Thank you! This is amazing, I'm really out of the game lately.

Let them. The US should stop policing the entire world and forcing this image of 'we are the good guys' on everyone.

Nobody is buying this shit anymore. I'm tired of the entire world having to walk around US ego politics. The world has changed and we moved on from the US.

The way I see it, they have no abortion rights, corruption all the way up and down the ladder, police killing black civilians just for the fun of it AND getting off, their supreme court judges are corrupt, their prisons are just there for slave labour, no basic healthcare, disgusting minimum wages, .... No basic human rights essentially for anyone that has no money or is surviving.

Maybe the US should look more inward for the baddies for the next century, clean up your mess and then condemn other countries that you know, are just different from you?

Cunt. To go after people that have already lost everything. She probably wants to freeze them to death this winter. Instead of being human and helping them.

The ridiculous thing is, Africa is doing way better now, I would like to visit myself one day.

I love how they always MAKE themselves understood if they really want to. But ignore you and stare everywhere else except your eyes when you say 'bad kitty'.

I know Belfius still has a few ATMs inside the building, they do show your balance. During the day you can enter without swiping your card, but after certain hours you have to your card to get in.

Also, they have the banking app so you can always check your balance and do payments as long as you have a debit or credit card. Unless you have a special expenses card when in debt collection I think.

Soo...no more libgen?

Trust me, I moved to a rural region and understand half of what these people say and I was born here :) it's a tough language to learn, but you'll get there. Also Belgians are exposed to other nationalities since the 60's and know how to communicate non-verbally if they have to. Most of them have learned Dutch, French, German and know English.

Yes and the handmaid's tale solidified it.

Off topic, but there's something really really wrong with this guy. I don't like the continuous half smirk on his face. I don't like absolutely anything about him and find him creepy.

Not this.

It's very complicated, but I think the jihadist picked them, not the other way around. They were fleeing the country like flies.

I'm going to do some reading about it soon, since it's been a while and everything is hazy.

Oh, we have sooo many more sauces. And our fries are really the best. Right across the border, in the Netherlands, they even have peanut sauce for fries. I tried it and it was shit.

There's always a need for architects. For such a small country, people here are always building and renovating. Maybe try it out first with an architect firm here? You can always send your CV to a few firms and explain you'd like the experience.

But really do your homework on where exactly you want to live. Flemish/Wallon/urban Brussels, the coast or Limburg? If you've already experienced Germany, it's a bit the same here.

That's why lobbying should be okay, but excepting money and/or goods or even a cookie is corrupt. There should be an ethics code or something and every prosecutor in the country should go after every single one of them.

I used to work for the government here in Europe. It was really emphasized that accepting gifts from the public is never acceptable.

Then I worked for a nonprofit that had 1 person who had ties to the government in our board and even there, when a client brought me wine because I helped house them (my job), I had to decline and explain why.

It was harder, because they were refugees and didn't understand. I said the gesture was appreciated and I gladly helped them, but it could be seen as corruption and would jeopardize the funding of my organisation.

Afterwards I was laughingly bitching at my boss and colleagues about how I had to say no to good wine and it was blasphemy. So I got a few bottles of wine every year for my birthday from then on.

Was my first reaction too, how many dead children?

Edith Eger, The Choice. I was really depressed at the time and didn't want to read about the Holocaust. Although it was gruesome at some points, it really touched me how much she's made of her life and how positive her message still is.

How can this be legal? Sorry I'm a real dimwit today. Maybe Americans should focus on getting rid of lobbyists with money first. That'll get rid of a lot of problems.

Mark my words, history will remember this. We can practically watch it live with social media and so on. Wars are different now, since Ukraine. So it hits closer home.

Just hold your cats, dogs or children if you have them, close, bury your face in their bellies and take a deep breath...it really helps.
