It’s probably due to some cultural differences but the meat on a spin unit is called döner kebab here. Shoarma is little strips of pork with a certain herb on it. It’s more like gyros in a way.

Shoarma is popular in my country on pizzas. I was never a fan but it grew on me.

To me, shared experience is always an easy ice breaker. Stuff like mainstream media is a quick win. And yeah, sometimes if people are a bit more underground or indie as far as their media is concerned grants them an image of having a distinct personality, but that usually only works if they’re socially strong and have other stuff they can connect with other people over.

I’m not saying you should consume anything that gets promoted massively, but keeping an eye on what’s popular and seeing if anything floats your boat might give you an easier time striking up a conversation with someone.

I used to be really dismissive of anything with a huge advertising budget. If something gets promoted everywhere all the time, it’s unlikely I’d give it a chance. Somehow I felt more interesting than others because of this. Turns out you’re not, people lose interest really quickly when they can’t talk to you about anything.

It’s also one of those sentences that changes meaning depending on which word you accentuate.

What did dude think was coming out of the VGA port? Tiny photographs? It’s all electricity through wires, of course it’ll send some electricity into a phone

One that is popular in my country is Michiel de Router which is a play on the VOC man Michiel de Ruyter.

But yeah sometimes there’s an FBI Surveillance Van or a “It’s this one Mom!”

Don’t really get why you got downvoted. Probably someone still using an old 32" HD Ready screen warning 480p content saying it’s fine and they don’t see the difference anyway.

Modern TVs do upscaling, so anything lower res you watch on a 4K or 8K screen will get upscaled a bit. Watching crappy quality stuff on a 4K tv will get blown up enough for you to really see a difference compared to a lower def tv.

That said, it’s really no use looking at just the resolution. Most likely, an 8K TV will have a panel that is just better overall quality (depending on the brand, of course). You’ll have better HDR, most likely it’s gonna be 12 bit colour, the contrast ratio will be excellent, it might even have decent sound. It’s just gonna be an overall high end TV. Apps will run more smoothly because it’s likely they fitted it with a decent processor. The image processing engine is just better because it’ll have to be. Again, unless it’s a cheapo brand that only focused on the 8K of it and left the rest on the table.

It probably won’t really justify paying triple what you’d pay for a decent 4K TV but there’s gotta be early adopters, otherwise we’ll stay on the current gen forever.

If they mount stuff as askew as they did with that plaque I might look a bit further for a contractor

Hey I’m not advocating the usage of it, I’m just answering a question.

I think some of the communities are just good fun, I’m not judging any of the characters who visit the instance. But I agree that some of the communities and some of its patrons have a not so open minded view of the world and prefer to speak in a language of hate rather than a language of love. I stand against that. But I do stand against broad censorship in the grand scheme of things. I prefer a world when people can say anything they like as long as they take the time to look at issues from several angles that do not correspond with their own. Right wing, left wing, it doesn’t really matter as long as we all take the time to really appreciate where someone else is coming from.

As long as their opinion is sufficiently substantiated.

And I do concur with you that hate speech towards any groups of people in general is not a part of that discord.

It’s on free instance Hilarious Chaos. I think it’s called Shitty ask lemmy

I used to work for a publisher in the Netherlands called Coutinho, they specialize in second language acquisition and have some excellent materials on Dutch. Probably not for free, though.

That’s Christian Bale

I’ve got a P400 desktop and it handles everything it should. The matrix of another commenter is an important document to keep handy.

Yeah the quality isn’t ace

I’ve always maintained it’s for non-nerds go want to laugh at cultures they’ll never understand. For convenience, all known nerd stuff is crammed into all characters.

I think humanity is a species of excess. The harm we cause our planet every day by not seeing the bigger picture is hurting pretty much everything on the planet.

I’m not an antinatalist, but I think we could stand to decrease our numbers rather than increase them at least for a couple of centuries.

What’s your mother’s maiden name? What’s the street you grew up on? First pet?

Yes but similarly I can only fix something after I fully understand how it works.
