Can’t forget Noordeloos, Vriesland, Overisel, Drenthe, and Borculo. Been to Borculo a few times. Lotsa folks with Dutch/Frisian/Low German surnames in the area, including the (in)famously wealthy Van Andel and De Vos families of Grand Rapids.
Supposedly, the phrase “if you ain’t Dutch, you ain’t much” used to be common here, but I’ve never heard it used unironically. Likely died off with time.
Yeah, I had to dip out of a watch party for HB. Went in with decent expectations from hearing people talk about it but it felt like a bad shitpost. Thought there was an inside joke I didn’t get at first when they were laughing at the characters’ lines.
It’s not actually from Adam Smith, it’s a Marx quote from some of his unfinished notes posthumously published as Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844. The quote is specifically from Rent of Land in the first manuscript.
Adam Smith does talk about how landlords are parasites in Book 1 Chapter 11 of Wealth of Nations, Of the Rent of Land.
Genuinely just dumbfounded when I got to the point in the video where the little popup blurb refers to Epstein with the memed “disgraced financier” title. Holy shit, just call him the “infamous child sex trafficker”, that’s what almost everybody who knows his name knows him for.
Most LatAm I’ve spoken to online (including Brazilians) insisted that it’s one continent and that North, Central, and South America are subcontinents. Several of them have ranted at me about how it’s immoral for the US to monopolize “American” because of it.
fwiw in the US I was taught that North and South America are two continents and that Central America and the Caribbean are subcontinents of NA; the Panama-Colombia border demarcates the continents.
Only other one that really ever gets brought up is Australia vs Oceania as a continent. Don’t think I ever heard of Oceania until after graduating.
Hell, I make my bolognese with cinnamon and nutmeg. Tastes great.
Almost certain that the person you’re replying to is saying that the article should say that it’s a war crime, not that it isn’t one because the article doesn’t say so.
Yeah, though I can see how it looks like it’s going the other way at first glance, what with the fish facing the wrong direction.
Somebody I’ve known online for a few years in now making plans to move to the US from a nicer western European county after having fled there from a politically declining eastern European country 5 or so years ago. And to the Midwest, specifically, too. I live here, and I’d welcome them, but I’m also very much in the “why the fuck” camp.

Very late response, but I was thinking back to this and realized that, to be pedantic, yeah, female lycanthropes should actually be called wifwolves, or something to that effect; a woman becoming a werewolf would include turning into a man, if the root words are taken literally.
Kinda like how female automatons should technically be gynoids, not androids, because “andro-” means “male” in Greek, like “wer-” in English, but language doesn’t always evolve neatly like that.
The word itself is possibly a combination of sylvestris and nympha (forest and nymph), but they’re air spirits from Paracelsus’ 16th century works. Sylphs go along with undines, gnomes, and salamanders (water, earth, and fire spirits).
Some different kinds of nymphs are dryads (oak trees), oceanids (oceans), oreads (mountains), and plenty of others.
Not sure if logging in would “solve” it, but I’ve been unable to watch YouTube videos while on a VPN on desktop with FreeTube and on mobile with LibreTube for a month or so now.
Also, on FreeTube the recommended videos on the sidebar usually include a ton of unrelated news channels. I’ve got so many of them blocked now but they keep showing up.
Jello salad is definitely a thing in the Midwest. Source: every Thanksgiving I had as a kid
fwiw FreeTube is a desktop client.
Considering how much more relevant the Jedi games are, that’s probably more likely, but my first thought was “oh shit, Worf’s got Bastilla’s lightsaber”, ha. Hers was also double-bladed and yellow.
I wasn’t arguing against it, I was saying that it does happen.
fwiw I have — both the stereotypical “I’m 1/X native American” and also “I’m X% Dutch”, the latter due to folks taking pride in having Dutch heritage, real or imagined, where I grew up.
From context it just sounds like they were saying that a post with that link followed immediately after this one in their lemmy feed. Coming off unnecessarily aggressive.
Michigan and Ontario both have Bois Blanc Islands. Michigan’s is “Boys Blank” and Ontario’s is “Bob Low”.
