The Menemen!

@yahoo.com is still somewhat popular among us old farts.

No frackle here. Does this mean I have been lied to and I am actually much younger?

Here in Germany we optimized the process and just use these nowadays: https://www.stilum.com/wp-content/uploads/flecto-Karussell-auf-einem-Spielplatz-1030x687.jpg

You send me looking and at least the JW believe in climate change and argue that it was foretold in the Bible.

It is probably true though. Speaking to them every day, means looking at them every day and thus seeing problems immediately. Okay, so not true, but still effective.

8$???

No idea about the UK. But in Germany a comparable hospital stay (single bed room) would be up to a 1000€ per day afaik. If you are publicly insured in Germany, you’d still easily pay 150€ out of your own pocket (otherwise the rooms have 2-4 beds).

But I already learned in this thread that the costs in the US are far worse.

They are expensive in Europe as well, but most European countries socialize these costs.

Nah, that says LOL|C. (C for cunt.)

Seems plausible. Most of my friends got married or “like-married” between arround 28 and 32, then the divorces happened between arround 35 and 38. Those who survived that wave are still married.

Man, that one unlit cigarette annoys me way too much.

In some crowded places they do it, so it doesn’t feel like a central station.

No, I meant that I literally could see people taking a shit when walking in the restrooms at several places, because the walls were just ~180cm high (and I am taller than 180cm).

I hated them, they made me anxious. But much worse were the low stall walls. Why america, why? When I take a shit I want a wall that actually serves the purpose of not having people see me taking a shit.

On another note, the Dutch style toilets were very common in Germany up until the 90s. Rare nowadays. I think they are actually superior. You see it, if you have a problem with your shit and even the largest shit doesn’t splash water all over your intimate parts. On the other hand, you have to protect your balls from the large shit, when it goes “timber”.

Don’t know about the police. I was comparing inside turkey, where there is the Police for urban areas and the Jandarma (Gendarmerie) for rural areas.

It is not really “higher” than police and it is not regular military. The gendarmerie in Turkey is responsible for policing outside cities, they are part of the military, but they are subordinate to the interior ministry during peace times (regular military answers to the defence ministry).

Fly with turkish airlines. Business is heaven, but even economy food is good.

It is kinda crazy. Been using Linux since 2005 or 2006 on my desktop/notebook. I cannot believe we are almost mainstream now.

It is not a steam user percentage, but according to the site by user data from web pages, it explicitly mentions search engines and social media. I doubt that the steam deck is extremely significant here.

Many also have quite a lot of social areas, shopping places and good public transportation. If they are well maintained, they are far superior to the space wasting, infraatructure hungry, climate destroying sprawling suburbs of several western countries.
