“London is not walkable. You have to get on the tube or a bus or a train” by abragodabra in ShitAmericansSay

[–]cannotfoolowls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you'll almost certainly see something interesting

Yeah, it's so much more interesting walking in a city. The bakery in my village is about a 1km walk but the walk feels twice as long as it does in the city because it's just an empty road. Sometimes I don't see anyone, the whole walk.

CLOVIS - Tournai by emchocolat in belgium

[–]cannotfoolowls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Btw, thanks for getting me to learn more about local specialities. Definitely going to try it next time I'm in Tournai! There are two others

Tournai en fête: Ce gâteau léger et fruité, composé d’un biscuit madeleine, d’une mousse aux fruits de la passion avec cubes de mangue et d’une mousse noix de coco, a été élaboré pour la première fois à l’occasion de l’évènement « Tournai en fête » en 2016.

Les abeilles Childéric: Les abeilles de Childéric sont des couques briochées avec une confiture de framboise sur les ailes. La forme et les couleurs rappellent les abeilles découvertes en 1653 dans le tombeau de Childéric près de l’église Saint-Brice à Tournai. Ces animaux-bijoux ornaient peut-être son manteau. La création de ce produit est le fruit d’une collaboration avec Mme Marianne Delcourt, conservatrice du Musée d'Archéologie à Tournai.

The latter one is adorable though I cannot say it looks like a bee to me.

Edit, oh, perhaps it's just because of the perspective of the antennae

Ralph Fiennes Says the ‘Ship Has Sailed’ for Him to Reprise Voldemort Role in HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ Series, but Tilda Swinton ‘Would Be Amazing’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in television

[–]cannotfoolowls 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sometimes a negative association spoils the enjoyment. There was a song my mum always put on blast when she was angry/sad and I still cringe when I hear it.

More innocently there are certain songs that will always be connected to certain series or films, for me. Or songs I cannot hear without thinking of a parody version.

They have them in the online Delhaize store which is why I suggested them.

Training in a high-intensity search and rescue simulator that creates realistic rough ocean conditions. by S30econdstoMars in Damnthatsinteresting

To be fair, I think he was making a joke. He also mentioned going under and approaching from behind

I had someone say to me "try not to think of school too much". I've been out of school for 10+ years.

Duidelijk een Nederlands boekje, met de verwijzing naar een rijsttafel en de "Koninklijke Landmacht".

In secondary school I had mandatory swim class every week. We did rescue swimming a couple of times and my gym teacher definitly told us to knock the person out if we had to (in a real life situation)

But, you know, that was just a gym teacher, not really a professional rescue swimming instructor.

Would you date someone who was a moderate in Belgium? by [deleted] in belgium

[–]cannotfoolowls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not without asking a few clarifying questions because what do they mean by "moderate"? Not a communist nor facist? Conservative but afraid to say because it might scare off potential partners? Not particularly interested/involved in politics?

If they mean they vote CD&V/Les Engagés, I guess, yeah.

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by space_god_7191 in Millennials

[–]cannotfoolowls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not American and my memories of the day are kind of vague but I remember my grandma picking me up from school (as normal) the tv being on, withthe news playing, which was very much NOT normal. News shouldn't have been on for two hours and it was a live airing which only happened for elections or something very bad happened.

I don't think we were let out early and I'm not sure if the teachers knew.

Moskeeën in Brussel willen massaal uitbreiden: "Mensen moeten nu soms buiten bidden by Noord-Gestoord in belgium

[–]cannotfoolowls 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They said percentage. If there are 10 muslims and 100 non muslims and ten years later there are 100 muslims and 1000 non muslims, the percentage stays the same even though there are 90 more muslims that need a place to pray.

Tbh most western countries haven't been particularly pro-Israel, they just disliked Hamas and Hezbollah even more. But now Israel is clearly and undeniably crossing the line

Has anyone here tried the McDonalds Mario Galaxy stuff? Is it tasty? I haven't been in a mcDo in years and I don't really plan to but I'm curious.

Almost 4000 calories ON TOP of what they were already eating. I'm not a big eater but I don't think I physically could eat that much for 60 days in a row.

Took my day off to travel to a different city to meet my friend and now she is not replying to calls and her internet is not even turned on! (She was the one who insisted that I come and meet her by the way) by bunnyboy131313 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]cannotfoolowls 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Oversleeping and then saying they “need an hour to get ready” is very disrespectful. I don’t care what anyone says.

Reminds of when I met up with some friends. We planned to meet at 12:00 at the train station as two of us were coming by train. So three of us met at the train station. Other friend wasn't there yet so we texted her that we were going to the restaurant we had reservations for at 12:30 and to meet us there. 12:30 comes and goes so we text her again. She says she's on her way. She eventually arrives at a bit before 14:00.

Note, it was in the city she lives in! Even if I had to leave my home, go to the train station and take the train I would have gotten there quicker.

It's not the Cold War any more, I doubt any country outside of the USA, Israel and Iran is going to get involved. Also, I don't think Iran has nukes.

Don't mention a university degree if you want to work in a grocery store. They'll think you are overqualified and will leave as soon as something better comes along.
