I'm an immigrant in the UK and the country keeps giving me more and more reasons to leave. It's turned into an absolute xenophobic hellhole in the last few years.

'Murica isn't the center of the world, numbnuts. And neither are you.

They didn't though.

He became PM through an internal Tory vote for a leader, after the previous PM stepped down. She became leader in exactly the same way and had only lasted a seven weeks since her predecessor was forced to quit.

The Tories are truly awful, and their choice of leaders has shown that.

It's listed on their official update video so it does exist. But it says "on compatible devices and countries" so might only be on the newest phones so far?

The comments point you make is a really great one. I was the same on Reddit, never engaging on something because by the time it appeared in my feed, it would be thousands of comments deep. Everything that needed to be said had been said.

But on Lemmy, it's much easier to jump in and actually have a conversation.

I switched over when it was announced Sync for Reddit was closing, but became much more active when Sync for Lemmy arrived due to it being an interface I had been familiar with for a decade. But the move came at a time where I was taking steps to reduce my empty consumption too, deleting social accounts and replacing them with books and newspaper subscriptions. The lower content count on Lemmy is perfect for that as it means I still get great stuff in my feed, but it's not really possible to scroll forever. Instead I now open a newspaper app, use Pocket to read an article I've saved or pick up my book on the Kindle app. I'm generally just consuming much better quality media due to much fewer distractions.

I worked in customer support for a car rental company when I was in my late teens in Ireland. An angry English woman called cause she had some minor issue. She ended up going on a rant saying "I specifically asked to not be given one of these foreign cars. Can't you give me something British, like a Vauxhall?"

I checked her account and could see she was driving an Opel Astra. She wouldn't believe me Vauxhall and Opel were the same brand.

I'm not even going to go into her referring to things as foreign while she was literally in a foreign country...

Is that you, Reagan?

Strongly recommend this too. It's takes a minute to get used to but once you do, it feels very natural.

I second this!

I actually use an Orbitkey holder to keep things neat and less bulky. Strongly recommend adding their multitool to that too, which I find super helpful.

I have a Secrid Miniwallet for cards and some cash, but usually I just use Google Pay so rarely even have that with me now.

It depends on where in Europe you plan on going, but there's an abundance of good Caribbean food in the west, especially the UK. Authentic Mexican is harder to come by, but it's improving.

BBC abuses the hell out of that feature. They've pinged phones for much less than this in the past.

WTF does that have to do with this article? You went out with some people from two countries and your opinion instantly makes everyone from those countries "sick in the head"? I'm Irish and can happily tell you that you're talking shit.

If you or a friend has a PS5 with a PS Plus Premium subscription, you can trial the game for two hours. Your progress will transfer over if you decide to buy, but that's as close as you're going to get to a demo I think.

TickTick sounds like a good option for what you want. It's a very simple tasks list app but allows you to share those tasks with other users.

Absolutely this. I don't mind eggs as an ingredient but straight up eating them is foul.

On the topic, can we please get some savoury brunch options which aren't completely built around poached or scrambled eggs? Sure you can remove them, but it takes away such a massive percentage of the dish. Even vegan dishes just substitute the egg for a tofu scramble 🤢

I was at the final and loved Sweden and Finland. But yeah, Belgium is a great 90s banger. I still listen to it frequently and I hope Gustaph has more on the way.
