As a “young” adult it absolutely baffles me people use notifications. I already check my phone enough without them, and if I did have notifications on I’d literally get a ding every 20 mins. If I’m expecting a call sure I’ll turn them on, but apart from that it’s an alien concept to me.

Depends how hard you’re willing to try. (/s, for legal reasons)

My rule with langauge:

If you understand what they’re trying to say, then they did a good enough job expressing themselves.

(Also I love how this post is getting loads of upvotes because people are just seeing Bernie’s message and liking it lol).

Since your Australia section is lacking, here’s a couple:

transport > transit

ute > pickup truck

bogan > redneck

metro > subway

cyclone > hurricane

Fireworks should be something only done in public spaces for public festivals and stuff. Or perhaps on privatly owned rural isolated land.

It’s ridiculous people can just do noise pollution in the middle of cities. My mother has a neurological disease that can be worsened by acute noise. It always takes her weeks to recover after fireworks, even with earplugs and noise cancelling headphones.

Yeah. Really questioning how they got labelled as one of the happiest bands here. But tbh you could never expect one person to make something like this accurately.

If you have the money to leave. Buy a couple people on the street loaves of bread or a sleeping bag or something.

Am I the only one who’se only ever used wooden pencils in my life? In my part of the word basically no one used those plastic ones.

Ja.

At school all the cool kids had these lol

or these

[I come from a very specific generation in French speaking switzerland, so this may not be relatable]

I used to live quite near to one of the bic factories in France. Ahhhh I’m obsessed with Bic pens.

Not everyone is using the cafe? People are allowed not to eat in a private restaurant. The availability of a bin shouldn’t be dependent on spending money.

So your entire argument is public bins are useless?

You understand that people should clean up after themselves whether or not there is a bin, but offering a bin is a useful service that greatly helps people out can be compatible right.

I dunno about you, but if I see a bin in a public area, I assume some is paid to empty it. I don’t empty it myself.

Yep. Very few people would waste all their money and tear up their vagina and lose all their sleep for three years, and free time for atleast a decade, on purpose. We have an evolutionary drive to.

Well quatre-vignt-dix is literally translated to “four twenty ten” (why not just nine ten? because historically french evolved with a base 20 counting system).

But when a french person hears that, they don’t hear those numbers, to them it just means ninety.

Just like an english person won’t hear. “four-ty”, and think “four-ten” “oh that’s 40”. Because “fourty” was originally “four-ten” (written differently because old english so I rewrote in modern for simplicity) and got shortened down.

To them “fourty” is just a word that means 40. Just like to metropolitan french people “ quatre-vignt-dix” is just a word that means 90.

… and that your children survive to reproduce

Otherwise we’d have no incentive to care for our kids.

Yup. This is 100% the case. Either it’s a stolen image simply used for scamming, either it’s a harrasment technique.

This is one of the best uses for LLM’s imo. They do all my regex for me.
