I’m guessing you’re a US American? Canada and Greenland do not exist right? No one lives there right? I mean, you’ve seen 3 places in Alaska, that’s enough to know them all isn’t it? Even the ones living 4000km away (that’s 22471910.112360 bananas in “freedom” units)
Its such an ignorant and dumb American thing to assume everyone is the same and the world outside the US doesn’t exist.
Clearly you have no clue to what the Canadian government, and the Danish government, have done to natives and why it’s such a sensitive word to many.
Why do you desperately want to support systematic racism?
FFS, Idiocracy was way too optimistic.

Ah yes. The “I know a black guy who isn’t offended by a white guy saying the N word so it’s ok to say it” argument.
They are not all the same. I know for a fact that there are indeed large groups who are offended by it. Just because you know a group / groups who are not offended, doesn’t mean all the others spread out all over half a continent feel the same way about it.

I had the same, but now I have custom ones and they do not fit in the tubes. I love the filter, but I still don’t know if I like these expensive custom ones better than 20 euro standard ones. They slide out easily, especially when I’m dancing in a hot place. The 20 euro cheap ones always stay in due to the rubber rings on them. It was definitely not worth the 220 euros to have custom ones made.

“eskimo” is a curse word for Inuit, meaning raw meat eater. Please stop use that word, it’s disrespectful.

You can have both. Just make it quick.

What van you do with just 20? Over here that’s not enough for most train tickets. You could get 2 beers and some fries. But going home with public transportation only works with 20 euros if your bike gets stolen in your own city.
I keep roughly 200 on me at all times. Several times I needed large parts of it for sudden expenses for which I couldn’t use a card, of when the card system was offline or something like that. Of a friend needs cash suddenly.

So when you lose your phone, you lose everything? So your phone becomes this thick brick in your pocket? No thanks.
Actually, the ear plug case is the same size as a card, so I have 3 cards, plugs and cash in it. It’s on my key ring. So I also don’t really have a wallet, but still a wallet. I usually have around 200 euros cash with me, that doesn’t fit into a phone case as it usually consists of 5s and 20s.

I get it you can pay with your phone these days. But I also have an ID and a public transportation card which can’t be on my phone. Also I have cash on me. Where to keep that? Every time I pull out my phone or keys money falls out of I keep it loosely in there. I know Gen Z doesn’t have any money, but where do you keep your drivers licence and public transportation card? And insurance card? Where do you keep your drugs then? I have some coke and keta in there as well. Putting it in my pockets and it ends up in the washing machine. And I keep a set of earplugs in there for when I go to a party or concert. Because I would always forget to grab them, I now have them with me all the time.

I used to insure every new phone I got. First one I didn’t, because I never broke my phone before, fell out of my hand and broke the screen after just 2 weeks. Sad face.

The Miele oven I had broke 2 months after 2 year warrenty. The mechanic who looked at it said it was dead, I needed to buy a new one. I found the issue myself, the spit roast function (which I never used) was broken. I unplugged it and the over worked again. The Miele mechanic costed €85.
Miele used to produce great devices which would last for 40 years. But also they found out you sell less when it never breaks. Now they rely on their good name while the quality becomes less.

Bad ones are also expensive. For what I’ve seen, the cheap ones are the non-smart basic function devices. They usually last longer and if they break they can be easily fixed with a screwdriver and a YouTube tutorial. You don’t need a Rolls Royce, a Toyota Landcruiser works just fine.

Well it easy to just repair your own washing machine yours-… Oh it’s Samsung, never mind. Overly complex electronics and digital control made to not be fixable and break just after warrenty. But on the upside, it has ads and doesn’t work without an app on your phone!
Remember the time when a washing machine actually was made to wash clothes, for over 20 years? Or a fridge, which was designed to keep your products cool, for over 20 years? Without a monthly subscription, no ads, no updates, no popups, no ai which doesn’t work, no phone connectivity required, etc. And all for a reasonable price, as it wasn’t an overly complex computer. 120 euros for a washing machine which lasts for over 20 years, or a 650 euros for one that lasts 3 years and 2 months.
We’re not buying appliences that make our life easy anymore. We’re just buying devices designed to make companies and billionaires as rich as possible.

I think most people overlook the importance of drinking really good coffee. Sure, you get some caffeine from blackwater, but the moment of enjoyment when drinking something proper, that moment of bliss in the morning, makes your day start so much better. Mediterranean countries understand this principle. Same goes for food.
- Comment on Black coffee 6 days ago:
I prefer my freshly grinded home brew. I’m never drinking Starbuck, it’s tasteless toxic waste. It’s not even in the coffee category. I prefer drinking my own piss over that equally disgusting yet expensive liquid waste.

Whatever lives in your car probably infected the coffee. The coffee is the least gross part in this photo.

Honestly, the coffee at the McDonald’s in Germany and the Netherlands is really good. Better than many coffee shops and Starbucks. It’s the only reason I sometimes go to McDonald’s. When traveling, it usually is the best you can get at train stations. Especially when drinking black.

I don’t know of a game, but I do know of a movie in Netflix. It was about the first world War, on the German side (forgot the name). They translated “kampf” as camp, so the subtitles said “we must go to the camp!” while in German they said “we must go to battle!” (kampf means struggle, battle).

Well, I guess Americans are going to have expensive energy bills next. After groceries and heath care. Next thing is a sports drink company going to buy the rights to water? So Brawndo will replace tapwater. Because it’s what plants crave, it has electrolytes.

Most of Lemmy consists of self centered US Americans. Nearly all the news is about the US. As if the world isn’t bigger than that failed state. I’m kinda done with their stupidity and ignorance.

Please add an F to it so everyone understands you’re using an outdated measuring system no one else uses anymore. Or mark your post as “For US only” as I doubt anyone from Myanmar is on Lemmy, since they barely have any internet. I wouldn’t call it “freedom” units, as both Myanmar and the US score low on the freedom scale.

This is from a movie! The latest Sascha Baron Cohen (Borat, Ali G) movie: Ladies First.
It’s about a misogynistic corporate prick who walks against a lamp pole and gets into a world where the roles between women and men are switched.
Don’t look at the online ratings, they have been fucked by conservative assholes and the manosphere, it’s actually a good movie.

Yeah! Buy a gaming console instead of having support against us, the mighty abusive employers! Getting fair wages is just dumb when you can play video games.
By the way, why so expensive? I pay 8 euros monthly, from my bruto income. While they made sure my previous employer didn’t fuck me over, for a staggering 5 years long fight. I had 5 lawyers. For 8 euros per month. And I won, which I couldn’t have done myself.
