I’m surprised anywhere in the US is that bad, I thought it was okay for gay people. Where in the UK? How are you finding the weather? Summer’s the same except you only need one jacket.

A couple of months ago my manager pulled me aside and very nicely told me off for not taking me annual leave. She said she wanted to see it all used before it reset.

Is this a normal thing in the US? I live in the UK and I don’t think I’ve ever had a vacation request denied in my whole life, even when I submit them with less than two weeks notice.

I only go on it occasionally to check out niche stuff but I’m unsubscribed to most of the defaults anyway. I still find Lemmy too extreme left wing but at least I don’t have to put up with all those crappy in-jokes.

Parents can’t police everything their kids do, especially when they’re older.

Does everyone have to file taxes? In the UK, unless you're renting a property or otherwise have some income on the side like that, you don't file taxes at all, it's just all done automatically.

I thought they were taking the piss with the $30, is that for real?

I used to live in Morocco and I paid about $3 a month for free deliveries with their local equivalent.

Carmageddon 2 - PC

I’m from England and I only really speak English. I speak a little French because I lived in Morocco for a few years but it’s really not that good.

One thing I learnt while living overseas is that while English people aren’t very good at speaking other languages, we’re really rather good at understanding foreigners trying to speak our language, even when they get half the words wrong and use a really thick accent.

Feddit.uk is good if you’re in the UK. Then you can switch to Local and see lots of UK stuff.

I don’t know much about them but I like the idea and I’d be more inclined to use one.

We have the Co-op in the UK and it’s a household name. They run a bank and local shops but I think do more than that. They’re not employee owned though, they’re consumer owned. I’m not entirely sure what that means but I remember you used to be able to walk into a shop, pay a small amount of money, and then join. Each year you’d get a small amount of money depending on how much profit they’d made.

What about VMware Workstation Pro? Or are you looking for something FOSS? It’s easy to download without creating an account and I found it easier to setup that VB. I actually switched because I’d been having connectivity issues with VB and it took me a year to realise it was a VB issue.

Everyone’s in here acting like this is happening because they’re getting rid of shops. The shops wouldn’t be going anywhere if people were using them.

People use digital media because it’s so much more convenient. I’ve moved house three times in the past four years and it was so much easier just having to move my console rather than lug a bunch of games with it. Plus I can buy them while I’m sitting on my arse and I don’t have to go to a shop or wait until the next day for a delivery.

People are using digital media because it’s convenient, not because the shops are closing.

Was Dishonoured 2 any good? I finished the first one but it was really soured by the whole chaos system thing. I really didn’t like how I was supposed to play the game without killing anyone to get the good game. Playing the game without killing people is boring but the sad ending is so depressing it makes you feel like you failed.

Here you take them back and you get a discount off the next one.

Just a thought I’m having, but rather than just spamming Reddit with Lemmy links maybe we should promote it more on Linux type areas, at least people coming from there will find their niche content here.

How is Lemmy (or whatever) ever gonna scale up to the size of Reddit though? If they can’t deal with trolls and bots and spam then what the hell are we gonna do?

They didn’t get to choose the apartment they lived in, they couldn’t own them, they were often basic with communal kitchens and bathrooms. It’s a good thing they were free because the wages were low, and people were assigned jobs so there was little they could do to improve their careers, not that skilled people got paid much more.

I have no idea what’s happening but if I know Lemmy then the community is overreacting.

I have paid full price for a game in 10 years and GTA6 will be late to the PC party anyway. Looks like I won’t be playing it until 2035.
