Honestly I quite like it here. It's obviously not perfect but when I compare it to other countries we do rather well.

Honestly my biggest complaint is that it's so full. I recently visited Norway and the vast forests and just untamed nature is gorgeous and the air quality is great. But then again nothing is really far away in the Netherlands so ups and downs.

Oh right you drive 100 there, forgot about that. That makes it even more insane!

Dutch? I'm guessing because the speed limit. That's insane though, 170 is flat out in most cars.

I print warhammer for friends for money. So that plus the money I saved on models for myself, I'd say it's worth it.

But it's also a hobby, learning how the things work and how to model is a lot of fun!

Same exact experience. Dutch literature is horrid. It's a lot of sad depression and drugs. There's a reason almost everyone read "het diner" or "het gouden ei" since those are doable. There seriously isn't anything exciting like a detective or the stuff you mentioned. Not even a 1984, which is a depressing book but at least there's some excitement. It really seems most Dutch literature is just pages of misery and nothing happening.

For English literature I read the lord of the rings. Way more pages, much more fun.

What's up with cats sometimes taking a long time to think about a jump and then just completely fails anyway by making the tiniest jump?

Also catnip is like a drug for some cats right? Why does nobody find it weird people are getting their pets high?

Yes! Scientists trained dogs to stay still in an mri and showed them pictures of the dog's owners. The areas that correspond with human joy areas lit up! Same when they smell something from their owners.

It's stress hormones you use to handle stress with becoming an emotional wreck. This includes physical stress like getting sick but also of course emotional stress.

The effects of low cortisol are similar to a burnout and high cortisol makes you worry and restless on the low end and paranoid at the high end.

Corticosteroids are synthetic versions of this and often use to treat infections and inflammation.

So where I live if you have a disease, physical or mental, you go to a doctor and they decide if you're ok to drive or if you need to pass an extra test first where you are judged if you're able to drive safely with whatever disabilities you have. This is besides the standard driving test and written test. Also everybody has to take lessons with a professional.

It's however not perfect because the government doesn't have access to your medical records (which is good). But that means you have to be honest on a form about your disabilities. Plus the doctor visit is not covered by insurance and costs around 200 euros.

Plus if you already have your licence there isn't really a system in place to prevent you for driving if your health declines.
