“Hey guys I’m trying to reduce the cost of my waluigi cosplay, what should I get rid of?”

“Uhhh, the lingerie?”

Absolutely Not

BartsBigBugBag , to memes in My only regret is that this joke gets closer to reality every year.

It was reality when this aired. Skeevy business man prioritizing personal gain over societal well-being has been a part of the American fabric for decades. This specific archetype dates back at least to the 80s.

I've only been all over China and Vietnam and I've never seen these.

TIEPilot ,

Same HK and S China, never seen them either. HK makes sense considering the GB influence but I wanted to flex I have been to HK (before the chaos). What an amazing city it was… sobs

OsakaWilson , to nostupidquestions in Why do asian roads have striped curbs?

Define Asian. I live in “Asia” and have never seen this.

Sigh, in the United States everything west of Los Angeles is “asia”.

That’s great news! I don’t need to buy an expensive plane ticket to Asia, because I’m already there.

dQw4w9WgXcQ ,

The huge sign behind the curb seems to say “Singapore”, so that narrows it down a bit.

In my country there are two combinations:
White & black = it's ok to park
Yellow & black = no parking

Hotdogman ,

Simple, it’s stripped black and white.

They simply recognize their ancestors buried there.

Anybody got some tips for lying on your resume? I’m not a very good liar

@bmaxv@noc.social avatar

@oshitwaddup @yogthos can't find the source anymore but I saw a video that basically said "the closing of twitter was so chaotic you can claim whatever you want, they can't check whether you are lying"

So if you are already on board with lying your resume... That? Former "senior backend engineer 5years"?

Obviously don't put stuff they can just check, like claiming skills they can just test you for.

Also maybe not lead positions those people might be too famous.

dragnucs , to nostupidquestions in Why do asian roads have striped curbs?

Generally, the color of the curb indicates where or not you can park a car there and for how much time. It may also indicate if it is reserved for a dedicated veihcile type.

fraksken ,

I suspect this is a remnant of the British era. Don’t quote me on that. In Belgium we have yellow panted stripes to indicate you’re not allowed to park. Similar.

marcos ,

I always though it was at the UN agreement for road signaling.

A lot of countries that that same standard.

fraksken ,

You might be totally correct!

tehcpengsiudai Bot ,

Not 100% sure in the case of Singapore, but the double yellow lines indicate no stopping.

For places where we are allowed to park on the sides of the roads, there are either lot spaces already allocated and drawn out, or there will be no lines painted on the road.

Double yellow lines in the picture here indicates no stopping at all times, so it would be a little pointless to have the curb indicate no parking again.

The curb might just be for visibility, can’t confirm.

givesomefucks , to nostupidquestions in Why do asian roads have striped curbs?

You picked a picture of outside a prison…

It could just mean “no parking” and not be on every curb

Fiivemacs ,

I dunno…I’m pretty sure it’s a Rison

tehcpengsiudai Bot ,

The double yellow lines indicate no parking stopping. I think the stripes are mostly for visibility.
