I should downvote you!!!!! For me need and requirement are 2 different things, it's because in my native language it is that way. I feel offended now, I am judged in my own thread, I feel I'm hated, you hate me because I'm East European, shame on you!!!!

Consider yourself downvoted 100 times !!!!

Does this mean I can't do secret santa now? =(

 :p :p

Yesssss!!!! No Secret Santa for you, permanent ban, negative karma!!!! :eek:

It feels bitter-sweet to say your reddit/downvote struggles made me laugh   :)

Also funny that the mods wouldn't waive the requirement in your case. I would post it again - they miss that rule half the time anyway, last time I checked :P

Still Day 7: woke up this morning only to see Trump won ... ok.... and I was shocked about all that downvoting on reddit ....

If any of the US guys needs immigration help to Romania PM me, we welcome anyone, we speak English have good food etc etc .... and with 70.000$ you can buy an apartment in a big city... The IT industry is strong over here so plenty of jobs.  :thumb:

I'll be honest, there's no struggle, I was just pissing on roses  :p I'm European, lived under a totalitarian regime big part of my life, I'm not the type to swallow some rules and say "Thank You Boss" if something doesn't feel right.

Depends on what you do, a decent paid IT job is around 25.000-30.000 a year. Some jobs are even better paid and most other jobs are worst. But if you draw the line, with a decent education you can make a living here.
I like it here, been abroad and had a job well paid but still I made the decision to go back home, what I make here is enough to make me happy: I pay the bills, have my own house (100 year old red stone one with a lot of issues, but I love it), I afford to take nice vacations, go eat something good, have 0 bank loans. Well I don't afford a 500$ or even a 200$ Clack, but I'm happy with my life and I wouldn't change it in any way. Getting screwed in a GB upsets me, because that for me is not pocket change....also paying a user for stuff and then goes MIA makes a hole in my hobby budget....

I was not talking about basic things like deodorant, I'm talking about subtle stuff like a nice perfume that makes your head turn around... While living in Germany I was surprised that few women used to wear perfume, when I smelled perfume in 99.999999% of the cases it wasn't a German female .... I know, in the modern world a female should not do things to please the other gender or same gender... but where I come from it's still not like that ...

Wrong, it discriminates against Koreans!
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Mechanical Keyboard is a passing fad'  I think..


It has every hallmark of being one..


Its complexity is predominantly aesthetic..

It has no true advantage performance wise for 99% of users, since 99% of those users are just casual computer users..

The internet is headed towards adding Accountability to what people DO and SAY, 

The only way to enforce this is by removing degrees of anonymity..

The age-old privacy question.

The internet is bringing the privacy/accountability equation to a head.

Isn't it amazing that transparency and freedom are coming down on opposite sides?
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
- Marc Sumner 2025-05-30
