I had mandatory Swedish at school for over 6 years and I can’t even count to ten in that language. Time well spent.

I can strongly relate with this though I must add that there’s no way of knowing what the alternative would’ve been. Whose to say my interests wouldn’t have naturally evolved over time on their own without any major outside influence. It just would be quite surprising if excessive porn use since early age wouldn’t play a factor in why my sexuality is so twisted nowdays in more ways than one.

Interesting how what’s clearly a joke sets off your sexism alarm, but the blatant sexism in the original post doesn’t.

Every post I make in this community gets a comment like this. Apparently, my life is too boring to interest anyone - yet somehow also too interesting for the Dull Men’s Club. It’s like I’m living in a liminal space.

Are you serious?

Careful what you ask for.

I’ve gotten this only a handful of times and simply refreshing my VPN has solved it every time.

It’s the current trendy thing to say. Kind of like the term “executive dysfunction”

That’s what was originally holding the ends together but the other side failed.

A hose clamp would’ve been more my alley.

Yeah if you go there to run on a threadmill, not if you go there to lift weights. After a heavy squat day I can barely walk down the stairs to the parking lot.

Why ride when you can drive?

If it’s notifications you’re after you can try saying positive things about capitalism or Elon Musk for example or simply go into a thread where everyone is outraged about anything and try making some sense in there.

Thanks for the tip. Funnily enough, all these series are the same one that ChatGPT recommended, including the Hell On Wheels from the original comment.

The use of it in the US was banned only last year and I’m not aware of there having been such movement.

The use of asbestos in the US was only banned in 2024.

I’m a guy who occasionally wears thongs (ones for guys)

There are certain games - like the Grand Theft Auto series - that could easily charge 300 bucks and still offer insane value to the player. Given how many hours a typical person puts into a game like that, the cost per hour ends up being practically nothing. I think game pricing only becomes an issue for people who can’t stay entertained by a single title for more than a few dozen hours before needing to move on to something else.

I don’t get why these don’t just get treated for what they are: motorbikes

I’ve always considered Amazon a store that mostly Americans use. Personally I’ve always just used eBay and Aliexpress myself.
