  • I have, and it is basically exactly that same thing. Being able to switch contexts quickly can sometimes be a superpower.

    Similarly, being suddenly interested in learning a new skill very often but always only for a brief amount of time, has allowed me to get a little bit of knowledge of many things. I’m not an expert on anything but I have had so many hobbies and interests that I can easily pick up new things because there’s always some base knowledge to link it to.


















  • I don’t know how or why this is always attributed to the Dutch. I’m Dutch. We definitely did not learn this. Not in school, not from parents, not in driver’s ed. We do not open our doors this way.

    The thing is that all Dutch drivers are also cyclists, that helps a lot. Also, our infrastructure is very very very VERY accommodating to cyclists. Often bicycle paths are separated from roads,which helps a lot.

    When opening doors, we simply look. There’s a mirror very conveniently placed for the sole purpose of looking behind you. Use it. If you open your doors without looking and thinking, you’re an idiot. None of that has to do with being Dutch.
