Some days I have full-on puzzle retardation. Like I can't see ahead at all. Same with blitz games. I'm only 1000 rated at the 10-minute time control. Definitely have a better understanding of chess than that, but over the board I'm not seeing things.
I forgot what a lime was the other day.
 
Yes. His lawyer wants to have him released. In Belgium, a life sentence is never actually for life unless 1) you get locked up in a psych ward which can be forever (a very flawed system) and 2) your case is so heinous, the government uses a not-so-often used law where the criminal is in "custody" of the government until they deem you fit to re-enter society.

Now, even in a soft country like Belgium, Dutroux gets his bones broken in gen pop, so he's in ad seg for the rest of his sentence. Here's the thing: if he gets released, there's a good chance he gets whacked or at least beaten into a pulp. We're a timid people imo (I'm not fully Belgian, I'm a bit more ehh, temperamental) but the Dutroux case cut really deep.

Belgium has never been the same afterwards. I'm from 1990, so I've experienced Dutroux when I was old enough to realize what had happened, and young enough to be truly afraid of it. I still almost don't dare to look or wave at kids, just to make sure the parents don't get paranoid. When I was walking my ex-gfs siblings to a museum (they're under 10), I was really fucking vigilant not to let any man to close, and I always had an eye on people who possibly had an eye on them.

Then there's the fact there was an obvious cover-up in the Dutroux case. There are missing documents, witnesses committing suicide left and right, a lot of big names being mentioned, the fact that Dutroux had like 4 houses fully paid even though he was living off welfare...

His accomplice and his ex-wife have been released by the way. The accomplice got his ass kicked the first week of him moving out. He moved into a neighborhood with a lot of muslims. He got beaten up by teenagers, if I recall correctly.

I know Charleroi a little bit, and it's so grimy and desolate you wouldn't believe it.

This case is messing with my head.

Just dark.

Interesting post overall, but liked especially for "I'm from 1990."
 
@TeTe

can you tell me the grand total of how many times I've been reported?
 
Who's voting for Kanye then? We're already got a reality star in the white house, it can actually get worse voting a Kardashian husband in.
 
You lucked out. I've been thinking A LOT about Canada lately. I just don't think I could handle the cold all the time.
It rarely drops below zero where I'm at , rains a fair bit in the winter but nothing like Seattle
 
I hate them, my man. I hate them so so much.
There's a great deal to be said here, and i've spoken on this issue before, but it's particularly grating right for whatever reason. I tend to avoid trying to explain stuff on the internet when my dander is up; that's a recipe for gettin trolled (not by you). I've avoided the hell out of that current mascots thread, for example. Posting in that cesspool would just get me rage pwnt.
Here's a post from a while back of me breakin some stuff down for @Social Distance Warrior

I can speak more specifically about football mascots, if you'd like, but they all are a part of the same problem tbh.
They're setting their hair on fire in that thread lol

The funny part is that it's advertiser's putting pressure on Dan Snyder that'll force the change , and that just the free market at play .

You think that thread is bad? Try wading into that kind of selfish cesspool irl. Yeeeeeesh. People get so fucking aggravating about the fucking mascots. Drives me nuts.
Bu bu but the Washington Post paid for a "poll" of 500 people that said they love Native mascots!

Your position is that you'd like to see them all changed correct
