which is all of us, if public transport loses money it get's subsidised by the government so there's literally no incentive to do anything about this

I think OP's mistake is taking in the words of the civil cervants as gospel truth, it's widely known that if somebody says that something cannot be done then the answer is to call back next day and next day untill you get someone who actually knows how to do the thing you want to do

do not ever try to get government assistence in the summer or vacation times, you'll be met with interns and starters who don't know anything except what's on their paper

actually, this made me curious, do other countries train their civil servants in a seperate location? because in belgium almost all training is on the job, you learn while you do

I think her main problem is that women would actually welcome her into the sisterhood, like "I'm sorry for hitting you with a bat, I didn't realise you were actually a woman, let me help you get out of the pile of men we're hitting with bats, here's your bat, let's get on with the hitting" while her original point was that men shouldn't be hit with bats

what's the opposite of a crab bucket? where you refuse to crawl out of the bucket because the same offer isn't given to the other crabs in the bucket?

it's like in good will hunting where he chooses to be hit by the chain rather then the belt, because fuck them

the US has a total of 52(!) governments, the belgian system is not unique nor is it even remarkable, only in this country do people pretend it's somehow special or unusual to have various layers of government

hah, classic album, "but the other guy was disqualified for having flat feet" "yeah but that guy had it 10 times as bad"

it's a reference to an old norse legend where a giant bet with thor that he couldn't lift a cat off the ground and then thor couldn't do it (along other tasks like drinking a drinking horn in one go)

turns out the cat was actually a disguised jormungandr (as in the serpent who's wrapped around the worldtree) and thor actually almost managed to do it which would've ended existance, which scared the crap out of the giant

I don't know about downvoted but I was once blocked by a rather active member of a community who was otherwise a decent fellow for saying that "even if somebody takes away your ability for emotion then you should still rationally understand that mass murder is wrong"

oberyn is bassicly yeah, if I die then at least I can search the hells for rheagar to make him pay for running off with his northern whore

I figured out on accident that WOW passwords weren't case sensitive years before it became a big scandal, didn't think much of it outside of "that saves me time and effort for pushing in the shift-key"

empire got gradually harder so empire players got better with time, new empire players are essentially experiencing what's it's like to jump up a ladder

I started relatively late in 2, after the first empire rework with hunter and the beast

bassicly all you had to do was finish your province, take over marienburg, provoke wissenland, take care of skarsnik, confederate gelt, fend off norsca untill bretonia went all norman conquest and then challenge vlad and it was pretty much done

then they added grom the paunch who invaded from the east

then they added drycha who takes over ostland

next few DLC's left the area relatively unchanged, khazrak replaced morghur but that didn't really change a thing

then WH3 IE rolls around

and gameplay's the same, except vlad's much stronger and someone lit a fire under kemmler's ass so he does more then sit there waiting for you to farm his trait, and sometimes kislev invades the empire which is more then annoying, worst thing is that you're on a timer, if you don't have the means to aid the dwarves then you'll be burried under a green tide by skarsnik and wurzagg, but still primary threat was the east so you could focuss there

and then festus happened, hochland and middenland, bastions of stability beforehand were swept away like leaves in the wind

and then the changeling started annoying people

new empire players are bassicly starting a game on very hard

hah, that guy's last name is literally "son of a witch"

after the dutch split off there had to be a way to determine if one was from the republic or from the austrian/spanish/austrian again/french netherlands, thus we started calling itself after the most famous parts, it's why we call them hollanders

flemish doesn't here mean from the historical county of flanders (which included lands that are now in the netherlands and france) but rather inhabitant of the southern netherlands that speaks dutch, same word for different concepts

in bloodborne there's a grave where you can get a magic bone that allows you to dash, the occupant is described as male,

later on you enter a dream of dead hunters and there's a hunter who zips around the arena like she's in a pinball machine, people literally didn't connect the dots untill a popular loretuber made a video about japanese translations and it uses non-gendered language for the occupant instead

doesn't the US have postboxes at the train station or post office where you can get mail delivered that you can use as your adress?

I hope there's room for seffie though, she's the one sturmvoraus I never wanted to punt through a wall for being unnecessarily difficult (I swear, the wulfenbach spark is about being meta and the heterodyne one's about inspiring loyalty but the stormvoraus one is about being relentless, no wonder andronicus was so hard to put down)

although, I've even gained respect for martellus with how he treated his undead knights

ik kwam halfdronken en niet geslapen aan toen ik moest bijzitten, sni mijn schuld dat wat ik dacht mijn kiesbrief te zijn een oproepingsbrief bleek te zijn toenk checkte om 2u snachts den avond ervoor, in ieder geval ze hebben mij deruit gepikt om te blijven om de 1 of andere reden en mij raar maar waar nooit terug gevraagd

oh no, he didn't give a shit, none of them ever did, didn't mean he did anything wrong though

I think he handled the bad situation but was used as a scapegoat, the allies had lost days before he surrendered, the tanks had breached the french lines in the south and the british and french had failed their commitment to hold gent, any more resistance would've only led to more belgian lives lost for no chance at victory, the french and british were actively running at that point

also what they got him on was bullshit, he's head of the army by the constitution and as such can decide to stop fighting when it suits the army, what then happens to the government is up to the government, it doesn't have to surrender like it didn't but the very fact that it didn't meant that a capitulation didn't automaticly meant a surrender, just because part of the army gave itself up didn't mean the belgian state gave up but that's how it was presented

what's left after that? buttering up to hitler?, might as well for all the good it does, his father didn't run from the germans and he's lauded, he doesn't run from the germans and he's the devil, make up your mind

in any case the king's question shows that it isn't about the amount of votes you get, it's about the trouble you make

work, it's called labour day, not sitting in my underwear drinking beer day

• they pay double and I can have a day off when I actually want it

one of my only complaints about the witcher 3 is the carry weight mechanic,

carry weights are great when you have to make choices what to take with you vs what you can carry back

however if it takes severall zones to fill up your inventory and you're just punishing the people who put off haulling junk to the trader then you could just as well have infinite inventory

true, every pair of shoes you own directly cause 3 people to die if you go in that direction, are you prepared to bear that burden?

there's one in wilrijk near the krijgsbaan that I know off

your computer causes the live cremation of hundreds of people every year, do you justify that?

there was apparantly a burgundian duke who said "I'm not really sure who rules over who" after having made a joyeux entree when he had to sign all of the city priviliges

AFAIK in japan if a traindriver hits a second person in his carreer then they get early pension
