Came here to say this.

Handshake in Hungary.

However in my friends group it’s often hug, especially when we haven’t seen each other a long time. I like it. It’s nice.

And fortunately they made the law future proof. It doesn’t say that “hey, you should use USB-C” but it says “hey, you should use the connector mentioned in Appendix H which is defined by committee R”. That way they don’t need to start over the whole bureaucratic process the pass the law, just ask a committee to reevaluate the tech and they change the appendix. It can be USB-D from tomorrow.

You are not doing anything wrong. She is a bitch.

I’m really surprised.

Could we please stop with this nonsense that “hey just make your own blahblah”.

Yeah, when I have literally 10 minutes between meetings to stuff something into my mouth, I’ll sure start to prep my meal. And on weekends? Fuck that too, I just want to lay on my couch doing nothing. But certainly not my meal.

They meant that they are intentionally trying NOT to help the customer, hopefully they just give up at some point. (That’s why they are redirecting to bots and not to an actual human.)

It was so on point in a lot of things, it wasn’t satire, it was basically a documentary. I love that movie. And also hate it. For the same reasons as you do.

Greetings from Hungary, where I’m sure you know we are in a similar situation where you were. I hope I’ll have this feeling some day that you guys are experiencing there right now. I very rarely cry but I think that day I defenitely will. Congratulations! You (and we all) needed this!

You did good! Keep it up!

How much distance are we talking about?

I shower every 2nd day. The 2nd day of Christmas and Easter.

I’ll admit I stopped reading around halfway. Maybe earlier.

See, you are not a real doctor, Allen!

Except drugs, of course.

English in a nutshell. Here is a rule. It always works except in this 300 million examples when not. I hate it.

About 100k. That would mean a downpayment for a house here.

Similar. In stores or wherever in-person a hostess asks for my mail for ads or some dumb subscription, I just start to dictate “spam…yes, spam@[myname].com”. Sometimes they believe me and I actually got the spam since I configured a catch-all.

That means nothing to the average Joe. Joe saw a comment mentioning Lemmy under a post on reddit. Got curious, went to join-lemmy.org.

“What the fuck is an instance? - he thinks. I don’t care, where are the posts? Okay, a lot of these things seem to be specific domains, maybe they are for specific countries or interests. I don’t have any of that. The fuck is federation? I don’t fucking care, show me the posts already. Okay, .world is the largest, the name implies it’s for everybody. Cool, register. Next, next, fucking finally here are the posts.”

That’s why.

I use something similar often. “I’m not racist but the color of the bread is white.”
