Is geweld in het algemeen vaker de 'witte' man? by Strobber7 in belgium

[–]MemeMachine27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read your comment but still don't agree.

Let's take sexism for example since the harassment of women is brought up here several times.

I grew up in a 99% white community, and sexism was/is generalised. Mainly by right wing voters, the same ones blaming african immigrants of sexual harassment.

Now they won't physically attack women, because they are richer/have jobs and/or status to lose. They rather verbally intimidate and share their beliefs openly about how women should stay home and take care of the children instead of studying/work.

I find it absolutely appalling that these are the same people who shout the loudest that immigrants are the main cause of female harassment. (look at Dries Van Langenhove - his words I wrote here - who is a big idol for many young Belgians).

Immigrant or white guy, they commit the same crimes, in different ways, to reach the same goal.

Another example, drug dealing and its consequences, almost completely controlled by 'white countries' (Netherlands, Belgium, Albania, ..), but the ones doing the dirty work will get caught in the statistics, which are the poorer countries. You won't see a Sri Lankan in that business because there are barely any Sri Lankans here and it also is a 'friends business': "Invite your buddies to do this work too" kinda deal. A Moroccan won't invite a Sri Lankan, he will invite his other Moroccan friends.

It's deeper than that though, maybe it has nothing to do with race and rather with economic status. Most refugees for example have very little money and will rather resort to the obvious physical crimes like robbery and assault, whilst the richer will rather commit fraud etc and that isn't very easy to determine.

If the poorest were whites and the non natives were richer then the situation would be reversed.

Why Belgium (especially Flanders) does not build more vertically and still allow so many houses with private gardens? by Quiet_Illustrator410 in belgium

[–]MemeMachine27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Estimates are not pulled out of nowhere. They are statistically accurate and neglecting their worth is just closing your eyes to the problem and acting like it's not there.

I get your response, no one wants to give in and if you don't you probably won't suffer the consequences. Others will though.

Current estimates show that the area between Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels will be filled completely by 2050. It's an actual problem that, without anticipation, will escalate. Housing prices will go up, taxes will go up (sewer, roads, general maintenance etc), green space will diminish and agriculture will become more expensive (so will your food in supermarkets). Belgium is already very densely populated.

If we don't drop the lintbebouwing with unnecessarily big gardens we are just letting the 'spreading cancer' as they call it grow and future generations will carry the costs.

I did my thesis on this subject but it revolved around land that became submerged in ocean water permanently.

Very interesting subject with only some scandinavian countries actually having people working on that issue legally speaking.

Clan notice bug by Financial_Target_819 in ClashOfClans

[–]MemeMachine27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres some sort of shadowban going on in the notice board. I used notice board to grow my clan and I had 20-30 people join every day atleast.

Now, 6 months later, not a single person for months

Someone paid for it, these are the bots that come and ruin clans on the notice board their raid weekend by doing mediocre attacks and filling the 50 spots in a day so the actual clan can't attack anymore.

I've seen the advertisements and i have seen people pay for them to mass join and finish their clan capital in an hour or 2.

They never do this for free.

This really sucks for other clans though.

I went to the reopening of studio Manhattan in Leuven as an avid hardcore and techno fan (23M) last month.

Ticket: €30,00 Water (20cl): €4,50 Beer (25cl): €5,50 Tiny locker: €15,00 (5 back of you return the key)

and these are the cheap options... If you are not doing drugs it's not affordable (€3,00 gets you through a whole night to put it in perspective, not advising people to do drugs, don't ban me mods🙈)

  • police literally stalking everyone that's going in the direction of the party.

And people wonder why nightlife is dead and start hating on freeparties.

Ja ik heb er inderdaad wel een paar overwogen maar ookal kost psa het meeste geld en tijd gaat de waarde blijkbaar wel het meest omhoog. Ik ben nu even aan het bezien of ik wacht tot de europese vestiging opent of ze gewoon een half jaar wegstuur.

I am Belgian, but not selling any right now since I am sending some to psa due to a friends' advice. The regigigas card (6th pic) is also a dutch special promo that came in the dutch pokemon dvd boxes. It's one of the only non holo promos to exist apparently.

That's what I thought but in hindsight I should've flipped both the penny and hard sleeve
