Several hostels I stayed at closed at 10 pm and wouldn't allow people to go in or out

Having worked in a call centers, I feel like it's the dumbest, most self centered boomers with "customer is king" attitude that just want to shout at someone rather than fix their issues (that can usually be fixed with a Google search). It's like they need people to suffer. Just let them hang up when people are disrespectful instead of this shit.

The languages I'm most familiar with are quite closely related to English, so I don't think that's really the case.

Actually, one thing I can think of is that English trends to aspirate initial stops, which probably makes those clusters harder to pronounce

Streets of Rage, even if it's just for the music

The original GTA, it somehow has the atmosphere of 80s/90s that only Více City could kind of replicate (and multiplayer was fun)

What's strange is that many other languages don't allow words starting with pt- or ps- neither but have no trouble pronouncing Greek loan words that do.

I thought I'd just travel a bit and do nothing until I'm broke before I end it, but life was great then. Now I've sacrificed 10+ years trying to save some money for who knows what. Got to make it worth the sacrifice before I go

Too many cultures/languages in a large space, they should split into smaller countries, it's like judging Europeans from knowing some Brits, but

– People with money are very arrogant, selfish and wasteful – Many clingy/creepy people that keep talking to you when no longer appropriate – Headbobbing – Mostly friendly, sometimes too polite – Workaholics – Always complaining about their parent's high expectations – Lots of IT workers who know what they learned to do step by step but it's like they don't know why they do what they do – Pretty condescending to other Indians from other regions – The usual: good but spicey food, hot weather, corruption, expensive weddings, overcrowded but still mass producing babies

I didn't downvote but probably people won't sit through a long video when the points he's making could be a short list. At least give a summary.

The Dutch timezone was actually UTC + 20 minutes until WW2.

I'm on a Dutch instance but it looks very quiet (I do have bot accounts disabled though).

I usually find songs I like and explore in / download from the folder it's in
