I’ve never heard of flashing to pass?! In Australia that’s straight up road rage antics. You might want to check whether your local customs apply to the places you travel. That kind of misunderstanding could get you hurt.

What do you mean by ‘euros’? Do you think 44 different countries have the same views?

It’s the female equivalent of driving a Cybertruck. It’s kind of them to signal they’re worth avoiding.

I fucking loved pt cruisers

I think I still do

Literally how I spent the day back in 2008 whiling away the hours at a job I was overqualified for. Hitting the random article button. So many South American soccer teams though.

Honestly, I back the hustle. Even catch me outside chick. If that gets you ahead, fair does. Men have been espousing far more damaging rhetoric and making a buck. Go for it. Disclaimer: I’ve not listened to her podcast so she could be a Nazi for all I know. But young people, cost of living - if it works and it’s not hurting you or the community, then go for it.

This was an excellent summary of all three.

Yeah it seems the topic is irrelevant. They’ll eventually just start yammering about communism, Linux and ublock. It’s hard to have a conversation on here that doesn’t get sidelined by those things. I can’t imagine these people carrying on a normal conversation in the real world, and I don’t think they understand that the world exists outside of those narrow interests.

Like OP will say they hate MS Teams. Person will say stop using Microsoft. OP will say, I’d love to but my government employer is an MS shop. Person will say then quit your job. K…

It’s either very sheltered people who’ve not worked or interacted in ‘the mainstream’ or, really young naive people who think that your FOSS convictions will stand up against the need to earn a living.

I prefer it to Reddit still, but it gets a bit tedious.

Go

I think this is my favourite suggestion. I can draw but like most people have placed my hobbies in the ‘oh I need time to sit down and do that’ which is rubbish really (I doodled through decades of office work and meetings) so that’s certainly something I can do!

I’m also guilty of hoarding little notebooks, moleskins etc that are easy to keep on hand.

Cheers!

The way I try to approach these threads is to try and pretend there’s a bunch of people sitting around having a conversation.

If you’re familiar with the dynamic, and you emulate it here, you might enjoy yourself more. Or you could do this I suppose?

Each to their own.

Oh that’s cool, I’ll check it out - thanks!

Anything else doing?

Oh gosh I’ve tried Duolingo so many times over the years and never gotten far. I’m impressed with people who keep it up.

Can you tell me more about the games you like? I have lots but I’m pretty bored with most of them.

That’s cool. How was your day otherwise?

Already muted compadre

Yeah I think it’s the flat, arid looking neighbourhood plus the kids in costume on a mission - it’s very similar

Reminds me of ET when they’re all in costume

That’s one of the ways you can enjoy yourself. There are others but calling them ‘better’ than that is just ignorant.
