Seeing people my age with kinds is gross (28M)

Getting to the age where I should be having kids. More and more, I see people my age with crotch goblins. But every time I'm disgusted by the look of it. Either it's a mother on her phone, trying to escape her kid in the stroller. Or an incredibly exhausted father spending more energy on his sex trophy.

I haven't seen a happy parent of my age. And every time I'm happy I had a vasectomy 2 years ago.

Those parents do not look happy in any way. You can see the exhaustion on their face, their walk.

Meanwhile I'm leaving the house whenever I feel like it. Buy whichever new project I want. It's wonderful to gain energy from the projects that I love. I'd need more goal driven people in my life.

Don't be shy to share what gives you energy and how enthusiastic you are about it.

Are banks allowed to send us ads based on our spending?

Many banks also offer insurance coverages for all sorts of things. Do they track our spending? Could they send offers for "cheap animal insurance" after seeing that you buy dog food online? Same for bicycle insurance, after seeing a lack of fuel stops at pump stations?

Or is it purely coincidence I'm getting these expensive and unnecessary insurance coverage advertisements?

Geopunt Vlaanderen but for Wallonia?

I often peruse available data for places I'd like to visit. For that, I love geopunt Vlaanderen. A lot of data free for everyone to see. Even an old fotomap of the entirety of Flanders in 1971!

​

Does the French and German speaking side have the same? I'm quite interested in railways. I'd love to see the data for the Vennbahn for example. The ironworks around Liège, the iron industry (Cockerill).

​

What's the geopunt Vlaanderen for Wallonia?

27 [M4F] Belgium/Europe relationship with distance. Give each other a safe place to rest

About myself: I'm energetic and goal driven. I will support any ideas of people who are driven to complete their goal. Doesn't matter the topic: if you aren't having fun, you're doing it wrong. Which brings me to neurodivergence, I have AuDHD, but very much under control, medicated and aware of what my strengths and weaknesses are. I'm probably the biggest morning person you'll ever come across. On days off work, I'm awake at 7. Going to bed at 21:00.

My looks: thin/muscular, blond hair (sometimes stupid), tall (1m90). Not into gyms, I prefer group sports, been doing judo for 20 years. Social aspect is as important as the exercise.

My debuffs: I need quite a bit of alone time. Life itself is exhausting, having the ability to be alone lets me recharge my energy. This is why I say a relationship with distance. I wouldn't feel bad if I haven't heard from you in a day. We've got our lives and are busy with our goals. But if one wants to relax, it's easy to reach out to the other person. No pressure to stay the night in the weekend. It's fine if you do, it's fine if you need to go home to feed the cats are your own place. Also no harm in dropping by unexpectedly and staying only 15mins. I really enjoy the quick "how's life? Let's drink a hot chocolate milk and be on my way again".

About you: Age range: 24-34. Equally goal driven. A healthy mind in a healthy body. someone equally curious for learning in life.

My languages are Dutch, English and French, French being the most difficult one to write, but I can manage.

Satire has died

I miss watching national television (VRT Canvas) on prime time and the presenters laughing with any and all politicians and other famous people. I laughed so hard with Michel Daerden, his witboek en groenboek (only God knows what he meant with these, may his soul rest in peace). Yves Leterme singing the Marseillaise, but actually being roasted for it.

When was the last time someone insulted Bart De Wever, Vincent Van Quickenborne or said "'t is de schuld van de sossen!" And we actually laughed about it. Nowadays it only creates arguments and throwing shit at each other.

I want satire to return to national television.

Dark blue with white letters written "LOTTO". Add a few stripes of pink. that would be the perfect livery for the cars.

Catering will be done by Let's Go Urban.

He can keep gambling and making money through that, we benefit from more teams in Formula 1.

Exploring the Belgian Ardennes. First time enduro riding, loved every moment of it. Make sure there is ground beneath your feet when you stop to talk to your friend. DR800 (1992) + Himi 450 (2024).
