In Baarle-Nassau and Baarle-Hertog, which is essentially one village split between the Netherlands and Belgium in the messiest way possible, I think it’s based on where the front door is

Oh I’d never call myself a conservative, and most conservative parties here are right-wing as well.

Edit: I should probably start by saying that this is somewhat off-topic.

In the Netherlands we tend to rank our parties along left-right and progressive-conservative axes separately. Conservative-left gets you Christians who care about the poor. In other countries there’s also the “I want the government to support our workers”, “I want to go back to Soviet times” and “I’m leftist but LGBTQ is wrong” types.

The English disease of putting spaces in a compound word might be worse… it’s not even consistent. It’ll be a new example of “Dutch grammar is 50% special cases.”

Honestly no, never, and that feels more like a problem of not having proper cycling paths. Nobody wants to cycle on the sidewalk.

The way I see it, shawarma comes in strips and kebab in flakes

Oh die peiling ziet er eigenlijk veel beter uit dan ik dacht, ik was bang dat de PVV er nog meer stemmers bij zou hebben gepakt

Oh no, of course not. Obviously there’s a second party member. I’ve never seen both members in the same room together though. (the second member isn’t a person, it’s a foundation founded by Geert Wilders)

Aw. We’re pretty used to hanging out in English-speaking spaces so there’s probably more Dutch folk hiding around. I do know the head admin of lemmy.world is Dutch, as well as one of the main devs of mbin.

Where are you finding all these Dutch posts? This is the only vaguely active Dutch sub I know of

At least here in the Netherlands, there was a lot of commotion because a data centre tried to buy a windmill park meant to power households as their dedicated power source

Het helpt dat dit EU-breed is, dus alleen uit Nederland vertrekken zou niet genoeg zijn, maar het is nog steeds lastig

Nikki de Jager (who was supposed to be the spokesperson) said on TV that it didn’t feel right to hand out points. The Dutch broadcaster then told the EBU to just figure it out themselves.
Käärijä (Finland) also stepped down but got replaced, and Alessandra (Norway) already stepped down earlier because of Isreal.

They got crowned by the Witch!

Dutch Public Vote as well

Highlights from the Dutch broadcast (paraphrased):

• “The EBU reminded us that we’re contractually obligated to do this broadcast.”
• “Instead of the Netherlands we skip to Isreal, good thing they are completely uncontroversial.”
• “Everyone makes mistakes, the EBU also knows a lot about that.”

I think it’s very typical how even though Nemo’s song is about being non-binary, there’s tv-presenters are talking about “him” and “that boy”

Well, if true that’s all the artists I was interested in (and I’d fully support it)

Extra fun is how many sources originally talked about a physical confrontation
