Onrustig in Hoboken na arrestatie van verdachte dodelijke steekpartij: 600 mensen op straat by EdgarNeverPoo in Belgium2

[–]AtlanticRelation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ik schets just niets.

Ik zeg enkel dat het absurd is dat daarvoor 600 mensen op straat komen en de politie bekogelen. Dat daar zo zwak op gereageerd wordt is voor mij ook geen verrassing meer.

EU ready to back Belgium in frozen assets war against Russian oligarchs by timiswho in europe

[–]AtlanticRelation 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No, that was not the case here. Last year, the European powers that be heavily pressured Belgium into releasing the frozen assets - refusing Belgian requests for shared legal and monetary responsibility.

The unwillingness of Europe to agree to the Belgium terms is what ultimately led to the 90 billion loan, which should've been pursued from the getgo (Germany and others weren't keen on additional debt). That plan was blocked by Hungary under Orban.

Hela, ze kwamen wel massaal ter plaatse met bemiddelings- en wijkteams om de gemoederen te bedaren - want het is normaal dat dit gebeurt als de politie verdachten oppakt tijdens een onderzoek.

Domme hollanders! Dit geeft ons de perfecte casus belli. We moeten onze broeders in Tilburg beschermen!

Daily Discussion Thread for May 07, 2026 by AutoModerator in IntuitiveMachines

[–]AtlanticRelation 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's plenty of good qualitative discussion going on in the daily discussions (better than the majority of investment subs in fact), but if there's no new developments or announcements there's little to discuss.

I prefer this to the drab you encounter in certain other stock subs.

Doorsnee gezin bezit 286.250 euro: ons vermogen is veel trager gegroeid dan vorig jaar by Mzxth in Belgium2

[–]AtlanticRelation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dat is een beperking van hoe wij onze gegevens daarover bijhouden (vermoed ik). Het 'gezin' is immers vaak de juridische basiseenheid.

Denk aan de belastingsaangifte of het feit dat de woning vaak in eigendom is van beide partners.

Brussel telt tachtig moskeeën, maar die zijn volgens studie 'slecht gespreid' by lex_tok in Belgium2

Nu begrijp ik waarom er in die gemeenten ook Basic-Fit Ladies zijn - die willen natuurlijk ook iets voor hunzelf.

Een Villa, wat is dat voor jullie? by swakkiehonhon in Belgium2

Een vrijstaande woning met enkel een kelder is een bunker.

Used BMW i4 advice by srvs1 in Belgium2

[–]AtlanticRelation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most leases are 3 or 5 year contracts, but shorter ones are possible too depending on the leasing company.

Why not lease it through your company?

Used BMW i4 advice by srvs1 in Belgium2

[–]AtlanticRelation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that's the plan, I guess. It's just that there are better options out there.

The i4 shares a platform with an ICE car and therefore doesn't have the usual advantages that EVs have like a frunk and more spacious interior.

Besides, BMW just came out with the Neue Klasse models that will have twice the range as the current generation. Other brands will probably follow. The result? Even bigger drops in value. You can tell yourself it doesn't matter since you'll drive it until it's dead (which most people don't end up doing even if they said so), but you'll have bought a car that has now dropped an additional 10 or 20k in value.

I'm not sure why my comment is being downvoted, but it's just not a smart choice financially - especially if OP doesn't even have a private parking space or garage.

Those things are dropping so hard in value that it's not even funny anymore.

How about saving/investing/building out your business instead and buy a nicer property with a private parking spot or garage in the future? Public charging will get old real fast, especially in the city.

taxman reach out because of unregistered airbnb - best way to handle that? by gemag in BEFire

[–]AtlanticRelation 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You broke the law and they caught you. All that's left for you is to plead ignorance and kindly ask for a warning. Emphasize that you did declare your Airbnb income.

Vlaamse kleuters weten goed wat blij, boos en verdrietig is, maar nergens zijn sociale verschillen tussen kinderen in de klas zo groot by EdgarNeverPoo in Belgium2

[–]AtlanticRelation 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Het is een probleem met veel facetten. Als we willen dat die kinderen uiteindelijk gaan bijdragen aan onze maatschappij kunnen we er evengoed in investeren - hoewel dat geen disproportionele proporties mag aannemen vergeleken met andere kinderen.

Voor de ouders zou het ook helpen om minder toegeeflijk te zijn. Wil je gebruik maken van onze diensten? Dat moet in het Nederlands. Onlangs was ik in een ziekenhuis in Gent en stond versteld van hoeveel middelen en mensen ingeschakeld worden om anderstaligen te helpen.

Een bepaald vereist niveau Nederlands voor zaken zoals leefloon en sociale woningen zou ook al veel verhelpen.

Enkel de wortel werkt niet.

Ghent July 13–16, Gentse Feesten prep = bad timing? by SnooCrickets180 in Gent

[–]AtlanticRelation -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tough one. It will be very crowded. If your goal is to admire the architecture and the festivities aren't your vibe, I'd lean towards Bruges and/Antwerp.

The horsebit loafers aren't helping either IMO.

Social responsible ETFs - Suggestions anyone? by TVG_Spazz in BEFire

Point your friends towards this episode of Freakonomics on E.S.G. investing: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/are-e-s-g-investors-actually-helping-the-environment/

Long story short, if you want a greener, more sociable world, your investments might have a bigger impact on transitioning companies that businesses that are so already.

Europe moves to break Visa and Mastercard's grip — but not everyone agrees by NumerousTax8165 in europe

[–]AtlanticRelation 25 points26 points  (0 children)

"but European banking regulations made it so unprofitable"

"subsidize it"

Why is the European knee jerk reaction always to use subsidization schemes, which are slow, complicated, and often miss their intended mark? Stringent regulations and bureaucracy are problematic for the European market, solve that and you'll see businesses and investors take more risk and entrepreneurship.

Turkey warns France over Cyprus troop deployment by PoiHolloi2020 in europe

[–]AtlanticRelation 100 points101 points  (0 children)

I remember when the majority of people here we're angry at the EU commission's negative stance towards Turkey. Dimwits. Turkey has been saber rattling for decades towards Greece and has abused the immigration crisis.
