OK so I understand the Dutch have a reputation, but if you are making your ride wait on you because you aren’t ready at the appointed time - nevermind the fact that your ride isn’t charging you for gas (one hopes, since OP is going anyway and offered to pick him up, to do so would be just as rude as the coffee) - it would just be too unbelievably outrageous to bill them half a Euro. I have to conclude that this is ragebait.

I understood this reference. Thanks @[email protected]!

I knew that 100000000000 figure was misleading!!!

Huh. I thought it was the invisible things that only cats can see that makes them kinda crazy.

I’m not autistic, nor have I ever gravely injured someone through my own action (or inaction) that I know of, but I will tell you this: I don’t understand how these attention-starved children driving these rice burners with their goddamn POW POW UNF POW exhaust systems (and you fuckers know what I’m talking about) are allowed to exist.

I am not a violent person, but I would read their obituaries with great satisfaction.

I’ve been having problems with it misbehaving on this instance for a while, so I know where you’re coming from. Was also having problems on lemmy.world - but they seem to have beaten whatever it was, because it works fine there now. I really can’t stand lemmy’s interface without old so I’ll check back here every few weeks or so to look over the piracy stuff and see if you added it back. Cheers.

Edit: I appear to have found a solution in opnxng! Which is good because I was tiring of .world.

No, they still exist.

In this week’s totally grassroots and natural discussion topics I keep seeing these two themes repeated over and over again (here and elsewhere): Open source developers should be paid employees - nay they must be! - oh and Firefox sucks. Boy does it suck. They’re going to be just like Chrome, just watch.

It’s like the “No for real bro I totally love paying for YouTube what the hell is wrong with you you freeloader” shit all over again.

I don’t feel like an oligarch.

I recently was holding out hope for a franchise that was similarly treated. I can tell you from experience that Sims 5 will make a billion dollars and they will then fire all the programmers who made it.

“that boner” or “that ‘boner’”?

God I know, Twitter is just the worst!

Not a cent of it was my money.

Oh FFS Akiva Goldsman and JJ Abrams? Well glad we all enjoyed the first one because the sequel is going to SUCK.

“I want to press the button - an essay” - actually funny stuff! I didn’t expect to chuckle, but I did several times. Wishlisted to keep an eye on it!

Do you exit it with escape colon q bang?

Balls right now. Just balls.

I went looking for a picture of it today and got very confused when maps sent me to Australia. There is a rural locale in Australia, named after the battle - Australian soldiers fought in the battle, so that does make sense. What threw me is that the road in the Australian version has a curvature that is very similar to the pictures in the OP:

And yet, this is not the actual Passchendaele. That short circuited my brain for a few seconds this morning, imagining that it had just… never been rebuilt? Wait… part of WWII was fought in Australia? wtf?

Anyway, no. The real deal is in Belgium. It was rebuilt. Here it is (lol):

How weird is that?

No, mid 70s but try as I might ffs, I can’t remember which of these was the culprit. I want to say the John Saxon one, because it was always John Saxon. But even then I am unsure.
