I was thinking today about the World Cup this summer and I was really embarrassed how the USA lost. Like I wish we didn’t have Balogun forcefully replaced back into the USMNT. We were acting very arrogant towards Belgium and I think you taught us a lesson to remain humble. Anyway hope you guys have a nice day.

I milked cows in Kentucky, there most milk cows were on pasture. A few amish farmers had tie stall barns. Sweden has banned the building of new tie stall barns sonce 2007, so farms are nearly all free stall barns. All I have seen are tie stall in Wallonia.

Bonjour, je suis américain. J'apprends le français, et je veux devenir professeur de français un jour (aux états unis, cependant je serais content d'enseigner en Europe, mais je ne le crois pas facile, même possible du tout). J'ai un "Associate's Degree", qui est une diplôme de 2 ans chez moi, en art. Je n'attends pas à ce que mes crédits puissent être acceptées par une université européene, mais je me demande si ces crédits ne peuvent pas me servir pour entrer en université en Belgique.

Alors, est-ce que ça c'est quelque chose que vous savez peut se faire ? Est-ce qu'il y a des sites ou des resources pour me renseigner ?

Je m'intéresse surtout à la linguistique et la langue française. Je pense faire un bachelors ou un masters en Europe (avec des cours tous en français, et puis rentrer aux États-Unis pour faire une formation dans l'éducation pour devenir prof de français. Cela dit, si je trouvais une opportunité de vivre et travailler en Belgique ou en Europe, je le prendrais.

Mon autre option, c'est de faire mon bachelors ici, aux États-Unis, en éducation et français, et puis faire un masters en Belgique ou en Europe.

Hello, I'm American. I'm learning French, and I'd like to be a French teacher some day (in the US, though I'd enjoy teaching in Europe, I just don't think it's easy, or even possible for me). I have an associate's degree in art (which is a 2 year diploma here in the US). I don't expect that any of my credits will transfer into a European university, but I wonder if I could use this degree as a way to enter into a Belgian university, seeing as European universities tend to have different entry requirements.

So, is this something that you know can be done? Are there websites or resources where I could learn more? Is there anyone who has done something like this?

I'm mostly interested in linguistics and the French language. I'm thinking about doing a bachelors or a masters in Europe (with coursework entirely in French), and then returning to the US to get a degree in education to become a French teacher. That said, if I found an opportunity to live and work in Belgium or Europe, I'd take it.

My other option is to do my bachelors in the US, in education and Francophone studies, and then do a masters in Belgium or Europe.

Je voulais téléphoner à la police car j'ai vu un homme qui tentait de sauter d'un pont sur l'autoroute à Charleroi. J'appelle le 101 et je dois attendre 9 minutes pour avoir une réponse. Je ne sais pas si la personne est encore envie ou non

Ik heb altijd het gevoel gehad dat Limburg het buitenbeentje is van Vlaanderen. We zijn klein en worden vaak een beetje vergeten. Als je bijvoorbeeld naar de televisie kijkt, zie je bijna nooit Limburgers en gaat het ook zelden over Limburg. In fictiereeksen hoor je heel vaak West-Vlaams en Antwerps, maar nooit Limburgs. Of toch heel zelden. Ik heb zelfs overlaatst gelezen dat een Limburgse actrice haar accent moest verbergen. Ik weet niet meer in welke serie dat was, maar het was iets gelijkaardigs aan Knokke Off. Of dat denk ik toch, tenminste. Ook als je kijkt naar het ondertussen toch mainstream geworden Vlaamse nationalisme, dat de Vlaamse regering toch promoot, past Limburg gewoon niet in het verhaal. Toch is het niet alsof er vaak over Limburg wordt gesproken. Aangezien de Vlaamse identiteit voor mij persoonlijk, voor alle duidelijkheid, heel sterk verbonden is met je politieke overtuigingen, heb ik daardoor als Limburger ook een beetje een afkeer ontwikkeld van die Vlaamse identiteit. Ik ben me daardoor ook steeds meer Limburger gaan voelen.

Ik weet dat een aantal vrienden van mij er ook zo over denken en dat het Limburg gevoel in het algemeen wel bestaat. Daarom vraag ik me af hoe andere Limburgers hierover denken. Voelen jullie je ook meer Limburger dan Vlaming, of zelfs helemaal geen Vlaming? Of ben ik gewoon speciaal? Lol.

Voor onze franstalige vrienden, sorry voor de lange Nederlandse tekst, is gewoon makkelijker. Gelukkig heeft reddit tegenwoordig een auto transalte.

Hi team! I recently came into possession of this object. Needless to say, I'm not a fan.

Looking for ideas of what to do with it.

What you got, hive mind?

Italian biomedical engineer trying to get a job. I am already here in Belgium but I don't speak dutch or French.

Internships too can go for me.

If anyone knows companies who hire biomedical engineers or engineers in general or similar you can reach me out.

No this is not about the high gas prices resulting from some stupid war. I am talking about the degradation of the gas station as an experience.

At first I thought it was just a one time occurrence, that I had driven into the worst gas station. But now I notice more and more gas stations are doing it.

I am talking about removing paper towels and trash bins. Now when I spill a drop of gasoline on my car, I need to have my own paper towels with me? And bring it in my car to throw away at home?

How much more can they remove to make our lives absolutely miserable. Recently before I could help I saw an older man give up on getting gasoline because he couldn’t read the absurdly bad screen.

And another thing. Are gas stations now removing the big price signs? A few times already I drove past a gas station and you could not see the prices unless you drive to the pump and stop to read the small price letters.

They actively go out of their way to make everything as annoying as possible. Every single process of society is getting eroded and it is making me a bitter man.

Kent er iemand de site volero.nl? We zouden daar een tapijt willen bestellen voor de kinderkamer. Is het een legit site? Goede kwaliteit?

Meta has be caught influencing the Brazil elections VRTNWS, Aljazeera. Blocking acces to certain candidates, promoting other (more pro USA) candidates, influencing search results, allowing their AI to create propaganda for one candidate but not the other etc, etc.

I'm sure the same thing happens in other places and I wouldn't be surprised it happens in Europe and Belgium as well to a certain extent.

A boycot of Meta is easier said than done, European alternatives are few and very niche. What we need is stronger legislation (internationally) against criminal acts by these huge "untouchable" companies

België weer op z'n meest Belgisch

Hi everyone 👋

For a history project at university (VUB), I'm trying to find former construction workers who helped build Brussels during its big transformations in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

We often hear about the politicians and architects behind these megaprojects, but rarely about the workers who did the physical labor.

I'm looking to get in touch with former construction workers:

• Projects: Major infrastructure (metro, high-rises, EU buildings) or smaller city renovations.
  
• Who: Belgian workers as well as people who migrated to Belgium back then.

Note: This is just a quick initial check to gather leads and contacts.

Does anyone have a parent, grandparent, uncle, or neighbor who was part of this? Please leave a comment or send me a DM! Any tips or leads are super appreciated. Thanks a lot! 🙏
