It was around 8:00 p.m. when a man in his twenties broke through the Jet d’eau’s security barrier and put his head on the nozzle. He was then thrown violently backwards.
After coming to his senses, the young man tried to hang on to the jet. A gesture which earned him to be propelled several meters high before falling on the slab.
If I'm reading this right, did he get tossed backwards, not learn anything, then decide to go for it again?
Last time I went on vacation, the hotel wifi wouldn't let my laptop on for some reason, but my phone was fine. The portal to log in just wouldn't come up on my laptop.
So I took my phone off the wifi and just spoofed my phone's MAC address on the laptop. Did that for the whole week I was there.
One time a dude was really blazed and handed a driver a $50 bill instead of a 5, but that's the only time I can think of outside especially large orders.
Baka and it's various forms are actually stupid, fool, idiot, and the like. Calling someone stupid is a pretty common way to insult them, so if you see that, it's probably pretty literal
That's correct, you can insult someone accidentally while complimenting them in a similar way. The particles は (as in wa) and が (ga) have different connotations that can simply different things.
So saying メリーさんの顔はきれい (Mary-san no kao wa kirei, "Mary has a beautiful face") causes an implication that Mary has a beautiful face, (... But nothing else about her is beautiful). Changing the は for が makes the statement come across as intended.
Without going into detail on the whole wa vs ga thing, wa is more like "as for x..." which can imply a "but..." at the end, whether stated or not, which causes this effect.
While not my native language, in Japanese, many insulting things to call people are often translated as English curses, but actually are just increasingly disrespectful ways to refer to the listener. The actual translation for them is just "you" but not respectful. This might not be a complete list, but I got most of them at least.
Anata - Polite way of saying "you" but not often used in conversation except between spouses or lovers. It's preferred to use the listener's name instead.
Kimi - Rude in a polite setting, but not explicitly disrespectful, necessarily.
Omae - Now you're on the level of picking a fight, but good friends often use this for each other.
When I managed a pizza place, people would ask if the driver could bring change for $100. I'd tell them if they wanted to leave a $50 tip, the driver can give them his $20.
Don't forget that when they do hit it big and get lucky, they often spend the robux they earned back into the platform.
The We Make Games documentary on Roblox interviewed a kid who made $20k USD or something like that off his game. Never cashed it out and bought a bunch of cosmetics in the shop he's stuck with, and he's kicking himself for it now.
If I understand the news on the matter clearly, he still has one last appeal to overturn his purchase. I think he's hoping to reverse Twitter back to the old owners in a demolished state as a middle finger.
It doesn't have to be entirely lackadaisical, but it shouldn't be as bad as it is now where kids must be locked up inside and supervised all the time. We didn't really go all that far from our respective houses until we were around 12 or 13, before that we were usually on our own roads or adjacent streets where the others lived, since we mostly lived in close proximity. Later on we'd go ride a couple miles into town and mess around a bit, but there were usually at least 3 of us together, and we didn't pay much mind to anyone else.
When I was a kid in the 00s, my friends and I rode our bikes all over the place. Our parents didn't know where we were, and unless they wanted to go out searching or calling people, they didn't have any way of knowing. None of us had cell phones.
Now, people are too scared to let their kids out of their sight for too long, or they might have a neighbor that can't mind their own business and call CPS over it.
The thing that sucks about that is the sheer amount of stuff that a modern web browser is expected to do.
Level 0:
Parse and correctly display the contents of simple HTML documents in a manner consistent with other browsers
Figure out what to do if somebody gives you mangled HTML in a way consistent with other browsers, because the page will just about always try to show the user something.
Level 1:
Implement who knows how many CSS properties in a way consistent with other browsers
Level 3:
Now write a JavaScript engine to manipulate all of the above, making sure that everything works like it does elsewhere no matter how non-sensical it is, because pages rely on that stuff to function sometimes.
Level 4:
Don't forget to implement media codecs so you can display video, play audio, and let the user control those via JavaScript APIs, and you have to render/play that in whatever way the webpage specifies.
Basically, writing a browser engine from scratch in a way that is in any way competitive is probably on par for scale on writing your own operating system. You might even accomplish the latter faster, depending on where you'd call your OS "complete"
