Took my teenage daughter to a sellout arena concert for a band she likes. This photo from the venue accurately represents the audience demographic.
I once accompanied a teenager to one of those horse-girl movies. The auditorium was completely full, and apart from two young women who seemed to be doing it ironically, I was the only adult in the theater. During the interval, I noticed how other adults handled it: They accompany the children to the movie theater and then have two hours to enjoy a few drinks.

Housing Rule
Since I found out about the neighborhood association, I've been rather suspicious of this land of the free.

Pretty much every day someone parks their car on the tram tracks and blocks our city's tram network from operating
The city of St. Gallen in Switzerland simply charges CHF 20 per minute that the tram is blocked. (21€ / $25) https://www.srf.ch/news/zug-blockiert-falschparken-kostet-20-franken-pro-minute

Don't worry, the Swiss labor camp was run by [checks notes] a literal Nazi
A saying from this time: The Swiss work six days a week for Hitler and pray on Sunday for the victory of the Allies.

Map of Every Country that the USA has invaded, bombed, couped, supported dictators, supported terrorists and/or interfered in elections since 1900.
Because the criterion "bombing" is explicitly mentioned, Switzerland must also be colored red. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_incidents_in_Switzerland_in_World_War_II

This was a big deal. You could play a game on your cell phone
The fucking battery is almost empty after just three days! Just because I played Snake every break.

Well, shit.
I was hired as a backup representative and just wanted to know what I was dealing with and make a clear statement.

Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber
I am not a programmer, not a geek, but just the ability to recognize problems and then find and implement the solution gives me the aura of an omniscient wizard. Simple things like: We have an automatic drying machine for work clothes here, but we haven't been able to use it for YEARS! A Google search, manual found. We now have the third coffee machine. They always break because of the chalky water. When we descale, the display still lights up: If I really go through the instructions in the manual step by step, it suddenly works. And that's before we get to any multiple screens or Excel problems with the sum function.
If you can interpret your car's manual, you're a hero. If you can also get hold of the vehicle's repair manual, then you're a wizard. And if you understand the sum function in Excel, then you are a danger to your supervisor.

Linguine is the better spaghetti. IMHO.

However, this assumes that the customer knows what the brand names "Barbie" and "Hot Wheels" stand for. Perhaps she just had to bring such a menu of toys to a boy and didn't have the cultural knowledge behind the terms. It would have been helpful: A doll or a toy car?

I don't want to portray Switzerland as a poor, innocent victim here. As already described in this commentary.
