itā€™s the worst, all the worst aspects of other bad holidays mashed into one.

(gotta say it extra small because randomly youā€™ll encounter some rando who gets pissed off even though they seem otherwise normal)

awful holiday indeed. I did find it kinda funny that the British had their election on the 4th of July like they wanted to take attention away from the us

Well itā€™s official! After 5 years of submitting paperwork, getting our photos taken, and testing, my partner and I are Canadian citizens as of today.

The forum keeps giving me the business lately. I search for ā€œTVā€ and it says not enough characters. I write a post about pluto.tv and it tells me I shared this link in 2022 and asks me if I want to share it again. A couple other weird things popped up recently.

Websites insist on auto-translating text into my browserā€™s user agentā€™s language. Please stop. Iā€™m multilingual and I donā€™t want to be patronized in that way. Offer a translate button or a setting or something but for the love of god please let me see stuff in the original language. Most of the time I canā€™t even turn it off. Iā€™ve been looking on and off at very old support threads suggesting that if you just configure just the right settings in your google account youtube wonā€™t auto translate video titles for you but none of it is working I know these languages please stop translating this stuff and now reddit posts get translated on-site and even in the google search results. I donā€™t want any of this please make it stop.

I love that you can scroll up and see all the spaghetti formatting people were experimenting with to get their text as small as possible.

Discourse is a dork. I deleted a post because it was just a fragment sentence and when I was writing a new one it was like ā€œplease donā€™t post too many posts in a row! Consider waitingā€ Crikey!!

my favourite spam email subject line is the one that advertises ā€œsex dating.ā€

this has become the unofficial thread for dunking on Discourseā€™s guiding hand flavour text killing my buzz anytime I want to, like, post something that isnā€™t a paragraph of novel text.

iā€™m like two months behind on school and the semester is about to end. i havenā€™t really gotten used to online university. hoping all my professors are chill with me sending the half assed late assignments iā€™m making in my current school speedrun.

on the other hand iā€™m setting up my storage server. since iā€™m studying library science i think that kind of dedication towards data should be worth extra points imo

Iā€™ve noticed employers are usually interested in the extra points!
