Hubert, did your mummy not tell you not to be so argumentative?

Right, I don’t care who the fuck you are or if you’re some kind of NHS consultant, if someone phones you. PHONES YOU! And tells you something like this, despite clear warnings from every bank and banking app you ever had not to believe them, and you believe it, I’m not going to feel sorry for you or blame your other banking app

True, but is it pedantic? The same people that complain they can’t find a job are the ones that make huge grammar mistakes in their applications or résumés.

I wouldn’t hire someone who was too lazy to proofread over someone who wasn’t; would you? And then why should that rule not apply to your fellows on the internet?

Sometimes if you don’t point out people’s mistakes, you’re actually hurting their future selves

I think everyone nowadays is a bit too accepting of other people’s faults to try to seem a bit more morally superior themselves, without realising that they’re actually being abusive in the long term

Anyway, I’m not actually serious here, I just wondered who would actually read this far

The ability to be spontaneous is directly related to your

Work/Life balance

It’s almost as though you could stand up and fight for that, I dunno

If you don’t know the difference between “your” and “you’re”, you’re probably getting fired at some point anyway

It’s not difficult and you could learn it in the space of a short walk

It’d impress your boss

You’re absolutely the exception, not the rule

Take your tiny-penis truck and leave, there’s a good fella

That, and also the mayor of Paris is on a massive anti-SUV bender at the moment, hiking up parking charges to discourage people from driving them

The judge has probably been told to send a message.

You don’t. Fuckin. Need. An SUV. You. Cunt

I think the outrage is due to the fact it was a cyclist. You can try driving round Paris and it’ll take years off your life.

Cycling is a whole different story. Drivers respect cyclists and give them a wide berth; they won’t overtake unless they can leave at least a metre. It’s just the done thing

Damn right this cunt should have the book thrown at him

Fantastic news for nature documentary makers who are married to taxidermists

Christ on a bike, you’d think they’d give it a more succinct name

(Either leave a blank line between lines, or put two spaces at the end of each word)

Brits in Spain -

Anything under €50 doesn’t require a pin. I think it’s going up to 100 soon.

Also our banking security technology is about 20 years ahead due to a simple ruling that banks are responsible for fraud, not consumers. You can happily share your bank details or put them on your website with no worries

You have to be reasonably dim or senile to get scammed

A whole month? You must’ve tried at least a dozen games

Pack em up boys, all games work in Linux

A decade? It was the turn of the century old bean

I’m still using windows and I’ve nothing to complain about; I know how to get it to work perfectly for me.

Go to the Linux community and 70% of the questions are “how do I get this to work?”

You definitely have a lot to complain about, and yous do, frequently. Most adults don’t have time to fanny about trying to get a program to work with their OS, so they’re happy with Mac or Windows

If Linux was everyday-usable they’d have waaaaaay more than 4% market share by now, it’s been over two decades

When I started working decades ago, we were taught how to use bent bits of fence wire to find underground pipes before digging

I literally found scores of pipes that way, and saw dozens of other people do it regularly. It was even taught at a local agricultural college as part of the horticulture course

Then someone told me it was a myth and doesn’t work, so I set up a blind test with a hidden bucket of water and I utterly failed to find it

I simply cannot explain this

Yeah I loved “It’s Like That”

I reckon we’ll get another year out of it, and I also think within a year, there will be plenty of workarounds to make W11 usable for moderately tech savvy people like us

The loudest voices shouting about how bad W11 is are always Linux users, especially on Lemmy
