You choose to. But the rest of the world, that didn’t have a vote in your elections, is forced to.

Who said they were asking them? Seems to me that you may have misunderstood the concept of “bringing” them.

Tbf, smoking is a no-go for me. And depending on the amount, drinking might be too. For the rest? I’m pretty sure if I found a woman like that, I’d find her extremely hot.

They are mandatory in Ireland, so please stop the “Europe” stuff.

I haven’t said they are not mandatory in Europe. I have said that I am European and haven’t seen them in the countries I lived in.

Tell me, are Spain and Italy countries that for some reason disqualify you from being European or did you just have a rough morning?

I’m genuinely curious: why do you need smoke detectors? I’m asking as an european that has lived without them all their life in more than one country. They are not mandatory here and not even common. What’s the reason to install ther? (I know the reason is to detect smoke, I’m asking the underlying reason behind the need to detect smoke)

Idk, having something that could melt metal from a safe distance as a deterrent seems a bit overkill. But don’t take my word for it, I might be overreacting.

It’s all about peer pressure: don’t bother her or they will suffer the consequences.

Every single italian who watched that scene took offense at how they looked at Tina. They are not welcome here.

I’ve worked for a touristic business where I live and I had to talk to many usians a day.

I learned there are two types of usians:

1. Those who come to the country to enjoy it; and they are usually cool people with whom you can have a great time.
2. Those who come to the country to be served. And they are extremely insufferable assholes to whom I only wish an intestinal bug that lets them stuck in the bathroom for the whole holiday.

Other than that, it was almost impossible to tell their political compass.

There is an issue in autistic individuals with textures. And it’s an issue you can’t really understand if you don’t suffer it. Yeah, I dress by texture rather than fashion. And those tags are hellish to me and many other autistic people in ways that only them understand.

It’s kinda concerning and pretty annoying when some people start with the “this is a normal reaction, not an autistic thing”.

One of the series that has died for me over the course of the years. From the bullshit exclusivity deals, to the “first on console” assholery, they killed the saga for me. That without mentioning the greed and idiocy surrounding 7 remake.

The only thing I still love from final fantasy it’s Soken’s music, but the series is going downhill really fast for me.

If you somehow manage to put that shit on me, you better kill me afterwards. Because if I take it off, you’re going to deal with an overloaded velocirap human that’s going to show you the meaning of overcharged anger.

I discovered it when I was an adult. But in my case it was the opposite, it was a “oh… so I wasn’t the bad guy, I was just being weird to them and they were being dicks about it”.

Look at that! The free market regulating itself without any intervention from the government! Just what the republicans love most, right?

Italian has a few that might be hard to translate:

Fottesega: “fucks a handjob/saw”? This one I reckon might be really difficult to translate but “fotte” means “fucks” (the verb, not the noun), and “sega” is both a saw and a handjob so it’s anyone’s guess how to translate it.

We also have “m’importa 'na sega” or “I care a handjob/saw”. This is easier to translate, and I love hearing it in Tuscany accent, top notch.

Also, Spanish has some other: You can change the cucumber with a pepper bell (pimiento) and works the same.

There’s also “Me importa tres cojones” or “I care three balls”. It’s specifically three, because, you see? The word “cojones” is probably the one with most meanings in our language, it has to be three because it’s the number for showing an extremely low value thing.

Meanwhile, I can go to a certain website, get the gba rom and even a romhack adding tons of QOL features and new stuff.

Then, thanks to emulators, I can play it on any device, have cloud saves if I want, online multiplayer for free, in any language I like and for only $0.00

Sadly, most of us don’t have a big enough wallet to be in the  safe side of the files.

Interesting… when grok was undressing children publicly, nobody started an emergency procedure to immediately blocb the bot without notifying Felon.

Now, tho, when there’s a fucking soccer game involved? Let’s block internet access, we wouldn’t want someone to watch a game for free!

Fuck them, fuck them badly. Hope a deadly cancer reaches them all.

I was sent to another country overseas for (initially) one month (they made it two in the end, deciding for it a day before I was coming back). They noticed me about it one week before the depart.

While I was abroad, working my ass 14 hours a day, 6-7 days a week, I was contacted by a headhunter. I explained them the situation and they understood it. They planned an interview for the first day after my (supposed) return.

When my employer decided to keep me there for another month, I had to contact the headhunter, explain it and they rescheduled without issues.

I came back and, as pissed as I was, went to the interview and nailed it. Few days (and interviews later), I had a new job. By then, my current job knew nothing (yet), I was about to give my notice when something happened:

Right before lunch, my then manager, calls everyone and starts a speech saying there’s “some people” who are lately lacking will and enthusiasm because, and I quote, “they clock in at exactly 8 am and clock out at 5pm without caring if there’s other people still working”. That was directed at me because I was pissed and started to simply follow my shift to the second. He continued rambling about how there’s people who don’t deserve to work there and other indirect attacks that clearly had my name on them.

I was going to give my two weeks notice that day, personally, to my boss, but the “meeting” got me so pissed that I decided to be pety about it:

Here, you can, instead, notify the ministry of employment online about your two weeks notice and they send an official notice to the employer in your place.

The boss found about it the same day he called me to offer me a raise. It goes without saying but he wasn’t happy about the notice. He sent me home and told me to never come back. I took my stuff, went home and enjoyed my free days until I started on my current job.

Even that is gonna become a problem to find in a few months. I’m fucked because my computer is due for an upgrade (built futureproof, which allowed me to go for almost 10 years without upgrades) but now it’s showing signs of aging. I’m probably getting a steam machine in the first batch even if it costs a thousand because I am certain that thousand will turn into two or even three in the next year (if it’s even possible to find)
