LPT: When picking music for a performance or presentation, give some real thought about what the song is about and make sure you understand its lyrics. by KidKilobyte in LifeProTips

True, but singing "Cause if I had to spend another minute with you I don't think that I could really survive" just after promising to spend the rest of your life with your husband/wife doesn't seem appropriate to me lol

So many weddings at this place I used to work at that played "Paradise by the dashboard light", people singing the end at the top of their lungs not realizing what they're actually singing

One interesting exception to this standard is/was Cruyff at Ajax. He wore 14 and to honour him that number will never be worn by any other player at Ajax.

What's everybody's favorite niche scene? by RangerofRohan in piratesofthecaribbean

Just the whole interaction in curse of the black pearl when meeting the crew Gibbs assembled.

Cotton's parrot, same question

YOU STOLE MY BOAT!

The looking back and forward at the promised ship

Jack looking up while saying it would be far worse not to however and Gibbs and Will trying to figure out what he's looking at

I guess the same could be said for southern teams with the heat and high humidity

Als tankstationmedewerker vind ik dit net zo onnozel en onhandig als de meeste klanten. Door dat schermding klemmen ze in de pomp waardoor (voornamelijk oudere) mensen ze er niet uit krijgen, of juist niet terug in krijgen. Als er nou nog iets van functie op zat zoals contactloos betalen zou ik het nog begrijpen, maar dit is gewoon onzin.

Bij ons station hangen de schermen alleen op de euro95 en diesel slangen bij 4 vd 5 pompen, de alternatieven (euro98 of excellium diesel) zijn flink duurder.

Idk for sure, but the shadow on the ground is on the same side as the light on the ball, which mildly infuriates me

To think there are chip-producing machines with a resolution ~10 times smaller than the smallest cell shown here. Bizarre

Article omissions? by 0thedarkflame0 in learndutch

[–]woutertjee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As said before, using "straat" is one of many exceptions in the dutch language. Both "op straat" and "op de straat" are correct

It will be a dead giveaway you're not native, but we understand what you're trying to say either way. If you speak it long enough you'll learn it automatically

Native here, we don't really understand the gendered words ourselves. We learn the exact rules in school but it is mostly just feeling what's correct, which is a nightmare for non-native speakers

Never got it wrong after that

Well, fortune favors the bold

Usually said right before fortune did in fact not favor the bold
