How did I miss that. It’s actually closer.

Get her to wear a white dress too.

Simply tell your colleagues you can’t attend the wedding. End of sentence. You don’t have to tell them why.

I verbally beat this phrase into my kids: “No” is a complete sentence.

Fuck giving people details unnecessarily IMO. Those close to you will already know why. Those not close don’t deserve to.

Very true. It is a smelly number of posts from that one outlet though.

I’m a benefit of the doubt person so that’s why I was trying to figure it out as it is odd behaviour but not into bot territory for me. I won’t be blocking them like the person at the top of this comment chain as a result.

Shit I dunno. It was a guess. The external internet is really locked down there. I’ve been.

They did post one comment in Chinese.

Edit: I checked and that site is blocked there so it’s smelly.

I think they’re in China so may have limited access to news sites in the west (and / or limited English with which to engage). There are some comments so don’t think it’s a bot but I take your point.

First time I experienced this was in the US. I went to San Diego on a student summer visa and you were fucked without a car. Large metropolis. It took me a while to actually cop it.

Luckily for us we made friends with some lovely rednecks from Alabama and they drove us around a good bit but that gift from them really impacted our whole summer.

The energy usage is off the charts. I’ve spent time in data centres (a long time ago) and none of them at the time had massive water usage so I believe it’s only a very wasteful subset that are being dicks.

On the flip side, data centres are taking up a fifth of all electricity usage in the whole country where I live and fucking our carbon targets so people are pissed about it.

Thanks for taking the time. I must have read that five times before but it’s such a great story I’ll always take the time.

Gabriel’s Oboe from The Mission.

The movie was incredible but I feel like that tune has really stood the test of time.

We’ve something similar in Ireland:

“I could complain but who’d listen?”

Damn that referral one is scummy!!!

That one’s to catch out foreigners. I’m convinced.

Source: foreigner that will never be caught out but might very well have if he didn’t know a South Dakotan.

Do they actually serve those anywhere?

It’s something that Marie Antoinette was accused of saying when French peasants were starving just before the French Revolution. Consensus is that she never actually did but it’s a good little anecdote for rich people being blissfully unaware of real life.

He is sorry. Sorry he got caught.
