So I’m guessing I should expect something familiar when trying out Döner. Thank you for this info.

Imagine if this is the only content allowed on Lemmy Shitpost.

I thought it was a giant pea. As in these things: 🫛

Kinda reminds me of shawarma. I haven’t tried Döner Kebab just yet to compare, but I’d like to try it out.

I love the Sporty Rooster.

Donald goes rogue.

Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of car collisions, so… you’re making great progress.

I see advertising as a necessary evil. It helps small businesses take off and stay afloat (especially when alternatives for being funded aren’t viable for them), but at the same time it basically promotes corporate greed by shoving ads down our throats.

Abolishing advertising entirely would be improbable. I just want it to be toned down to the point where we’re all comfortable with it. Too much of a good thing inevitably becomes a bad thing. But too little of a good thing is also a bad thing. So things should be taken in moderation. In the case of advertising, the first statement applies; there’s way too much of it, it’s really in-your-face and disruptive, and we’re all getting sick of it.

Strangely, I don’t see any people, mainly because they’re either so small they appear microscopic in the picture, or because they’re being blocked from view by the buildings.

Yet their flagship television program, the Eurovision Song Contest, is still being sponsored.

Understood.

Check it out for yourself. You might like it.

The original Duke, S controller, and Xbox 360 controllers all have similar D-pads. I actually forgot they switched to a traditional one.

Sadly one. It’s my own, and it’s one that I wanna get out of so bad.

And tourists LIKE this place?? I mean, good for them, but I just don’t see how. Some have even moved here.

And no, it’s not Japan. It’s actually its polar opposite (not literally). If Japan is known as the “land of the rising sun”, my country is the land of the setting sun. It would make more sense before the discovery of the New World.

Give up? It’s Morocco.

I’d say Metro was fine, but it was mainly made for Windows Phone and the Zune HD, and in my opinion, only works well on these two. When forcing it on other platforms where it doesn’t feel natural, such as the Xbox 360 or the desktop versions of Windows 8 and 8.1, you get a pretty poor user experience due to the design language made primarily with touchscreens in mind. People got confused as to how to navigate their devices.

As for me, I quickly adjusted to Windows 8.1, so I didn’t hate it that much.

I think I’d be perfectly fine living up to the age of… idk, 50, as long as I’m living happy and as long as I die happy and painlessly. That is literally all that matters to me.

If your life is so miserable, why would you want to live a long one? You’d rather end it as soon as possible because it’s the ultimate escape from horrors. It’s why when given the opportunity to have immortality, hypothetically, I always, and I mean ALWAYS, say no.

As for health itself, well… it’s your body, do whatever you want with it. I don’t care. My only advice is be careful out there when you do get ill.

After leaving Reddit due to the whole API scandal, I noticed that that decision was really a wake up call to take a break off the internet. Actually, it made me delete every “traditional” social media application, with the obvious exception of YouTube. I’ve never felt better. Being addicted to social media for this long can have some pretty serious issues.

Lemmy is pretty great, so much so that it’s a part of my username now (it’s more of a pseudonym now). In fact, it being small kinda encouraged me to take breaks off the internet. I’ve had one for like… 2 months perhaps?

I’m not even dating anyone. I never saw the appeal to it. I never saw the appeal to having children. I can’t even take care of myself sometimes, how can I be expected to take care of at least my hypothetical wife as well with success, let alone my hypothetical children? Marriage forces upon me additional responsibilities that I’m just not ready for, hence I don’t ever think of marriage.

To quote Margaret Thatcher, “a man who doesn’t own a car by the age of 26 can count himself a failure.”

I heavily disagree with that statement. Everyone has reasons not to drive. From disability, to cities being designed for walking and public transport, to being opposed to the pollution that is caused as a result of it, to not wanting to participate in traffic congestion, to not being able to fucking afford one, to being so bad at driving that you just give up after failing that license test multiple times, or to simple personal preference. Are all these people failures apparently? How does that make sense? Well, I guess the people who give up after failing the license test are, but everyone else??

My country is ranked most patriotic in the world, at 94%.

I’m part of the 6% who isn’t patriotic. I’m instead proud of THAT. Especially since we have an extreme football fandom that I’m really getting tired of being a part of, mostly due to the hooligans that resulted from this. After the last World Cup, I just stopped caring.
