Sometimes decades later I suddenly realise I was being flirted on in some random party circa 2004. I used to think exactly like you!

Paying less is good. I love sales, but they are still a psychological manipulation to get you to spend more money than you normally would.

This dude is 100% correct and I have no idea why people are downvoting him. Sales make people more likely to buy a product due to being limited. Limited time sales work better than lowering prices in the long term.

It’s why indie games do stuff like release their new games with time-limited 10% off discounts.

Portugal can’t even into Europe right now

Ahahahah embark of all places 🤣

Fair enough! It’s just the memo itself reads more like an inocuous “hey are we really doing things the best way possible?” I’ve seen my fair share of bycicle lanes done wrong (my home town has roughly 500 meters of it going from a busy car heavy roundabout in the middle of nowhere to some other place also in the middle of nowhere).

Has anyone read the actual text? This sounds quite reasonable without knowing the broader context.

I don’t get why people recommend nothing phone. They promise less years of software updates than most major brands and the best they do differently is “it’s sustainable”. Whatever that means.

No, you can’t. Simple as that. Same with helping someone carry some boxes because you’re just a cool dude.

I don’t make the rules, I only know them 😅

Still Tax fraud and visa fraud. Works like this in most countries.

Not that I agree with these extreme measures. Most of Europe doesn’t care but still: as ilegal in the US as it would be if an American tourist did the same in Germany.

Yes. There are actual letters and memos from german leadership about poking the Austrians into making the situation in Serbia worse in hopes a tiping point would give them an excuse to take swathes of Russia and France in the coming conflict.

Bonus points: methods for the handling of jews and other undesirables in the occupied lands were already being talked about

Could you give an example on what your cover letter looks like or maybe some tips?

Legit bit of code I saw once getRandomColor() { Random.seed = 0; return Color.blue; }

On the reverse side I told a bunch of people on Furcadia that 2 airplanes had just hit the twin towers.

Do not Google Furcadia on your work PC.

I had these in Portugal (not dominos) they came with nacho toppings and you could dip it in the central bowl. Which is just a bit of alluminium foil under the bread dough shapping it. The bread under the cheese tastes amazing too.

10/10 have one every time I can.

My weird “paranormal” quirk is knowing when someone is sick by smell. My nose is usually blocked up and I can barely smell flowers but for some reason I can just tell when someone is incubating some sickness that will make them bedridden the next day.

No idea how it works. I just smell “sick” - it’s kind of this warm earthy ground smell. I can even smell it on myself sometimes and I’ll know I need to take a day off tomorrow. My theory is I can smell something off in the skin temperature.

If it’s the UK it’s cheaper to meet in a random ass village in Lapland. (Or Mallorca).

Why is everyone suggesting ventoy and stuff and no one is telling you to just reformat drives you no longer need? Or are they all live OSs in use? Am I missing something?

When I lived in Germany I told this joke to a bunch of people.

Foreigners were either slightly offended (for the jab at germans) or found it chuckle worthy.

Germans couldn’t stop laughing.

You’re right, but they do lead the Gaza strip.
