I don't know where you are, but it might be something about being within the EU. I am in the EU, and never get any of the ads and other shit people complain about. Like the biggest complaint I see about smart tv's is that they'll show ads on the smart screen, or install random apps, and neither my current Samsung tv, or my previous LG tv has ever done anything like that.

It looks cozy and all, but I'm happy my area doesn't get much snow anymore. People suck at driving in it, it sucks to clear it out, it's cold, wet and slippery when walking.

Yea I'm not a fan of snow...

I mainly use it as a search engine, like: "Find me an article that explains how to change a light bulb" kinda shit.

I use the term as a general insult towards people who seem hellbent on never learning from their mistakes. Like when people keep voting for politicians who openly advocating for violence against those same people, or when people keep getting in car accidents because they think everyone else is the problem (Oh the irony though).

Would never use it towards someone medically incapable of learning from their mistakes, that's just cruel and not their fault.

Let's assume it doesn't hold your spot in the line. I see absolutely no reason why it wouldn't, but whatever. I'd rather have to wait for a call for 3 hours, while doing literally anything else than sit and listen to their godawful elevator music, that stops every 20-ish seconds, just long enough to make you believe you've been put through.

Why are you making such a fuzz out of this? Is it that hard, to be told someone else knows something you apparently don't?

I can.

I've only ever eaten european blue cheeses, and a great variety of them. It's not just about the blue colour, it's about the hairyness of the mold, the exact tint of blue that is in the picture, and the spread. The mold in the picture isn't good.

Absolutely a bad sign. I have eaten a LOT of different blue cheeses throughout the years, including blue cheeses with the "wrong" mold on accident, and I absolutely guarantee that the bluer one is the wrong mold. You don't take a bite out of that shit without making sure you're never making that mistake again...

I feel like the whole cinema experience has just dropped hard. People have gotten noisier in my local cinema, the prices are way up, and the movies are just as good, if not better in my living room 3 months later when it hits streaming services.

No matter how much I'm looking forward to a movie, something that hasn't really happened this year anyway, I just can't get myself to throw €50 at a ticket, popcorn and a soda that is mostly water, when I know I can watch it with better snacks and better soda in 3 months, practically for free.

I have "fat fuck" and "sheit for brains". Love them to bits.

I've found a company where the leadership genuinly respect their employees, and trust them enough that if someone needs a day off to go to the doctor, or needs to work from home because their car is in the shop, there's simply no question about it. If someone is sick, then they're sick until they're no longer sick and show up to work again.

This means I am more than happy to help my boss with an urgent issue until 5 pm on a friday if it's needed, because I know he values it, and I know I'm not getting any complaints if I have to leave at 12 pm the next friday to go to the dentist.

If leaders cared about their workers, their workers would care about their jobs and actually do more than the bare minimum, because if you give some, you get some.
