2025-02-22 08:45:07 +0000 UTCI feel like "why did X figure go insane" is an unanswerable question and the wrong question. Being "insane" isn't a rational behavior; and I imagine Jeronimus Cornelisz had experienced in his life a massive amount of violence, systemic and random. He didn't want to be with the VoC, and pretty much no one did, so when someone reaches the end of their rope like that, in that kind of world where "normal" is getting broken upon the wheel by the State for even the suspicion of heresy (and that is, in your idea of the world, everywhere), and throw in a helping of religious fervor, you get someone willing to do and justify anything to satisfy their libidinal anger and escape from it all.

So renting a place with no floors makes sense cause we love doing things like this ourselves (also notice how flooring is quite cheap here) And the lamps, of course you have to fix that yourself. Who wants to use someone else’s lamps, we can buy our own stuff. Dutch landlord also don’t mind if you make some holes in the wall just fill them when you leave, the next renter is going to repaint the walls anyway. Making a new house your own is I believe one of the core tenants of being Dutch

2025-02-16 08:51:30 +0000 UTCMy junior year of high school in 1984 - I pour myself a big old glass of iced tea at my Korean friend’s house, and oh my god, this is not iced tea! I did like it though, and totally see where the Cheerio water name comes from. Haven’t had that in close to 40 years but now I have a weekend mission.
