Yeah. That’s me. Or anyone I know, really. Sure cities are back to pre-pandemic chaos, but those are other people.

I choose to work from the office on most days. I use public transit. I go to the gym. I’m not locked in, but …

• after-work drinks
• meetups
• catch up with a friend at the pub
• date night
• clubs
• partys

That’s a distant past. And i don’t miss it, really.

Ok, I do miss socializing, the good parts: Crack some jokes, have some small-talk, feel part oof a group of friends.

But i don’t miss it enough to endure that bad parts: Forcing oneselves into conversations with strangers, “networking”, drinking a beer alone in a corner of some event, going out to bar where over your overpriced drink you’ll accept that you’d rather be in your living room. Bars and night clubs are a weird concept (unless you are in your twenties and really enjoy the scene): You realistically only talk the person you came with, but they can’t hear what your are saying since it’s loud and crowded. There may be music, but unless you came to dance, you probably have a Spotify play list you’ll enjoy more. In better quality.

there’s a chance they’d survive.

They’ll probably shoot themselves in the back five times while falling from the ground floor window.

And shit-ass is what you have to deal with when babies become teenagers?

And poop butt is good? This poop-butt device mows the lawn in seconds. ???

Like Netanyahu’s politics?

Nazis

Anschluss?

Dell, the company known for their onsite sales.

Sure, if they had a website or something, they could work remotely, but someone needs to be present when customers flock in.

Will do next time.

Added the main link. May be paywalled for most people.

Yes, but they are all up-side down.

Yes, price is the point. Of course, a Mercedes is going to nicer than a Toyota, but is it worth its price tag?

Standard SMS/MMS are the de facto standard in the US

SMS have been used extensively around the world. That’s texting in it’s original form. And we still use SMS to bootstrap WhatsApp or Signal.

But MMS? Phones and carriers have supported this long before smartphones, but did people really use it? Are MMS free in the US? Because in Europe, before WhatsApp and Signal took over, the was a price tag on SMS (last non-zero price I remember is 0.09€, now free) and MMS (no idea because no one uses it, but I believe 0.39€ was typical at some point).

Tell them about the app store

There’s an app for that

I understand all this, but how ste the videos actually sent if it’s neither RCS nor a link (which could have any resolution).

MMS? Like caveman?

In this case, Apple and the wife are both to blame. This is

• ancient technology
• that was never really used anywhere

Come on.

I miss the times when bodies found off the Sicilian coast meant Mafia.

The decomposed bodies were discovered near the island of Sicily, which lies off the southwestern tip of the Italian mainland.

The bodies were taken to another Italian island, Lampedusa, about 350 kilometers (217 miles) away.

The bodies are believed to have been on board a boat that sunk earlier this week in Libyan waters, Italian media said, citing officials.

So, even if they are dead we push them back to Lampedusa. And claim that they sunk in Syrian waters. Because nothing bad can happen in Europe.

I don’t think the German car industry has ever competed solely on price. Outside Germany and some European countries, German brands are luxury items. In Germany, they oscillate between bread-and-butter and above-average.

The problem is value-for-money and market fit. German car makers (used to) have the best margins in the most expensive products, luxury items sold outside of Germany. Those cars aren’t built to last (like a Japanese car) nor are they fancy (like the first Tesla model).

German ICE cars are (and have always been) less reliable than Japenese cars. And more expensive. And come with very basic interior design / electronics unless you go for the luxury option.

AND NO EVs.

Who buys German cars? Show me one person who wants a VW.

Sure?
