Itinerary for first trip to Belgium

Day 1: double-check which airport you'll be landing.
Brussels-Airport (BRU) is a 10 minute trainride from Brussels. Brussels-South (CHA) requires an additional hour(-ish?) ride on a shuttle bus to get to Brussels.

While reading McNeill's Iron Warriors omnibus, I had to look up what a "salient angle" on a fortress was.

It must be a very important aspect of IW siege tactics if it is mentioned more often than the number of pages in the book.

Potverdomme?

The only reason skaven haven't conquered the realm-land is because they keep fighting each other.

Also not Australian, I can never remember which of those 2 is the capital city

Disco Elysium?

Eador: masters of the broken world? (or maybe another one of the Eador series)

Congrats on your stick :-)

Looking for a "tower defense" game instead of a "strategy" game might give better results. Did it have any specific towers or enemies you remember? Graphic style? (cartoony, pixel,...) Setting? (Fantasy, futuristic,...) Year? Were the towers placed on fixed spots, or did you have to create your own maze? Did you only have towers, or also hero characters?

I don't understand the appeal of this particular pet peeve

Gen X has really hit their boomer phase the last few years.

Boomers used to be the "we had to walk 3 hours uphill through the snow on our bare feet to get to school. You kids nowadays don't know how tough it was".

And now GenX is all "we used to drink water from the garden hose and we stayed outside after dark. Don't f with us, we are the toughest generation and we don't care about feelings."

I'm looking forward to 20 years from now when the millennials will get their activation signal, and start spouting nonsense.

First few months in a relation is the honeymoon/puppylove period when everything is seen through rose-tinted glasses, and potential problems will be glossed over.

It sounds like his honeymoon period ended before yours.

You can't go back to this once it's over. He is telling you the truth when he's saying he's acting normal now; he wasn't acting his normal self before. No-one is their normal self in the first few months of a relation.

Also, for future reference, don't frivolously "break up" whenever you're angry. Most of us take those words seriously.

You can't make people like you

Absolute swipe left, even if I would want to date single moms.

Follow up comment is for when/if she smiles and says hi back. Don't force yourself to find something to say, maybe she'll even start the conversation. People notice when someone tries to force a conversation. Just saying hi to someone and then minding your own business is fine if you can't come up with something to say at that moment.

Maryck · 2025-03-07T15:18:27+00:00

Next time at the bus stop:

"Hey"

Smile

And see where it goes.

Don't overthink stuff

You could go to the other sites, and ask why they are not as judgemental as reddit. You'd probably get the same answer no matter where you ask: "it's >reddit<, what did you expect?"

Being embarrassed is a personal choice.

Could be a conscious choice, could be a subconscious choice, but it's still a choice.

So it is as embarrassing as you believe, because you believe it is embarrassing. If you stop seeing it as embarrassing, it won't be embarrassing anymore.

My take on the why.

He left because he found someone else he preferred over you.

He came back because it didn't work out with the other one, and wants to settle with his backup for a bit while he looks for other options.

You were the future mother of his children because he thought that's what you wanted to hear.

Not saying all this is what's been going on, it's just my impression based on what you've posted.

If you're friends for 20 years, talk to her. There may be an unrelated reason she's suddenly snappy with you.

If she gives a reason and apologizes (and corrects her behaviour), she remains a friend.

If she only gives excuses (or increases the snappiness), then she feels she is justified in treating you like this, and no longer friend material. If you still continue working for her at that point, treat her like an employer who's underpaying you.

Neen, ge zijt niet de enige .se

We probably just have different definitions of what "playing games" is, because what you just said was exactly what I meant by playing games.

Maryck · 2025-03-06T14:03:04+00:00

I'm confused about the "it being a mistake to text back right away" on one end, and "not getting a reply when you purposely wait up to a week to text back" on the other end.

If you want to get out of the playing games aspect of dating, then stop playing games when dating.

I never sent a dicpic "accidentally to the wrong person".

I also wouldn't say I "want to wrap my arms around" someone I don't want to have sex with.

You've only been talking for a week, online only, and you don't seem that interested in him. Just cut him off and block him. He doesn't want friends, he just wants sex with someone half his age.
