just touched down in the Netherlands and everyone's phone is making the emergency alert sound when they turn off airplane mode because there's some alert about a fire in Amsterdam right now lmao
…you know I'm kind of terrified by what would happen if they sent one of those out in an active shooter scenario

going to Albert Heijn you guys want anything
this country feels slightly less fake than last time but it does not Entirely feel real. too many reflective bodies of water in the night and weird trains
Dutch “people” will really call anything „pizza”
how it feels to deliberately spread misinformation about the Dutch online
ahh, Amsterdam feels like Berlin, in that it's too famous, a hip capital city where English-language marketing campaigns for random vacuous international bullshit make sense to run
real ones don't live in capitals
whoa this city has casinos? the Dutch really do allow everything. Sweden had like three or four government-owned ones but COVID killed them or something
oh this is also a state monopoly! neat
central amsterdam does in fact smell of weed everywhere it is Like That
god i wish i hadn't forgotten the FFP3 masks
if anyone knows of a store in Amsterdam where i might be able to buy some FFP2 or FFP3 masks i'd be very grateful
an oomf — whose dutchness ought to have been betrayed to me by the ij in their name — suggested going to a large hardware store. hadn't thought of that! sure enough, a Gamma store was in easy reach of public transit and had a few FFP1s, FFP2s and FFP3s

NES-on-a-chip famiclones will outlast civilisation
it says something about me that i have to stop myself from saying „ik kan niet nederlands” instead of like “hello, English?”
whoa the 3M Aura is comfy, this is probably the comfiest FFP2 mask we've tried
