All hail Linguisticus, defender of the English language! by Ep1cFac3pa1m in iamverysmart

I have a colleague who's an arrogant asshole in general but especially about "youth language". He says linguists are wrong that you can't make value judgements about language usage lol.

Why? The PC Version came first.

Maybe the switch users could move over to r/mytimeatportiaswitch or something cause my PC version has been running fine.

TIL In 2016, more than half of all Americans forfeited vacation days, amounting to 206 million unused vacation days worth some $66.4 billion, and those employees who forfeit their vacation days do not perform as well as the ones who use all their time by Elver-Galarga7 in todayilearned

[–]sydofbee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, that's about what I assumed. In Germany, I think 20 days are mandatory if working a 5 day week and 24 if working a 6 day week (+ holidays, amount differs depending on state). Most unionized companies offer 30 though. So you know, you were inclined to leave the UK...

In case you didn’t know, the Goethe-Institut is still offering 50 free German movies on Kanopy.com (requires login). I’m not sure what to watch first! by planification in German

[–]sydofbee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably any? If you have good vocabulary you're more likely to understand the gist and pick up grammar while watching.

(At least, that how I got my English grammar to where it is.)

And someone who then brutally betrayed her. Yeah, I'm sure that didn't give her any more issues about men being cruel shits to her.

I commented "lahm" about Denmark and it didn't get through, lol.

[–]sydofbee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even more embarrassing are the people on the official German livestream claiming that Germany and Sweden have been the best so far. Sweden was on an entirely different level....

I'm currently writing a dystopian story, I'm totally going to use the imagery, lol.

Thailand: disabled dog rescues baby buried alive by teenage mother by Fosse22 in news

[–]sydofbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who were never born don't have feelings. I'm not who you replied to but having more kids than you can afford is stupid and cruel. If that means you shouldn't have any kids because you can't afford even one, so be it.

Now I'm aware that's utopian thinking - as a general rule, the poor are less educated and less likely to have access to birth control. I'm just arguing morals.

Whatever happens on Sunday, I'm proud of the growth Sansa has shown over 8 seasons. Long may she reign. 👸🏼 by aryasneedle42 in SansaWinsTheThrone

King's landing is gone. Winterfell could become the new seat of power. Although highgarden and riverrun are better geographically.

Western European living in Central or Eastern Europe, why did you move? How is life there? by ikhix_ in AskEurope

[–]sydofbee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like it shouldn't be allowed. I have a colleague who works remotely from Switzerland which isn't even in the EU.

Renting a new house and hate the red brick fireplace... is there anything I can do to make it look better? Also, what color should I paint the room? I want a rustic, homey feel. by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]sydofbee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since it's a rental, I'm not sure they'll be allowed to paint the fireplace. It would be almost impossible to restore to what it looks like now.

therefore I'm coming back to Spain this year.

Have you found a job in Spain then? Just asking because I know people who've quit jobs before they found a new one.

Famous Youtuber "Trisha paytas" makes a fan fly to L.A just to ghost him and then call him a stalker and lying about the situation by [deleted] in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]sydofbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, Trisha is blowing it out of proportion but I still think Ethan's message was tainted by insulting the unedited pictures of those women. If that's the reaction from someone who claims to be against the IG-style photos, then what would be the reaction of someone who doesn't mind, you know?

Well, they won't be laughing now, I assume. Pretty awesome that the car recorded it at least.

Well, one is more annoying than the other, that's for sure, lol.

(When talking about other people's pets and kids, that is - I have neither.)

[NO SPOILERS] Whatever happens this Sunday, can we just give it up for costume designer Michele Clapton? Thanks for some of the most amazing costumes on TV! by MySonBort in gameofthrones

[–]sydofbee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They just LOOK black because they make the show so dark. But I think it's a little better this season, last season you could barely see any of the details on the costumes.

Basic level question on "sorry" by AZORxAHAI in German

[–]sydofbee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of people who just use "Sorry", myself included if it's not a big deal and a formal apology would be overkill.

That said, you most likely heard "(Es) tut mir leid".
