Normal is defined, in this case, as what the majority of people experience. As opposed to what the majority of people think everyone else is experiencing. Meaning it’s normal to be ridculed by your family for trying to be yourself.

I call my son a goof when he does something silly! In the UK, it just means silly. The image in my head is of Goofy, the disney character.

Good to know if i ever go to canada.

Also, weirdo is so innocuous in the UK. It wouldn’t turn a head. But then i suppose we call people a “cunt” or a “dickhead” and it can be as friendly as saying “love you” or “you are hilarious” and as nasty as saying “die in a fire”

So i suppose i shouldn’t be surprised by the nuances found in language even if we are speaking the same language, especially when there’s an ocean of space between us.

Wouldn’t it be wierdos, not wierdoes? My autocorrect seems to think so.

Also in the UK, where I’m from, we have standardised testing, when i was a kid the tests were all made by exam boards like AQA, OCR and EdExcel. I believe they still are.

Despite the flaws that come with that it was better than allowing an individual to come up with the test as it removed personal bias and, obviously, derogatory remarks about students in the class.

I dont think it’s unique to the US, companies in other countries have to play the same game or be lost to obscurity.

Why dont these companies accept theybarent worth as much any more and just provide less services until they balance off.

The stuff they cant afford to provide could be taken on by someone else. Being a one company does all type master of none sort of thing is clearly bad for society and the economy.

I dont really know what im talking about but i just dont get why they see losses and an end to growth but take the position of “we need to find a way to keep this going” instead of “we need to sell off things until our company is making money again, even if its less money”

I dont know if i can keep using google stuff if this is the way they are going.

Why does everything have to be a fucking advert.

Who even likes adverts?

Just fuck off.

I remember living in a world where i was shocked when companies started asking for credit card details when activating a free trial.

I’m signing up for a free trial. I shouldn’t need to even give you my name. Just put a 30-day limit on the key i activate the software with. If i want to buy it, then i can decide that during the trial.

The fact that we are at a point where the anger is directed to the part AFTER i have given all my details and credit card info is so painful to see.

Well baldurs gate 3 was in beta early access for 3 years and it turned out to be an absolute masterpiece.

Your anger is misplaced.

Gamea would be better across the board if the developers and publishers all worked with players and tested the games properly.

Then fred takes the mask of the ecto 1 and says it was old man cribbins the whole time. And the ghosts were just sheets on strings. And the gatekeeper was just elitist goth musicians.

Like hey scoob! It’s the g-g-g-g… ghostbusters!

Wow, it’s literally the shazam logo, flipped horizontally and red.

Wonder who got paid to make that logo?

My wife swears by fridge chocolate for the snap.

Ive told her time and time again, chocolate is better when melty.

Put a piece or two in your mouth and play with it until it gets super melty. Its so tasty.

The best is when its been sat in a warm room for a bit and its still got its shape but when you snap it its like butter.

NOM!

Im not sure i understand what you are saying. Either that or you didn’t get my analogy.

Im saying that it’s easy to be better at being president than trump when trump spent his whole term being such a bad president that he just made everything worse.

Im not saying that i think biden is good for the job. Someone else needs to do it.

True. But it’s kind of like saying my new lawn mower is better at cutting the grass than my grass seeder ever was.

Is that the bar we need to set? Cause i hate that.

Is this different to the custom sticker feature whatsapp has had for years?

Ive made a few stickers before that i can send to others.

Or is this a feature of the samsung gallery that is incorporated into whatsapp?

The boys did this last season. Its complete satire but its like holding a mirror to reality at the moment.

Put a bigger space between steve and and, and and and dave on that sign.

What a load of rubbish.

Same. I think the official pronunciation was just JK trolling.

Do you really want to drink and stop?
