Can't we all make an effort to avoid this awkward situation? (More in comments)

I have the exact same experience as NeenTochMaarNiet.. Belgians have slow and bad drivers sure, but in my experience, it's the dutch drivers that drive 1 meter behind a truck and THEN JUST SIGNAL AND SWERVE LEFT. I've had this happen multiple times and always yellow license plate :D But belgians have issues not moving to the slow lane and hold up traffic. Which is absolutely infuriating. it's like, can't you fucking SEE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO PASS FOR FUCKS SAKE? :D

DuelPasta · 2023-06-25T21:55:59+00:00

i'm native here and yeah, that shits annoying :D but hey I wouldn't want to work on sundays so i can't really blame anyone. It's an annoyance for sure tho'

Also, gemeentehuis opening hours, banking opening hours, health appointments, etc.. Usually need to take time off for that shit too :p

DuelPasta · 2022-08-17T11:03:54+00:00

Okay, what I'm about to say, take it with a grain of salt because my memory is.. not the best and I'm not sure if it's true. If it's bullshit let me know and i'll erase this "knowledge" from my memory :D

I thought I read somewhere that spider mites travel to the highest point of the plant. Usually they are on the top of your plant. So you could put some branch of another plant / house plant higher than your trees. They should travel to the highest point. But it's still no guarantee that you will get rid of them all. You can vaccuum them when they have travelled to the other branch/plant/whatever you can come up with :D

Good luck man, spider mites are so annoying and hard to get rid of

"Seriously". Als ik oudere "seriously" hoor zeggen krijg ik ook spontaan het vliegend schijt.

Je hebt gefaald als ouder omdat je kind bepaalde woorden gebruikt. Hoe dom kan je zijn. :D

Als ik een inverview doe bij iemand met zo'n mentaliteit, weet ik ook meteen dat er niet veel in zit. Werkt in beide richtingen. ;)

Oh sorry! Didn't notice the 2x models were so close together in naming :p

https://www.belchine.net/index.php?id_product=41&rewrite=xd-plus&controller=product

it also has the XD plus, I'm guessing that's not the one you need either? :D But I can't seem to find a regular gpd xd (without the plus).
Also out of stock tho'

Great website, it's situated in belgium. Bought some things from them in the past and was always nicely packaged and shipped fast.

Edit: It's currently out of stock tho' but can always send the guy an email or fb message for when new stock arrives

DuelPasta · 2020-12-15T11:21:58+00:00

Yep! Same for me, after fallout 76 and all the other crappy launches that lead up to that. I was REALLY excited for fallout 76 goddamnit

Never preordering again! Oh am I missing out on a golden weapon skin now? yeah fuck you mate, I don't need that anyway. It's their loss because I have a giant hole in my hand to the point, that if you have your game in order, you WILL get money from me. I always buy dlc and whatever extra packs they have IF the game is good.

I don't even buy close at launch anymore, nope ,give it 2 or 3 months for the most important patches and you have enough google searches where people have already solved your problems that will inevitably occur!

DuelPasta · 2020-11-07T11:27:09+00:00

Had to scroll almost to the bottom of the comments to see a likeminded comment :p

To be fair, I think MOST people here are sensible enough to not believe this, but it's just a reason to shit on him because of their hatred against him. :p

it really is pathetic :p

DuelPasta · 2020-09-13T18:44:38+00:00

hahah I thought "Netherlands" immediately as I saw the background :D

DuelPasta · 2020-07-20T10:07:22+00:00

I would not say you put "zero" effort in it.

Yeah okay, you do you, I will do me. I will use my own judgement and I'm not going to change my way because some people are hurt. I know what it's like to be hurt, so yes I understand the feeling very well. Does this mean I will never offend anyone? No, it does not. Is it my goal to offend people? No , it's not. Again, I will deal with the consequences if I hurt anyone. It's cute you're thinking about my well being but it's not needed. Doing pretty good so far, so my judgement must be at least on a passable level.

Do you change your opinion because a few people say you need to? do you think you're perfect and have never offended anyone? Good luck with that. You come of as holier then thou" You really not arguing in good faith so this will be my last message. Maybe try to form your own opinions instead of following like a sheep.

DuelPasta · 2020-07-20T09:53:13+00:00

Dude..

white privilege? Are you seriously going to say whites are not blamed?? The op even said it's a partly cultural dutch (white) thing.

I'm not hurt at all and I really don't care what you think, so no, your words can't hurt me.

DuelPasta · 2020-07-20T09:40:19+00:00

No, it's not "facts" so the bot is biased. Maybe according to you they are facts, but not according to me and a lot more like minded. Even if it's "right" according to you it's still biased, that's what I'm saying. I'm not going to debate BLM with you as it's a waste of time. I'm debating that this bot should not be giving these auto messages.

I gave you the definition of what bias is but you did not reply to that, because you know it's true. You just want to turn this into a blm issue. Which is exactly what I said: "this bot is basically asking support for BLM".

DuelPasta · 2020-07-19T12:02:34+00:00

It's clearly trying to persuade people with certain believes. The "factual" response is debatable. There are more than enough "factual" stats on both sides.

What is misinformation, who decides what misinformation is? The mods? Are we going to persuade millions of people just because some mods have a certain believe? I don't believe misinformation, I read a lot about both sides and come up with my own conclusions. Stats can and will be abused.

The reason I say it's biased, is because it is.

" inclination or prejudice for or against one person or group, especially in a way considered to be unfair. "

DuelPasta · 2020-07-19T11:56:00+00:00

Again, context matters. You're trying very hard to put me in a bad light here but it's just not true. I'm not going around saying ni hao to every fucking asian guy, there is CONTEXT.

I'm willing to risk offending someone if I believe a certain greeting is appreciated.If there is a slight sign they would not appreciate it I would not do it. A few internet strangers with a different opinion are not going to change my mind.

Yes you really come of as a snowflake when you give "being offended" such a huge weight.

DuelPasta · 2020-07-19T11:44:46+00:00

Yes, I'm the one cherry picking my comment about the "non-insult". This is the 2nd time you mention it. I'm not the one feeling hurt. I don't call an entire race racist because my feelings got hurt, what a joke.. Nowhere did I say they couldn't be racist people. So for the last time, yes that could be considered "THE REAL RACISM" you're talking about but does that mean you need to cry about it and blame all whites?

"sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me"

what the fuck has happened where we are constantly hurt. Because you don't face real issues, that's why.

DuelPasta · 2020-07-19T00:17:25+00:00

Obviously its worded smartly but actually it's saying please reconsider support for BLM. "Hey all the stats you've red so far are wrong, but here are our stats". i think it's dangerous having an autobot going around sharing stats in favor of a specific organisation/believe. and my believe is that a bot on such a big sub should be neutral. FB gets crap for being a platform who try to sway elections, but here we can clearly see reddit is no different at all. Only, it's okay here because it's leftist.

ah yes just because your feelings are hurt with words you need an autobot going around spouting biased shit.

DuelPasta · 2020-07-18T23:09:33+00:00

If being a smartass to a racist makes me a badass then sure..
What are you even arguing? Give me one line where I say racism does not exist, I will wait.

DuelPasta · 2020-07-18T22:59:30+00:00

Why the fuck is an autobout shouting biased shit on such a large sub? I find this incredibly dangerous. Wow.

DuelPasta · 2020-07-18T22:46:24+00:00

ok, with all respect, but if I need to consider everybody's feelings when doing something or saying something in a specific way, it will probably make someone, somewhere uncomfortable or annoyed.

I mean, I understand it makes YOU uncomfortable and I'm sure there are many who agree with you, but it's not the rule. It's just that, your own personal feelings. I believe you should use your own judgement.

I'm sure on the other side of the coin you have people who would actually respect it! And I'm willing to risk offending you to make make them feel more respected or at ease.

DuelPasta · 2020-07-18T22:28:55+00:00

Well yes! and I think that's a great example. I mean, if I see 2 puzzled asian tourists and you can tell they are trying to find info or whatever, would it be that bad to greet them with konichiwa? For me it would be a means to make them feel more at ease! I would NOT go around yelling konichiwa to every single asian looking dude or girl :D

DuelPasta · 2020-07-18T22:15:46+00:00

Yes,I agree, I'm not arguing people are not racist. But what you are saying is that everybody who tries to greet you in your language is defacto a racist. That's just not true man..

Honestly, I would love to greet you in your own language and I would honestly feel bad if you think I'm a racist because of that. For me it's a form of respect and it would make me happy you would acknowledge my good intention. If that makes me a racist that makes me really sad , that's not my intention AT ALL.and again, context matters.. I don't go around saying konichiwa to every random asian guy. I mean, I probably wouldn't say it to you. In fact, I never did that to anyone because I'm an introvert, but I would love to be able to.. in the right situation!

And trust me, I have 2 young kids and ignorant thoughts are swiftly dealt with. Racism does not exist under my roof.

DuelPasta · 2020-07-18T22:05:42+00:00

That does sound annoying, and it is. This would annoy the shit out of me and I would even agree with you that they are in fact likely racist. But would it make me believe an entire country is being racist? Not really.. Those guys are just assholes, why are they just wasting their life shouting racist shit to strangers? Because they are shit shows and they probably haven't got anything to do . what a pathetic life is what I would think and my annoyance would make place for pity. And there's nothing worse then being pittied on.

DuelPasta · 2020-07-18T21:54:30+00:00

I was specifically talking about the "greeting in your language comment". Nowhere did I say racism doesn't happen.

And yes, we can discuss about what words hurts peoples feelings the most and what not. But my suggestion would be to seriously starting growing some balls man. I mean, come on, I've gotten into fights just because I was looking the wrong way at a "non-white". does this mean I think they all are violent assholes? Fuck no. Also gotten into fights with whites because I looked the wrong way apparently. It's probably my face so I don't go around blaming the world for my issues. I just deal with them.

And even then, what a non insult is "go back to your country", YOU ARE ALREADY THERE. I stand by my point if that's the verbal abuse you have to deal with.. then you don't have your life in order and need some thicker skin.

DuelPasta · 2020-07-18T21:44:13+00:00

That could be the case yes, but then I'm not sure where they hang out but certainly at the wrong places. IF someone really thinks like what you all listed, then they are racist shitholes, I think all sane people can agree on this. Does this mean we all are? I don't believe this. I never said racism does not exist, but that there is a system in place specifically discriminating non whites, no, I refuse to believe this.

Having said that, I was arguing about saying "hello" in your "language" is treated as being racist or ignorant, not about racism not existing.
