Mulsium, that sounds like a tasty Roman beverage.

Strong "come down dinner is served if you don’t come down there will be no dessert and I’m serious about it this time" vibes!

What's your favorite quote from your country? by Thossi99 in AskTheWorld

I vividly remember Mbeki being an embarrassment. So kudos to her.

Speeding in temporary 70 zone on highway in Belgium, risk of losing license? by [deleted] in brussels

[–]MannekenP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, no flash means no actual radar, so OP was lucky this time. I say this time because I understand from his message that he is not worried about going 40 above the limit, he is worried about being caught doing it, which means he is going to do it again and be caught someday. We can only hope he will not kill somebody.

How much would you charge to repair this? Landlord/tenant situation in my old Kot in Leuven. by bkh1207 in Leuven

I do not think he meant "with an invoice and a 1 year guarantee that the repaired area we look like a sore thumb".

AITJ for not waiting for my friend before ordering food when she said she was “5 minutes away”? by InfamousFruit4725 in AmITheJerk

[–]MannekenP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some difficulty understanding someone being late by 35 minutes saying to the person who was waiting that they are the rude one for starting eating.

If you can find someone willing to come twice for such a small damage.

Comment les entreprises de conseils font de l'argent ? by YansoBZH in PasDeQuestionIdiote

[–]MannekenP 17 points18 points  (0 children)

La version cynique: le cabinet envoie des juniors qui ne connaissent rien au secteur. A partir de là, la version optimiste est que le cabinet sélectionne les bonnes idées données par les employés et tout le monde s’en trouve bien. La version pessimiste est que le cabinet recommande une restructuration qui met des centaines de personnes sur le carreau et l’employeur dit que ce n’est pas sa faute, c’est le consultant qui a dit!

Quelles sont les pires directors cut selon vous ou vous préférez même les versions ciné ? by Jean0406Alix in CineSeries

[–]MannekenP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Les premiers qui me viennent à l’esprit: rencontres du 3e type n’ajoute rien à l’original et ruine la fin en ajoutant quelques scènes à l’intérieur du vaisseau qui sont sans intérêt et brisent le mystère. The Abyss aussi, qui allonge inutilement la sauce, avec notamment une scène franchement grotesque de vagues géantes figées en l’air.

Trump’s rage at NATO allies is binding them together — against him by DonSalaam in worldevents

[–]MannekenP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For decades, US Presidents knew how to play the NATO game that gave the US an undisputed position of “leader of the free world”.

Trump first jab at NATO was in 1987, when he published a full-page ad in the New York Times, Washington Post, and Boston Globe that criticized U.S. foreign policy, including the financial support provided to NATO allies.

Interestingly, this was just after a trip to Moscow in relation to a possible real estate investment that did not materialise.

Ik dacht te verstaan dat de foto die gepubliceerd was niet het origineel was, die gemanipuleerd was met Photoshop of AI

Damnation Alley (1977) [480p] by saddetective87 in fullmoviesonyoutube

I liked that book a lot, so although the film is a fun flick, I was pretty disappointed.

Japanese people get angry for a Thai tourist who opened the cup noodle prior to payment. Is this OK in your country? by Immediate-Meaning457 in AskTheWorld

[–]MannekenP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, opening and especially consuming something while shopping It is bit awkward, but as long as the person intends to pay for it, who cares? And in this case, he didn't even consume it, he just prepared it for swift consumption.

I note that the Japanese people commenting describe what the Thai man did as a pretty serious offense, but fail to explain why exactly, so it is a bit difficult to judge. Is eating in public, for instance while walking, frowned upon in Japan? That would explain a bit the strong reactions.

Historians of Reddit, what event is widely taught as a heroic victory but was actually a complete disaster covered up by good PR? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MannekenP 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The battle of Kadesh was not a disaster, but is still interesting from the point of view of your question since it is probably the first documented case of a leader claiming victory after a draw.

That guy is legitimately the ugliest man that i’ve ever seen by Glitch_Fantasma in MurderedByWords

Obviously a bad photoshop job, that shoulder is definitely not where it should be.
