You can read about it here

In this case it’ll be the second meaning (disdain)

Can’t say it’s a good enough filter, but the pic does at least kinda narrow it down to “Jesus is a white guy” believers

Lofoten?

I’ve heard of Bikers Against Child Abuse that plays upon the stereotype to guard kids against their abusers and provide a protective presence as the kids testify in court 🤔

It’ll be useful. Unless you’re in maybe Oslo or Bergen, everything (signs, labels on all groceries, announcements, etc) is in Norsk and not everyone can/is willing to speak English, even Gen Y and younger.

I think the link is broken

No worries!

I hope you have a great time, and hopefully the rains will subside when you’re here 😅

Sorry if this reply is too late. I got Singtel at the 7-11 convenience store.

I think you’ll be offered Singtel or Starhub, the two major telcos. The other ones are just using their networks anyway.

Honestly SG is so well connected that any teleco will work, at most you’ll maybe have some intermittent problems when taking the newest trains since they’re so far underground.

Not an esim, but I found it easy to buy a physical sim card at the airport after touching down.

SGD12 for 100GB for 2 weeks, follow the instructions to register and you’re good to go in a few minutes.

I personally liked this video and this WSJ video about it 20 years later

This isn’t really the case in Norway (anymore?)

Here is an English summary of the government release.

Here’s a Covid-era livestream if you decide not to go 😆

How benevolent 😒

Penguin Parade at Phillip Island might be a bit far (you’ll need a car) but I think it’s worth visiting. The Little Penguin subspecies is only found around southern Australia, Tassie and maybe New Zealand ☺

Here’s an article on it.

Maybe because it’s been overwritten by the brutality of Israel’s latest massacres? 🤨

Using DuckDuckGo and all regions (and I suppose a Scandinavian VPN) lemmy.world was 4th. Still not bad! 🙂

I’m living in Europe now and would like to share my experience with this:

1. When you proceed to pay, the machines here have 2 options side by side on the screen for you to select how you want to pay - cash at the counter or card at the machine. So I’m quite surprised that your machines work differently

2. Quite a few European countries actually still rely heavily on cash to the point of cash-only for a lot of shops, for example in Germany and Italy

3. Besides your list, one other advantage I found was being able to order overseas when the locals didn’t speak English at all and I couldn’t read the menu. In Norway, there’s an option to select English or Norsk. In Poland where I went, there wasn’t a choice but it didn’t matter because the menu is mostly universal so the pictures were sufficient

Maybe there was a picture of bears on the packaging and it thought that meant pet food for bears lol
