Just want to make sure everyone know about naproxen (Aleve, Naprogesic, etc), because I’m met several people in their 40’s who still didn’t know it exists. Over the counter, not a pain killer, targets the cause and stops cramps/nausea etc.

I had no Idea Orange Julius was a thing until I visited the Philippines and ate at “Orange Brutus” and wondered where they got such a peculiar name from.
You forgot budgie smugglers.
I already had the motivation to drive correctly, getting upset wouldn’t improve that motivation, just make driving more difficult.
I pride myself on being a safe and courteous driver. We all make mistakes, especially when learning.
When I started driving again recently after a 20 year hiatus I was getting upset when I made mistakes; running stop signs, forgetting indicators, etc.
But then I realised all I was doing was making it hard to concentrate, which could lead to more errors, maybe even a fatal crash.
I quickly adopted this “Oops that was illegal but it’s fine” attitude. Notice my mistake, and move on.

We stayed in a few different places across BC and Alberta. I can remember they all had drip coffee machines, but I can’t actually remember if they were equipped with kettles, too! That being said, the addition of drip coffee makers could have been for American tourists (I did make good use of them though).
I think it’s a default item everywhere except north America.
As part of reviewing a stay, Airbnb always asks if the place had a coffee maker. I’ve only ever ticked yes in the US, Canada, and Indonesia.
(edit: I should clarify, it asks if there was a coffee machine, but it DOESN’T ask if there was a kettle, showing the US-centric app design.)
For efficiency, yes, for dramatic effect, no.
Digital nomad in Indonesia here. People are friendly, food is great, scenery is beautiful, and weather is cool but not cold this time of year. I wouldn’t live here full time, but I wouldn’t live anywhere full time (because I am a nomad!).
I don’t agree with many of the laws here but that is true of pretty much everywhere.
I’m in Indonesia. When the rebrand announcement happened I checked x.com and it was indeed blocked. But twitter.com worked fine (I mean, worked just like you’d expect a garbage dump to).
I checked a couple days later and it was the same. Now both work correctly.
If twitter.com got blocked it must have been for a very short period and at a weird time. I can’t imagine a redirect from a previously unrelated website triggering a block.
Yep, you can get mod. Just press the shortcut keys alt+f4 and you will be given mod status.

I know a lot of young people these days that have to live in crowded share houses because there’s nothing else they can afford in the area where they work, and still 70%+ of their income goes towards rent and board.
Where I’m from, the cost of living has skyrocketed compared to when I was starting out, but the wages haven’t changed. I’ve benefited greatly from that due to capital gains, but it makes it a lot harder for Gen Z to achieve the same thing, even if they do scrimp and save. I can understand people being demoralised and living for today instead, as it seems impossible to improve your position by much.
Some great answers here so I’ll do something different and I’ll give myself as a real-world example.
As a young adult, through a twist of luck, I found a cheap place to rent, so was able save a good amount of my income. I used that saving to get a loan, buy property, and used that property to get a loan and buy a property, and then do it once again. A short while later I now have no debt, can sit on my arse browsing lemmy in Bali (exploiting geo-arbitrage), and live off the market-rate rents my tenants pay back home.
If my tenants didn’t have to pay market-rate rents, they too might be able save some cash and become capitalists themselves. I could lower the rent, but then I would have to get a job and actually earn my living again. People born into wealth can even skip that step of having to earn their initial capital.
But whats the point of owning income producing assets (like property, or business) if you’re not improving your situation with it? The ONLY benefit of the capitalist system is that it allows the capitalist to reap the benefits of other’s work, thus reducing the burden of the capitalist to work themself.
It’s a ridiculous situation, I should not be able to live as I do, simply because I got a lucky break at the start of my working life, an opportunity that is given to the very few. The system should change.
There ain’t no party like a Liz Lemon party, 'cause a Liz Lemon party is mandatory.

He was good friends with a friend of mine so we went out to dinner and hung out in his apartment. He’d just turned down the offer to write an opening song for One Piece, because he’d never heard of it, and was regretting it immensely (as a consolation they did the ending of the 2003 movie).
Working in games I’ve worked with more famous people, like Tim Curry and Billy West, but never met any of them. Still cool to see your name in the same credits roll :D.
