Is there a non-shitter link?

The second person during a question is still no special rule for dt. It's still very regular. For all regular verbs it's just stem (without the +t).

Examples:

Praten -> stem = praat -> praat jij? Worden -> stem = word -> word jij? Surfen -> stem = surf -> surf jij?

No irregularity for stems ending in d.

But again, there is no special exception for dt. Again it's the regular rule applied: second person conjugation in questions is just the stem for regular verbs.

This gets really confusing if you're from Limburg. In Limburgish, "daan" (the cognate to Dutch "dan") only exists as the time indicator. With comparisons the correct Limburgish is to use "es" for differences (e.g. "Jan is groeter es Maria", "John is bigger than Mary"), and "wie" for equivalents (e.g "Jan is eve aajd wie Maria", "John is as old as Mary"). Now "es" is cognate to Dutch "als", but using it in Dutch as in Limburgish is wrong. So yeah this gets confusing.

That English natives have so much trouble distinguishing effect from affect keeps surprising me.

As for Dutch, the dt-issue is presented as if it is this hugely complicated set of rules. While in reality it is dead simple. Third person in the present time is ALWAYS conjugated as stem+t for regular verbs, except in ONE case: when the stem already ends in t. Dt isn't special, it's just the rule applied to all stems.

Plasterk is ook nogal van het padje gevallen na zijn ministerschap. Van Strien leek me eerlijk gezegd capabeler.

Wordt een interessante formatie.

ZDF is a major broadcaster in Germany.

Al in huis

That neck enlargement is wtf.

Traditioneel links heeft de eigen achterban decennia verloochend.

En het klimaatbeleid treft met name de gewone burger in plaats van de echte vervuiler. Dat voelt oneerlijk voor veel mensen.

Ik ben waarschijnlijk wat rechtser dan de doorsnee Lemmyer - ooit nog een keer een blauwe maandag lid geweest van de VVD (we zijn allemaal wel jong en dom geweest) en deze keer heel lang getwijfeld tussen NSC en Timmermans.

Ik snap de beweegredenen van mensen, maar dat maakt de uitkomst er niet minder schrikbarend onder.

Voor welk ministerie werk je als ik vragen mag? En hoe snel is nieuw beleid überhaupt doorgevoerd doorgaans?

PVV trekt traditioneel redelijk wat van de PvdA. De arbeidersstem: economisch links, sociaal conservatief.

Dankje.

Wat je in de VS en het VK na respectievelijk Trump en Brexit zag was daarna ook in de algemene maatschappij het hek van de dam was voor allerlei haat. Het was nu immers politiek goedgekeurd. Dat zou nu ook wel eens in Nederland kunnen gebeuren.

Als lid van de lhbti gemeenschap maak ik me echt zorgen over wat er nu komen gaat. Een hard-rechtse coalitie zou wel eens het Trump-moment van Nederland kunnen zijn.

RIP Nederlandse democratie 1920-2023.

With your username, you'd do great in the Netherlands

Interestingly this phone number complaint only shows up among techies and especially Americans. You guys don't get to keep your phone number? I've had the same number now for 20 years here in Europe, it may as well be synonymous with my identity.

In fact, I'd say the phone number requirement, or at least option, actually promotes adoption in parts of the world. I wouldn't have been able to get my mother to use Signal if it didn't work with a phone number, for instance. She's not gonna make an account just for a chat app. Phone number she already has.

I got into programming via, I kid you not, Second Life.

Wanted to animate some objects with the built-in scripting language. Turned out I was pretty good at it.

Fast forward 15 years and I'm having a decade-long career in software.

None. The statement is false. The law didn't change. What did change was the enforcement thereof.

What's absolutely scummy is that "laws are changing in your region" is not what happened. The law hasn't significantly changed. What has changes is that the regulator is finally enforcing the law.
