  I have brought a similar but working device into a bdsm session and I can attest that humor in bdsm in one of the fucking hottest things ever. Nothing compares to laughing while dominating someone. Bonus points if the sub has a tickle fetish, hilarity is ensured.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Engine auto-off⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel knocking the starter with a hammer is a universal 80s driving experience. Like changing the electric distributor contacts mid trip, and using starter spray when the damn thing refuses to turn on again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Engine auto-off⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oil isn’t the problem, my car will turn on again before too much oil drains out of the engine and oil pressure sinks too low. Cooling is, interstingly, so they switched to an electric water pump for cooling - it will stay running during auto off so you don’t get too hot temperatures in the turbo for example. (4cyl 2l engine has a turbo)

  There’s quite a bit of tech going into auto off since it first appeared. (Heh, my first car in 1989 had an aftermarket start stop switch to stop the engine at the traffic light - i never used it except once or twice for fun - still one cylinder exploded one day on the Autobahn)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Engine auto-off⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends very much on the car. My car has auto off and starts up the engine as soon as the car in front of me starts moving (it detects that with the parking and radar sensors).

  Or if I just move the foot off the braking pedal the engine will be fully running as soon as my foot reaches the gas pedal.

  It’s at 2017 Mercedes, at the time they already spent some effort into that tech, for example I have an electrical water pump that keeps up the circulation even during auto off and the starter is different so it can start the car even while starting to move.

  The only moment I turn it off (ok switch to sport mode which turns autostop off) is when I want to race someone at the light in order to change lanes in front of them later.

  I normal operation you don’t notice.

  Ah and last year autostop did not work for a few months as my battery was old, the car noticed and refrained from stopping the engine until I got a new battery (It will also do if I need aircon or the motor is too cold or a number of other conditions)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah, customer service⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but when you DO know the system ia totally fucked.

  Calling customer service that have no cmie what they’re taking about either, pushing you through a script. One fun time my internet connection was broken and I called the provider. They walked me through all the windows settings to check if I had set up things correctly. I did run Linux, but hat set up Windows for other people so frequently that I knew how each dialog looked and how it’d respond to the failure, so I just lied. FINALLY in the end of the call that guy scheduled a reboot of my port on the provider’s DSLAM which made things work again…

  (And no, not all customer service is like this. I also got amazing support of people who know what they are talking about, but they cost more for the companies than just outsourcing to the cheapest generic call center.)

  Last Sunday I ate pasta with olives and got really sick afterwards. I fucking regret eating those olives.

  And as this is a shitpost, YES i was shitting all night. And vomiting. But this is not a vomitpost.

  Still I really regret eating those olives.

  That’s hard to find out. When I was in school I was captivated by American movies and music, mostly all blockbuster movies came out of the us.

  Before that - I’m from the southern part of Germany, so we had a lot of US influence after WW2, whereas other parts of Germany had French, British and Russian military here.

  I suppose WW2 had a big impact in Europe, as English speaking troops came in and saved people from Nazi Germany. Interestingly that’s how it feels in some parts of Germany even (they saved us from the Nazis) - as absurd as it is, when you’re aware how much support the Nazis had in the population.

  Nevertheless English was a big positive thing - and the answer probably is “both the UK and the US”. My dad was a huge Beatles fan as a teenager and fans want to understand the lyrics. All you need is love.

  Also don’t forget Europe has so many languages - so when we talk to each other we use what the most of us know - English. I do believe that they “EU” with its more open borders also brings people to use more English.

  Unfortunately I (unsuccessfully) was taught Latin in school, not French - so English is my only tool in Europe to communicate beyond my native language. It worked everywhere I visited.

  In some countries there’s a age gap, with people below 40 or so are much more fluent in English, but AFAIK it’s mandatory as a second language across schools in a big part of Europe.

  English had that role even before the internet. Do you really belive we became fluent in English only in the 90s?
