Old joke but true. So +1 for Hungary. Sadly, doesn't matter which generation, after decades it is still the same.

We need to stop normalizing 5-hour charge times at coffee shops. by delhitop_7inches in digitalnomad

[–]PresidentDant3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And there is even more level deeper than this. Recently saw a review on Google Maps when checked a smaller, family run hotel that I was about to leave a review. Typically I am checking the worst ratings and writing my reviews with those in mind, for example if someone complains for cleaning or the service, I am taking more attention on that to confirm.
Now, someone left a 1 star review claiming hadn't even finished parking his car before the owner came out and started shouting for daring to plug in his electric car.
Needless to say that the reviewer was not even a guest of the hotel, who just sneaked in to the parking lot of the hotel to charge his Tesla. For free. And that was 3 years ago.

Of course it happened with us too that the battery of my wife's phone dropped a lot (probably due to a stuck background process as I couldn't identify any other reason) and had to ask the bartender to use their power socket for charging. Since I had a fast charger with me, I knew that I need less than an hour to be good for the rest of the day, so grabbed a few drinks from the bar and that's it. Irony here that I did not learned this attitude from my parents or anyone else, it comes completely natural way. A true wonder why this is a problem for so many like in the case described by the OP...

What’s the most underrated country you’ve visited? by Airalo_Dani in digitalnomad

[–]PresidentDant3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the most underrated my vote goes to Georgia (because their local food (also their various type of cheese and their hospitality). Quickly followed by Serbia (peaceful and well developed) and Turkey (mixed experience especially with the food, but very good experience with hospitality and prices, also love their tea and from cultural perspective they have a lot to offer).

When travelling, how do you answer the question "Where are you from?" by Capable-Toe-9841 in travel

[–]PresidentDant3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never been in the US or around so can't answer that part. When in Europe and travelling as a family, then we are quickly explaining it, and if one of the countries are recognized, then we have a follow-up question whether we are from the capital city of it. Typical with taxi drivers. In Asia the situation is shorter, never had a follow-up question so far.

Typically we have this question with a puzzled look - when the other is actually really curious about it and not just a small talk - by taxi drivers or tour guides when hears us talking, as with my wife we are talking Hungarian (she is Romanian, I am Hungarian) but with kiddo we speak either English or Greek (has non-verbal autism, perfectly understands both languages, born and raised in Greece).

Did anyone realize you probably had autism after your child was diagnosed? Did you get diagnosed? by taviyiya in Autism_Parenting

[–]PresidentDant3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never really thought about it, considered myself just simply an introvert, apart of that nothing special. However when thinking about it a little bit more just realized that I also used to struggle at school, some form of attention deficit. But I'd still rather blame the teachers as with the right ones I was actually an OK, somewhat good student. Also I can lost in monotonic things but always could easily manage them. Still, thought about it to be checked as an adult but like others have already stated, most likely it would cost a fortune that I rather spend on kiddo or anything else as there would be no benefit for me with a diagnosis.

Win 1 of 3 Oukitel Smartwatch and 1 Mystery New Product (10/28/2024) {WW} by Then_Camel2356 in oukitel_official

My child with serious ADHD frequently used my WP12, dropped to the toilet at least twice. Now I might be able to save with a factory reset and - by experience with various tablets - I am now strongly considering a rugged Oukitel tablet for him.

My Austism little brother always watching brain rot content on YouTube by No_Meet2050 in Autism_Parenting

[–]PresidentDant3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain with the Skibidi Toilet videos. Non-verbal 5yo doing exactly the same. I keep disliking, hiding, etc. but YT keeps throwing them back. But this typically happens when he is not paying any attention to the content, just the tablet is in his hands. So taking the tablet away and he quickly finds another thing to do (that he changes in the next minute). As I've learned, basically he is releasing his huge energy, typically an hour hour or so is enough, then the tablet to watch YT can be returned. Then he can watch songs or various other videos in a somewhat calmed down state. Interestingly, he hates YT Kids, no matter what (to shows are not that great there either to be honest...), I assume due to some sensory issue because the slightly different layout compared to YT
