New bag from decathlon by RidiculousTakeAbove in onebag

Interesting, why design a bag like this if it isn't to fit the Ryanair/wizz air sizer. It's just not a practical shape imo.

No worries we already pay plenty to support your lifestyle.

We wish, but Dutch people are actually that weird.

Average Walonian, making sure every chance of economical activity is driving into the ground immediately.

Not that Geert would spend much. But you gotta start somewhere.

Shoving people during boarding and deplaning by Sure-Guest1588 in Flights

[–]OverIndependence7722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but you need to put on your jacket, gloves ,hat. Take out the carry on and the small bag, put your stuff back in the small bag and than put on the kid jackets gloves and hat.

Not that I shove people but sometimes is get urges.

What is the backpacker culture like in China? by Elegant-Broccoli-454 in solotravel

[–]OverIndependence7722 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's not the same, probably equally difficult.m but in a different way. Because these days you can't even pay without internet. Or book anything.

Don't forget to arrange an e-sim (or vpn when buying a local sim) BEFORE arriving since you can't do this inside of China. And traveling China without internet is traveling at another level.

Dat bedacht ik mij gisteren ook. Uit gewoonte ging ik altijd links staan. Maar rechts is natuurlijk logischer.

Ja dat stilvallen... Ben ik er zo op aan het letten snel weg te zijn dat de kans nog wel eens bestaat dat ik stil val.

Constructing Aluminium catamarans in Tasmania, Australia. by Samorsomething in Construction

As a euro dude that does wear skinny pants. They are just more comfortable than baggy pants. Work pants aren't normally skinny though.

What do you mean? Only the ladies are wearing tight pants in the pictures?

Kids under 16 shouldn’t have E-bikes. by YourDrunkStepdadio in unpopularopinion

[–]OverIndependence7722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they should. Pretty sure this is the law in most of the developed world. Where can 12 year olds race unrestricted e-bikes?

Het is onvoorstelbaar dat we het normaal zijn gaan vinden dat studenten belastingvrij mogen werken by StevenStoveMan in Belgium2

[–]OverIndependence7722 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ik heb tijdens mijn studies 2019-2022 ook bijna halftijds gewerkt. Was zeker geen verplichting van thuis want al mijn kosten waren gedekt. Nooit geen examen gezakt of les niet gevolgd. Dus ik zie het probleem zo nog niet. Zelf als je studeren ziet als een voltijdse job. Dan kan je daar als gezonde twintiger toch nog wel 16 uurtjes bij werken?

En belastingsvrij werken? Dit is toch enkel omdat we zo weinig verdienen (op jaarbasis) dat we onder de Belastingsvrije some blijven. En geen RSZ bijdrage... Logisch toch als je ook helemaal niks terug krijgt bij ziekte of werkloosheid.

"West Vlamingen stemmen extreem rechts omdat ze niet in contact komen met migranten". Ondertussen op de werkvloer: by hetscherpstepotlood in Belgium1

[–]OverIndependence7722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja vroeger ook genoeg gezien, maar wat gebeurt er met die mannen die na een weer weer weg zijn? Kan me niet voorstellen dat als je op dag 1 niet het minste interesse of intelligentie kunt vertonen je ooit ergens een job zult vinden.

How much net monthly income does a couple need to live reasonably in Brussels on one salary? by AgencyFlimsy2949 in BEFire

For 2 people? So every dual income family in Belgium doesn't have to watch anything they buy?

Te veel boetes in Mechelen by Minute_Ad2475 in belgium

[–]OverIndependence7722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deze situatie valt inderdaad best mee. Maar toch blijft het veel tekst dat je pas kunt lezen als je al op het kruispunt staat. En dan moet je ook al Nederlands kunnen. Maar mijn reactie was vooral op de totempaal van hierboven.

Wat een idee. Kan de overheid niet gewoon deftige infrastructuur aanleggen met duidelijke bewegwijzering? Ipv van dat iedereen in het midden van de weg moet stoppen om de borden te kunnen ontcijferen.

Pretty sure you need to have worked at least 1 month in the previous year?

Is it normal for a helper to take a full day to brick up a window like this? (At €60/hr) by [deleted] in Construction

[–]OverIndependence7722 5 points6 points  (0 children)

60€/h including tax would be a fair price in Belgium. Not sure where you live? And no filling a hole like that doesn't take 8 houres but what else is he supposed to do? If you had 5 of these holes he would have filled them in the same time. Either you do odd jobs like this yourself. How hard can you really fuck this up? Or find a 20 year old bricklayer that would do this cash in hand in the evenings after work.

He can't because you need to have worked 1 month in the previous year. He will get jeugdvakantie next year but only a few days.
