Alright, I’ll be here if you need any help!

I fail to see how that makes it any better.

It works the same in English, though, just with the suffix ‘-ish’ (and a number of other suffixes) instead of Dutch ‘-se’. You could literally translate ‘Goudse kaas’ as ‘Goudish cheese’, Gouda just never gets the ‘-ish’ suffix (or any suffix at all, really) in English.

Trump logeert gezellig bij Wim en Max. Ik hoop dat ze McDonald’s voor ’m bestellen. En geen TV meer na twaalf uur!

Ik vraag me af wat ze nou weer voor paaipresentje hebben bedacht. Een hele windmolen voor op z’n golfbaan?

We actually call it ‘Goudse kaas’, though. ‘Gouda’ is just the city of Gouda.

Fucking pieces of shit. (Civil servant-in-chief) Schoof of the Netherlands refuses to ‘comment on whether international law has been crossed’ but says Iran should never have a bomb. The defence minister has said that he hopes Iran will accept Trump’s call for negotiations.

Our elites consist of slimy bitches.

Naja, ich bin (leider) absolut nicht überrascht.

Dat is hun modus operandi in ieder geval sinds Goebbels, die dat als volgt samenvatte:

Wenn unsere Gegner sagen: Ja, wir haben Euch doch früher die […] Freiheit der Meinung zugebilligt – –, ja, Ihr uns, das ist doch kein Beweis, daß wir das Euch auch tuen sollen! […] Daß Ihr das uns gegeben habt, – das ist ja ein Beweis dafür, wie dumm Ihr seid!

Als onze tegenstanders zeggen: ja, wij hebben jullie toch vroeger vrijheid van meningsuiting vergund - ja, jullie ons, maar dat is er toch geen bewijs voor, dat wij dat ook voor jullie zouden moeten doen! Dat is er juist een bewijs voor, hoe dom jullie zijn!

Not this bridge, though. I’m from Rotterdam, and the only time it has been dismantled in recent times was for maintenance. After this, the city promised it wouldn’t be dismounted again - as I said, this bridge is considered very iconic by Rotterdammers. Naturally it leads to sentimental reactions when some rich fucker thinks he can just have it dismantled so his big fat private ship can pass through.

He’s also killing young Ukrainians, though, so that doesn’t seem like it’d work at all.

This reminds me of when there were plans to have part of an iconic (now no longer used) railway bridge in Rotterdam temporarily dismounted because Bezos’ superyacht being built elsewhere in the Netherlands wouldn’t fit through otherwise. There were calls to wait for it on another bridge in the city with tomatoes.

Luckily, this didn’t actually end up happening, but that it was seriously considered, was bad enough.

If you’re talking about the tram in the picture, it’s a ’30s RET tram.

This is Rotterdam, though ;p

Reputable German newspaper Die Zeit is also reporting this. Though it’s only a short temporary message.

He’s not an agent. He wants to gain control for his own reasons. It’s why he tried to get his asylum minister to rule by emergency legislation, like Orbán is doing in Hungary. His coalition partners in the end wouldn’t go along with this, though. This was last year.

Israel doesn’t need to pay him for him to be their cheerleader, anyway.

I went to Wuppertal for the Schwebebahn as well; it’s really cool and unique, and when making a turn you really get a floating sensation.

Something surprising to me were the ticket stamping machines on the stations. These are the exact machines we used to have in metro stations and trams in Rotterdam to stamp our strippenkaarten, but we’ve had a digital, ‘tapping’ system since the 2000’s. It was a huge blast from the past for me. They even made the exact ringing sound when pushing in the ticket I remember from my childhood.

Ich denke, dass Musk einfach versucht sich von seinem Trump-Abenteuer zu distanzieren, damit man seine Autos wieder ohne schlechtes Gewissen kaufen kann.

Es würde mich nicht überraschen wenn das sogar klappt.
