I don’t want to start a war here, but I don’t get why people argue that the EU is better than the US
Probably because the EU is better than the US. Just because its not perfect and has flaws, doesn’t make it as bad or worse as the US.
Indeed it is. If it had amazing capabilities and performance off road, if it was bulletproof, if its body panels (and apparently wheels) wouldnt fall off, if it had perfect self driving capabilities… It would still be stupid.
But it doesn’t have any of those tings. Its extremely stupid.
Oh okay. The more I learn about the insurance system over there, the more confused I am.
But I’m confused anyway so its probably a me problem.
Its rather obvious that the other guy meant health insurance. I didn’t even notice the different word they used by (presumably) accident, I guess my brain auto corrected it lol. But thanks for pointing that out.
Your life insurance rates go up if they find out.
Is this some sort of American joke that I’m too European to understand?
Excuse my over used joke, but that cant be true?
Yeah I know, I used to be a car mechanic lol.
I mean I’m not trying to argue that ICE is better than EV. Thats why I said that I completely understand that ICE’s are dinosaurs, looking in the sky wondering what that light, that is getting brighter, is. I like ICE’s for emotional and weird reasons, not because they are easy to use, easy to fix, easy to run etc.
For me, writing a journal, notes or to-do list on a app or text file is completely useless. I just forget about it. I forget what words I used, did I write in the dialect or the official written language way (my native language has a bunch of different ways to write shit and I mix them up constantly because I’m a useless dummy). Once I hit “save” thats the equivalent of erasing it from my brain memory.
If I write things down on paper, I remember the action of writing, I remember what words I wrote, I even remember in which spot in the notebook it was, for example, half a page down from the spot where I circled a important task the previous week or one page after the spot where I crossed over a bunch of text.
I just meant that the other languages I once learned, I don’t know anymore. :D Its been such a long time since I used them at all, I can understand some individual words if I read them, I can say “my name is ____” and “hello” in those languages but thats about it.
But yeah, I know how to speak my native language and English, thats two, so its technically correct that I know “multiple” languages :D
Its not about the performance or whatever. Its about how amazing it is that the things work at all. Pieces of metal flying up and down, going round and round, opening valves, closing valves, spraying atomized go-juice mixed with air at with amazingly precise timing and amounts…
Its a miracle they don’t just blow up 2 seconds after you start them. But instead they keep on going for hundreds of thousands of kilometers without much issue.
That sucks, I’m sorry to hear that.
Thats fine. I don’t need to deal with the majority of the population. I’m good with the handful of friends I have.
I look at it from a bit of a different perspective. If my friends cant be bothered to answer me when I call or reply to a Signal/SMS message, then I don’t think they value me as a friend and thus I shouldn’t really waste my efforts on them. I did lose some friends because I don’t use social media, but to be honest, I’d rather have the few who appreciate me enough to reply to me with “traditional” methods, than try to get a hold of people who are obsessed with facebook.
If someone thinks I’m a anti-social arsehole because I don’t have IG/facebook, thats their loss and my win. I couldn’t care less about such weirdos.
Eh, you don’t have to use it. I quit facebook in 2011, I’ve been fine without it. I’m also not on IG, tiktok, or any other ones. Just IRC and this place here.
Hehe. Funnily enough, English is the 3rd non-native language I learned but the only one I actually know these days. I’ve forgotten pretty much everything of the others.
Yes, that’s why I thought I’d mention the thing. Sorry for not being clear, English is not my native language.
Works fine for me. Literally never had a issue.
I’m not logged into youtube with any device because google demands to know my phone number in order to “verify” its me, logging into my youtube account. So as a solution I just don’t log in anymore. I still watch stuff though.
I love ICE’s.
But I understand they have to go :(
The latest Garbage Time was excellent lunchtime viewing!
