That gets me a loaf of bread, a smoked sausage, cheese and I’ll even have money to spare for tomatoes.

I can have several sandwiches.

Unfortunately that border town is likely to be in my country. Narva is chock full of Russian speakers.

Meanwhile my cold ass country is experiencing an abnormally warm autumn again.

Oh this is a good one

D, but only if they’re tory voters

Life itself is nothing more than a collection of anecdotes. Outside of math and philosophy, all our knowledge is based on anecdotal/empirical evidence. And in terms of psychology in particular, “everyone”, “always”, “never” and “nobody” aren’t really terms you should use. I never said everyone with red hair is insane or something, I just said a large amount of people with bright red dyed hair seem to have issues. It’s a red flag to keep out for.

Now the question is, how deeply did you know all the people sporting bright hair colours, and can you be sure for real that most of them had no traumas they were dealing with? Someone being “reasonable” doesn’t mean they’re healthy. Nor does having mental health issues mean you have to be unreasonable or even unpleasant.

Oh, right. I forgot American ISPs are allowed to pull shit like that. I don’t think this would fly where I live. I also don’t use public WiFi, because why would I even

I’m personally partial to highwayservicestations for being a compact way to say 2 words as one and shieldfrogs because shieldfrogs are awesome.

We have lehmakool (cow cake) in Estonian too and I found it absolutely hilarious as a kid reading some children’s book. Might have been one of those Bullerby books by Astrid Lindgren, but I might also remember wrong

It really doesn’t, on a technical level.

You’re not sending them any data. None that they send you is unique to you. There’s no real benefit in encrypting it.

Cool, but at least one of them completely admitted she’s got a lot of issues (nonviolent, so we were pretty good friends until we fell out of contact) and another was actually very violent - against me and at least one other former partner I know about - and SHE was the one who told me about it, not the victim. We were kind of a thing for a bit, but eventually the sex wasn’t worth the constant gaslighting and attacks.

Then there was one who said she’d dyed her hair “mental breakdown red”, but I never got to know her well enough to figure out how much of it was a joke. There was a “this is a joke, but like all jokes, it’s not completely out of thin air” energy about it.

Truth be told, I know one girl who has a similar hair colour and seems completely sane. Don’t know her too well, kinda stopped talking after school and she was pretty introverted back then, but she’s been rocking it as her style for a few decades now. The common thing between the others is that they all did theirs after some traumatic event, which is where I got the hypothesis that radically changing one’s appearance might be a trauma response - hence my nickname for it: mental health red.

There’s a specific hair color I refer to as “mental health red”. Every girl I’ve talked to that has had it, was, uh, off in some way. It’s a REALLY shiny, fake red, not a natural tone at all. Also common after break ups.

People with dyed hair in general though? Can’t say I agree.

Only with the correct iOS version though.

Back when people made a big deal about iPhone planned obsolescence, they were actually easier to repair than most competitors. Nowadays it’s about the same.

Sure it was

Ah okay, I’ll do my drinking after the hot tub then. Or instead of it since I don’t even own one

You could eliminate a bunch of systemic issues with a trillion dollars that would amount to essentially ending many of the effects of poverty for most people in poverty I would think.

Things like food insecurity, shelter, etc.

You’re right that just spending a trillion dollars as a one off grant to everyone in poverty wouldn’t do much, though. It’d need to be used strategically.

If the joke arrived safely, it looks like it wasn’t a Nissan. Perhaps it had an Aisin transmission?

I’ll be honest, it’s tempting. And I don’t even like small hatchbacks.

The three pedals, the power rating that’s not massive, but quite a bit of punch for such a small car…

But then I remember that my back hurts and I can get a super comfy cruiser from Germany that has a lot more luggage space and is significantly more comfortable, though way less fun to drive… For half the price of the Type R, if I go used. I could also get the Type R for half off, but I have to go older for that, and then we’re talking about a bunch of kilometers on a high-strung 2.0 four pot, versus a similar power rating and kilometers on a 3 liter diesel, which to me sounds like the engine is a lot less stressed.

It’s funny, the Type R isn’t great value for me because it doesn’t depreciate enough. For the people who buy them new, this is the opposite of course - it’s great value because it doesn’t depreciate too much.

The engine replacement interval is smaller than the transmission fluid replacement interval and ain’t nobody replacing an engine in a POS Nissan anyway.
