Just search “define [word]” on duckduckgo. Works for like 95% of things I’m looking for.

I completely missed that. Oh well.

IMO, lying is a terrible way to start any relationship. At best it means you wind up with a job you’re unqualified for. At worst the whole thing blows up in your face. Maybe even the remote possibility of fraud charges.

Don’t think there’s anything wrong with embellishing or talking yourself up, but outright lies seldom work out well. At least in my experience in my industry.

Is bustang a synonym of bussy?

It’s $10 to not have to go somewhere. Cost of the candy bar is kind of irrelevant.

While arriving for the competition, all 8 billion got wedged into the doors of the arena Three Stooges style and were unable to compete.

Why do British headlines never make sense? Is it just cultural context I’m missing, or do they just really like fucking around with words to the point of obfuscation?

I get what you’re saying, but as you kind of mentioned, it’s a falsehood to believe any of your posts and comments here are under your control anyway. They get federated to other instances, maybe mirrored or crawled by bots. And these may or may not abide by your deletion of the content.

Might be best to just expose/enforce this reality to users. You send data publicly onto the Internet, it’s forever out of your control. And there’s no system in existence that can change that reality.

Also why it’s important that a doxxed Internet never becomes reality.

Kind of wish deleting posts wasn’t a thing. Would rather just the user-association was removed or something. Just because OP doesn’t want to be involved in the thread anymore, doesn’t mean everyone else feels the same.

They probably would if I asked. I wouldn’t ask.

No shot I’m repeating that here.

Have your friends take “candid” photos of you doing stuff. They’re not actually candid, they’re fully thought out and planned.

In all seriousness, I don’t think I could ever do that.

Probably more accurate to say “in wine, no filter.” People are more likely to say what’s on their mind. But what’s on their mind could be complete nonsense.

I’ve said a lot of dumb shit drunk.

Should link directly to the post, not the feed.

Definitely both. The whole idea of law is basically just a collective myth. If that myth breaks down, law breaks down, societies break down.

Any of those door to door window sales companies. Really anyone that comes to my door unsolicited.

They’re never going to be worth the interaction.

Would be hard to resist drawing the symbol on the flyer.

Also one of the easiest EU countries for Americans to immigrate to.

What makes it easy?

To me The Netherlands is just weed, bikes, trains, and canals. Sounds great.

I’m also fairly sure it’s not going to be as great as it sounds. And the language will probably be annoying and not very useful elsewhere.
