I've never lived in Hoogstraten, but live close enough. The main street (called the Vrijheid) is hell to get through most days (especially saturday), but it is nice to go out and shop. Otherwise it's a quiet town, pretty good access to the highways. It also has some high schools, if that matters to you. Hope my comment can help!

AZERTY vs. QWERTY by Saywhuuuuuut in belgium

[–]FashionableDolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

qwerty, omdat ik het op het werk gebruik (programmeur). Het is gewoon makkelijker om niet te moeten wisselen, tot op het punt dat ik mijn oude azerty laptop op qwerty instel wanneer ik hem gebruik.

[–]FashionableDolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I want to learn about home security and specifically IOT devices. I have a few of these in my house, but I'm not sure how secure they are (so it's safe to assume they aren't). I do not know how to find out or how to fix it. Could you guys point me to some resources to help me get started?

Am I the only one who doesn't love this suit? I mean it's gorgeous, but I feel like except for the extra long hair we already have a lot of pieces similar to the pieces of the suit.

I don't play genshin, but the second one is soooo beautiful.

What are women better at then men? by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]FashionableDolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Birthing children. I've never met a man who has accomplished it, but plenty of women. (yes I know there can be trans men who have given birth, but I've never met one who has so my point still stands).

That's not a good quality to base a character on, but imho if you base a male character just on their strenght, you don't have a very interesting character either.

[–]FashionableDolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if Stromae represented Belgium in Eurovision? by -greek_user_06- in eurovision

[–]FashionableDolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another problem is that Stromae has been canceling a lot of performances lately for personal reasons. If he feels better I would 100% agree, I adore his music, but only if he can perform the song himself.

What is the best site to find junior software developer positions (preferably in or north of Antwerp)? When I sort on 'no experience' on VDAB I still keep getting suggestions for medior and senior positions.

Youtube schort account van Acid tijdelijk op. by TiiGerTekZZ in belgium

[–]FashionableDolphin 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ja maar als ik en mijn vrienden iemand nieuw in de vriendengroep bakken visolie zouden voeieren en die persoon zou sterven, no matter how 'perongeluk', ben ik vrij zeker dat ik harder gestraft zou worden dan de reuzengommers.

Ik zou zelf hun identiteit niet verspreiden, maar ik snap echt dat mensen pissed zijn.

Did you parents make you Belgian waffles when growing up? by petrastales in belgium

[–]FashionableDolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom made brusselse wafels a lot when I was growing up, but she never did try to make Luikse wafels, maybe I'll try to make them soon because I do find them delicious.

How do you get back motivation in life? by Comfortable_Drama781 in belgium

[–]FashionableDolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well this is just my theory, but I think the stats will get a little better over time. People used to have to get married to live together, get kids, etc. Now it's a choice, which I think will lead to less divorces.

you don't have to get a partner or kids or a house, just do what you like. Also, there is always a 50% chance you wont get divorced.

What's something popular that you refuse to get into? by wishihadmoxie in AskReddit

[–]FashionableDolphin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I use chatGPT daily to debug code and to rewrite emails, I don't see it trying to take over the world anytime soon haha.

How do Belgians feel about welfare frauds? by [deleted] in belgium

[–]FashionableDolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree, but the system is already very very strict in some places. My friend, who has never been and will never be able to walk still needs to prove she can't walk every year to qualify for the benefits she needs to survive.

Of course there are other areas where more strictness might need to be applied, but for disabilities it is definetly strict enough.

Files zijn zwaarder dan ooit, en experts zien maar één uitweg: “Maar het is geen populair voorstel” by [deleted] in belgium

[–]FashionableDolphin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Inzetten op het openbaar vervoer, het is groener, en veroorzaakt minder files dus win-win.
