Does it really matter?

Place is going to close for thirty percent over asking in ten days. I probably wouldn't bother loving around with it any more than that if I were a realtor, either.

A better translation would be "Geef me billenkoek, papa". Which is probably even funnier, because billenkoek would literally translate to "buttocks cookies"

IIRC weed is just kinda ignored there in personal use settings and amounts. There was a push a few years ago to block tourists from partaking but I think that failed. Plenty of growers and traffickers still get nailed, and always have, but personal use amounts are generally just shrugged off.

The Dutch have lost the weed game to Canada and random US states, and you don't have to play some stupid song and dance at a cafe to get it either. Just go in the building with the big WEED sign or green cross outside.

But your health care system has got to be better than the patchwork quilt of bullshit we have in the US. I would hope.

There are billboards for dispensaries and weed vape pods, you just walk up, pick out your strain, and hand them cash. You can get 1/8ths of incredible poo poo for 35 bucks, and you can get that down to like 10 to even nothing if you a discount, which most shops will do. The rule is that you don't smoke it at a cafe.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Cool, didn't realize it was so open there after hearing about the attempt to squash tourist smokers a while back, probably longer ago than I realize.

$35/eighths are pricy compared to Denver. poo poo, I grabbed an ounce of some really nice Antelope today for $90 in Colorado Springs. Then again, the tourist shops around Denver will definitely rake $300 off someone for an ounce because they didn't want to venture far from the airport or downtown. And they'll have dumb poo poo advertising claiming lots of strains of 30%+ thc that wind up being about as good as medical dispensary shake.

Weed is a wondrous thing. Everyone should get seeds mailed to them by their government every spring.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is Mister Sprinkles? This is Mister Sprinkles speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are perishing-you who dread knowledge-I am the man who will now tell you.

English is more like "island dutch". There was an old BBC series with the guy who did connections on the roots of the English language and apparently it came from dutch which is why so many dutch phrases sound funny. They are in a sort of lingual uncanny valley with English.

So is Friesian, and I have been a big fan of Friesland ever since I learned their flag was seven butts. It's pretty fun to say "wat de flomke?" it means what you think it means.

english didn't come from dutch, it has the closest relation to dutch as a bastard hybridization of various offshoots of proto germanic blended back together. There's no direct lineage between them at all.
