YSK that despite being outside of US jurisdiction, Lego has dropped diversity and inclusion terminology from its annual report - Lemmy.World

I know some people are boycotting US businesses during the current administration, but the same mindset has ripple effects here in the EU. In other words: stay vigilant!

There’s 2 things in this world that I hate. Intolerance for other people and the Danes.

Why does Thorfinn speak in broken English while Sasappis doesn’t? Neither encountered it in their lifetimes, and both have been exposed to it for hundreds of years now.

You can spend 200 years listening to a language, but if you dint try to understand it you never will

Mm, good point. Thorfinn’s not the brightest bulb, despite for power.

Also some people no matter how intelligent just can’t fully grasp a new language. They can become functionally fluent but never academically perfect

As a Dane who’s also a big fan of Thorfinn, I am vexed. VEXED, I tell you!

(Also, amused that the viking and the hippie are dating, given my username 😁)

The Dutch. The Danes have enough having to speak Danish, no need to pile on them!

But we’re talking about Lego, which is from Denmark. Correcting the quote is at expanse of the joke/relevance.

Fair enough!
