Consumables are always the best gifts. I don’t even bother with anything else anymore, unless it’s something that I made myself because then it has sentimental value.

The target being the executives who will approve the marketer’s work.

Can you cite a case where an American company with no holdings or dealings in the EU was fined successfully?

If the company has no infrastructure within the jurisdiction of the gdpr, how can they hope to enforce it?

And what jurisdiction does the gdpr have over servers hosted in America?

We’re all still waiting for the court case that sets this precedent.

There’s no up arrow?

they develop community-based committees which have no actual power in themselves but are used to develop concensus on issues that affect the whole community. So rather than abolishing all rules they’re all about human collaboration and concensus.

So it’s a democracy.

Was your house renovated? Could be old ducting that they just reused instead of removing.

Extra shoelaces? I don’t remember ever needing extra shoelaces ever in my life.

I swear some people legitimately could do that. Some people really are high on life. But most of us aren’t.

The happiness from within thing is just a cheesy way of saying you have to make yourself happy. If the phrase isn’t useful to you, you don’t have to use it. It would be a lot more realistic to say “Happiness comes from putting in the effort and work to make yourself happy, primarily through delayed gratification.”

I thought about this stuff a lot for years. The thing that broke me out of it was choosing to focus on myself.

No one else can make you happy. Happiness comes from within. So focus on yourself. Develop new skills and hobbies, spend your time doing what you enjoy. If you find other people who enjoy the same things, that’s great, if not, also great because there’s nothing wrong with enjoying life on your own.

I sure hope friends are better than just tolerable.

Let’s go with enjoyable. Tolerable is like the bare minimum for how to behave around other people. Friends are more than the bare minimum.

A friend is someone who reciprocates enjoyable presence.

TL;DR OP becomes religious in his search for video game Easter eggs.

That’s called murder-suicide.

So long as people use high bitrates, I’m fine with that.

Bzzzz! BzzzzZZZZZzzzz!

That’s my favourite line in the whole movie.

Can’t wait for the apocalypse when all these idiots make swords to fight with and I’m going to have a long ass spear.

Everybody finds those memes relatable. Most of those memes are just regular human things.

It’s one of those things that sounds really cool when you describe it because you use lots of big techy words, but ultimately it’s just some weird noises.

You should introduce it just as abstract sound art, or something, and then people will have a realistic expectation and you can elaborate on techniques if they show further interest.

As someone who casually likes classical music, I can’t stand talking to people who like classical music. They’re all elitist twits. It’s like how metalheads get all aloof because they understand “real” music, except with classical there’s actually a legitimate culture of elitism that has existed for centuries, and they think that a history of elitism somehow justifies the attitude.
