What's the most interesting traditional or formal politeness behaviour or table manners in your culture? Or for any service personnel, in your restaurant?
  • No one is going to behead you if you get the ages wrong for some reason.

    But as you said, it's only done in very very formal situations. Usually army/navy/airforce dinners and such. You almost never see it anywhere else.

  • I feel like this is a global thing but here it goes When serving dinner the women are served first, then the men. They do this from oldest to youngest.

    So, first person to get food/wine/water/wtv served is the oldest woman, and the last person to be served is the youngest man...

    Edit: I got the tittle wrong I thought it was only formal setting stuff. This is only done in very formal settings. Like an extremely important ceremony on the military branches of my country for instance.

    Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?
  • I grew up watching pewdiepie playthroughs. Then when I was in my late teens early 20s he went too edgy and I lost interest.

    He has changed dramatically since. He's content is very wholesome again, he's now a father (wth) and he's living in Japan. I looove their Japan vlogs. So much so that it gave me the confidence to visit Japan this year... Twice.

    What are you playing this weekend? 2023-12-13
  • Hahaha you're not wrong...

    Usually I play Skylords for about 30~40mins to take care of the daily. Project Zomboid late at night maybe 2hrs or so. Ruat about 1~2 after I get off work and then some league ARAM games here and there. It's tight but I manage.

    I don't think I could fit anything else in there though hahah I'm only considering GuildWars2 event since it's the weekend :)

  • LoL plagues me as usual.

    However I've been playing some Rust and Project Zomboid on the side.

    I am also playing Skylords (fan resurrection of EA's Battleforge) which is an RTS but your units/civ is made up by a deck of cards you build yourself. It's a very different take on the RTS genre and I never saw anything like it.

    Edit: might go enjoy GuildWars2 winter event. They are usually super fun.

  • To be fair, on the meme they aren't saying communism is the solution (although there any many memes that do).

    I think it's easy to criticise capitalism because people live with it on a daily basis. If these people lived under communism they would criticise it somehow.

    This kinda reminds me of something I heard someone say. It's something like "Democracy is shit. But it's the best shit we have".

    Is capitalism right? Nope. But I don't feel like communism would be a solution either. But I'm all up for criticising whatever needs criticising otherwise things don't improve/change.

    Also speaking as an European we might not have it as bad as the US (which is where most people are from here). Just the fact that our healtcare is free is a huge plus. When I was younger I dreamt about living in the US or even just going to NY, SF etc. Now I'm afraid I might get shot, get a huge hospital bill and come back broke. 👌

    (sorry, this comment turned out a lot longer than I wanted it to. ADHD is a bitch)

    Whats your such opinion
  • I mostly don't like the movement. Feels very... "floaty". Also the fact that when it released it only had controller mapping icons for the tool tips (this is how I remember it. Don't know if they fixed it afterwards.)

    I'm playing with a mouse mad keyboard ffs, just tell me which key to press. I don't know wtf L3 is on a keyboard.

    The world and story looks very interesting. I really want to like it... But I don't.

    Sleep.
  • This is me yesterday... And other days... And then I can't fall asleep because I am too worried that I should be asleep already and that I have to wake up early. This causes my absolute favourite feedback loop.

    Sometimes I just love being a human being :')

    How do you justify continually using take out delivery services?
  • That does usually work! But when I feel like eating crap the lady thing that comes to my mind is looking myself in the mirror.

    It does sometimes happen afterwards and I wonder why I did it. It's getting better. I'll get there. :)

    How do you justify continually using take out delivery services?
  • Started during covid to avoid going outside, plus I had one of the big players in food delivery as a client, so I got a monthly 20€ voucher. That got me hooked.

    I got used to it, became lazier, completely got cooking out of my routine and I the process gained 30Kg that I'm now slowly trying to get off for the past 6months or so.

    In a nutshell, I got addicted to junk food and was too lazy to go get it. Also had enough money to allow me to do it, even if I shouldn't for health and economic reasons... Could be saving for something like the down-payment on a house but nope. Spending it on junkfood+delivery (luckily tipping isn't a thing here).

    Trying to break that habit now.

    As a bonus: I ordered a lot from BurgerKing. Until the end of 2022 they had free delivery above 12€. I'd easily get to the 12€.

    Around January 2023 they changed the website to offer delivery ABOVE 15€ and that was crap because my orders usually didn't go that high. Turns out they fucked it up when coding it and if you managed to get exactly 15€ it would completely bypass this check and give you free delivery.

    Someone needs to go back to basic math >= :)

    Unfortunately they fixed it in early November. Good thing though as it might discourage me from ordering even further.

  • 10K€ would pay me some debts and allow me to buy a new(er) car than my old ass '93 corsa.

    I love the thing to death since it has so much meaning for me. But I really wish it had AC and power steering. Parking on tight spots is hell, but on the upside gets me a quick workout :')

  • Fuck man, if I had more money I'd buy you the steam page :(

    Hope you can get that soon! Maybe your indie might just be what you need to get your financial freedom :) good luck!

    What's a food you forget you like? Then you eat it, and wonder why you don't buy it more often?
  • Fruits. I don't have the habit of eating any fruit. It's super unhealthy and when I do remember to buy fruit when grocery shopping, I am always surprised how good it tastes, only to forget about it for a couple more months...

    Hi, I have access to a paid shop but have 2 Nintendos. This shop decided after a while that the "licenses" changed from being able to use on 2 devices to just 1.

    Now it's hard to keep mine and my SO's Nintendos games on the same version...

    I was wondering if I could host them on my pc somehow and create an eshops connection just like a normal shop. Then I could download the games from the paid shop, somehow pull them from the switch to the server and there it is. The other switch just has to connect and update.

    Is something like this possible? (sorry if the text is all over the place, it's late and I ran out of ADHD meds 🙃. Hope you were still able to decipher what I meant)
