'Murica isn’t the center of the world, numbnuts. And neither are you.
I worked in customer support for a car rental company when I was in my late teens in Ireland. An angry English woman called cause she had some minor issue. She ended up going on a rant saying “I specifically asked to not be given one of these foreign cars. Can’t you give me something British, like a Vauxhall?”
I checked her account and could see she was driving an Opel Astra. She wouldn’t believe me Vauxhall and Opel were the same brand.
I’m not even going to go into her referring to things as foreign while she was literally in a foreign country…
Is that you, Reagan?
The comments point you make is a really great one. I was the same on Reddit, never engaging on something because by the time it appeared in my feed, it would be thousands of comments deep. Everything that needed to be said had been said.
But on Lemmy, it’s much easier to jump in and actually have a conversation.
I switched over when it was announced Sync for Reddit was closing, but became much more active when Sync for Lemmy arrived due to it being an interface I had been familiar with for a decade. But the move came at a time where I was taking steps to reduce my empty consumption too, deleting social accounts and replacing them with books and newspaper subscriptions. The lower content count on Lemmy is perfect for that as it means I still get great stuff in my feed, but it’s not really possible to scroll forever. Instead I now open a newspaper app, use Pocket to read an article I’ve saved or pick up my book on the Kindle app. I’m generally just consuming much better quality media due to much fewer distractions.
BBC abuses the hell out of that feature. They’ve pinged phones for much less than this in the past.
WTF does that have to do with this article? You went out with some people from two countries and your opinion instantly makes everyone from those countries “sick in the head”? I’m Irish and can happily tell you that you’re talking shit.
I second this!
I actually use an Orbitkey holder to keep things neat and less bulky. Strongly recommend adding their multitool to that too, which I find super helpful.
I have a Secrid Miniwallet for cards and some cash, but usually I just use Google Pay so rarely even have that with me now.
Absolutely this. I don’t mind eggs as an ingredient but straight up eating them is foul.
On the topic, can we please get some savoury brunch options which aren’t completely built around poached or scrambled eggs? Sure you can remove them, but it takes away such a massive percentage of the dish. Even vegan dishes just substitute the egg for a tofu scramble 🤢
I was at the final and loved Sweden and Finland. But yeah, Belgium is a great 90s banger. I still listen to it frequently and I hope Gustaph has more on the way.
I’m an immigrant in the UK and the country keeps giving me more and more reasons to leave. It’s turned into an absolute xenophobic hellhole in the last few years.
I wouldn’t go as far it’s them saying being gay is okay, but they’re claiming all queer people can come and be active members of the church. The issue is that they’re saying that while simultaneously treating LGBTQ+ people as second third degree citizens. They are “welcoming” us while also refusing to see us as equal and still claiming homosexuality is ungodly. It’s the bullshit cries of a cult in its death throes.
Is it progress though? It’s easy for them to talk the talk, but they don’t appear to be doing anything to walk the walk. This is lip service, at best.
Yeah, I, as a queer person who grew up in a Catholic country, always felt very welcome

It’s listed on their official update video so it does exist. But it says “on compatible devices and countries” so might only be on the newest phones so far?
