Just so you know. There is no such thing as Belgian waffles. Source: I'm Belgian.

Waffles are rarely zaten over here but we have two distinct types of waffles:

  • Brussels waffles - they're very light and fluffy. Traditionally served with powder sugar, whipped cream and strawberries.
  • Liegeois waffles - firm dough, bit moist with pearl sugar. You can top these with chocolate but generally people just eat them plain and hot. Straight out of the iron.

I do. I have my launcher set up just like I want it. Tons of gestures are configured to make my life easy.

I have some self written apps and ab decent amount of side loaded apps that aren't available in the regular play store.

I don't know any trans people personally. I support trans rights. I could use non inclusive language because I fall back on the default in some unguarded moments. If anyone feels offended by my language I would apologise but I tend to get really defensive when attacked for a slip of the tongue.

I see what you mean but please be patient with us.

Dude, half of my country has been ruled by elected socialist for 70 years now. Socialists have been part of the federal government since the 2nd World War and in their prime they formed a purple government together with the liberals.

Our most liberal party is struggling to get enough votes to participate in tge elections. What you're on about?

Sure. But, the Polish people seem to be happy with a far right representation.

I really don't care about left or right. I've been working with politicians the last 15 years and I've met socialist people on the far right and extremely liberal people on the left. The boring centrist seem to get it right more often but they don't get elected.

You're OK? Mind you that I'm from the EU and a daily bike commuter. I ride 25 km to work, every single day, and am very sensitive to the bike/car discourse. I really don't see the issue so please explain without getting rude.

The number of parties influences the percentual result.

You could say that in a 51/49 outcome 49% of the people isn't represented but it's still democratic.

I'm Belgian. We hold the world record in government foundations. I know how small percentages work and am pretty sure it's democracy at work.

Do I like it? Not really, but it still democracy.
