When trying to view anything potentially nsfw, I'm asked to verify my age with a selfie or government ID. I don't remember this happening before on Reddit in Belgium. It's just me?

In the past I used Finactum to get company data, but they went defunct.

If you need this type of data, for due diligences, sales, journalism, market research, etec, there seem to be many websites offering this kind of service.

First of all, the official data, the one and only https://kbopub.economie.fgov.be
There are other government related websites, like https://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/ ('official gazette') and https://consult.cbso.nbb.be/ for the annual accounts.

Secondly some international websites:

• OpenCorporates
• North Data (I like the visualisation showing the relation between people and companies

Lastly, national sites:

• https://trendstop.knack.be/ ($$)
• Data.be ($$)
• Bedrijfscijfers (recent)
• Kruispuntdatabank (offers dedicated API)
• Finactum (appears offline)
• Vindbtw.be (recent)
• www.staatsbladmonitor.be
• www.Companyweb.be

What are you experiences? Other sites you use for analysis?

De klimaatmars voorbije zondag was prachtig. Met minstens 45.000 mensen ruim dubbel zo veel volk als vorig jaar, en ik heb ook enorm goeie bordjes gelezen zoals "ik wil leven, Theo". Deze mars gaat waarschijnlijk niet genoeg zijn om onze huidige regering een shit te laten geven om echt klimaatbeleid, maar bon we zijn wel terug echt goed opweg om de aantallen terug op te bouwen naar het pre-covid record van 70.000 mensen in 2019.

2027 wordt verwacht om opnieuw hitterecords te verbreken... als dat het geval is verwacht ik nog veel meer volk op de klimaatmars in 2027, hopelijk genoeg dat politici ons niet meer kunnen negeren en hopelijk ben je erbij! Je wordt alleszins met open armen verwelkomd om er bij te zijn.

They did it. They finally brought a commercial spyware product to the public, after 5 years!

Hi everyone,

I'm an Italian citizen living in Belgium and registered with AIRE, and I'm hoping to get some advice from fellow Italians living in Belgium who may have faced a similar situation.

I'm trying to register for legal cohabitation (wettelijke samenwoning / cohabitation légale) with my partner. For this procedure, I requested a certificate of unmarried status (certificato di stato libero) from the Italian Consulate.

However, when I submitted it to my gemeente, they told me they wouldn't accept a certificate issued by a consulate. They require one issued directly by my municipality of origin in Italy, along with a certified translation.

The problem is that I can't download the certificate through ANPR either, so I'm not sure how to proceed.

I'm particularly interested in hearing from other Italians living in Belgium who have gone through the same process.

• Were you able to obtain the certificate directly from your Italian municipality while registered with AIRE?
• If you couldn't download it through ANPR, how did you manage to get it?
• Did your gemeente accept an alternative document issued by the Italian Consulate, or did you have to obtain the certificate from Italy?
• Is there a specific procedure for AIRE residents in this situation that I might be missing?

Any advice or personal experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I recently had a post removed because moderators claimed it had been manipulated to push an agenda. I disagreed, asked for supporting evidence, and provided instructions to reproduce my analysis and verify the results. The decision remained unchanged.

This made me wonder whether r/Belgium’s moderation favors certain political viewpoints over others. I’m curious about your experiences.

For clarity, I’m referring to viewpoints within the subreddit’s rules, excluding extremism.

We have a cat that wanders the neighbourhood. This morning, it snuck into our house and attacked our cat. My mom, trying to save our cat, tried to break up the fight but ended up getting attacked herself. The wounds were severe, needed stitches and antibiotics, and yet the owner of this cat is refusing to pay for the medical bills nor is willing to do anything to keep this cat inside.

Beyond frustrated. This cat is being neglected and is turning more and more aggressive as it becomes older. Yes he is neutered but that didn't change anything. Already called the police right after the attack to make a statement but they told us they don't do that for cat attacks, only dogs. Doctor gave us a note to use for getting payment but wtf do you even do if they just say "nah, not our fault. Can't keep em inside cuse he pisses everywhere.". WTF can we even do at this point?!

It's been years of me looking for a soft

sponge textured cake but all supermarkets around Brussels sell fennel cakes including au flan. Can someone recommend where I can get these, till now I only got one in a carrerfor in tervuren but it was diabetes 2 level of sweet and kind of stale

No surprises there, the pedophile is blaming drugs, porn, abuse during his childhood, and bad friends, but the pedophile thinks he's not a pedophile.

Disgusting piece of shit. Zero self-reflection and guilt.

I can't believe anybody thought it was a good idea to put this on television.

Hi, my aunt passed away in March and my family are trying to sort out her affairs and her estate. We have a friend of the aunt who was helping us but things are getting a bit awkward/tense with her. I was hoping if someone could point me in the right direction of a financial advisor of sorts who speaks fluent English and French. We have a Notare but there seems to be a bit of a barrier between the family, my aunt's friend and the Notare.

Any advice is hugely appreciated. Thank you very much.

It has been two months.

Two months of sleeping on the couch.

My ex and I from 10 years ago decided to part ways.

She's buying my share of the house.

But I can't leave, no one wants to rent to a nominated federal employee winning 1500€/month on sick leave, even with a safety pillow.

The "3x the rent should be >= a month salary" rule is putting more and more stress on low income population. The only thing I could afford is a student kot where I can't put my address on.

I'll guess I have no others choice left but to produce fake income papers...

I work as a freelancer, through an agency. You know the drill, they sent me to an interview, I aced it, signed a contract with the agency. I send them an invoice every month for the number of days I've worked, they invoice the client, I get paid by the agency.

In the contract it is stipulated that they pay me within 45 days of receipt of the invoice, and they are always late. I complained a few times, nothing changes, and finally they told me that because the client pays them late they can't pay me on time.

That's obviously not my problem but I offered them a reasonable solution - they will pay me a little bit more, and we'll update the terms to allow payment within 60 days. They have declined, and now I'm waiting to see if they'll pay me on time this month, but I'm not holding my breath.

So if they continue delaying my payments - what are my options? I guess there is some sort of small claims court (not sure what's the precise Belgian term), which would be a lot of hassle and may not be worth my time, but at least if I know what's the process, I can perhaps send them a credible threat by registered mail so they take me more seriously?

What would you do in my situation?

It pisses me off because they did a bit of work years ago (yes, I keep getting extensions to my contract) and now they are collecting a commission for literally nothing, yet refusing to be reasonable with the goose that lays golden eggs for them.

Binnenkort mag ik generieke testen doen voor een job via Selor, oftewel werkenvoor. De generieke test valt onder Categorie B.

Onderdeel van de test : situationele beoordeling , postbak en abstract redeneren.

Vallen die testen mee?

Iemand tips voor de postbak en situationele?

Is er iets waar ik zeker rekening mee moet houden of best extra aandacht aan geef?

For months I have been hearing about the climate march, and I was planning to go as well but an urgent personal matter came up so I couldn’t. This morning I opened some news sites to see how it went but I couldn’t find anything. Nowhere on the front page was there any trace of this climate march. With google I could find an article but I had to specify “klimaatmars de standaard”. Even then it just is some text about how many people showed up and a picture collection.

I have a hard time understanding why this is not more talked about or shown on news sites. The entire day already it is apparently top news that some dentist drove his fancy car into a waiting room. What the hell is going on?

Carry all my work stuff up the stairs. Notice I overlooked an elevator right beside them...

I am stupid.
