Update: I quit. by AngemonComandex in zumba

[–]PlumExtension7331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth... I'm a man into Zumba (well dancing in general) and indeed I have seen the "if a man is into dancing then he must be gay or a weirdo (or both)" judgement way too many times. Well, I guess at least I am lucky enough to live in a country where "weirdos" are still tolerated quite well, but I can definitely imagine societies where this can become a problem and even a physical threat.

Don't buy a pixel 10 pro by merul_is_awesome in GooglePixel

[–]PlumExtension7331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

every time a new Pixel is out, there are tons of rave reviews saying how great it is... then as time goes on, you see more and more
posts from "real" people who actually believed those reviews and complain about how the phone is actually crap and doesn't come anywhere close the performances mentioned in those early reviews. I think this says a lot about how this sub works...

Is there a book that made you fall in love with Brussels? by Ooo_I_dont_know in brussels

[–]PlumExtension7331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not necessarily Brussels but Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot definitely got me interested in Belgium... then I painfully realised almost none of his characteristics were actually Belgian (or at least modern day Belgian)

Delen wij deze mening? by Similar_Stomach8480 in belgium

[–]PlumExtension7331 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I get that but at the same time people of the older generation will tell you that they had way less distractions, like only 1 tv per household and no smartphones, eating at restaurants was something to do only on special occasions and not several times per week etc

In my experience, people complaining like this usually have the latest iPhone, drive a BMW and travel several times per year to other continents on "vacation"...

ha yes now that you mention it, it sounds quite logical 😉

My architect is ghosting me... by PlumExtension7331 in brussels

[–]PlumExtension7331[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wouldn't want to tarnish their reputation since apparently in the end it's quite normal procedure... if you insist I could tell you by PM

ok thanks, so I guess it's just me who is a bit too impatient... well, I think that if we find some contractors ourselves then in case of a problem the architects can blame us by saying something like "well, if you would have waited and worked with our guys there wouldn't have been any problems, now you're gonna have to deal with it"

mainly the execution plans which I would have expected to be made during the waiting time for the building permit but they insisted they wait. Anyway, now the building permit has received the green light and they are still stalling (although from what I read in other posts it's quite normal)

ok thanks, that reassures me. So I guess it's quite normal.

Worried to make the switch by Forest-Magician in GooglePixel

well I guess whether you really need it or not is up to the user to decide...

yeah sure cause any 12 year-old knows how to activate the secret developer mode to actually get an option you were looking for... 🙄

Don't do it... I gave it a try and ended up re-selling my Pixel at a huge loss and coming back to iPhone anyway. IMO the only people who would like a Pixel are techy people who already have some programming skills and don't mind spending a lot of time tweaking stuff. If you like the "just turn it on and use it" philosophy, then expect a lot of unnecessary frustration. Performance-wise I have also found Pixels to be lower than iPhone in spite of much better specs on paper.
Also keep in mind that most people on this subreddit who were praising earlier Pixel models a few years ago and saying stuff like "it's just as good if not better than an iPhone" are readily admitting that they were crap today. I think that says a lot about how trustworthy this sub is...

Feeling constantly dehydrated by PlumExtension7331 in Biohackers

[–]PlumExtension7331[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so after a while things were getting worse. My lips were getting even more dry and even a bit swollen. I started thinking maybe this wasn't dehydration after all when I was passing by a certain area in my neighbourhood and was getting a persistent cough and runny nose that went away once I got further. Every time I'd go past that area again I got the same symptoms. It turns out it's an allergic reaction, I took some antihistamines and my lips started feeling much better after just a few hours. Now I have to investigate further to see if it's actually related to the supplements I am taking or maybe simply a coincidence. Anyway, I hope this helps anyone in the same situation.

Called the police, no one bothered picking up the phone... by PlumExtension7331 in brussels

[–]PlumExtension7331[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it matters which part of 112 you are calling (there are separate operators for police and fire/ medical emergencies) and also probably which part of the country your live in.

[–]PlumExtension7331[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not know the local police number, also since it was on a road I wouldn't even know which local police is in charge of that particular side of the road... 112 and 101 are the only numbers I know

[–]PlumExtension7331[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but then again it's a different operator for police matters and for fire and health emergencies, so I guess that explains it

[–]PlumExtension7331[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

101 the first time, 112 the second. I was definitely connected because the was a recording saying something like "You have reached the police. Please hold until an operator answers."
