Taking it a step further, I wonder how many people I caused to go on to hate humanity because of something I wrote online

Not that it makes it any better, but at least they tried hiding operation paperclip. Hopefully indicating some kind of shame.

Volkswagen didn’t even change their name

Barely changed the logo

“Yeah we were the nazi car company who helped do the holocaust. That was a doozy. Anyways, wanna buy a nazi car?”

I normally don’t read usernames, so I got fucking brain fried trying to figure out what a Finjamin is

Like, it looks like a word I should remember but it isn’t even a word

Bomb sniffing dogs don’t become explosive after a few successful shifts, for similar reasons.

hello Mike D never showed up

may I have the water

You can absolutely do that.

But do be careful with kde-full if you’re running very old hardware. I’m talking about <4gb DDR3, CPUs from Obama’s first term etc.

I’m not saying KDE’s “bloated”; I am still in absolute shock at how light it is compared to Windows.

But if you are dealing with hardware that needs a daily lethal dose of donepezil, opt for kde-standard

(Difficult lesson I learned)

maybe op was doing it a lot

and/or the litter was plutonium or something

edit: I think the phrasing was intended to be hyperbolic

“honest to god that’s as far as I can go”

it’s regular capitalism but without pesky things like “environmental laws” and “human rights”

And everything memorized must be available for a timed 0.5-3 hour session with no access to any kind of notes, which risks destroying any chance of those memories “sticking” long term.

The only times in my adult life where

1. Time was crucial

AND

2. I had no access to any helpful information

was never

All it did was exacerbate my underlying mental health issues while my brain was developing.

You have to retroactively do what I did and cripple your attention span to a point where if you see any piece of text longer than a few sentences, your brain just automatically skips past it

I’ve been admitted twice

At both facilities, other patients who required more ‘intensive care’ generally didn’t interact with the patients with more manageable symptoms. So I don’t have any really wild stories.

At worst, I’d hear screaming in the middle of the night. I’m a heavy sleeper, so it probably happened a lot more than I noticed.

I went in with the doctors knowing that I had a problem with illegal drugs (I admitted it), so I followed all the rules. (Possibly limiting my knowledge of any highly notable events)

Another dude, a few years older than me, had that same pre-condition, except the doctors had to burn a few piss tests to figure that out.

He knew where all the CCTV cameras and their blind spots were. Smuggled contraband and non-contraband via WhatsApp and fence-toss. Performed the role of “lookout” for patients seeking to indulge in intimate relations.

Like I said, I followed the rules, but I didn’t snitch, because that shit was entertaining.

Another patient was law enforcement. Let us know that officers who arrive to work drunk don’t really get into trouble because it’s so prevalent.

One nurse smoked secretly (in a CCTV blindspot)

That’s all I can recall for now.

“Broadcast English”

Interesting term

I’ve always noticed that In movies and TV shows, North American accents mostly sound “normal”. But when I talk to Americans/Canadians in person or online over voice chat, I cannot pinpoint the accents, it just sounds “American” to me.

I almost never hear the

“I’m walkin here”

“Folks won’t take kindly to you around these parts”

“I pahked my cah at the Hahvahd yahd”

“I’m sorey aboot that”

I’m totally down, I just need to, like, check my schedule?

etc.

kinds of exaggerated accents

everyone sounds like someone from CNN to me and then they say they’re from Arkansas or something

I wanted to see my recommendations :{

Not rooted, or flashing a custom ROM, so I can’t delete the play store.

Also, my bank app wasn’t installing properly from Aurora. I don’t remember what the exact issue was, but it was too much of a hassle to figure out (or change banks)

But that second profile idea is smart

I should have done that

Fortunately, I don’t think there’s a fraction of that specific kind of tension.

My guess is 40-50 years from now, people will probably just call it Gqeberha or some other more catchy nickname.

Interesting thought

I don’t think the other nations are too bothered by it in most cases.

The country that comes to mind first is Germany. They call it Deutschland. I never looked into why we as English speakers call it “Germany”. I just do it because everyone else does.

I haven’t heard of Germans getting upset about it. If they were legitimately offended, I’d start calling it Deutschland, no problem.

The real issues come in when there’s a historical context. Like, if the name contains a slur for the people in that nation. Or if you mix up the names of neighbouring Balkan countries.
