Getting school lunches is so foreign to me, but then again people here in NL just bring home made sandwiches, which are generally cheaper to make than food like in the picture.
At least in the schools I went to when the teature noticed somebody didn't have lunch with them on a consistent basis they would ask what was wrong and give them food.
Some other kids just kept eating unhealthy food every day because the school was still selling that. Heck in my first highscool they sold candy every thursday or so. It was an interesting time.
What's NL? Why Americans always write their state names in abbreviations and expect people from other parts of the world to understand?
NL is the ISO standard abbreviation for The Netherlands and considering our history in the world (both good and bad) I assume most people understand where it is from....
Ok, sorry mate. As Americans always does this, I assumed you're from USA. My mistake. Have a good rest of the day.
Fair I understand it, I run into the same issue, but tying The Netherlands is pretty annoying especially with the amount I talk about it haha and a lot of people do understand what I am talking about.
Good day to you as well
Lmao your first hot take is hilarious though. "Why do Americans always do this shit! Oh not American, never mind, sorry for being a cunt."
Maybe realize were all humans first?
/s??
I read that as the Netherlands as it's their standard, international abbreviation
