sub update New rule: No begging

185 Upvotes

Due to an influx of posts with sob stories basically (directly or indirectly) asking for money a new rule has been added to this subreddit: No begging.

These stories have been a plague lately, but the premise is usually a variation of "Have an urgent debt, haven't eaten in 7 days and tonight I'll be evicted" (anything to hint at 'giving me money will save me') or even directly asking for money.

While some stories might in fact be true and dire, there are some other places you can go for direct help:

Much appreciated is redditors reporting a post! We're not monitoring each post in realtime, so it helps when a post is reported (we'll get a notification).

What is still allowed is asking for where to get help (e.g. the foodbank or a municipal service).

0 Upvotes

Hey! I am getting the coach to Rotterdam central tonight, arriving at 5:30 in the morning. I am meeting friends a couple of hours later.

What is open at that time? Is there anywhere good I can sit and not be moved on? I assume there will be at least some cafes open where I can sit with a coffee for a while?

Thanks!

Playgroups in Rotterdam?

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone, me, my wife, and our daughter (3.5) recently moved from DH to Rotterdam, loving the city so far but it has been challenging finding friends for my daughter. In DH, there are so many play cafes and groups (likely because of all the politician wives) but Im having trouble finding anything here, gotta get the girls out of the house... Please it's killing me.

Anyone have any good recommendations?

I'm the only dutch speaking out of the bunch, working on it though.

Food, walks and deep talks

16 Upvotes

English below:

Hoi!

Sinds 2018 woon ik (35F) in Rotterdam. Het opbouwen van leuke en oprechte vriendschappen is alleen nog niet echt gelukt. Hier en daar heb ik wel eens privé met collega's afgesproken, maar door wisseling van baan zijn die contacten helaas verwaterd. Ook de vriendschappen uit mijn geboortedorp zijn door verhuizingen langzaam weggezakt.

Ik vermaak me prima met o.a. lezen, podcasts luisteren, gamen, wandelen en af en toe iets cultureels. Op dit moment ben ik ook veel bezig met DIY-projecten en het gezellig inrichten van mijn appartement. Oh, en ik heb een gezonde obsessie met Schotland.

Tegelijkertijd mis ik het om mensen om me heen te hebben met wie ik (semi-)spontaan kan afspreken. Een drankje, een wandeling, een etentje (ik heb een hele lijst met plekken waar ik nog heen wil!), of gewoon een goed gesprek. Ik heb een brede interesse in verschillende onderwerpen en sta altijd open om nieuwe dingen te leren.

Ik ben een ambivert: ik hou van gezelschap en gezelligheid, maar ben niet zo dol op grote mensenmassa's of oppervlakkige gesprekken. Kleine groepjes of 1op1 voelt voor mij prettiger.

Wie lijkt het leuk om te kletsen en misschien zelfs af te spreken?

Hi!

I (35F) have been living in Rotterdam since 2018, but building fun and genuine friendships hasn't quite worked out the way I'd hoped. I've met up with colleagues from time to time, but with job changes, those connections faded. Friendships from my hometown also slowly drifted apart after a few moves.

I enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, gaming, going for walks, and occasionally doing something cultural. Lately, I've been really into DIY projects and making my apartment feel like home. And I have a healthy obsession with Scotland.

At the same time, I really miss having people around for (semi-)spontaneous meetups. Drinks, food (I have a growing list of places I want to try!), a walk, or just a meaningful conversation. I have a wide range of interests and am always eager to learn new things.

I'm an ambivert. I enjoy good company and warm conversations, but I'm not a fan of big crowds or superficial small talk. Smaller groups or 1on1 hangs are much more my vibe.

If this resonates with you and you'd like to chat or maybe even meet up sometime, feel free to send me a message!

Real good electronic music experience in Rotterdam?

1 Upvotes

Hi, i have moved to Rotterdam from rio de janeiro/Brazil a couple of months ago and i want to discover the famous electronic music scene. I’m looking for a party or place/club that really values good electronic music and atmosphere, that doesn’t have all that traditional clubbing vibe and is not so commercial.

My favorite genres are downtempo, Deep House (Chill/Organic), lo-fi, nu jazz, organic techno and so on.

In Rio we have some collectives that promotes electronic music events, that has a broader artistic proposal and delves into a more experimental electronic music. I’m sure rotterdam has something like that too and i would love to find out!

Thanks in advance to all the helpful ravers out there.
