Dunno, but OP posted only newsrepublic.co.uk articles until 7 months ago, then 1 week ago started to post only dailyadda articles.

Don’t know about you, but I’m gonna block this one lol

I can recommend it :P

Just skip Helsinki, 'tis a pointless place to spend any more time than necessary.

A Swede is visiting his Finnish cousin. They are sitting in a boat, drinking beers and fishing. After the 8th beer, the Swede asks “so, hows the family?” And the Finn replies “did we come here to drink or to talk?”

Indeed I do :)

I know I’m lucky that I live in a country that has 17 people living in it, I don’t remember the last time I was in the checkout line for more than 5 minutes. Also, we have shops that are open until late at night and most of the hyper-markets are 24h. So I just go shopping at around 23:00 or later, when there is 2 people in the shop.

I’m a introvert and hate dealing with people, but for some reason I don’t like using the self-checkout. I don’t know why. But anyway, I recommend moving to Finland. My interactions are as follows:

A very quick eye contact with a nod as a hello.

I pay, receive the change, say thank you.

I go away.

There is no small talk or push for registering for their bonus card systems, etc, here. You go in, do your thing, say thank you, go away. And saying anything is optional. I do it because I feel like that’s the least I can do for the poor person who has to deal with humans all day. But often I see people not even look at the checkout person, just stare at the register until it gives out a number, pay and bugger off.

Yeah I get that. I have quite dead pan delivery and “blunt” humor IRL, that doesn’t translate very well over text, I really should be more mindful about that. Wouldn’t be the first, second or a hundredth time that someone mistook my stupid joke comments as a “fuck you”.

Just yesterday a guy on IRC, who I’ve talked to for months said “I never know if you are joking or pissed off” lol.

Oh I meant my comment as a humorous way, not in a “this guy sucks!” way lol

The worst part about this comment is that it says “edited” in the top. So this guy wrote the comment, posted it, read it back, realized that he needs to fix it, edited it, presumably looked it again and decided “yup, that’s what I want to say” and sent it.

Back in the early 2000s someone said “a experienced Windows user doesn’t notice a little bit of lagging”

Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining

Can you expand a bit? What do you mean “feudal nature” and “liberal democracy”? Do you mean society as a whole or Lemmy in general?

Why do you wish Lemmy to not be searchable at all?

Does reddit know this? Someone should let them know

What benefits could you reap from having your fridge connected to the internet? I’m seriously asking because the thought never occurred to me, but then again, I live in a tiny apartment, I can walk like 8 steps and I’m opening the fridge door. Maybe other people have bigger houses and takes half a day to get to the thing.

Kind of impressive in this day and age to make me think “this is the stupidest thing I have heard in a long while”

Based on the rumors about putin and his paranoia, I’d assume that computer is not connected to the internet lol
