Not like I disagree, but how would you even go about proving that Trump is a liar and not just a fucking idiot? Like, I fully believe he is a liar, but if a paper wants to call him a liar they’d want proof that he knows what he says is untrue.
Then again, even if they had proof there’s a decent chance they wouldn’t call him a liar, because the need to maintain “civility” is far more important to them than almost anything else. Cut a liberal and all that.
I mean, it’s important to find joy in the small things and to try to resist the world getting worse. Only focusing on the figurative flowers because your life is good enough is lib shit though, so I get where you’re coming from.
Both are incredibly unfunny imo. Like yeah, both are absolutely terrible people but I can’t for the life of me figure out why Putler ever caught on. It sounds like something that one annoying kid in fourth grade came up with.
I know someone who plays women’s rugby at a very high level, and apparently the teams she plays for are all gay as hell - like you’ll also often see in women’s football. If you’d want to get the lesbians out of those sports (which is ridiculous, of course), you better just stop organising it altogether.
Two things can be true at the same time.
What’s disappointing is that body language can definitely help to determine how people are feeling or what they are thinking, but the people who are into it the most just seem to forget it’s not a foolproof method to completely determine the truth.
For anyone who knows some French, you’re probably better off reading the original article - the language used isn’t that complex.
Rationally I agree, but at the same time I actually really like the passport booklet. I don’t know, it feels so much more official.
That’s instagram, so Meta/FB
I use a Mac for work and I’m saddened to say I do have to use OneDrive, and that it unsurprisingly sucks absolute ass.
Yeah, I agree. It’s not like I disagree with any of the specific points made in the post, but when you put it together it seems very, idk, complacent? Sure, not everything needs to be a challenge, but I also think it’s important to challenge yourself in some things.
Like you alluded to, it means that you’ll fail from time to time, but to me that’s better than never succeeding. Failure is more of an achievement than not trying at all.
All good.
And yeah, it’s clear that Rutte’s cabinet is aware that Israel is bad but doesn’t want to acknowledge it, but this post is misinformation.
Yeah okay cool, no need to be condescending when I already told you I found the damn NRC article. I, however, can’t access it and would like to read it in Dutch, or at the very least in a source a bit more trustworthy than Jacobin or not as no-name as nltimes.nl.
Also, like I said, this post frames it as if it’s a quote from Rutte. Your sources say it’s not. This shit is deliberately misleading.
Heb je een link zonder paywall? Ik was dat artikel al tegengekomen maar kon het niet lezen.
I googled the quote in the article (“What can we say to make it seem like Israel is not committing war crimes?”), which it doesn’t even attribute to Rutte, and I just found this article again.
Now don’t get me wrong, I fully believe that Rutte knows that Israel is committing war crimes and that he’s fully on their side regardless, but this article doesn’t prove the legitimacy of this quote at all. What’s more, if what the article states is 100% true, it at least demonstrates that attributing the quote to Rutte himself is misleading, since it is supposed to come from someone in his cabinet.
Source for the quote? I tried searching for it but couldn’t really find anything.
Heh, we use velo as well. And yeah, we don’t really stigmatise dialects that much either, though depending on how much dialect you use people might find it unprofessional.
It’s kinda funny, I’m Flemish and a lot of French loan words (ambriage, merci, nondedju = nom de dieu to name a few) are mainly used in dialect, and therefore don’t make you sounds sophisticated or worldly at all.
Meh, as a native Dutch speaker auxiliary verbs feel really utilitarian to me, and not particularly fancy - like you said, that’s highly subjective.
As for cases, I didn’t say Latin or German had the most, but just that I think they’re fancy and that Latin has them while French doesn’t.
As someone from Belgium, it’s great to see this get international attention.
