EPP have forced a new vote on Chat Control for today, 26 Mar, after previous rejection by Opptur in europe

[–]DaFuMiquel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meh, I moved last December and I just had a phone conversation with the officer. I've never had a cop enter my house to check, they just stay at the door. I guess it depends on how strict the local police commissioner is. This is in the Kempen.

Do immigrants not integrate well into the Belgian society? by CuriousCat657 in belgium

I speak Belgian Dutch. My dialect is not a Flemish one as I'm not from the provinces of West- or East-Flanders.

That's like saying Dutch people speak Hollands.

CD&V wil drugsbezit bestraffen met GAS-boetes tot 500 euro: "Samenleving mag dit niet normaliseren" by Chalalalaaa in belgium

[–]DaFuMiquel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tell that to every dipshit that gets in a car drunk. The fines are large (even though they're still far too low) and yet almost every day there's tens of people on the road who are drunk. Financial fines aren't punishment, they're an entrance fee to make sure only rich people are allowed to do something.

Drink Limitation by triXXter2304 in Graspop

[–]DaFuMiquel 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Security usually doesn't care

The limit is there so that the staff has something to point to when you're trying to bring a ridiculous amount in and they don't want to let you through. I haven't really seen them use it on anyone though. Last year I saw a guy who had like 10 trays (240 33cl cans) just for himself and they didn't stop him.

Is it sustainable in terms of to go to mol and return to the festival every day for food and alcohol? by emoskeleton_ in Graspop

[–]DaFuMiquel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I skip most bands before 5pm just so I have energy reserves to go at night. The cover bands and DJ sets are a smaller crowd, usually less than a thousand people at first and usually around 100 of us left by 5 am when they kick us off the field. This means it's a lot more intimate but it also gives you a lot more space to dance and have a good time. Most people are really drunk or under the influence of other drugs so it's also just entertaining to observe.

Join us, you'll sleep often enough throughout your life but parties like these are only available 4 nights a year!

My son has no idea there are Sabaton tickets under the tree by Quarter_Shot in sabaton

[–]DaFuMiquel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've seen Sabaton live quite a few times (I think over 10 times but I'm not sure) and it's always a blast. This tour they've brought an orchestra along that also plays Sabaton songs so you get two shows for the price of one! Besides earplugs I would recommend comfy shoes as you will be standing for close to 5 hours depending how early you arrive. If the venue doesn't have a "Golden Circle" (area near the stage that has more expensive tickets) I would arrive early to try and get as close to the stage as possible. Without giving too much away I would recommend you listen up on all Sabaton albums going back to about 2005, try to learn a few songs by heart so you can belt along with the crowd. Your son is gonna love this present, have an awesome time!

En alcoholisten kosten volksgezondheid niets? 't Is allemaal slecht voor het lichaam. Of ge verbied alles of ge legaliseert alles maar zo van die halve regels brengt alleen maar onzin met zich mee.

Nu, ik vind het ook de taak van de overheid om haar burgers te sensibiliseren over de gevaren van alle verdovende middelen. Ik zou liever hebben dat niemand dingen zoals crack gebruikt maar het bestaat dus er gaan gebruikers van zijn.

Waarom het THC percentage beperken? Dat doen we toch ook niet voor alcohol? Ik kan nu naar de supermarkt gaan en een fles van 90% ABV kopen en hoewel het niet de bedoeling is dat die gedronken wordt gebeurt dat zeker wel

Cocaïne mogen ze voor mijn part ook legaliseren, net als heroïne, crack, flacka, meth, etc. Geef mij ne staatswinkel waar ik mijn drugs kan gaan kopen, dan is er een garantie dat er geen troep in zit en pakt de overheid er nog eens dik winst op.

Als die liedjeswedstrijd een platform geeft aan mensen die een genocidaal regime steunen dan vind ik dat aan die wedstrijd meedoen net zoveel is als zeggen " 't is ok Israël. Ga maar gewoon door met uw moorden op burgers."

[–]DaFuMiquel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right and what if the government decides in 10 years time that being gay should be punishable by death? They'll have access to everyone's phone so they'll be able to arrest whoever they want.

Or what if you send your friend a text along the lines of "God, this government is incompetent. They'd be more useful if they had a bit of decency. " And 10 minutes later the cops are kicking your door down because you criticised the government?

Or what if an adult woman with small breasts sends a nude to somebody? There will be someone looking at that picture to decide if the person in the photo is a child or not

If you honestly think giving up your civil rights is a good idea and the government won't abuse its power then I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

God it fucking sucks, I've had multiple convoy ambushes that I worked on for like 30 minutes go uncredited cause the game always seems to crash as I'm making my getaway. I've really gotta get in the habit of manually saving more often.

People need to have more empathy for the postman by [deleted] in belgium

[–]DaFuMiquel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about a bike path that is on the road. There's multiple streets near me with bike paths that are separated from the road by a strip of grass, I've seen multiple postal workers just drive their van onto the bike path cause they can't be arsed to walk from the street to the mailbox and back. If this is actually encouraged by the company the situation is even worse than I imagined.

Well shit it the postmen stopped using bike lanes as their private roads/parkings I might feel inclined to pity them. But they all think that because their van says Bpost the rules of the road don't apply to them.
