@mur2501 Yeah, well, beyond the VOC I've never really had too much interest in Dutch historical affairs outside of Europe, heh. I'd check this up, but I'll just believe you there (until I'm not so lazy). ;)

@mur2501 I just think English and Dutch probably differ enough because they colonized different regions with similar-ish names.

UK had a long history with India, and NL had a long history with Indonesia.

@mur2501 Then you've got a different definition than we have. If we want to say Indian, it is Indiaas. If we want to say Indonesian it is Indonesisch. If we want to say Indonesian-Dutch, it is Indo.

So our Indo-Chinese restaurants is actually Chinese restaurants with heavy Indo influences. You'd never find this food in China or in Indonesia as it is here. It's totally adjusted to our Dutch taste buds and it is so goddamn delicious.

@mur2501 Indo-Chinese as in Indonesian-Chinese? There's a shitton of those restaurants here. Delicioussssss.

@freemo Give me a good internet connection and a well-modded Minecraft, and I might just pull it off!

@mur2501 They just drive on the wrong side of the road, so the point is moot. 😋

More carnage! Another gigantic explosion! A third town blasted by fire and fury! This time... it was intentional! 😋

I just nuked the capital. No, the bomb was not disguised as a lion corpse this time!

@mur2501 I've read Dutchies complaining that Germans drive better than their fellow Dutchies. I've read Germans complaining that Dutchies drive better than their fellow Germans.

I guess Germans and Dutchies drive about the same. :P

@chrism I'd have thought people with expensive cars would be more careful. After all, you wouldn't want a dent in your expensive car, would you?

@mur2501 Oh gods, you weren't kidding. 🤣 Some of the comments are just ridiculous.
@Aranya

@mur2501 Move to side if that can be done safely. At traffic lights, when your light is on green, wait anyway until the emergency vehicle has passed.

@FailForward Good points in general.

Let's just remember that back then, even if we created things from scratch more often, it was a relatively small group doing the programming.

Now we have way more people invested in it, and even if they mostly do clicky programming, there's probably a bit more variety and results.

I guess it's all about perspective.

@mur2501 Yeah, that movie tried to show the gritty reality that it would've been back then.

Play a movie with sound off and subtitles on.
That's the experience. :P
