For me, that’s usually because I want to go somewhere where I feel at home. Home is a place where you live, but it’s also a feeling, I think. If you live in a toxic environment and hate every minute there, it may be your home (place where you live), but it’s not where you feel at home. Home is also a place where you feel safe and where you can be yourself. And sometimes, it goes beyond that, too. Maybe life is stressful or you suffer from depression and you’re looking for an escape because even home doesn’t feel like it’s home any more. There’s so much more to “home” than having a flat or a house to live in.

I’m trying to find a part-time job for that exact reason, but it’s really tough to find one. I mean, it’s tough to find a job in general at the moment, but the part-time requirement makes it even tougher. And like the other person said, it’s always a compromise between time and money, and not everybody can make such a compromise because they genuinely need a full-time salary.

That’s why Metallica put it in their song “Enter Sandman”, which Motörhead later covered (I’m only saying that because I like the Motorhead version better)

Isn’t that a thing in English, too?

Now I lay me down to sleep and pray the Lord my soul to keep,
And if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Still pretty messed up.

My father always uses paper towels to blow his nose and I don’t get how he does it. They’re so hard and rough on the skin!

That’s weak. I always pull on the power cord until the plug comes out. That shuts it down in a second flat.

“Steal office supplies until he snaps, then burn it all down” is a perfect way to describe my employment history.

There is a community for that kind of stuff if you’re into it - !hardwaregore@lemmy.world. It’s kinda inactive and only has a new post once every other month, but there’s a photo of basically the same thing done to an HDMI cable seven posts down.

That’s true, and especially smaller businesses often can’t afford translation services. If a machine translation can increase their sales, I won’t blame them for using it. I’m just a language nerd who knows nothing about running a business (and I’m not even an actual translator, I just happened to speak the right language at the right time).

Maybe I’m not super up to date on AI stuff, but I worked as a translator for a year, and AI (they used ChatGPT and DeepL) still made a bunch of mistakes that you’ll immediately notice when you speak the language. It feels like their training input had a bunch of older, Google-translated articles in them that were just bad. Maybe an AI trained specifically for translation with curated learning material and a “teacher” who corrects mistakes can get closer to replacing human translators, but it’d still miss the cultural context of certain words and phrases that are in a translator’s passive vocabulary, at least in less widely spread languages.

That being said, it’s definitely harder to make a career out of translating because companies who don’t know any better just use AI instead. As long as they get their point across (and make money), they don’t care about the finer details.

So, instead of just playing video games by myself, I should do a livestream?

He ate a lot of his poop, yes, but not all of it and always straight from his butt. I think they do that because it contains nutrients they need but don’t get (or don’t get enough of) through their normal diet. He had a litter box in one corner of the room that he peed and pooped in, and he never touched that when he was done.

Our bunny looked at me like that every time I collected his poop to use it as fertiliser for my plants, but he got used to it after a while. I think he was still silently judging me.

That’s what’s so wild about hiking (and life). You look up and see how far you still need to go, but then you turn around to look back, see how far you’ve already come, and realise that you’re already halfway there.

I do that, too! It’s a convenient way to keep the cookies you want (like the ones that keep you logged in) and discard the cookies from random shops and news websites that you don’t want to keep. And my Youtube frontpage is empty, which saves me a ton of time I would otherwise waste on random videos their algorithm shows me.

Looks like there’s a cookie banner in there. The “Options” button is probably hard to find because it’s only a slightly different shade of the background colour, and you’ll have to manually uncheck twenty “legitimate interest” boxes hidden in a submenu. Pretty scary, indeed!

“Wow, you really know how to sharpen a knife. That thing could easily cut me in half. Good job!”

The song they chant to transfer their soul into the object is actually pretty dope! I am a dwarf and I’m digging a hole, diggy, diggy hole. I’ll give it a shot when I’m dying, but I’ll make sure there aren’t any MLP toys around.

edit: turns out the song is actually based on a Minecraft clip! I guess this comic references the original clip, not the song, but it’s a good song nonetheless.

That’s my biggest problem with self-checkouts. There’s always a weird payment service provider behind them who wants to share whatever they can with their 3621 partners. I guess the same is true when you use anything but cash, including card payments at regular tills, but at least they give you the option to pay with cash. Self-checkouts usually don’t (but a few do!).
