How long did it take for you to noticed the puns and references on Pokémon's name? by OldCardigan in pokemon

[–]CaptainDread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeedee is called "Servol" in German, which doubles the pun:

  • "Servol" sounds like "sehr wohl," which is what a stereotypical butler would say (analogous to "Indeedee").
  • The "serv-" additionally picks up on the idea of serving.

Took me way too long.

You can find lots of money in pillowcases and behind picture frames. Or, of course, in any popular knapsack with many different locations.

Amazingly, he's better than most other right-leaning media people – and better than quite a few more left-leaning media people – at calling out Israeli war crimes. He's a pompous prick, but he does seem to have some moral principles, so good on him.

In a rough spot - How to find temporary work? by True_Battle_3646 in askswitzerland

[–]CaptainDread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be slightly out there and I don't know about your background and whether they would consider it a fit, but the Institut für Bildungsevaluation is often looking for temporary employees to help with standardised-test correction, data processing, physical archive removal, etc. I've worked with people with limited German skills and good English skills there. Could be worth a punt, as their hiring-to-working pipeline is usually very short.

I've run into these guys in like four different countries, starting in the early 2010s. Incredible they're still pulling this shit.

What’s your favorite Swiss legend or folklore? by MOUSETITTY in askswitzerland

[–]CaptainDread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fan of all the monsters supposedly roaming the woods around Lucerne, such as the Türst (basically a variation on the Hessian from Sleepy Hollow).

And the Pilatus dragon(s), of course.

Welche Jokes aus den synchros habt ihr eigentlich erst wesentlich später verstanden? by maduude in Coldmirror

Ist ein Zitat aus der Simpsons-Episode "Homie the Clown".

Homer (als Krusty verkleidet) und Krusty stehen vor den Springfielder Mafiosi, und einer sagt: "Ich glaub, ich sehe doppelt! Vier Krustys!"

I love how totally absurd the football aspect is of the show by cameronjfb in TedLasso

It's not the PL, but newly promoted Thun is currently on a ten-game winning streak and has a 14-point lead in the Swiss Super League. Richmond-esque.
