Not really though. I haven’t been on the big social media platforms in forever, even during my 20s I was already gone. That doesn’t withhold you from visiting parties, chilling with friends, going places, etc. The only big platform that I’m still on is WhatsApp, because it’s the main way to message people here, and that’s how you can go places. But I haven’t go Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, TikTok, and whatever the fuck people use to consume ads nowadays

At my place the hours are quite flexible. If I have a doctor’s appointment, I just go and make up for those hours somewhere in the week. Or if it’s longer I can also just take a few hours off instead of a whole day. And I have the luxury of a 36 hours contract now, so I have a weekday off every 2 weeks. I value free time more than money that I can’t enjoy because I’m working. But I’m aware that that’s definitely a luxury many people cannot afford across the pond (or even here). Many people in my bubble of higher educated people who started working in the past 5 years are not working full-time. Can’t easily run a 1 person household when you’re working 40 hours

No, it’s way more relaxed and honestly I don’t wanna speak to someone after a whole day of yapping at the office. I just wanna pack the groceries into my bag in peace

Your example doesn’t make sense to me. Why would you modify the entire list by checking if something is in it? Also, you can totally edit the list via a pointer, that’s how you’re supposed to edit the list if you want any performance. Otherwise you’d be copying the list on every modification, which is terribly inefficient

Yeah exactly, I’ll pull it out the moment I enter the bed. Also, I’d rather let the bed “breathe” while I’m not there. I tend to flip the sheets and lay them all the way over the “freet end” or the side of the bed, so both the sheets and the bed/mattress itself get some fresh air

One of them is chill and just zooms around to pollinate. The other tries to get into every place I don’t want it to be violently and then starts stinging when it inevitably gets stuck. Wasps always try to get into my food, fly somewhere in my clothes where it’ll inevitably get stuck, fly into my face, etc.

I’ve been stung multiple times by both. Bees was always my full idiocy (I was obsessed with insects as a kid). Wasps was never my fault though, those cunts just put themselves in harms way only to “defend themselves” when the inevitable happens

The sharknado guard dissolves the sharknado by guiding the flying sharks into the inner screw structure, forcing them down and safely into the sea. A few perfectly placed sharknado guards can reduce a small to medium sharknado to a normal shark-less sub EF3 tornado, saving many lives in the process.

My autism will go into overdrive when eating this for bad reasons. There’s nothing healthy on that plate. I need some veggies. Some nice tomato or cucumber slices, grilled eggplant or zucchini (why don’t y’all just call it courgette smh). Maybe some mushrooms or something. Or pickles. One plate of veggies and then a little bit of the plate in the picture with a nice chunk of salmon, that’d do fine.

Yeah it absolutely baffles me as well. I tend to just cook for 4 days or something in one go. If I’m lazy I can even get pre-cut veggies, a pot is pasta sauce, some meaty and some pasta. It’s not that much effort and you could make enough to eat for days.

I was raised with the mentality that takeout or going to a restaurant was a luxury, which makes sense since it’s fucking expensive. And personally I feel like takeout is almost more of a hassle. You have to order on some site that is more advertisement than useful (or worse, call someone). Then you either have to wait till they bring it or get it somewhere, in which time you cannot really do much useful anyway, and on top of that its fucking expensive and often unhealthy.

This design is getting slandered, damn. Personally I think it looks absolutely sick, but for a brand like Ferrari I’m not sure it’s a good move. It has that electric car look, which makes it seem less exclusive. I’d totally want one if I needed a car and it was actually affordable, but given the price it probably should’ve looked more exclusive.

Understandable haha

Eepy strawberry.

The burnout makes me eepy sleepy and I just had Strawberries

The exercise is not (primarily) for weight loss. It’s so your body doesn’t feel like a useless sack of potatoes the whole day. So you’re not out of breath when picking something up from the ground. The weight loss is unfortunately primarily achieved in the kitchen.

At least, that’s my experience. But maybe if you used to not move at all it makes a big difference. I lost weight when I changed my diet for the better, and I gain weight whenever I slip up significantly. But when I stopped running 15km per week (for health reasons) I didn’t really gain a significant amount, maybe a kg (accounting for noise). I did become a useless sack if potatoes though, so I’m back in the grind.

You must live in a warm area, have a very well isolated house, or have heating in the floor. If I’d do they here for 70% of the year my feet will be way too cold to be comfortable

Exactly. I started reading The Fellowship of the Ring again, and it takes some getting used to that “queer” is used in a completely different way than nowadays.

Then you’ll never have to be bored, there’s always something more to learn

This, but with an extra step where I start preparing 5 minutes too late, can’t find shit, and then end up having to hurry so I arrive sweaty ans barely on time or too late

Kinda makes sense tho. Either they earn money on you from ads or they make money from you because of subscription. Or you’re like me and you still block the ads even though YouTube does everything it can to stop you.

I wouldn’t really mind watching some ads before a video, but I don’t wanna get constantly interrupted or have the ads track me everywhere. I tend to watch the in-video ads from creators tho, because most people I follow have relevant ads, funny ads, or ar the very least deserve some revenue.

Some countries have honey bee colonies that turn agressive. But normal honey bees, the ones in the picture, are usually homies that won’t sting unless seriously agitated. And unlike those fucking wasps they don’t repeatedly put themselves in a position to be agitated. As a kid I used to be obsessed with insects. I’ve been stung by bees and wasps multiple times. Every time a bee stung me it was my fault, I tried to catch them so I could see them better, often thinking it was one of those hover flies pretending to be a bee. Wasps however have repeatedly stung me because they’re assholes. And way more often they’ve almost stung me because they’re assholes. Bumblebees are extremely chill, they usually just let me do whatever, although I also tended to leave then alone.

For real. I type like a boomer, but I never had any problems at uni or work (as a developer). It’s not about how fast you’re typing but what you’re typing. And any good developer generally spends more time thinking or testing than typing.

Bur bad managers can’t accept this, they need dumb metrics like typing speed, added lines of code, useless certificates, etc
