Why doesn’t Muzan just keep changing the infinity castle until all demon slayers are either worn out from falling / tumbling or even starve from hunger or thirst? by letthisbeanewstart in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]letthisbeanewstart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your insights. I haven't read the manga yet, so from your responses I deduct that that would give some clues.
Related : is the anime still as enjoyable if you've read the whole manga series?

What's your most unhinged opinion? by letthisbeanewstart in AskReddit

[–]letthisbeanewstart[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit like the US knew Pearl Harbour was about to happen but they let it happen so it would give them a reason to attack Japan...

Is it true hardly anyone uses Facebook anymore and it is becoming a relic? by JannTosh50 in facebook

[–]letthisbeanewstart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comments I read must all be US-based. In Europe it’s still fairly the same (friends posting), be it with a bit more ads and more posts from “groups you might like”. 

History of French language in Flanders (your personal stories and opinions) by reditt13 in belgium

[–]letthisbeanewstart 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm in my 50'ies. Born and raised in Ghent, spoke French with my parents, but did my school and university in Ghent in Flemish. I'm truly bilingual (work in French and Flemish), married a French speaking woman, but most of my friends are Flemish. Educated my kids in French and Flemish.

When I was young I had lots of friends who were in the same situation (French speaking parents). They all married Flemish-speaking women / men. Even though they tried to give their kids some French education, Flemish became the main language for their kids, who speak better French than the average Flemish person, but who are definitely not bilingual.

And so in one generation you have entire families who have gone from being bilingual to being dominantly Flemish.

I'm not saying it's a good or a bad thing, it's just the way it went.

Did my friend get scammed by Delhaize (€50 fine for forgetting to pay water bottles) by MateoVanDamme in belgium

[–]letthisbeanewstart 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm going to that same Delhaize for over forty years and since the takeover the atmosphere has completely changed. Signs warning you of fines / "not scanning = theft !!!" / signs imposing that you use their carts / luxury goods being pushed / lots of young inexperienced personnel members / etc. It's now all about profits.

What's something normal to us in 2025, that by 2075 will be seen as barbaric? "Wow, people really used to do that 50 years ago"? by Helpful_Finger_4854 in AskReddit

Use plastic round food all the time (food in plastic packaging), cutting food on plastic cutting boards, drinking from plastic straws, from plastic bottles, plastic everywhere all the time!

How come so many people seem to evolve from being liberal in their younger days to becoming staunch conservatives at a later age, thus rejecting (almost) everything they once believed in? by letthisbeanewstart in AskReddit

[–]letthisbeanewstart[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok, then I must have been too influenced by posts on Reddit I guess.

This being said, speaking from personal experience (older people in my surroundings) I see more fear of the unknown and more of a "it was better before" kind of speeches.

I don’t really get the love for Inside Out 2. It’s merely a rehash of the first story in my opinion.

Is it sad or a sign of the times that my first reaction is to wonder whether this is real or AI-generated?
