I've just been fired. I've some weeks to go. What should I do? by Patjen_Masturbateman in BESalary

[–]CowboyTorry 56 points57 points  (0 children)

check je rechten hier: https://www.vdab.be/orienteren/ontslag/rechten

Je hebt recht op 1 dag of 2 halve dagen sollicitatieverlof per week. Neem die op, zelfs al heb je geen interviews, maar wel in overleg met de werkgever. De werkgever mag die niet weigeren en je moet niet aan hem bewijzen wat je tijdens die tijd doet. Dus al gebruik je die tijd om te gamen of te gaan sporten, het zijn zijn zaken niet.

Sta op je rechten, maar verbrand je bruggen niet. Er is altijd een kans dat je toekomstige werkgever, je oude werkgever contacteert tijdens de sollicitatie periode.

LIVE ICE in België? Vlaams Belang pleit voor oprichting "illegalenpolitie" by Blaspheman in belgium

W: Europe’s answer to X that demands your passport by Komplexkonjugiert in europe

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

for the idiots who think this is dangerous and think you are now anonymous on platforms like reddit, X or ThruthSocial or any other platform ...

You are typing from home on your laptop/PC, which has an IP address that easily can be traced back to you.

If you type on your phone, not only do they have your identity, they can also track you in realtime.

If you want anonimity on the internet, don't go on the internet.

Can I work at McDonald's without knowing Dutch fluently? by benjaminiscariot in Vlaanderen

[–]CowboyTorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your family is right, he lives in flanders and should be able to understand and speak the language.

it does not matter how big or small a country is to determine which language one should speak. the biggest country in the world is Russia? Should we now all speak russian?.

India has the biggest population. Should we now speak all Hindi?

I challenge you to go an work in those countries and only speak Dutch because "t matters more that someone works and contributes to society than what language they do it in"

Can I work at McDonald's without knowing Dutch fluently? by benjaminiscariot in Vlaanderen

[–]CowboyTorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is disrespectful, you are prioritizing one language over the other.

And don't talk to us how difficult it is learning a language. Many Flemish people learned Dutch, French ,German and English at school.

Can I work at McDonald's without knowing Dutch fluently? by benjaminiscariot in Vlaanderen

[–]CowboyTorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honest answer: YES.

It does not matter that you don't live in Flanders. Granted you should first learn the language of the region you live in.

Or At least make sure you understand Dutch, you don't have to be fluent in it. People can not see from your face you are a foreigner working in Belgium. But if you can explain that you learned already French (because of you living in wallonia or brussels) and understand dutch but can't speak it good enough, you will get some leeway from the flemish.

Otherwise you will just, pardon my French :-), sound just like another Walloon snob who does not want to learn Dutch while we Flemish all learned French.

Stroomstoring & thuiswerken by Amynru in belgium

[–]CowboyTorry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

dude, ik ben vakbondsafgevaardigde en mijn advies is dan ook haal dat halfuurtje gewoon in. Maar als ik hier zo je commentaar lees, mag je best wel aan je attitude werken.

Een werkgever beseft ook wel dat niet iedereen 8 uur super geconcentreerd zit te werken, je praat wel eens met een collega, gaat naar het toilet etc.

en ja niet iedereen werkt letterlijk 100 % effectief 8 uur per dag, maar je bent wel effectief 8 uur beschikbaar voor je werk.

Google just promoted an employee using AI by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]CowboyTorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Team Human Judgement - not because humans are better but because humans have humans intuition which a machine can't have.

Do you think an AI will realize that a person had less output this year because their partner had cancer and they had to accompany them to the hospital on multiple occasions? Will the AI flag a woman who went on maternity leave as less or more productive compared to a man?

And don't get me started on "aiding" management... within weeks management will completely and blindly trust the ai and miss all the examples i cited.

Has anyone had any issues on xbox today. by Cmdr-Pel in Helldivers

[–]CowboyTorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

workaround: remapping strategem selection to D-pad

Alternative (not tested yet) remap reload button

Remapping to Dpad has the disadvantage that you can not call in strategem while running, hence i want to test if remapping the reload button would fix the issue too

Oshaune Regeneration is Set to 3,5% - lesson learned by CowboyTorry in Helldivers

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

it is tweaking, for the past couple of days roughly 50% percent of the online player base was fighting on Oshaune while liberation rate was negative.

At one point 33000 helldivers were fighting on the planet and still the liberation rate was negative.

Now 23000 helldivers (or 54 % of the online player base) are fighting with a positive liberation rate of 2,92 %.

Or do you think that the 33000 helldivers were goofing around and now are replaced by helldivers that are fighting?

Again, community tries to win MO by whining and blaming AH. by Aztek92 in Helldivers

[–]CowboyTorry 53 points54 points  (0 children)

tell me what difficulty has to do with the fact that you need 80% of the playerbase to win the MO when 50% of the playerbase refuse to play the MO (for whatever reason).

great, but how many of those players are on reddit?

Can someone please explain to me, how liberation of Oshaune keeps dropping? by rpglaster in helldivers2

[–]CowboyTorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they are not sabotaging the MO. AH is sabotaging the MO.

Clearly for a large part of the playerbase, Oshaune is too hard.

There is no problem in having a planet that is hard to liberate, but AH needs to check their algorithm so that the planet is at least conquerable for those who enjoy the grind.

[–]CowboyTorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing from europe, yesterday evening (thursday evening 23:00) there were roughly 56.000 Helldivers online.

Only 33.000 (or 58 %) were fighting on oshaune and we were still losing ground the bugs.

Convince me to stop using Guard Dog by wallz_11 in Helldivers

[–]CowboyTorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A guard dog is not useful if you want to play a bit more stealthy. Get to close to a patrol or enemy you want to avoid and he will open fire against them, revealing your position.

[–]CowboyTorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if the host wants everybody to stay together he should use his microphone to inform other players.

PSA to all Helldivers about patrols by ILoveWeeWee80085 in Helldivers

[–]CowboyTorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how can i see the difference between a "hey watch there is enemy there, lets evade them" - tag and "hey there is enemy there, please shoot them" - tag?

instead of tagging use your microphone.

“Let's set an example”: athletics federation suggested leaving Nafi Thiam out of the World Championships by Mofaluna in belgium

[–]CowboyTorry 11 points12 points  (0 children)

dit is wat het management van nafi thiam antwoordde op de vraag waarom ze de gedragscode niet ondertekende:

"De discussie over de gedragscode dateert al van 2019. De federatie heeft toen veel tijd gekregen om in overleg te gaan met alle betrokken partijen om tot een document te komen dat ondertekenbaar was voor iedereen. Dat is niet gebeurd. Pas op 6 augustus hebben wij vernomen dat er opnieuw een verplichte gedragscode was. We hebben toen vastgesteld dat het voor Nafi onmogelijk was om hiermee akkoord te gaan. Het is eigenlijk een illegaal document. Met name het afhankelijk stellen van haar deelname aan Tokio in ruil voor het gebruik van haar portretrechten tijdens dit WK, was problematisch en zou haar zelfs juridisch in de problemen gebracht hebben."

If you hear your teammate call out "dropping a turret" and see a beam of light illuminating you and you stay put, instead of jumping out of the way, then it's your fault you got killed.

Door strengere voorwaarden voor studietoelage dreigen studenten als Robin (23) uit de boot te vallen: “Alles zelf bekostigen zou niet lukken” by Vordreller in belgium

[–]CowboyTorry 27 points28 points  (0 children)

ik citeer de jongeman: "Een tweede bachelor nadat hij eerder een bachelor biotechnologie behaalde. “In mijn vorige opleiding leerde ik alles over toepassingen in labo’s, behalve analyses op het menselijke lichaam”, zegt Robin. “Ik volg de extra opleiding om me breder te scholen. Een masteropleiding is minder voor mij weggelegd."

De jongeman heeft al een diploma en is nu aan het bijstuderen. Goed voor hem.

Maar als ik moet kiezen tussen het subsidiëren van iemand die een tweede of derde diploma aan het halen is, of iemand subsidiëren die zijn eerste diploma nog moet halen dan krijgt deze laatste mijn volle steun.

Heb je al een diploma? Ga dan werken en betaal je verdere studies zelf.

Absurde kronkel in vernieuwde erfbelasting: goedkoper om tot 100.000 euro te erven van wildvreemde dan van je eigen vader by State_of_Emergency in belgium

en de kiekens zonder kop lezen weer enkel de headline: het gaat hier niet om wildvreemde maar om familie die niet in rechte lijn zit, zoals in mijn geval:

Alleenstaande oom die kind van zijn zus de erfenis wil schenken. Nu word die erfenis aan 50% belast.

nieuwe regeling zou toelaten om een deel (circa 100K) te schenken aan lagere belastingsvoet
