Latvia is funny one, like speaking in Latvian with some English sparkles, greeting in Italian and cursing in Russian

Oh, and there’s the infamous “ok labi davai čau” that manages to cram 4 languages into a goodbye when closing a phone call

Yep. Quite often I phase out thinking something, and suddenly wake up to wife asking “what are you smiling?”

Laughing in Finnish

That’s probably a fill for a thermos, but yeah that’s a proper size coffee.

Price of the coffee is the smallest part of that cup of coffee though, probably less than a dollar. The vast majority of it is everything else from facilities to work and leeches cutting their profits

She’s a cartoon, of course they are

Yeah no offense taken. You explained well why there was a problem and it’s always a good thing

First of all, has your own experience with Windows been so traumatic that you actually feel it’s proper to compare it to spousal abuse of all goddamn things?

Secondly, using emotionally manipulative false equivalences like that do nothing to further the argument, it just shuts it down by spreading feelings of guilt in the other partly.

I don’t want to create a fucking account on every single fucking website I enter to read a shit article about some random bullshit

That’s just making the internet even shittier place than it already is. Telling your readers to eat a hatful because scrapers are not respecting robots.txt? Please step on lego

COVID era was great for the memes

Why? It doesn’t make any difference with AC

Shitting while pissing is ok, as long as you’re sitting pissing

Wait what, where did you get that ladies shirt?

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid, was on meds through the school years but dropped it off then. In adult age I’ve kinda regretted it at times, but now I’m too lazy to go talk with doc about it again almost 20 years later.

There must be all kinds of <bodily fluid> angels.

It’s decimal, 12 years and 6 months or 12.5 years

Had same thoughts. I’ve had daughter do this, and also I did the same thing with my sister when we were around 4-5.
