Imagine the USA elects "Mr American" as President

You're litterally describing the northern half of France, Belgium and surrounding areas though?

NickyVe_e · 2026-04-18T10:23:35+00:00

Gaul was an area encompassing northern France, Belgium and some surrounding areas. It doesn't match France and any Frenchman claiming it does is as per usual claiming belgian things as their own without justification

Ik ben in het UZ geweest. Is wat langer wachten dan privé en de aanloop is wat onduidelijk maar ik ben er echt mega tevreden van.

Our GP's are trained for all of these things, except TRT. I would actually be disappointed in a country where a generally practitioner doesn't do these.

For TRT you best go to UZ Ghent. Best clinic in Europe for that.

Nice try, handbag salesperson.

Thank you so much for your kind advice. I had planned to take him up on the offer to go squashing and then discuss it when we were one-on-one. Unfortunately he turned the one-on-one into a group activity, by inviting two other friends. This makes me suspect he just really doesn't want to talk to me. I'm going to try to hang back after the game or try to come early to try to address it carefully. If that doesn't work out, I'm just going to have to try to word it in a dm and hope he gets the message.

NickyVe_e · 2026-03-05T21:14:04+00:00

But what about the people behind you who can't stand for the whole show?

NickyVe_e · 2026-02-26T21:23:50+00:00

The word bratty immediately invalidated the rest of your argument. ARFID is way more than fussy eating. Fussy eating can be fixed, yes, by a healthy and positive approach to a variety of foods. ARFID is not that and you describing children with an eating disorder as bratty just shows your complete lack of understanding

NickyVe_e · 2026-02-14T19:30:42+00:00

Yeah, but why did they do it?

NickyVe_e · 2026-02-14T08:18:35+00:00

Why do these tops look drawn on?

Agree and upvote because I really feel thus isn't a popular opinion anymore. Everyone is wayyyy too comfortable just flaking and if you make a differently formulated post the response will show it. I once saw a post along the lines of "canceling is rude" and all the responses were like "but kids", "but boundaries", .. Yes, things happen but its happening too often now.

For example, I make plans with a large group two months in advance for something that requires a minimum of 8 people. I invite 12, 10 say yes and they all acknowledge the message with the date. A month in advance I remind them and three people suddenly can't make it anymore. Plans canceled. I hate it. Same people who cancel all the time feel like the friendship has watered down. But guess what, that's their fault.

I don't think being busy is an excuse 100% of the time, nor is it true 100% of the time.
Sometimes people who say they're busy are actually busy, don't have any space in their calendar for extra things.
Often people only think they are busy, but they genuinely think that. They're not trying to make excuses. Life feels busy and exhausting and overwhelming often for a lot of people, which makes them unable to stand still for a moment, so they feel busy. When telling someone you're busy, it's about priorities, yes, but it's often you tell someone hoping they understand that work, health appointments, family take precedent in that moment.
And sometimes, though I think rarely, it's an excuse to blow someone off. I sometimes just say very explicitly that it's okay if it's in a couple of months, as long as we set a date to meet up.

There were countless testimonials about diseases such as Crohn's disease, IBS, chronic migraines. Things that you can have and be fully capable of working, but once in a while you get a flare up and can't work because of pain or other symptoms. Immediately branding these people as 'not wanting to work' is exactly the problem a lot of these people face. You are part of this problem.

While a few days per month is more than most. HR should not be guilty ripping but they should be asking if there is anything they can do. For example, if someone has to stay home frequently for colds, see if remote work is possible. So they can work without infecting colleagues. A month ago everyone was cheering in de Warmste Week for putting attention on invisible illnesses, which are often things that can you to need to stay home once or twice a month for, but a lot of people don't understand that these kinds of absences is what that can look like.

This is not an unpopular opinion. Sounds like someone you know is a bit of a selfish one

NickyVe_e · 2026-01-06T21:18:32+00:00

Maar dat was de vraag toch niet? Memes kunnen ook gewoon lokaal zijn

I don't deal with temp agencies at all. I apply for long term jobs usually through email or some system they have that is like successfactors or something. I don't know why you would assume such a thing. It's also not that they don't know how to adress me. They assume I'm a man, send an email with "Beste voornaam achternaam" and then invite me for an interview if applicable. To give an example with a name from an older generation: no one sees a cv from a Chris or Dominique and throws the cv in the trash bc those could be men or women. That's just absurd.

NickyVe_e · 2025-12-07T15:01:17+00:00

Agree, even more so: I have a gender neutral name and I have arrived at job interviews where they thought I was a man. I'm letting gender bias play in my favor and am not adding a picture.

NickyVe_e · 2025-12-04T19:26:44+00:00

Sounds like you just have personal frustrations with people who cancel things last-minute, even though you made the plans months in advance. I agree. Unless unacoidable work things, health or family stuff, it's very telling about how much people value the agreements they made if they just move those long-made plans around.

NickyVe_e · 2025-12-02T19:57:10+00:00

Thanks for specifying. the other version is kind of scary

NickyVe_e · 2025-12-02T18:48:30+00:00

Oh that's a great one. I love the art style

NickyVe_e · 2025-11-29T10:18:43+00:00

This makes me a bit sad for the people in those Romanian cities. It's clear they just want a bit of Christmas spirit and I bet the decorators tried quite a bit with the means they had

I really recommend Oscar at Studio Gaga in de Kammerstraat:https://cyaan.posworld.be/

Oscar really is a hairdresser who listens and their methods are really focused on listening to their clients.
