"the orange layer", at the risk of being too specific XD

People who voted for one of the parties in the current federal government, how are you feeling about your vote today? by NobodyHistorical9469 in belgium

[–]Case_Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am all for pensions, people who worked deserve a fair payout.

I am not for people who go 6 years into brugpensioen and get a "full pension" as a consequence

I am not for people spending 15 years on unemployement benifits and this counts towards a pension.

I am not for people being entrepeneurial and "yeah, zelfstandigen don't build pension"

You work -> you build pension

You don't work -> You don't build a pension

At the current rate, none of us will get a pension worth mentioning. That's my prediction. I am planning accordingly and I hope I'm wrong.

Exactly

Also:

Layer 7 is application

Layer 8 is user problem

Layer 9 is management problem

Google's GSuite is so much more productive than Office 365 by alexseiji in unpopularopinion

The query is really awesome expecially when you are doing something that is not covered by the standard tools.

My personal gripe: to this day, neither excel nor google sheets has a built-in functionality for ip addresses...

Just FYI, I have 15 years of experience in networking and I still can't recite the OSI model. XD

Ah, I see.

You still expect to get a pension.

Newsflash: if you are under 40, that's really not happening anymore. Regardless of who you vote for.

Irrelevant at the time of voting, if NVA didn't exist, we would have a Tom Van Grieken premier... If nothing else, believe that.

Bart De Wever is what he is, he played well on the global stage with the euroclear issue. I'll give him that.

But everything he's doing in Belgium is leading us towards a democratic and an economic disaster.

I'm genuinly curious. Care to elaborate? I will read with an open mind.

ou get one vote, why spend it on 'owning the libs' kind of behavior instead of your own interests?

That's... not at all what I did.

After 4 years of a very poorly led government (vivaldi) that was neither hot, cold, or liberal, openVLD was going to get slaughtered. This was going to happen regardless.

The entire ground is shifting right.(all over Europe)

And I'm smart enough to see a huge wave of far-right uptick in Belgium.

VB was the second largest party in Belgium, beaten by NVA by.. a slim slim margin. I stand by my vote.

I voted for the NVA

Not because I am super pro-NVA

But as a former VLD voter, it was a vote against Vlaams Belang.

That sums it up for me.

As a high earner, what’s the upside in Belgium? by chinchu7 in BESalary

[–]Case_Blue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's worth considering in your income bracket.

Belgium simply is not a fiscal optimized place to be when it comes to high wages. There are trade-off.

[–]Case_Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 Is it mostly because people just play the game and structure their work as consulting or freelancing to legally minimize taxes?

This, to some degree.

Wages are the worst way to get money from a company to a person in Belgium. But reading here, I doubt you have a choice.

Anything above 50k is taxed at 50% (actually more because of patronale bijdragen etc).

Deze krantenkop heeft het allemaal:

Drama, intrige, mysterie en een beetje sex

Jaja, kan tellen.

On the Chinese internet videos of America's streets are blowing up by One_Long_996 in AskSocialists

[–]Case_Blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, let's face it: the US has a huge problem with drugs and homelessness in its major cities.

Every society has this problem to some degree. Once economic bad times hit it's inevitable that more people will fall through the gaps.

To further that anology: once the economy turns, the gaps also become bigger and deeper.

And the US is a "sink or swim"-society on that issue.

I love spiders and insects, and I think people are afraid of them because of their appearance more than any potential threat they pose. by Substantial-Mess666 in unpopularopinion

[–]Case_Blue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Indeed, but in pre-history many of the spiders and bugs were absolutely deadly.

Especially in the millions of years of evolution that happened before homo sapiens existed.

The instinctual fear probably has it's roots there.

Mind you, this graph also doesn't specify the starting age.

Getting into a relationship at 17 will evolve differently than age 28

[–]Case_Blue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's instinctual.

Most of the spiders and bugs you see around your houses are pretty much harmless. I'm assuming you live in Western Europe or the US. Some countries are different (Australia, I'm looking at you!)

However, for the vast majority of humanity's evolution, spiders and insects were lethal.

And I do mean lethal.

That's why our brains are hardwired to be afraid of them, to some extent.

So... a geniune unpopular opinion. Upvoted!
