Where would you come across a bull though? I’ve never seen one in a field with cows.

Yep. SwiftKey sometimes has strange predictions etc but (unfortunately) that one’s the best out of the many different ones I tried.

I know a bunch of people who lost interest over time around the same time as me, it’s when they had this season-long storyline. Not sure which season it was.

The kids act too adult now, Chef disappeared, other common characters are rarely there anymore or changed completely (Garrison turned into Trump?), then the weed stuff / Tegrity, Warcraft – all not that great IMO.

The first seasons were great, good to re-watch. But it’s like they kind of gave up since season 10 or so. The characters, topics and the humor are all different now.

Usually, yes. But not where I stayed. It was all locked down. Maybe I just had bad luck. It was in Triest and Milan by the way.

Several hostels I stayed at closed at 10 pm and wouldn’t allow people to go in or out

Avoid French cities: people constantly harass you for money and drugs and it looks shady and feels uncomfortable everywhere. Smaller towns can be nice.

And Italy: it’s expensive, people are rude and arrogant and nearly every place I stayed at gave me a curfew so you can’t even go out at night (but there’s nothing to see there anyway).

Having worked in a call centers, I feel like it’s the dumbest, most self centered boomers with “customer is king” attitude that just want to shout at someone rather than fix their issues (that can usually be fixed with a Google search). It’s like they need people to suffer. Just let them hang up when people are disrespectful instead of this shit.

The languages I’m most familiar with are quite closely related to English, so I don’t think that’s really the case.

Actually, one thing I can think of is that English trends to aspirate initial stops, which probably makes those clusters harder to pronounce

Fleppensteijn , 6 days ago to asklemmy in What is an underrated/forgotten video game that you think deserved a second chance?

Streets of Rage, even if it’s just for the music

The original GTA, it somehow has the atmosphere of 80s/90s that only Více City could kind of replicate (and multiplayer was fun)

What’s strange is that many other languages don’t allow words starting with pt- or ps- neither but have no trouble pronouncing Greek loan words that do.

Fleppensteijn , 6 days ago to asklemmy in Why do you choose to continue living?

I thought I’d just travel a bit and do nothing until I’m broke before I end it, but life was great then. Now I’ve sacrificed 10+ years trying to save some money for who knows what. Got to make it worth the sacrifice before I go

Fleppensteijn , 8 days ago to asklemmy in What does the world think of India?

Too many cultures/languages in a large space, they should split into smaller countries, it’s like judging Europeans from knowing some Brits, but

– People with money are very arrogant, selfish and wasteful – Many clingy/creepy people that keep talking to you when no longer appropriate – Headbobbing – Mostly friendly, sometimes too polite – Workaholics – Always complaining about their parent’s high expectations – Lots of IT workers who know what they learned to do step by step but it’s like they don’t know why they do what they do – Pretty condescending to other Indians from other regions – The usual: good but spicey food, hot weather, corruption, expensive weddings, overcrowded but still mass producing babies

I didn’t downvote but probably people won’t sit through a long video when the points he’s making could be a short list. At least give a summary.

Fleppensteijn , 25 days ago to asklemmy in Can I refuse MS Authenticator?

Yeah but you install that stuff on your work computer. If my job requires me to use an authenticator on a non-work phone, then at least let me use the one I’m already using.
