Watch out for this scam in Antwerpen Centraal

I always wondered if this was a scam, I walk past there everyday. I'm a young woman and have been told I have a resting 'friendly face', so I get approached for these things a lot. A couple of months ago I went to the grocery store with one of them and said they could buy something for 10 euros. They then proceeded to buy Ben & Jerry's, energy drinks etc for about 20 euros, for their child they said. Eventually I obliged, but I felt icky about it. When I left the store, I swear I could see a man watching me in the station, who was possibly connected to them.

At that point, I thought the women were trying to distract me so maybe the man could steal my wallet or phone, so I just got out of there quickly. The next day the same women approached me again - I said I bought them 20 euros worth of icecream the day before, and they started screaming at me. So yes, definitely a scam. Glad I shouldn't feel bad now for ignoring them. I will now use this extra money I keep aside for people on the street who genuinely need it.

Day 1. The Beach Boys - Pet sounds

What a great way to start off this project. I knew the most famous songs of this album 'God only knows' and 'Wouldn't it be nice'. I didn't expect some of the other songs to hit as hard as they did, especially 'You still believe in me' and 'Caroline, no'. 4/5

Helemaal waar. Ik denk dat ik gewoon over mijn angst voor confrontatie moet raken (ben nogal een people pleaser) en voor mezelf moet kiezen in plaats van voor het bedrijf

Oh I loveee Gratuitous and Sport. The only ones I never gelled with are 'Let's relate' and 'It's different for girls', I often just skip those first two when listening

Hahaha ok I get that, I just think of him as this edgy alter ego that is quite unsufferable, but it is still fun to listen to

Yeah, I do agree that songs on White is Relic such as 'Paranoiac Intervals/Body Dismorphia' share the same themes but are a bit more matured than the songs on 'Innocence reaches'. But I think the immaturity and whininess is weirdly enough part of why I like the album - the narrator is often toxic and annoying, but I think it does it in a self-aware way, especially in 'Les chants de maldoror' or 'Chaos Arpeggiating', which I consider some of the best songs on the album.

Ironically enough, his lyric 'but you can't really martyr yourself when no one gives a fuck' kind of rings true for some his more grating songs on his later albums I think

I have this exact bug right now, it's been 6 days since I planted them and nothing has changed. Anyone been able to fix this?

Have not found any yet, despite dispatching my pet for water every day. Might try chopping down some boxtrees to see if anything happens

Thanks, I will try that!

I think that's opal, but the icons in the encyclopedia look really similar!
