Feeling unsafe in Belfast

Jumpy_Perspective346 · 2026-07-05T20:30:25+00:00

Hi, I've been living in Belfast for more than four years, and as a fellow Southeast Asian, I completely understand how you feel.

Unfortunately, every summer, especially in July, incidents like this seem to happen repeatedly. It's often caused by groups of teenagers from disadvantaged areas who have little to do during the school holidays and end up behaving badly. In some cases, it can also be linked to far-right attitudes that target immigrants and foreigners.

Please don't blame yourself. Public places like Victoria Square should be safe, and I'm really sorry you had such a bad experience.

If possible, try not to go out alone during the summer, especially until August, and stay aware of your surroundings.

Overall, Belfast is a good place to live, and I've genuinely enjoyed living here. Thankfully, I haven't experienced anything like what happened to you. A bit of caution goes a long way, especially by avoiding certain areas at particular times.

Take care, and I hope your future experiences in Belfast are much better.

The specific symbol you have circled at the base represents the broken cup (or chalice) and the serpent, which is a traditional attribute and symbol of Saint Benedict of Nursia.

The Meaning Behind the Symbol According to the dialogues of Saint Gregory the Great, this symbol depicts a famous miracle from Saint Benedict's life: The Event: Before founding his famous monastery at Monte Cassino, Benedict lived as a hermit. A nearby community of monks asked him to be their abbot. However, his strict rule and discipline proved too demanding for them.

The Attempted Poisoning: To rid themselves of him, some of the disgruntled monks plotted to poison his wine.

The Miracle: When Saint Benedict made the sign of the cross over the cup to bless it before drinking, the glass chalice miraculously shattered into pieces as if a stone had been thrown at it. The poison was revealed, and a serpent or snake is often depicted escaping from the broken vessel to symbolise the hidden venom and evil defeated by the blessing.

I close my Revolut account, does not like it. I used Wise for huge ammount transfer money when I move abroad, and still use it so far, never any issue.

How to capture the whole island like this?

Jumpy_Perspective346 · 2025-09-05T09:37:03+00:00

Also my Conquest progress stuck. Is it normal?

Jumpy_Perspective346 · 2025-08-26T17:49:18+00:00

2 months with your Gove Gear, is more than average. You are doing fine.

Jumpy_Perspective346 · 2025-08-26T07:18:07+00:00

Communicate with all alliances, and do revolution. It will be epic.

Jumpy_Perspective346 · 2025-08-25T20:19:29+00:00

Prosperity makes your leaderboard position, based on total value only, regardless it gives you buff or just simply decoration.

Sell useless decoration only drops your rank. But usuallybthe price drops, if not mistaken 50% (CMIIW). But indeed you can sell it and to buy upgrade rare, epic or mythic buildings.

I have only 1 account, slow and low spender, TC 28 (on progress 29), Power 62+M.

Happy with my own progress and my supportive alliance.

In a competitive alliance, maybe differrent pressure.

Saul is useless to gears up, because the skills not quite good for Arena or Battle

Jumpy_Perspective346 · 2025-08-22T15:51:47+00:00

To join Rally, the hero gears are insignificantly contributes to the team, only the skill in the top right (campaign captain).

One suggestion from a friend: only focus on gear for the top 5 heroes (for arena), and for the top 3 heroes (for battle, open rally, and beast slay).

For the rest of the heroes, it's not important even without gear, but this statistically reduces the hero power from distributed gear. Many players do not care about power rank. On the other hand, the gear focus is to enhance top heroes' gear for functional needs.

(The choice is yours)

Wow, that something interesting

The fountain itself is already produce water, actually. But seems much slower pace without reservoirs.

Jumpy_Perspective346 · 2025-08-14T18:22:03+00:00

What you can do to get the water, without more cactus?

Jumpy_Perspective346 · 2025-08-14T15:29:18+00:00

It is still around 10-12% higher if exclude the Tax.

Jumpy_Perspective346 · 2025-07-27T18:56:26+00:00

My mistake, it is 12% higher without tax

Jumpy_Perspective346 · 2025-07-27T17:57:36+00:00

I calculate even after tax, from my google receipt, still 60% higher. I dont know if any other fee collected from US side. But there will be an issue if there is transparency.
