- Comment on who's tried it? what does it taste like? 2 days ago:
Wait is dry actually related to sugar content? I mean it makes obvious sense now that you said it but I’m so used to using dry/sweet for wine based on the taste and never really made that connection that it was sweeter because it actually had more sugar, I guess I thought it was pixie dust making it sweeter.
- Comment on American wanting to move abroad, what's the best bet for an registered nurse? 5 days ago:
French and German? Definitely Switzerland then!
- Comment on American wanting to move abroad, what's the best bet for an registered nurse? 5 days ago:
Definitely, while it’s true everywhere is shifting right, the US is starting off from a much further right starting point.
- Comment on American wanting to move abroad, what's the best bet for an registered nurse? 5 days ago:
Everything is better paid in Switzerland, like, a lot. And also, you’re then living in Switzerland… Since OP speaks German I would also highly recommend putting Switzerland at the top of the list since you’ll be 2/3x better paid than neighbouring countries (and, again, living in beautiful, lovely Switzerland).

I have to wear them every day with any outfit at any occasion, it sounds silly to choose something flashy.

Awesome thanks!
- Comment on Manga Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [Week 19] 1 week ago:
I only read manga occasionally (I go on a binge now and then) last one has been a while. From my understanding tachiyomi doesn’t work anymore, are there alternatives?
As far as recommendations, the last one I really enjoyed was Bakuman! You should give it a go if a shonen about guys writing manga with lots of meta sounds interesting.
- Comment on That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit 1 week ago:
I just watched a video essay about design that talked about this, basically before the iPhone manufacturers were trying all kinds of crazy shit, after the iPhone it was black rectangles all around.

Never heard of that so I assumed it meant something like gravity, I was very confused.

Can’t be accused of breaking rules if your never sign up to the game in the first place. 9000+ IQ move.
- Comment on Biden calls Japan and India xenophobic: ‘They don’t want immigrants’ 1 week ago:
Nice. Yeah a friend of mine is trying to move there but it’s taking him many years, also learned the language etc and playing the visa games. I never been and have so much expectations from it I want to make it special when I go, but I know immigration isn’t for me because I don’t think I can be arsed learning the language.
- Comment on Biden calls Japan and India xenophobic: ‘They don’t want immigrants’ 1 week ago:
Very cool. How hard was it to emigrate? Did you learn the language?

- Comment on Study that asked people to count squashed bugs reveals worrying results 3 weeks ago:
Didn’t need a study to notice this, the difference between when I was a kid and now is stark, used to be the car would be covered in them by the time we got to vacation, now it’s clean as a whistle.
- Comment on Would you rather people be forced to be nice to you or would you rather people be genuine to you? 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t say scared, because it’s more indifference. If they’re an ass I typically just try to find a way to cut the conversation short and/or avoid that person if it’s possible.
- Comment on Would you rather people be forced to be nice to you or would you rather people be genuine to you? 3 weeks ago:
Highly dependent on the person, the situation, and how close I know that person, but yeah it happens.
- Comment on Would you rather people be forced to be nice to you or would you rather people be genuine to you? 3 weeks ago:
Don’t need the fake kindness, but also don’t need people to be rude to me for no reason I guess. Where I live the culture is that people are very blunt and direct, which is great most of the time but some folks definitely use it as an excuse to just be assholes.

It took me until the tomato to be certain of what was happening, but it’s the finger in the soup that really pissed me off.

I’m the Netherlands we have wealth tax so if you have more than 50k€ in cash/stock you start getting progressively taxed on it.

I was just talking about this with my wife no later than yesterday.
When I was a kid (in Europe) you either got the brand name stuff or you were eating absolute trash. These days you can barely tell the difference. Also all the stuff that are healthier alternatives also taste great now (high protein/low calorie ice cream was the example that prompted this conversation).
