. The moment that that trust is lost, your employees will treat you in kind. Except for some idiots falling for the propaganda of course.

They are not, which is why they charge them upfront. But people with a residence permit or citizenship are much more likely to stay long-term.

I have no strong opinion whether that is the right choice, tbh. I see it at my Uni, a lot of foreign students study here and the majority then leaves the country again. Which is fair, but the idea of tax-funded education is, well, it's tax-funded, so I am more or less directly paying for their education. Is that good/bad/worth it or not? I'm not sure.

Also, I feel like the majority of foreign students that come here just for a degree are already from wealthy backgrounds. I know I'm on dangerous "feelings, not facts" territory, but I get a lot of "rich kid who didn't get into a good uni in their home country" vibes. The poorer foreign students are usually super smart and got in via a scholarship or the likes.

how it punishes gender non-conformity

Fit the mold or die. Always the same.

I'm curious there, too.

To be fair, I see the argument. It is tax-paid, so you want to reserve it for people who are likely to pay future taxes.

If I may ask, what are the mainreasons people are homeless in the Netherlands? Mental illness? Drugs? Unwillingness to deal with "the system"?

Yup. I can do that.

What field are you in, if I may ask? I mean, the ship has probably sailed, I'm well set into EE/IT by now. Maybe med-tech, who knows. Sometimes it's cool to hang out with the actually smart people in the canteen.

Purely by feelings? Synthetik Biology. Super cool subject. Engineering, but your computers live. Sadly, anything Bio-related basically needs a PhD and top grades for a job. So I guess I'll stick with the lightning imbued rocks for now.

Add me to the list

Yup. A guy I know was a big WW2 nerd. Also openly gay. Sometimes people just like historic stuff.

So much this.

I found pure sports shooting a bit better, because people either are there for the sport or feel bound by fair play, at least most of the time

I know, I was trying to make a joke

Sounds painful. Maybe take it easy for a few days, mate.

So, how often do you have to drive manually for the portal? You know, just so I can be prepared and have some sulphur and goat blood in the fridge

Ewww, real people

Not that well, tbh. Although mostly because of a lack of users.

Honestly? Cool that you are asking, but I just want a coffee, not a conversation.

Yes, I'm German, how could you tell?

Nah, by all accounts, if manned by competent and motivated people, they work quite well. However, that is a big if in recent conflicts.

All toothbrushes I have seen come with a hard case, so I don't think that's a big issue
