Lol. Will the church spend even a tiny fraction of its wealth to help families? No? Didn’t think so. Get fucked🖕

TIL that students’ lunch debt is a thing that exists 😳 In the words of Lauren Mayberry, “Americans are fucking weird”.

Shocker. Who could have seen this coming?!

Ads "destroyed" TV. Streaming only became popular because it meant no fucking ads. Now ads are destroying streaming. Circle of capitalist life, I suppose.

I think you’re missing the point a wee bit. No one (introverted or otherwise) is arguing against in-person socialising in general. They are arguing against forced in-person socialising with co-workers.

online meetings are extremely transactional

Exactly. You know what else is transactional? Jobs. The employer and employee exchange work for currency. Employees don’t owe their employer any meaningful relationships with their co-workers. I’m sure that means less efficient business. I also don’t give a flying fuck.

Not a horrible place to be stuck, though. Pop!_OS is pretty great. I run it on my media server and it’s been rock solid. I definitely wouldn’t mind running it on an old laptop.

WD/SanDisk have completely gone to shit. I’d go with Seagate. I have a bunch of IronWolf Pro drives that have been fast and reliable.

So manipulative is in quotes but slam isn’t. Quality writing there.

He did this to himself yet will only blame others

The true republican way!

Mullvad all the way

I guess you might be hearing it movies set in New York City, which is in the southern tip of the state of New York. All the other notable cities, the Catskill mountains, Niagara Falls, and other attractions are all further north, or upstate. I wouldn’t be totally surprised if the expression got picked up by a wider crowd to mean “north”.

I find it similar to Scotland in many ways. It’s bloody cold and windy. Always reminds me of that Fairytale of New York song. The lyrics go “the wind blows right through you, it’s no place for the old”.

Wool layers work best. A long wool coat is perfect, if you have one. Puffer jackets are too bulky and sweaty if you take the train or the bus. You definitely need boots, but make sure they’re warm, waterproof and comfortable. You’ll be walking a lot.

Have fun!

Fuck yeah! Team orca all the way.

Voyager

It won’t. They’ll still visit in droves and complain about the parking.

They own some of their servers and rent others. From their FAQ:

All of our VPN servers are encrypted and are either owned by us or dedicated servers that we rent.

• Our rented servers are all dedicated, meaning they are not shared with anyone else. We do not use virtual servers.

• With the servers that we own, we have physical control over these, which means they tend to be faster and more secure.

When connecting, you can filter to only show owned servers.

Ones I’ve personally heard:

• parking (either insuficient or too tight)

• speed of service in restaurants

• “why don’t they speak english?!”

• accessibility for the disabled (this one is actually pretty fair, but it’s also very hard to fix)

Edit, PS: the lack of public toilets is also a fair complaint. It’s also a pretty common one, even in New York and London. Amsterdam comes to mind as a decent counter-example, at least for men. There are urinals strewn about most everywhere in the city.

Mandatory fuck deregulation and fuck AT&T!

I agree with the sentiment, but if Mint and Pop needed too much tinkering for OP, a hackintosh out of his Nvidia laptop would be out of the question, I assume.

Absolutely! Shitty, entitled tourists are everywhere and hail from everywhere. It’s part of the reason travelling is such a pain nowadays.
