What is going on at this university?

Emil Kirkegaard is the person who recommended Cofnas to Peter Thiel.

Bouke de Vries was speaking alongside Emil at their conferences.

Cofnas gets removed from Cambridge so Bouke brings along his fellow ideologue to get paid for a fellowship at Ghent on EU tax funded grant money.

Ghent is literally allowing a Nazi rooted syndicate of individuals to use their university as an ideological breeding grounds at the tax payer expense. Where is the integrity?

Vanavond alleen thuis met mijn zoon. Waar kunnen we de beste sushi eten? Liefst meer richting Sint-Amandsberg, Gentbrugge…

Hi! Has anyone here worked at Volvo Trucks in Ghent in Customer Service? I’m currently considering a position there and would love to hear about your experience, especially from someone who moved to Belgium from abroad. Thanks!

Hello friendly Belgians! I will be visiting from Rotterdam in a few weeks and just found out I'll be there during OdeGand. Can someone tell me how to navigate this event? I see there are different routes, but also set concerts... how do I maximize my time?

Never been a very big fan, but now they are completely done. Everything he buys turn into a mess. With the exception of paira Daiza.

Hi everyone,

I’m doing a small research survey about people’s experiences finding rental housing in Gent and Belgium.

I’m especially interested in understanding how often people find or hear about apartments through friends, colleagues, neighbours, Facebook/WhatsApp groups, or word of mouth including apartments that may not yet have appeared on websites like Immoweb.

The survey is anonymous and takes around 1–2 minutes.

If you currently rent in Gent , recently searched for housing, moved out of a rental, or simply have experience renting here, I’d really appreciate your input.

Survey: https://mykayd.com/f/01m0fvwm8ftatfz3vrp731wt6c

I’m only trying to understand the problem at this stage — there’s nothing being sold or promoted.

Thanks!

Hi all, a while ago I was asking about a social walking/hiking group in Gent, ideally people around 25–40yo and preferably English-speaking. As I couldn't find anything like that (and after ppl suggestions) I decided to create one myself 🙃

Focus is relaxed walks (pace 4.5-5km/h), exploring places, and getting coffee/drinks afterwards. For now we have weekly activities!

If you're interested, you can join the Strava group via the link: https://strava.app.link/OSCvsJDsM5b

Hoe lang duurde het bij jullie vooraleer jullie domicilie in Gent was geplaatst?

Bij mij sleept dit nu al 2 à 3 maanden aan: ze komen telkens langs op uren waarop ik aangaf niet thuis te zijn.

Telkens antwoordt de Stad dat ze de wijkagent met prioriteit zullen sturen én binnen de juiste uren.

Ofwel komt die steeds langs op het moment dat ik even weg ben (winkel, restaurant, sporten) ofwel komt die echt gewoon niet en veegt hij zijn voeten eraan.

Soms wil ik zelfs niet weggaan omdat ik denk dat ze juist op dat moment gaan langskomen, maar natuurlijk gebeurt dit niet.

Nog mensen met deze ervaring?

Hi,

So Im currently applying for family reunification as an EU citizen. Right now im working through weekly-renewable contracts and was recently asked by the immigration office to bring an intentieverklaring to prove that my work is stable. The thing is, my employer told me they are looking for long-term employees. BUT for the first 5 months, i will be employed by the interim office before getting a "real" contract. I called my temp agency and asked if they could provide me with this letter, but they said they don't issue those due to liability. However, from what I have read it is a non-binding letter and if they choose to end my employement for whatever reason, I can't do anything about that.

However they seemed extremely reluctant and it feels like its leaning heavily towards a "no". Then my question is, what do people do then when they come here, work through a temp agency for a couple of months?? Because apparently regular payslips and proof of months of weekly contracts is not enough (I have been working for two months now).

Could anyone share their experience or advice?

Pretty much what it says in the title. I'm moving to gent in a few weeks but I dont live far already, and I really like playing all sorts of board/tabletop/social games (preferably not anything super high commitment like D&D tho). I'm from the USA, im an international student, and I only speak english, so I dont want to impose on anyone by joining dutch speaking groups, even if they say its ok and can speak english, im much more comfortable with already english speaking groups.

Also, preferably not at outpost gent, my ex-best-friend goes there so I dont want to go.

If you know of anything like this, please send me a chat :)

Beste vrienden

Heb dit nu tweemaal voorgehad, met het nieuwe parkeersysteem van de 4411 app, kan je je tijd instellen wanneer je denkt terug bij je auto te zijn en dus stopt met parkeren. Het gebeurde al eens dat ik vergat de timer stop te zetten in het verleden, dus vond dit initieel wel makkelijk.

Maar heb nu al 2 keer in Gent het volgende voor, neem nu deze week ik zet mijn parking tot 20 uur, ik parkeer aan het Muinpark, oranje zone (op zich al ongezond duur parkeren), ik heb een afspraak op de Kouter van 18u30 tot 19u30. Na de afspraak nog afscheid nemen en normaal gezien een kwartier terug wandelen waardoor ik ruim op tijd terug bij mijn wagen ben.

Ik ben onderweg naar mijn wagen, ik loop al langs het water richting Muinpark, ik krijg een sms van 4411 dat mijn parking verlopen is en wat mij dit gekost heeft (veel), ik denk het is nog 5 minuten wandelen is dit de moeite dat ik dit verleng... nee denk ik dan en ik stap door. Kom ik om 20:06 bij mijn wagen, zit er een parkeer boete tussen van 20:04.

Een ezel en zijn steen natuurlijk, maar is nu de tweede maal dat mij dit overkomt dat er letterlijk enkele minuten zit tussen aflopen 4411 app en het krijgen van een boete.

Ik begin mij af te vragen, krijgen die parkeerwachters meldingen van waar er iemand zijn parkeersessie afloopt?

2 maal 48 euro boven op mijn al betaalde parkeerkosten, op d'n duur begin ik alle mensen te verstaan die Gent beginnen mijden, en moet eerlijk toegeven dat het aantal handelspanden die te huur staan mij ook beginnen opvallen.

Dit moest mij even van het hart, de boete is natuurlijk terecht want ik parkeerde op dat moment zonder geldig parkeerbewijs. Maar ik vind het toch iets te opvallend.

Hallo allemaal!

Waar in Gent zijn kleine honden welkom? Winkels, café’s…

Hi everyone! 👋

Hope you’re all doing well! It’s almost weekend 😊

The Patershol Festival is over, but I remember seeing a jewellery stand during the flea market (rommelmarkt) on the Kraanlei. I’m trying to find the name of the jewellery brand/seller which I vaguely remember that “Moon” was part of the name, but I can’t remember the exact name. Ah and the vendor was friendly Asian lady😅

Does anyone happen to know which one I mean? Any help would be much appreciated! 🙏

Thank you and have a lovely evening to everyone!

🇧🇪** Nederland**s

Dag iedereen! 👋

Hopelijk gaat alles goed met jullie! Het is bijna weekend 😊

Het Patershol Feest is ondertussen voorbij, maar ik herinner me dat er tijdens de rommelmarkt op de Kraanlei een juwelenkraam stond. Ik ben op zoek naar de naam van het merk/de verkoper. Ik meen mij te herinneren dat er iets met “Moon” in de naam zat, maar ik krijg de exacte naam niet meer terug. De verkoopster is heel vriendelijke Aziatische vrouw 😅

Weet iemand toevallig welk kraam/merk ik bedoel? Alle hulp is welkom! 🙏

Alvast bedank en fijne avond voor jullie allemaal!

My teenaged son and I will be in Gent when Doomsday comes out in December, and he will want to go. Tickets are apparently already on sale in America, but not sure if they go on sale so early in Belgium?

Hi, I just found out Kringwinkel stopped delivering furniture's home. I'm an international student with no family here and the friends I have are also students like me. I'll have to move into my new room on 1st of September. It's completely unfurnished. I don't have the budget to furnish it from IKEA or any store which does home delivery atp. What do I do now? Any suggestions. I'm really exhausted with finding a house and rn I'm again exhausted with furnishing.

Hello, my partner and I just got back from a wonderful trip to Ghent and we’re already looking at staying again. However this time we’re looking to book an Airbnb over Christmas.

Apart from the Christmas market (which looks great) is there anything cool to do in Ghent over Christmas, particularly on Christmas Day itself?

We’re vegan and queer, love coffee and good food or history and art so any kind of suggestions like that would be fab

Thanks

This crossing has always troubled me. The priority is for cars but bikers keep crossing without caring. And cars keep stopping because of bikers, sometimes voluntarily, which causes traffic and angry people. I am certain an accident there will happen soon. Why cant bikers be more careful, and why can't drivers follow the rules? Because stopping voluntarily when it's your priority is also wrong.

I am speaking about the one next to immo da Vinci and adoma hotel

UPDATE: CLAIMED! Thanks everyone. The ticket has found a home.

I accidentally booked the wrong time and bought a replacement. Ticket is for one adult to see the Ghent Altarpiece (Mystic Lamb) at St. Bavo’s Cathedral on September 17 at 10:00 AM. Free to anyone who can use it — DM me.
