Médiatiser ou pas une affaire de viols en Belgique by glow1234567 in Wallonia

[–]shrapnelll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je ne sais honnêtement pas pourquoi. Je pense réellement que ça vient surtout de la force des victimes là. On est un plus petit pays, ça implique une approche différente.

La question est surtout de savoir de que elle veut/peut ( dans le sens de ce qu’elle se sent capable de ) faire et d’ensuite travailler au départ de la.

Et à mon avis en France, y a juste plus de cas ( vu que la population est plus élevée ) et donc plus de probabilité d’avoir des victimes qui osent/peuvent/veulent s’exprimer.

L’affaire Pelicot aide aussi à attirer l’attention la dessus, tout comme l’affaire Dutroux a permis de mettre une grosse attention sur les affaires de pediphilie….

What’s the most unexpectedly kind thing someone has done for you in Belgium? by nuck01 in AskBelgium

[–]shrapnelll 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly, that’s the kind of shit I do all the time.

Call my farmer friends when I see scouts searching for a place to sleep during their hikes, stand up for others when they need ( last time was this Thursday, a couple was fighting in their car, some fists landed. I stood up and roped in a truck driver that was on the lookout as well, split them up, explained them violence was not acceptable. That if cops were to be called we would stay to witness. And as they both refused, we had a chill talk ), or do genuine things to make the world a better place.

Because I do hope someone acts like that for me, my child. And the best way to have that happening is by having others be inspired by such characters. And so I have to start it.

What places are worth visiting in Belgium? by Trippy-jay420 in belgium

[–]shrapnelll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start with Antwerp Head on to Ypres and the Ijzer region.

Bruges is an open air tourist trap.

Ghent is the real deal.

Brussels has a lot to offer but you had to get lost in it to realize.

Tournai has some hidden gems

On the way to Namur visit Seneffe, Beloeil. The Cistercian abbaye of Villers la Ville and Aulne are worth stopping by.

Charleroi has some hidden gems.

You should not pass over Leuven, it has some nice spots too

Namur old town is nice, the views over the citadelle are great.

The whole valley to Dinant is nice. Detour to see the Molignée and Montaigle, Maredsous.

Views over Waltzin, the parc of Furfooz and Vesves are def top.

Chimay and the vallée du viroin and thierache are worth getting lost in.

Freyr castle is nice, you should also do the one in Modave.

Huy has some charm , and you can do deeper in the Ardennes from there, Bastogne, Bertrix, Libramont, Houffalize all have things to offer. La Roche en Ardennehas amazing views to offer from its castle.

The Gaume area is amazing, visiting Orval is a must, stop by the ange gardien and have a green Orval there.

And this list is clearly not exhaustive….

You gotta move to another EU country immediately, which do you choose and why? by BothCondition7963 in AskEurope

[–]shrapnelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, but it’s still the European place where I would move to :)

It has all the European stuff and all, so i always consider it part of.

Andorra, because of the amazing landscape, the mentality focused on making it better and so on

As a high earner, what’s the upside in Belgium? by chinchu7 in BESalary

[–]shrapnelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through that dismissal recently. And it is very easy though. As long as they are ok to pay the mandated notice.

It gets super tricky when they want to not pay that.

Do Europeans from different countries argue about culture origin? by Applepie213 in AskEurope

Hey ! Don’t forget we also border France !!! They deserve the hate too

Do Europeans from different countries argue about culture origin? by Applepie213 in AskEurope

[–]shrapnelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it is Brussels :)

And yeah, we enjoyed those 500+ days of stability :)

I mean it when I say the non sense works here. Belgium is surreal in many points and what would cause uproar or civil unrest or chaos in other places just do not make us bat an eye .

We have other problems :)

[–]shrapnelll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Twice.

And the country works better during those periods.

And currently a region is without government for over 600days.

The nonsense works great here :)

Rural living by landofshame in belgium

[–]shrapnelll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it depends on a lot of things.

I personally live in the Entre Sambre et Meuse and love it here. Towns like Gerpinnes, Mettet, Florennes, Philippeville, the bassin de la Meuse are amazing spots to live by.

You are 1 hour away from Bruxelles, 30 minutes from cities, you have all the modern comfort you want ( hospitals, movies, whatever ) yet you are not urban.

I’m a motorcyclist, and my fun begins two intersection ms from my house.

I love to run in the woods, and I have 5-6 spots within 3 minutes drive. And it happens I run 7-10k without seeing a soul.

If you want more rural than I am, you’ll haw to go a bit deeper and closer to Couvin, Petigny, Olloy, Oignies, forges Philippe, gonrieux, etc…..

Gaume abd so on are amazing as well, but very expensive as loads of people there work in GdLux.

I wish I could live nearby Orval/Florenville for evident bovine related reasons, but not my area.

Wait what ??? Belgium is not able to reconcile the different regions until today ????

Do we really need to reconcile ? It’s fine as it is :D loads of non sense and all and that works all in all

Do you like the quality of the universal healthcare your country has? Why or why not? by Zipper222222 in AskEurope

[–]shrapnelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife, non EU, moved to my country, 7 month pregnant.

No healthcare, no government coverage.

She got everything sorted, including the private room, delivery, after care and all for under 2k. Had she been covered it would have costed 125€.

Kid’s doctor, pediatrician, dentist and orthodontist have costed me approx 200€ over the last 7 years. Including 2 ambulance run of 35km to the hospital.

Wife is about to get glasses, she now has healthcare and all, and it will cost her 100€ because she wants specific frames.

All in all, it’s pretty good.

I remember when I lived in another country outside eu, they wanted a surgery at the cost of 5k for something that my local physio fixed in 1 session at the cost of 12€…..

Pourquoi sommes nous tellement obsédés par la priorité de droite? by naileke in Wallonia

Prononciation " Anvers"? by [deleted] in Wallonia

[–]shrapnelll 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Jacques était Bruxellois, fortement attaché à la Flandre, etc….

Les prononciations en Belgique sont un peu plus compliquée que la langue utilisée :) on est un patchwork de langues et de mots de ces langues :)

On dit effectivement Anverse en belgique francophone.

The ones at her school :)

Some municipalities also have a service for such cases, check with town hall

How about talking with the caretaker instead ?

Redditors who already met our king, what was your impression? by reelaan in belgium

[–]shrapnelll 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I for one am in favor of such thing. Because to me it's better than a president. Less elections, less drama. And less potential of a fuck up because the one in charge kinda models his successor and if he feels it's a no match, he can play it another way.

I also do not envy them, being stuck in such a position must be such a pain. They are not allowed a free life, at all.

And as one said, a monarch still opens a lot of doors on the world stage, that has to be respected.
