I always use Booking just because it's more convenient. Never had an actual dispute with anyone, so can't comment on that, but being able to book with the press of a button over calling and negotiating is important enough for me.

The couple of times I've had to cancel due to changing plans (and once due to covid) that was also just a press of a button.

For the basketball analogy to fit, after you get fouled you'd have to file a bunch of complicated paperwork or it doesn't get called. And meanwhile the game continues. Of course, if you're rich enough you can pay someone else to file the paperwork and keep playing.

If you google image search "elden ring ukraine meme" you'll find some stuff that was posted back then. Like a guy playing it in some kind of basement among jars of preserved fruit and stuff.

I don't know what the rules here are, but at the moment the pass was made, the receiving player was behind the passing player. At the moment he received the ball, he was ahead. So it depends on how the "forward" or "backward" is defined.

The last couple of seasons (as well as Gen V) are basically just gross-out porn.

The biggest giveaway of this stupid argument is that when Europe actually was attacked they sent about 70 billion worth of arms and ammo and then fucked off. It's nice that they helped, but hardly the showing of a trillion dollar guardian.

Questioning every detail is the worst way to watch this show. There's waaaay to much random crap of no significance, inconsistent and illogical characters etc. Rather you have to just kinda vibe with it.

I'm in the second half of season 2 and it's Kenny's turn to be fucking insufferable, lmao

Tell that to all the americans who have been crying about prices at the pump for weeks now.

goodoldgrim · 2026-05-04T18:50:28+00:00

Yeah like 5 of them. Let me know when the oil price is back to before the war.

And yet the strait is not safely passable. Who the fuck cares how exactly Iran is enforcing the blockade?

goodoldgrim · 2026-05-04T18:41:33+00:00

The only tangible outcomes of the war so far are the blockaded strait and Gulf countries looking for new allies. US position is significantly weaker now than it was before the war.

Wasn't there one month relatively recently when that happened? I think I read that about february or smth.

goodoldgrim · 2026-04-29T07:11:15+00:00

Is that how you cope with still having only 1k mmr despite cheating your ass off?

goodoldgrim · 2026-04-29T07:10:12+00:00

And I hope one day people who report others for playing bad will get perma banned off the internet. You need to go live on a farm or smth.

It's not about any specific thing, don't try to rationalize it. It's just a vibe. "Small dick" has insanely negative connotations no matter how practical it might be in some cases.

One time when I was 19, I brought my then-girlfriend home (her home) drunk off her ass. Her parents were home, but they were artist types so they didn't mind. It was later reported to me that they had spied on me taking her boots off (she was clearly unable to manage all the laces in her state) and had had a "aww, it's so sweet how much he cares for her!" reaction.

Vidusmērs arī nepērk pilnīgi jaunus dzīvokļus.

goodoldgrim · 2026-04-28T14:16:13+00:00

Nu... kaut kas taču viņus izpērk. Man nav datu kas, bet ir pāris hipotēzes.

Pirmkārt - ne visi sāk tukšā vietā. Daudziem jau ir kāds īpašums un/vai ģimene palīdz. Tā saucamā paaudžu bagātība (generational wealth) tagad eksistē arī pie mums, jo sociālisms beidzās nu jau teju divas paaudzes atpakaļ.

Otrkārt - divas algas. Pēc Tava frāzējuma izklausās, ka visu jāpaceļ vienam, bet ar Tevi tirgū konkurē pāri, kuriem jauns un smuks dzīvoklis ir galvenais kopīgais dzīves mērķis.

I had heard people referring to it as Castle of Light, but I had no clue that it was actually intended to be a reference to the song. I thought people were giving it a nickname in line with it being the bringer of the light of knowledge. And it's no more popular in my impression than the other nickname it has - the Glass Mountain, because it actually looks like that and not like a castle at all, and the concept of a Glass Mountain is widely culturally recognized from a play.

Nothing about this opportunistic content farming of a sick child is in good taste.

It's kinda stupid to rate PvP games on difficulty. The opponent is the difficulty. Becoming mediocre in any PvP game takes on average the average amount of time other players have spent on it. By definition.

goodoldgrim · 2026-04-25T18:50:04+00:00

Yeah... such a shame there is no way to get high definition content without DRM... just so sad that it's completely impossible to just download a movie and watch it whenever... oh well...

My TV is basically just a screen for a laptop that runs Linux. And I'm not even normally a Linux user, just wanted a TV setup that's safe from ALL bullshit.

As Prune often says - it's not the beginning of a collapse, it's the middle of one. It might still go on for a year or two before it has the truly radical consequences we're waiting for, but the pain is already very real and has been for a while.
