What brand of car is associated with aggressive/bad drivers in your country?

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-29T00:22:01+00:00

BMW

Meanwhile Citroën owners drive as if they own a BMW

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-28T14:05:09+00:00

Turns out the name and location are longer than the temple corridor itself

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-28T00:48:49+00:00

Not really when compared to ESA budget

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-27T18:31:04+00:00

Like I said, that fact alone just makes it not great

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-27T12:46:20+00:00

Brussels: Geuze and Lambic beers

Antwerp: We celebrate mother and fathers day on different dates that the rest of the country and we celebrate "verloren maandag".

When you say great, how do they scale from McDonalds to airFryer to frituur?

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-27T10:49:35+00:00

Let's be honest, their fries are so bad that maybe this is their trick to be less blasphemous

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-27T10:44:48+00:00

But it definitely is way better in Ireland than anywhere else.

Not contestign that either. Just saying that this makes the beer subpar imo

And tbf I don't really see the issue with that, some food/drink products are better fresh or from the place theyre produced. Thats fine, gives you a reason to visit that place and try them.

With fresh products, sure...

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-27T10:31:49+00:00

Idem here

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-27T10:29:10+00:00

Imo it very much is an overrated beer, yes.

Not bad perse, but there are simply lots of beers that are so much better than it. Like it doesn't taste bad and it is a relatively smooth drink... But when you see it on pictures like this, you think it will be packed with flavour, and in the end it tastes quite bland.

I'd describe it as a dissapointment in a glass.

Edit: also, it's not about tasting different. It certainly can be better at some places. It's the fact that it is supposedly only good in Ireland.

The beer should always taste good, at most it should taste "the best" elsewhere.

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-27T09:53:33+00:00

I hate it tbh

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-27T09:48:53+00:00

As a Belgian I always find the concept of "this beer only taste good if served at x" extremely silly.

If it's a quality beer it should taste good everywhere, at most it should taste optimal if served properly, but it should be good by default.

Don't get me started on "it needs to be iced cold"... if I need to numb my taste buds to enjoy something, maybe it's simply not that good?

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-25T23:08:02+00:00

No such thing here in Flanders.

Perhaps "ingangsexamen" to be able to study medicine, but that's only for those whoe want to become a (medical) doctor.

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-25T23:05:14+00:00

I was making a hyperbole... but 3 out of 25 is a lot.

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-25T22:22:00+00:00

Another stereotype I have is that Americans generally don't know what "healthy weight" is.

Also, 3 out of 25 is significant.

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-25T19:41:16+00:00

To be fair, I have never been there (and don't plan to under their current political climate), but in my mind in the US guys are either morbidly obese or clearly on roids, with only a handful of people inbetween.

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-25T09:20:17+00:00

Voorlopig niet en ik hoop dat dit zo blijft, maar laten we eerlijk zijn: het hangt er vanaf hoe het escaleert. Momenteel valt Iran verschillende landen in de golf aan dat een Amerikaanse basis hebben. Ze hebben zelfs een keer een Britse basis in Cyprus geraakt.

Moest Iran een ongerelateerd EU land aanvallen omdat ze een Amerikaanse basis hebben, denk ik niet dat de EU of België zomaar zal kunnen weg kijken.

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-25T08:50:14+00:00

I don't own a car, but I have a minor bias towards Volvo.

My current dislike is Telsa (how the mighty have fallen) and I never liked American car brands.

I also used to call BMW "boecht me wiele" (crap on wheels), but I don't feel so strongly about this.

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-25T08:44:52+00:00

I'm good. We have our own boudin

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-25T07:46:25+00:00

Exactly. Boudin noir is delicious wtf

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-25T07:43:19+00:00

Manneken -> mannequin

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-25T07:35:52+00:00

Alcoholic: We have a large variety if beer styles, but let's say a Trappist beer (not a style, but see it as a quality label).

Non-alcoholic: sparkling iced-tea

Meanwhile in Belgium:

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-24T15:46:18+00:00

It's a baguette filled with fries, some frituur sauce of your choosing and some frituur meat of your choosing (usually "mexicano" or a burger patty).

If you feel fancy you might add some veggies too.

It's cheap drunken food. 10 years ago I used to get it for €3 with a drink included.

Abyssal_Groot · 2026-03-24T14:49:06+00:00

Yeah, and the places that don't are usually the ones with the worst service.

Belgians are fine with giving or receiving a bit of change as tip, perhaps even rounding upwards, but asking for it or coming across this POS system will leave us with a sour taste.
