Zil posted:Is that due to it being a literal translation or is that really the context of the ad? That really is the context of the ad. McDonalds Norway thinks it's a good thing if you're stressed at work.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:"Stress" has a bunch of different connotations though. The word has enough ambiguity that a machine translation isn't necessarily going to get the right meaning across. If there's a universally negative reaction in Norway that word probably isn't used in the same contexts. My native tongue is norwegian, the translation got it right. Also, that article says that stress can be good during a short period of time, not long term like a job. Alhazred has a new favorite as of 19:47 on Feb 13, 2023 |

run on sentience posted:Idgi why are all the ads horny about this ship being there? Surely many international ships regularly go there? Let's just say that the last foreign military sea vessel to visit Norway got a different welcome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_cruiser_Bl%C3%BCcher

titties posted:"Coon" has been used as the short form of raccoon far longer (probably) than it's been used as a slur and using it to refer to a raccoon has zero racial connotations. Oh my god are you seriously trying to reclaim that word?

Fruits of the sea posted:They need to include explicit instructions to eat it with marmalade. American palate can't cope with purestrain brunost. Brunost is basically grease with added sugar. It should suit the american palate perfect.

muscles like this! posted:There's a fun bit in the Lucifer TV series where the Cain (like from the Bible) shows up and complains about how he can't die and starts describing all the ways he's tried to kill himself over the years. In the comic Cain keeps killing Abel and he always comes back to life. DC Comics also have a character called Multi-Man who's power is that every time he dies he comes back with a new power. So in one story, Joker's Laust Laugh, the prison he is in is transported to space and the wardens keeps killing him until he a gets power that can get the prison back to earth.
