I really made a fool of myself, haven’t I?

Well, for what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?

I don’t think the ancient Greeks used Roman numerals. Though to be fair, I-III should be easy to understand anyway.

You can turn this around as well. Their mom asking them to stop having contact with their father is her choosing to take away their father from them. If that’s what she wants to do…

Children should not be pulled into the relationship problems of their parents. The parents are the ones who chose to have a child together, they are the ones who have to deal with the consequences of that.

I’m in no way qualified to judge whether this classifies as being an alcoholic. But I think you certainly have an unhealthy relationship to alcohol or at least beer. It’s not really “normal” (sorry, I don’t know how to phrase it better) to think so much about a beverage.

The same goes for food, actually. And at least there it doesn’t automatically equal excessive consumption, sometimes it’s the opposite, either anorexia or even focusing on a healthy diet. The point is that the healthy default state is to not obsess about it too much.

Out of curiosity, have you tried alcohol-free beer? There are really good ones out there and maybe trying some could help you determine whether it’s actually the alcohol or more the “beer equals good time” aspect that drives you.

If you want to start a new line, you can either type three spaces at the end of the line or a backslash. I think it should work on all clients, but I’m not sure.

I don’t even wish my mother a happy mother’s day, because whenever mother’s day is brought up she rants about how it was made big by florists and the Nazis (this is actually true for Germany). She is a great mother though and she knows I think so.

I’d also like to point out that with an app, you don’t just hire a programmer, they make an app and done. You have to maintain it. (Although many companies with “smart” products with apps skip this part, so I’m sure it’s fine /s)

Serious question: Do people share their lemmy account with others irl?
Not even my closest friends and family know my username let alone random strangers. And I intend to keep it that way.

Everyone is saying undersalt things, but I’m assuming, that you don’t even have a clue whether a teaspoon of salt would be undersalting or oversalting. You should get someone to show you what a “normal” amount of salt is per person. It won’t be perfect but at least edible.

It’s missing the “No, but I get paid for this, so I should probably work on it anyway” option

In German, Teams used to show people as “kostenlos” which does mean “free” but in the sense of “free of charge”, not “available”. They fixed it eventually but it caused much confusion with people asking if there are times when the calls are not free of charge.

My personal Teams translation highlight was a hint explaining to me how I could reorder a list. It said “Nachbestellung hier”. Which again does mean “reorder here” but reorder as in the thing you do when you buy the same thing again, a repeat order.

And apparently the shortcut key r doesn’t stand for rechts (right) but for insert. Which is not only English but also the one thing all of those for options have in common.

Migraines. At least it’s a good way to get away from the stressful situation, because I don’t have a choice unless I want to throw up and I will look so bad that people immediately believe me. So… thanks, migraines?

For what it’s worth, while there certainly are public bathrooms with stalls from floor to ceiling, the most common design does have gaps between the floor and the stall (at least here in Germany). Just not as big as the gaps in the US. You’d have to get uncomfortably close to the floor of a public bathroom to see anything. And no gaps between the door and the walls.

I also have very good color vision.

For me it heavily depends on the context. For example I have spent some time working out a color palette for my wardrobe, so now the colors I use there are heavily associated for me.

Without any context, it’s similar to your grouping, except for the second group: oranges go nearly all to the reds, yellows go to the greens, browns go to black and greys.

I think it does make a difference. When the parties are voted for before forming the coalition, you know exactly how many people supported them and their policies. Then the coalition is negotiated based on that. If you form the coalition first, then only the majorities inside the coalition matter for who has the most say, you have no way of knowing what’s important to the voters.

Me: hits return.

Word: “Sure, here, a new line. I already indented it for you, same as the one before. Like a good IDE.”

Me: “That’s nice of you, Word, but I want this one to be indented one tab stop less than the line before.” Hits delete.

Word: “Delete, you say? Sure, back to the line before.”

Me: “No, no! Just delete one tab! Maybe, if I select the line and hit dele…”

Word: “Why of course!”

Me: “Shit, it’s gone. Undo! Hmm… Move the thingy here on top?”

Word: “Move all the lines you say? No problem!”

Me: “Nvm, I’ll just indent everything by hand with spaces.”

Are other people allowed to hear our song when we play it? If so, I choose Macarena and then sell my attendance at parties and weddings and so on.

… unless there are not enough teachers, or not enough public pools, or…

The indoor pool I learned swimming closed a decade ago and since then there is no public indoor pool in the city anymore.

I’m a bit sad Rhabarberbarbarabarbarbarenbartbarbierbierbarbärbel doesn’t make an appearance in this.
