• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨French culture⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh. Yeah. Right. Sure. Let’s say that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What American small talk sounds like to European 🇪🇺⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  They usually sound much more “squeaky” than that though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shuwerin⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is important information. Keep it on a laminated card in your wallet. You never know when it may come in handy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Celebrity Inquiries Season 2 Episode 4⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The first one, and she rocks herself to sleep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is raising prices on Xbox consoles, controllers, and games worldwide⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can connect the deck to your tv if you want a “console” experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They’d annex the land, and then deport all the Canadian foreigners that illegally immigrated in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Philosophy moment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And high packet loss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you understand how many people 350 million is? How did this worm ridden ball sack float to the top?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t either and I unfortunately recognise him. Although it’s still jarring whenever I hear him speak. I expect him to drop dead mid sentence. That perpetual death rattle is really strange. Like the movie’s longest death scene ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Satire, I think⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He could tariff all the other religions!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You won't believe no.1!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, but why should it be fought? And is dancing the best way?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subnautica 2 teases new creatures and co-op among the coral⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Will there be VR so we can pee our swimming trunks again?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Based tesla user???⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It wasn’t very easy to see without paying close attention to him though. And who was paying close attention to him at the time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Morpheus Actor Laurence Fishburne Reveals He Was Turned Down for The Matrix Resurrections — So He Might Not Be Back for Matrix 5 Either - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait a second, what do you mean “Matrix 5”?

  Don’t we have enough of those already? Are they going after the “Saw” record or what?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The inconsistent naming for insert row/columns in the German MS Office⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Huzzah for Kazumara, our local office software hero!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The inconsistent naming for insert row/columns in the German MS Office⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do the same. I get unreasonably annoyed by the horrible translations. I’d rather just have the original bad English.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The inconsistent naming for insert row/columns in the German MS Office⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember when IBM translated hard disks as “rigid disks” in French for some reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cox charges you $25 if your credit card is declined⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The US not having such a consumer friendly system is really unfortunate, but not surprising.

  Well, they’re consumer friendly, so of course the US won’t have them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't believe it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Microplastics and peas. Very traditional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to save so much money by not going to the US to buy one of those… I wonder what I’ll do with all that wealth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You see "him" everywhere including on ancient coins⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We call them…

  THE EUROZONE!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollywood Is Cranking Out Original Movies. Audiences Aren’t Showing Up.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have they tried putting a tariff on them to motivate the public?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you really have to let everyone know⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have my doubts, but you’re right, maybe it does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you really have to let everyone know⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But, advertising usually works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t drive often, living in a city and therefore not owning a car. But when I drive in the countryside, I use my blinkers whether there’s someone around or not. Just like I stop at red lights whether there’s someone else or not, etc. I just do what’s supposed to be done. Not having to wonder if there are others is one less thing to thing about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stuck⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It builds character, dammit!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Still a hard game though.

  I was saved at the last minute!

  Let me sing it to you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why didn't *I* think of that?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was very common to build on bridges in European cities. Seeing the river was rare. There are a few subsisting examples, but most houses are gone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why didn't *I* think of that?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In many places it was based on the number of windows, or on the width of the street facing façade… leading to odd styles of construction. It’s been a game of cat and mouse for quite some time.
