  Frisian is an entirely different beast, and even speaking Dutch doesn’t help you that much to make sense of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Is English Awash in Sailors' Jargon? | Otherwords⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a bunch of expressions in Dutch, some even overlapping with English (like all hands on deck/alle hens aan dek). I could think of ten off the top of my head, so I imagine there are a lot more that aren’t as obvious.

  The creator of the video pointed out one good joke in the special, and sure enough - it’s about himself lol. So yeah, even when he manages to be funny on purpose he’s still the joke.

  Perhaps if their ad services (googleadservices.com, doubleclick) have something to do with it, but I frankly doubt it.

  You have an actual loss in that scenario, but in the case of digital piracy most people wouldn’t have bought it anyway. Hence, no lost sales.

  This is legitimately confusing. Adding hate for a Linux DE to an established racist ass cartoon? Truly the most confusingly intersectional hate post I’ve ever seen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  …and you just wouldn’t get hired, because the guy who lives next to their office is a more attractive option, even if he’s only 80% as productive as you.

  And that’s arguably why it makes some sense; companies would be more likely to hire more locally and be more flexible about remote work - both of which save precious planetary resources ánd people’s time.

  Also a bunch of transphobic shit, because of course.

  Oh, and don’t forget about social safety nets that are part of the status quo but which they also don’t care about.

  Instantly became toxic? I’m shocked, shocked I say!
