My favourite was the one Finnair used to do in the spooky season. Flight 666, straight to HEL.

In Finland we have this one liquorice candy that looks like chalk. The school children yearn for the chalk. It’s normal.

I’ve only received the spam once. I guess I do not qualify as an active Fediverse user. 😒

Oh yeah, one of the pics that inspired me to study French. I was dreading the numerals but it’s not that bad. You count tens and twenties and sometimes they’re special. And numbers below 20 have specific names, but that’s kinda true in most languages.

A lot of languages have weird corner cases. (Like, in Finnish most numbers are perfectly regular. Except 11-19 which are not “one-ten-and-x” but rather “x-of-the-second”. I’m sure there’s a reasonable etymological reason. At least they’re not “teens”.)

Botted comments and admins not in the helm.

I’ll admit, the thing that made me go from Kbin to Lemmy was seeing tons of spam on unmoderated places. (Not blaming the admin for not being able to manage the site in that particular case, they had more pressing issues.)

I never got such a survey. Guess they figured that bunch of people would cancel the subscription in the month before an announced price hike.

SQL is an Old Language of Ancient Power. You have to write the keywords in all caps.

(Fortran is basically the same, but it’s rarer. Lisp is too, but you don’t need to capitalise everything, as the Ancient Power is contained in the parentheses.)

“…and ripping that CD was annoying, because you then had an over long last track with the secret song, and you had to split the tracks manually and come up with tags on your own, or…”

(Seriously, the only reason I listened rarely to the last song in Halo CE soundtrack was because of this.)

Come to think of it the only reason I don’t have a Blåhaj is that I still have this one IKEA shelf that I haven’t assembled yet. (I will get to it. My pile of junk keeps mocking me.) And if I order more stuff then I have to justify the delivery fees and order more stuff while I’m at it.

Me: “Oh I’m fine with scanning QR codes for menus, actually.”
[QR code goes to Facebook]
Me: “Guess I’ll starve after all.”

“Oh I’ve been practising drawing. Lots of plans for comics I’ll be making soon, I hope.”

“Can I see your practice drawings?”

“…No.”
