I’m not allowed because I’m an immigrant, and I’ve only found out recently that I can vote while living abroad in national elections in the fatherland.

I get the feeling they’re tied to public transport times, but then the first bus or train of the day usually comes at the same time. I used to work on the railway and sometimes I’d have to start work at like 05:17 or finish at 00:06 or whatever.

If they’re food places, that’s either because the food takes longer than ten minutes, or because it’d been slow and they’d started packing up, or they were lying because they wanted to go home on time. Almost nothing more annoying than someone coming right at the end of your shift to order food.

Isn’t it full of brimstone? So it tastes eggy?

Tangential, but quicksand is called so because it moves, much like quicksilver.

But you must rest your head somehow if you lie on your side? Or are your shoulders 1cm broad?

I am NOT asking how do I use a privacy-focused front-end for YouTube, by the way, I am aware they exist.

It’s quite telling that you’re ready to say “control” to describe people arguing that you shouldn’t use animals as resources, but not to describe what happens to animals. Or if you would use it to describe what happens to animals, that you think nothing untoward of it. You know what I mean? Either controlling is, as you imply, inadmissable and you therefore become vegan because you mustn’t control animals, or controlling is sometimes admissable and you purport carnism.

I think that’d only help improve your confidence, because you could so easily be translating wrong thinking you’ve done it right, then establishing what you’ve wrongly said as a habit.

Well I think even an ideal society would involve responsibilities that require people to be at a certain place at a certain time!

I hope you realise how much of a luxury it is to take a day’s leave à la minute.

Depends how important the job is to you, eh.

There’s a variant of mint known as pineapple mint. See if you can get your hands on a bit.

If the actual problem is that you yourself are too hot, cool yourself instead. A trick I’ve picked up working in kitchens, where it’s very fucking hot indeed, is to wet your nape and forearms regularly. You can wear a wet hat too. Doesn’t really take advantage of the unlimited water but it gets you there.

I’ve tried it, and it’s quite good and heavily customisable, but a pain in the arse if you want to use more than one language. I think their Dutch version doesn’t even work if I recall correctly.

I don’t know if I’m being naïve but I find 24,000 to 16,000 a bit closer than expected!

This reminds me of the time I asked someone on Twitter if they knew the name of the book they were referencing and they replied “it’s not my job to educate you,” then told me anyway.

Ah, but this was posted on the 7th of April?

Even after covid?

English is prestige! I don’t think that’s a controversial statement at all!
