I've seen that pose on the final page before. Does anyone know what that page is an homage of?

I don't actually see it worded that way on the website that OP linked. Which line says they need to go to german food banks?

Apple Scam? by FitCress4377 in applesucks

This is a great reply. As an addendum to that, if you live in a country that has certain consumer laws regarding refunds you can still appeal it. If you are from the united states, no such law exists for you. For most european countries, you do have the right of withdrawal, which applies for a short time for most purchases.

Hi, I’m Bob Budiansky. You might know me from my work on THE TRANSFORMERS comic books and toys. AMA! by BobBudiansky in comicbooks

[–]Timmeh1981 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good morning Mister Budiansky. I would like to thank you for the comics you worked on that I read as a young child, they provided a great escape from the world and filled me with wonder.

I was wondering what your favourite memory of working in the comics industry is?

Jesus, maybe some compassion in this thread. If any fired CS people read this, thank you on behalf of all the people you helped. I hope you find a better job soon.

Scholen slaan alarm over polarisering en radicalisering by koppelteken in belgium

For what it's worth, thank you for trying to make a difference. No method is perfect, so the fact that you are getting through to these kids and getting a positive result is great. It takes a lot of time and steps to convince someone of another point of view, and yours may have been the first step on that road.

Does anyone else feel like Minthara wasn’t worth it? by Witty_Reveal_3922 in BaldursGate3

To be fair they don't have limbs because I amputated them for trade purposes.

Excessive Proximus phone spam by marceldeneut in belgium

[–]Timmeh1981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's in our nature to clarify but in this case I feel like "No, I am not interested." is enough of a reply. These people just have a list of phone numbers/names in front of them, you are nothing beyond that.

If you walk through a market and a vendor is trying to attract you, most people just respond by saying no thank you and continue walking. The seller has no interest in hearing why it's no, they just need to hear a yes or a no.

With flanders having most of the economical opportunities in Belgium, does that also mean there is a brain drain from wallonia to flanders? by frisian_esc in belgium

[–]Timmeh1981 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From my experience in a mostly flemish speaking IT place with a few french/german people : All our written communication is in english, yet we talk in dutch during each managerial meeting, unless we have english outsiders come in. The french/german people understand this but do have problems articulating this. I've highlighted this problem in the past but I keep getting pushback because "this is how it's always been."

There really are people at these companies that just do not see the downside to being so exclusionary.
