To be fair, absolutely noone knew what type of Brexit was being voted on. That minor detail was left out of any of the conversation.

Presumably the argument is “if I’m not going to understand what anyone is saying, can I at least be somewhere with less rain please?”

It was much better when everyone bought the same photo of the Eiffel tower from IKEA for the last 30 years. Artists were super in demand and lived lavish lifestyles before AI. There’s centuries of literature which talks about how amazing the life of artists was, but now those damned computers and their capitalist owners have doomed artistic wealth and spirit forever.

How often will you ever fight a dragon? Once, maybe?

Fuck folding sheets because someone else wants it done, 3 times a week for the next 40 years.

Not even close to being the same.

Not if you lived with my uni housemate. He was obsessed. I’m 100% done with it.

Back in the old days there was no rollback option either. Kids have it too easy now.

I’ve always thought each town needs perhaps a few dozen lawnmowers. I bet someone would forget to return it though.

You can accelerate it into space at g forces which would liquify living beings, perhaps?

Not sure how many people in this dimension have read one.

Rule 34 and 35 dictate that you’re now responsible for making sure it exists.

Did I miss a news notification?

I agree, all the other examples here are not on a single line. Some of the letters are on top of other letters, definitely not linear.

We do this with our dog if she get ill. We know she’s not drinking enough water so we but bits of cooked chicken in the bottom of her water bowl. She ends up drinking water accidentally while trying to eat the chicken.

I see your point, but it would have to be something massive and sustained long term. 9-11 was on home turf, and it didn’t exactly persuade Americans to chill out and do much internal reflection. Quite the opposite.

The British empire probably experienced the same sort of thing, everything happened somewhere else. When it turned up in France and the beaches of Normandy, shit gets a bit more real.

For an English speaker with no french knowledge, it’s not gonna make much difference.

Seems like you’re both describing lived experiences. France is a big place. Some of it is pretty easy to get by with apologetic English, some bits they really don’t speak the language and you’re gonna have to find an app or something.

No. Which means it’s only for a few minutes, some mornings. Until I wake up.

Isn’t that the point of the original post though? Why is titillation needed during dinner?
