My happiness peaked sometime around 10-11 years old, it's been downhill ever since


My CPU can run Windows 11 fine, but what I don't tolerate is full-screen ad pop-ups on my desktop.

When Win10 popped up an ad for Win11, I moved fully to Linux the next day.


99% of students had cafeteria lunch and I was one of a couple with a lunch box. Teachers in the hallway would see it and get mad until I showed them my sandwich lol.


Not just the US, my village in Germany has a limit of 30 kph, people drive through with 60.


We're 30mph through my village but because it is a 'cut through' the local government deem it to be important and the speed cannot be reduced. Even though we had two cars go round a sharp bend into a tree within a month of each other, in dry conditions.


Not Germany here but I witnessed buses of the bus company of my former city driving at 50 or more in a 30 km/h area. Some of those areas have a 30 limit because of a good reason, some probably only to add up kilometers and make the city council look good.


Have the village start adding some wicked speed bumps.


Speed bumps work but putting big flower pots in the way is even better. It forces people to slow down without giving them the feeling that they get slowed down for no reason.

We humans are so easy to trick.


My bank replaced it's banktown.com url with b-twn.com, I thought I was on a phishing site, but it's legitimate.

I asked some really stupid questions on IRC when I first heard of this "Linux" thing as a kid. Good times!


Cold Clear Vater


Hah, quite.

I only cosplay Deutscher Sprecher.

Most of my German linguistic skills come from listening to Chicks on Speed.


Any app/website/program/whatever where one might typically use an emoji usually has a button next to the input for selecting one.

So, yeah, I've never needed a dedicated emoji picker myself, even though I've had Rofimoji installed for a while.
