I’m not sure if you’re pulling my leg, but sure, I get that. But what is a single/double/triple stripe month?

Now I am really curious…

What do the number of black stripes under the months designate?

Well, to be honest, apart of the aliens thing, everything you said is true.

So how is your housemate wrong?

And aliens? That’s an American thing. Only Americans are abducted and only America gets attacked by aliens in the movies. (And South-Africa)

Why say “unalive” here on lemmy?

Got to love that picture: shares an insightful post about cat psychology regarding how to tell when a cat feels safe. Follows up posting a picture of a scared/triggered cat :D

You’re playing a dangerous game with those kind of words makker

I think you refer to the movie “Chef” where the kid tried to serve a burned Cubano (Cuban sandwich)?

Not very stable indeed. Since ‘Kok’ (2002!), NL has had 1 cabinet come to full term (Rutte II I believe). In 21 years 8 goverments. 1 full term of 4 years, so 7 in 17 years. Elections every 2,5 years on average :/

But hey, at least NL is not Belgium :D

Don’t worry, the headline is too sensational. (Which is a pet peeve of mine anyway: headlines should be objective. I can make up my own mind please)

He didn’t win a majority. He won’t form a goverment. If he does, he will be powerless in the coalition. If he does get to make laws, they won’t pass the senate (called “1ste kamer” in NL). And if he does, the government will fall anyway (which is a Dutch tradition anyway).

So a lot of ‘outs’ :)

No worries!

No, you’re being downvoted because your post suggests that you basically reward them by not leaving. That their scummy change doesn’t affect you is lucky for you, but don’t ‘gloat’ in a topic where the TS is saying it does affect them.

You know, empathy? Or at least show some solidarity.

Same in Dutch: azijnzeiker (azijn = vinegar, zeiker = pisser). So that one does translate well (but not to English :))
