Been a while since I’ve seen a picture of him, and my first thought was ‘God, he got old’, but I guess he doesn’t want that to happen...I mean...

I did the same thing as you did, to see if the translation worked out the same way as the Dutch original did. It’s mostly the same, although I should mention that “The party reached almost 10-thousand votes, more than enough for a room seat.” Should actually be “The party reached almost 10-thousand votes, not nearly…

As someone from the Netherlands I really only have one thing to say about this:

I am surprised by how captivating I find this show. It’s really one of the few things that I legitimately enjoy watching right now. I mean, I loved the original charmed so this one had me hooked on the premise already but the actresses are really doing a great job and I love that the story takes itself a bit more…

*Johnny Depp, standing in the shadows*

Lol, that’s a low bar, friend. A loooow bar.

The whole earthbound thing made it feel like Torchwood, which is basically Alien NCIS anyway. Very fitting of Chibnall. Although, given that they’re now floating out in space, I expect the TARDIS to show up at any minute. 

I agree with you, I definitely enjoyed it. Not because it’s true or because it has some merit, but because it makes you look at both movies a little closer and from a different angle. 

I’m with you on the fact that the entire GOP has once more shown their asses spectacularly. Kanavaugh is going to be sworn in, and they’ll prove once more that they’re fascist dicks. It just feels like (another) breaking point. If there’d been another party in the GOP’s place, one who gave even a modicum of shits and…

I feel like this is, or should be, one of those defining moments for the USA as a country. Like, on which side is the coin going to flip? Is Kavanaugh going to rejected and will that leave a slightly larger chance of a new person who might be somewhat more bipartisan and allow the two sides inch sliiightly closer or…

Lol, yeah, I really can’t stop thinking about this particular snl sketch:

Anyone who thinks Europeans are classy has clearly never seen us during the World Cup...

People are fined for this, when caught in the act by the police. It’s just a rather difficult measure to enforce since a lot of these guys do their business when there’s no cops around and out of plain sight.

Well one... the other is losing money now and fans tolerate it at best in hopes for a better future.

It’s absolutely fair to say that Germany was not the only one to fault for WW1. I tried to include the rest of Europe as well in my statement, but perhaps I should have been more overt on that one.

I had the same kind of technique: looking at the phrasing and the quantity of available data, rather than what the actual data was.

Well, I did find the actual survey from the pew research center, so you can judge for yourself how easy or hard it is. Of course, that’s not really representative for entire countries. See below:

I wonder how the survey would be made in different parts of the world, and whether they would score better than the USA or if the whole ‘this is a fact because I agree with it’ is simply a part of the human condition as a whole.

You are most welcome, internet stranger whom I’ve never met and hopefully never will!

Ah, I understand what you meant by ‘needing a war’ now. It took a war and a reconstruction for Germany to get to the point of introspection. However, what makes you think that 45 is fucking up worse than bloody Hitler did? Hitler burned every bridge there was to burn and then some. Trump isn’t nearly at the point…
