I think it's "Return to a life where you don't get internal organs in your hair?"

Why is everyone suggesting ventoy and stuff and no one is telling you to just reformat drives you no longer need? Or are they all live OSs in use? Am I missing something?

I haven't read harry potter for 20 years, got totally burned out before finishing the series and as you can imagine 14 year old me wasn't exactly very aware of trans issues but here's a few even my thick headed teenage brain found weird:

  • Bankers are basically jewish caricatures - short goblins with long noses that only care about money

  • Weird slavery message where Hermione is proven wrong for wanting to free the elves as a lot of them are happy with servitude

  • Every foreign character is a weird stereotype. I think there was even a Korean character with a chinese name like Chong? There was clearly no concern for portraying anything correctly, just a weak attempt to increase diversity with no effort I guess

There were also a few weird things adjacent to harry potter like how every major character is basically described as alabaster white and she later attempted to hide her bias by saying "I never explicitly said that X was white". Lady, you literally wrote that Hermione was a pale redhead in dozens if not hundreds of pages. I don't care if she's played by a 4 inch tall blue alien, just own up to it and stop gaslighting people.

Also, not a big deal but it always felt weird to me that even the nominally poor family lived a life of luxury. I could tell the person writing never truly knew hardship from the way she wrote the Weasleys. I can't say I have much experience myself but it felt strange how they kept saying a clearly upper middle class family was destitute and made fun of.

I feel bad for saying this but I pay for onedrive because it was the best way to make a synchronised library of ebooks that I can use offline in my tablet.

Yes every other cloud storage solution was more expensive or outright didn't support it for some god forsaken reason. Some needed you to manually press a download button. Google Drive needs you to manually set every file to available offline and even then it won't work all the time.

You want the EU to stop funding a shitload of games like they've done for decades? Weird take but ok?

You're right, but they do lead the Gaza strip.

Helsinki yes, Finland no.

Same happened with me but on YouTube! Reported an ad that was pretending to be fox news or something, led to a website pretending to be another news site that linked to a fake shell (the oil company) site to get your credit card information. Despite going very in depth about the scam "everything was fine".

This is 100% valid when dealing with code generation sometimes and I hate it

Look into Hema. I'm sure there's a club local-ish to you and if not just start one.

I live in Finland and used to live in Portugal. Trust me, you don't need to go so far north. Half the year you don't want to go out because of how cold it is. The novelty wears out fast!

Germany was pretty good but alas, hard to find work that pays well enough with the horrible housing situation.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely take a look at it and hopefully I'll be able to drop onedrive if it all works out :)

When I lived in Germany I told this joke to a bunch of people.

Foreigners were either slightly offended (for the jab at germans) or found it chuckle worthy.

Germans couldn't stop laughing.

It's a bit complex. IIRC He sold the rights of making games to a tiny indie company and then CDProjekt bought the company and made the much elaborate Witcher 1.

These sources are absolutely bullshit just so you know. One of them can't even get their countries straight. If I tried to move to the US (or anywhere else) with their suggestions I would just get denied entry at the airport.
