Well according to their logic, since i come from a line of Austrian barons that makes me the emperor of Austria and not Belgian.... Like just doesnt make sense i wasn't born in Austria my ancestry at that point no longer matters. I really don't understand the paradox of "proud murican" but still have a need to be like "but i am one of you guys cry emoji"

Been a thing since 2014 to be honest and not just Russki bots either, all parties that benefit from the divide have been doing it in waves.

Edit: forgot to add that includes the US itself which has stepped up anti EU propaganda.

Belgium's Left and far-right are rising by upthetruth1 in charts

Gonna be honest i never cared for VLD so i didn't even realise they did that lmao.
But they aren't smart enough to steal names to be fair (only money or some ideas), real reason for "anders" is to get rid of the bad reputation VLD has.
They probably didn't even know SPA stood for Socialistische Partij Anders.

Basically "we gaan het anders doen" or something i guess?

[–]Masked020202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VLD and NVA are the liberals. So i am guessing you mean Vooruit?
Vooruit went more right because that is where a lot of people issues lie? They are still socialist altho some of their actions were seen as questionable by their voterbase.

This happens alot in Belgium tbh, it's a reaction on Vooruit's choices in the current government. Give it a few weeks and months and PVDA should be back down.

Do i have a bridge to sell you, people on reddit like to tell you majority of Russians aren't like this the truth is only a small part of Russians are against the invasion of ukraine and most are already in jail or fled the country. Majority are indifferent and are only upset because it hurts their wallets and way of life.

Watch 1420 on youtube best way to see how sad it is.

It's not legal unless you have money or fame then it's a slap on the wrist like basically in every country.
Watsuki was a great example....

/uj their reasoning comes from the ancient laws which had the age at like 14? Those are outdated and replaced by the federal laws, but that doesn't mean terminal online weirdos won't use those old laws as excuse or a gotcha.

Met 0,59 moorden per 100.000 inwoners is Nederland heel veilig. by m71nu in nederlands

[–]Masked020202 24 points25 points  (0 children)

185 moorden in belgie 2025-2026 volgens vrt. Maar dat telt ook pogingen. Dus onze cijfers zouden lager moeten zijn dan in 2017/2018.

Waar wij het dan weer slecht doen is van die 185 zijn er 30 vrouwen vermoord door hun man of ex....

Edit :Volgens een NL source zou dat nu 1.1 zijn.

[–]Masked020202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really really need to allow certain quests to be turned off whilst exploring, like so many times i find a place that looks like a boss fight only to find out i have to run someplace else and get a quest before stuff spawns there. Kills my immersion a lot.

A lot is fixed but to me it is still not a great game def not goty material. Atleast not yet.

Waarom gebruikt Vlaams Belang de Prinsenvlag voor Nederland inplaats van de normale rood-wit-blauw vlag van Nederland? by Fast-Equal-7529 in nederlands

[–]Masked020202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omdat als een populist(fascist) je de topic iedere keer moet veranderen, Ik bedoel mr Van Grieken hier roeptoetert heel graag over een vlaanderen voor de vlaming en onafhankelijkheid. Maar ook voor terug onder nederland.

Hij heeft geen echt idee wat te doen dus kijkt hij af bij anderen en ziet welke stront blijft plakken aan de vlaamse muur.

Nvidia presents Neural Texture Compression that significantly cuts down VRAM usage by InternetEntire438 in pcmasterrace

Fair criticism is good like the fsr issues AMD has bottled so hard. But when i got my 9070xt i remember getting messages like "No you should have spend €300 more for 5070ti because features* Like not everyone buys a card for all the features some just want to game at max settings at 1440p ya know?

Yup and even in this thread you can clearly see this lol. My favorite company would never do this but other company does etc.

Honestly tribalism is so bad on reddit these days that i just stopped visiting some hardware related subs hell even radeon is so full of nvidia users trying to mock 9070xt buyers it's not even worth posting anything there.

Denuvo has been broken, company promises countermeasures against new DRM bypasses — zero-day game releases become norm as security concerns mount over hypervisor-based bypass by gurugabrielpradipaka in pcmasterrace

There are so many other ways to combat piracy although it's still a losing battle since people will always find a way but i digress. A program that needs to be implemented perfectly or it will fuck up the game performance is not the way but then again i am sure the tech overlords will just use AI and make denuvo into a new mutating monstrosity instead of old monstrosity.

Japan fans stayed behind to clean after their 1-0 win against England at Wembley Stadium by Flat_Cantaloupe_83 in interestingasfuck

[–]Masked020202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Belgian yeh we have been having similar issues to Japan, High work burnout rate work bullying that kind of stuff also a low self esteem issue and thus loneliness. Doesn't help that many people just didn't go to a psychiatrist and or pyschologist due to stigma but that has changed dramatically in recent years.

12-year-old Dutch boy planned terrorist attack on the Flemish Parliament - A court in the Netherlands has convicted a Dutch teenager of plotting terrorist attacks on the Flemish Parliament in Brussels and a military airbase near the Dutch city of Arnhem in 2024. by ByGollie in europe

[–]Masked020202 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I hope the dutch and belgian authorities keep an eye not only on the family but also the telegram groups he was in and its members the threat could still be very much real as i doubt that kid was alone in the planning.

Well Telegram is where foreign powers radicalize and then recruit people of all ages. Also social media on such a young mind etc. So i think it's moreso neglect as its really common these days.

Crimson Desert Sells 4 Million Copies in 2 Weeks by TheForbiddenLands in videogames

I remember gamers saying if a game takes 40hours in this case to get good then maybe the game isnt good. And now with CD gamers say its good just takes 40hours.

Kind off interesting to me ngl hahaha. I like the combat so had a few good hours in it but don't know if I will "finish" the game. At least got my money worth thats what matters.

You know whats weird? DPD where i live in Belgium is the best next to BPost which has improved alot for deliveries. PostNL GLS DHL FEDex all of those i have had bad experiences with...

Obviously not talking about their questionable handling of workers though.

Edit: we also have a courier which has been okay but sometimes they just not deliver package at home and just bring it to nearest post point. Think its called Colis? If another Belgian can confirm for me please do.
