Debate Night: Sex Positivism
For much of modern history, conversations about sex have been shaped as much by silence as by expression. In many societies, desire was confined to narrow norms, regulated by religion, tradition, and law, leaving little room for individual agency or open discussion. The sexual liberation movements of the 20th century challenged these constraints, advocating for dismantling of stigma. What followed was a profound cultural shift: topics once considered taboo entered public discourse, and personal freedom in matters of intimacy became a widely embraced ideal.
Today, we find ourselves in a very different landscape, one where the boundaries of that freedom continue to expand and evolve. Norms are being renegotiated in real time, and practices once seen as fringe are increasingly visible, discussed, and, in some cases, normalized. This raises an important question: how do we assess the direction and impact of these changes? As society continues to redefine its relationship with sexuality, the line between liberation and excess becomes a subject of growing debate, one that invites us to reflect not just on where we came from, but on where we are headed.
This debate will follow a British Parliamentary format with eight debaters split into **four teams of two.**
Participants who wish to speak are highly encouraged to bring a paper and pen. You are welcome to participate even if you have no prior debating experience.
We aim for debates that are respectful, constructive, and welcoming:
* **Respect ideas and people** Listen actively, stay quiet while others speak, and debate arguments, not identities or beliefs.
* **Be concise and civil** Keep questions short and relevant; avoid hostility, hate speech, or discrimination.
* **Respect boundaries and time** No unwanted advances or suggestive behavior; arrive on time to avoid disrupting the debate.
* **Follow moderators** They guide the discussion and ensure fairness.

**Soirée débat — Cuba : l’échec du communisme ? Aux radical-chic européens ne reste-t-il que la Corée du Nord ?**
Cette semaine, notre discussion porte sur Cuba.
Depuis la révolution de 1959, l’île est gouvernée par une dictature communiste.
Pendant des décennies, Cuba a survécu grâce au soutien économique de puissances alliées, d’abord l’Union soviétique, puis le Venezuela, l'Iran, la Chine.
Aujourd’hui, l’économie cubaine traverse une crise profonde : pénuries alimentaires, coupures d’électricité, inflation, migration massive et dépendance énergétique. La fin du soutien pétrolier vénézuélien ont accentué une situation déjà dramatique.
Dans le débat public occidental, Cuba est souvent présentée à travers des récits simplifiés :
– soit comme un symbole romantique de résistance révolutionnaire
– soit comme un exemple caricatural d’échec politique
Notre objectif n’est pas de répéter ces récits.
Notre objectif est de comprendre.
***
### **Topics We Cover**
Nous analyserons la situation cubaine à travers plusieurs angles :
**1\. Le système politique cubain**
Comment un régime communiste à parti unique a-t-il maintenu le pouvoir pendant plus de six décennies ?
**2\. L’économie cubaine et ses limites**
Pourquoi l’économie planifiée cubaine produit-elle pénuries chroniques, dépendance énergétique et faible croissance ?
**3\. Les sanctions américaines**
Quel est l’impact réel de l’embargo américain ?
Affaiblit-il le régime ou renforce-t-il sa légitimité politique ?
**4\. La fin du soutien vénézuélien**
Quel rôle le pétrole subventionné du Venezuela a-t-il joué dans la survie du modèle cubain — et que se passe-t-il lorsque ce soutien disparaît ?
**5\. L’avenir de Cuba**
Transition politique, réforme économique progressive ou stagnation durable ?
***
### **What Makes This Different**
– Nous privilégions les témoignages de personnes originaires ou connaissant directement la région
– Nous examinons ce que les médias simplifient ou ignorent
– Nous encourageons les désaccords argumentés et les perspectives contradictoires
– Nous analysons les intérêts, les rapports de force et les réalités économiques — pas les slogans
Ce n’est pas un espace de propagande.
C’est un espace de réflexion.
***
### **Why This Forum Exists**
À Bruxelles, plusieurs initiatives proposent des débats structurés.
Trop souvent, cependant, un petit cercle détermine les propositions et limite la diversité réelle des conclusions possibles.
Il existe aussi des espaces où la géopolitique se réduit à des slogans anti-américains ou à des indignations partisanes.
Ce forum n’est ni l’un ni l’autre.
Nous accueillons une véritable diversité d’opinions et d’expériences.
Personne ici ne sera exclu pour avoir remis en question un récit dominant.
Les idées se confrontent librement.
Les attaques personnelles ne sont pas tolérées.
***
### **Motions & Proposals Welcome**
Nous encourageons les participants à proposer des motions de débat.
Une motion doit être formulée avec sérieux :
– une thèse claire
– un minimum de contexte historique ou juridique
– une compréhension des enjeux géopolitiques
Les propositions destinées à stimuler la réflexion sont bienvenues.
Les slogans et provocations faciles ne le sont pas.
***
### **Languages**
La langue dépendra des participants présents.
Les débats se déroulent généralement en anglais et en français, mais nous pouvons accueillir d’autres langues lorsque cela est possible.
Langues actuellement possibles :
– English
– Français
– Nederlands
– Español
– Italiano
– Русский
– Farsi
L’objectif est la compréhension, pas la pureté linguistique.
***
### **What We Ask of Participants**
– Venez pour comprendre, pas pour “gagner” un débat
– Soyez ouverts à des perspectives qui contredisent les vôtres
– Parlez avec des faits, du contexte et de l’histoire
– Si vous proposez un sujet, venez préparé
– Critiquez les idées, jamais les personnes
– Pas de censure des opinions
– Pas d’attaques personnelles
– Pas de diffamation
Le désaccord est normal.
La paresse intellectuelle ne l’est pas.
***
### **This is not a dating meetup**
Tous les espaces sociaux ne sont pas destinés à flirter ou à chercher des opportunités romantiques.
Si vous considérez ce forum comme un terrain de drague ou que vous faites des avances non désirées, vous n’avez pas compris le but de ce groupe.
La conversation vient d’abord.
Les idées viennent d’abord.
Le respect vient d’abord.
***
### **Location & RSVP**
L’événement aura lieu à Ixelles, dans un bar public.
Pour préserver la qualité et la sécurité de la discussion, le lieu exact est communiqué uniquement aux participants confirmés via notre groupe WhatsApp.
👉 Pour RSVP et recevoir le lieu :
https://chat.whatsapp.com/LX7UkWGZ3UdLQWLBvNdezN
L’objectif n’est pas l’exclusivité.
L’objectif est une discussion sérieuse entre personnes capables de réfléchir librement.
The goal is not exclusivity, but accountability and quality of discussion.
If this format doesn’t suit you, this event may not be the right fit.

Un tavolo per 20 persone è riservato sotto il nome di Salvatore. Dunque, se non ci sono o se sarò in ritardo, potrete chiedere al barista. È un incontro informale, perché non è un evento strutturato, ma piuttosto un gruppo di persone che si riuniscono per parlare e praticare l'italiano.
Anche i nativi italiani sono benvenuti :) Tutto ciò che serve è un sorriso — e puoi anche portare un amico!

Fast Friending: Real Connections! (21-40/Bring a Lady FREE)
Has it been just you and your phone lately? It’s easy to feel connected yet still feel alone. Digital interactions can’t replace the warmth of eye contact, real laughter, and meaningful conversations. True connection happens when we step away from our screens and show up as ourselves — present, open, and engaged.
At Fast Friending, we create spaces where real relationships begin. - just genuine conversations and shared moments. Because nothing compares to meeting face-to-face, discovering common ground, and walking away with a connection that truly feels real.
**You will need to buy a ticket for attending -**

CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
