I wouldn't do that but something similar. Also go into the past. Get rich. Befriend the parents of Elon Musk, Travel into the future. Get to Elon Musk and show him photographs with me and his parents. Explain alot of things to him but leave the time travel completely out of it. And he would build something for me.Bunch of noobs, I would go into the past, win big at the lottery and fund NR generously to give him free hand with his passion project. And live a life or riches myself obviously...
And while i would fund naughtyroad through live and already would have convinced him of steam and some big deals in the porn and adult industry including Virtual Reality and other mechanical almost real life experiences.
I WOULD HAVE MY SIERRA BOT BY NOW!!!!!!!

No .. Thinking he's from the netherlands, i'll guess the south like Brabant (province in the south of the netherlands) (btw i'm from the north-east province Drenthe in the netherlands)!He could be a French speaker, you just assumed Flemish

Indeed, he or she could be French or German speaking. A lot of Belgian people are bilingual though.He could be a French speaker, you just assumed Flemish
Some off-topic trivia and nitpicking for the general education of the denizens of F95zone: a slight minority of the Belgians is Flemish, but they don't speak Flemish because it's not a language. The Flemish speak Dutch.

Ouch. You're right of course. I meant "a slight majority".
I've heard some people from Belgium say they speak Flemish though, I'm aware that it's Dutch but I say Flemish just because of the people who I've encountered from the region who refer to it as such, or Flemish Dutch. The way I understand it the differences are somewhat analogous to British and American English, where of course it's the same language but with pronunciation differences and a few words that are different, like "biscuits" vs "cookies", etc. Maybe that's an oversimplification and I need to talk to more people from the region before making jokes about it. Also some Belgians are even trilingual, must be fun. I'm trying to get there, but my parents opted not to teach me my native language growing up and I'm being really lazy about learning Japanese, even with the motivation of watching anime and playing eroge without translations. At least I had a good French teacher in high school, so I'm almost there lol.
I'd say that's true. While it's Dutch, and both groups have very little problems understanding each other and there's plenty of cross-influencing, I think the Flemish rightly identify themselves as a separate cultural group from the Dutch, with it's own rich and unique literary, musical and cultural achievements. So, I think you can speak of Flemish (for that part of Belgium) or Dutch (for The Netherlands), and if you want to refer to the combined thing, it'd be "Nederlandstalig" or "of the Dutch language" rather than Dutch.

For example the english word "surely" the Flemish people saying "zeker en vast" and the Dutch people will say "vast en zeker"

Flemish is more of a Dutch dialect than a separate language.
In my opinion (being Dutch), Belgians who says they speak Flemish rather than Dutch do so mostly to emphasize their Flemish identity.

Flemish is a cluster of Dutch dialects, not a dialect on itself.
Some may say they speak Flemish, but that would be akin to a citizen of the USA saying he speaks American.
Flemish nationalism may be a factor in this.

Sure, there are a lot of examples like that. Doesn't make it a separate language though.For example the english word "surely" the Flemish people saying "zeker en vast" and the Dutch people will say "vast en zeker"

About the little problem understanding each other, you might be surprised. When me and my wife visit the Netherlands, we use our dialect as a secret language between each other
. Same goes for some dialects spoken elsewhere in Flanders. I can hardly understand them

The comparison between British and American English is spot on. But an American won't say he speaks American, or do they ?
To clarify, all I wanted to say is that linguistically speaking Flemish is not a language. It's a collection of dialects which are spoken in Flanders. So when somebody says he speaks Flemish, I would wonder how that would sound like.
Okay, my bear jealousy is now at an all time high. Damn you, bear.

Actually that's a great point, the bear is really a Russian Nesting Bear.
For reference, the bear in this game is actually the smallest one. They wanted to add Macy into their nest so the smallest bear wouldn't be the smallest anymore.

I KNEW IT! This bear has a hidden agenda. A secret plan. This was no coincidence with this bear, in this scene, in this game....Actually that's a great point, the bear is really a Russian Nesting Bear.

Flemish people in general don't make a big deal about what you call it, either way is fine. Just don't say a Netherlander speaks Flemish they'll more than likely correct you on it, not in a bad way of course, so calling it Dutch is prob easiest.
For reference, I'm Flemish and if you count English then quite a few ppl are trilingual, German not so much.
