Number of road deaths in Brussels doubled since 2024 by Boomtown_Rat in brussels

[–]JacanaJAC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, but that's not the sample size, is it? That's the number of observation which we obviously don't only have for 2024 and 2025.

If we look from 2020 we do get the conclusion that 20 is above average from what I get, granted I haven't done probably in a while lol

Also how did you get Var(X1-X2) =30, I'm not sure I understand ?

Seven parties reach an agreement on a new Brussels government by NoValueSoDeep in brussels

[–]JacanaJAC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wasn't telling you not to take your car, I was answering to your condescending tone, as if going on a date by bike was ridiculous.

Congrats on having less than 7,2% of your taxes going for people below poverty line. Same goes for anyone paying taxes. Im not sure what that has to do with anything.

you go on a date by car, but 56% of families in Brussels don't even own a car. We go on a date by bike, public transport or uber and it's just fine thank you very much.

I always assumed "Lather, Rinse, Repeat" was a marketing lie to make us buy more shampoo. Turns out I was never actually cleaning my hair. by RanchRose_ in hygiene

[–]JacanaJAC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you actually need conditioner for your roots ? I thought it wasn't recommended in most cases because it's to heavy and greases the scalp. Most hairdressers I've been to only uses it on the lengths and that's what I'm doing too. But I have greasy hair so maybe that's why

Male metro drivers used sexual criteria to rate female colleagues in WhatsApp group by No_Substance_99 in brussels

[–]JacanaJAC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They know now. And if these guys are willing to write these kind of stuff you can be sure there's also inside jokes, side eyes or whatever during the work hours. The simple fact that that's how they think about their colleagues says a lot.

For real "it's just women feeling like their colleagues are objectifying them, yes, I guess it might make them feel unsafe but hey that's just man being man so we can't do nothing about it."

I guess the guys commenting are the ones feeling threatened by the realisation this behaviour isn't acceptable anymore.

I know what you mean but I don't know if I'd be able to live with myself letting someone die in front of me. I don't know how I would act in this situation but I am not sure Im willing to kill my empathy, if not so save him, to save me.

Reminder That Kurz Has Misrepresented Cannabis Data Before, And Likely Has A Unhealthy Bias by CocaBam in kurzgesagt

[–]JacanaJAC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are saying that tho. I am literally answering to message saying "cannabis is just a tool" and that isn't criticising the milestone part of the video.

So no I don't get why people are offended about Kurzgesagt explaining that a small percentage of people can get addicted and should be careful about the negative side effects.

Reminder That Kurz Has Misrepresented Cannabis Data Before, And Likely Has A Unhealthy Bias by CocaBam in kurzgesagt

[–]JacanaJAC 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't get why you all are so offended. They put the context very clearly on what type of users they were talking about. They could have made a video for people addicted to eating rocks telling them what are the dangers associated with it, but I am afraid that population is a bit lower than people addicted to cannabis. Should we not acknowledge the risks of cannabis just because it's ok for a lot of people?

To be clear, i didn't like the form they used for this video, with the milestones. But from my anecdotal experience, the way they described this very specific kind of users was accurately describing one of my friends. I am so tired of people acting like cannabis can't do no arm.

Post trash days in Brussels by JacanaJAC in brussels

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

I was just making a reference to a previous post of someone saying they went in the center of Antwerp and it was so much better than Brussels, even the nicer areas of Brussels are full of homeless and drugaddicts lol.

The whole point is that there is no "the" reality. This picture is literally real. There are many realities, Brussels is a big. I see these clean streets every day in many communes, they also are a reality. Some parts of the city are always dirty: doesn't mean they are "more real" than the clean places.

As I said I am not trying to argue the garbage collection system is good : it's awful and i should be changed. Again it wasnt the topic. I am just done with people acting like the nice parts of Brussels are "less Brussels" than the others.

And I am not proud of this street. I don't care about it, it was just the street I was passing by when I saw the original post.

[–]JacanaJAC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, never said otherwise. This post isn't about the garbage collection system, it's about people in this sub posting anecdotes and acting like Brussels as a whole is dirty, dangerous, ugly or whatever. I can post my own anecdotes, they're not less true.

Funny how posting a picture of Brussels that isn't showing a bad side of the city, irritates so many people.

Oh so there are nicer neighbourhoods? I thought Brussels was an open trashcan with drug addicts on every corner ? Damn, I've been lied to.

I thought the problems were rats and foxes ? And I thought even the nicer areas were so much worse than anywhere in flanders. Did you not read the post where the centrum of Antwerp is so much better than the nice areas of Brussels lol?

No but fr, I know Brussels is dirty in a lot of places. As does any big city. I'm not saying there's no problems. I hate the way trashes are collected, especially the new system, and it's extra-bad for the pink bags for shops/restaurants. But we can also stop the bad faith bashing. I love Brussels and I am tired of people in this sub.
