I wonder how well-received this comment would be if it mentioned crime statistics regarding something else than gender.
I think the screenshots are fake because I’ve been using the internet for very long and I know how publicity campaigns work.

For starters, men with hundreds of thousands of followers have no reason to post a screenshot that shows that women have used an app to report them as creeps. That the kind of thing that belongs in a police report, not in a public social network where you’re trying to build your brand.

I’ve seen multiple posts online posted by guys showing screenshots. The screenshots would show texts sent to those guys by girls saying that they’ve seen the guys on Tea and that they won’t have any more dates because of what they’ve seen. It all stinks to high heaven.
The best, most successful political ads in social networks are not paid.
The best instant payment system is cash. It allows the merchant to skip the taxes too. Unbeatable.
It's very easy to ask everyone else to support your financial decisions.

No, it's not okay. I used google to look for a brownie recipe; I want a brownie recipe and nothing else.
Those who need fine motor skills can still learn them.
That’s what happens when the elites create a mass trauma event for us proles - and this is just the first one.
This comparison is quite absurd.

Yep, doesn't work at all. This post is two years old and the methods they use have been updated.

If you click the website you will see that there is a link to a pdf that explains what this means.

I think it’s a cool and potentially useful feature as long as it stays local.

You can check the UNESCO website and see for yourself. They have a section with recent news of stuff they’ve been doing and promoting.

Same as wow. It makes more sense like this. Maybe the issue is that some interpret what look like decimal numbers but are not decimal numbers as decimal numbers.
Or they are just lazy. Recently I had to implement text search and making it load the results instantaneously on every keystroke is easier than implementing a delay. I was hoping the client wouldn’t complain, and thus far he has not.
Friendly reminder that

You shouldn’t use f-strings with logging.
This is the European Commission, which you don’t get to vote for. You don’t really have a choice.
Just to be clear those things you buy on Temu must have by law a representative in the EU which would be the entity responsible if you are poisoned by whatever you buy.

Also: fuck local merchants. They have scammed us for a lifetime. They can all close for all I care.

Who voted for this guy again?

I googled the author's name and from a cursory look at his linkedin he was a toddler in 2003. It’s therefore reasonable to conclude that he has no idea how a phone from 2003 worked. I mean, he could’ve used one for a bit, but definitely not as a daily driver.

I bought some dark blue trousers at C&A and after a dozen washes they are noticeably losing their colouring.

Yes, I know, Cheap&Awful. I’m poor.

Maybe you shouldn’t elect politicians who increase your public debt perennially by printing money like there’s no tomorrow. Perhaps that way the money you earn would be worth something and you would be able to afford quality products. It’s hard, I know.

I have a solid wood table that I bought at Ikea a few years ago. I think it’s made of bamboo. Isn’t that hardwood? Even if it’s compressed I don’t think it’s made of grain. It definitely doesn’t have stickers.
You didn’t even tap the link huh

Bad cuts, like pork loins that are not fatty.
Democracy is good until the public votes for something unpalatable. In that case they were lied to and/or they are unfit to choose for themselves.
The system has existed on the taxpayer. Now the taxpayer has voted to get rid of it.
