Ukuleleing while walking? That’s very undull behaviour, very undull indeed.

I had to know the context for this so I looked it up, it’s from a marketing promo for the 1995 WWF WrestleMania arcade game. The whole video just screams 1990s.

I ain’t no cog in your nition, man!

Omnivores will literally eat worms before going vegan, smh my head…

I think you’re overestimating the tech savvyness of the average person :P

Paragraph 4.5 of Google Play’s Developer Distribution Agreement is a rather large barrier. I’ll paste it here:

4.5 You may not use Google Play to distribute or make available any Product that has a purpose that facilitates the distribution of software applications and games for use on Android devices outside of Google Play.

I’d wager the majority of Android users have never downloaded an application other than from the Google Play Store. Even among those who would try, a large amount of them would probably get scared off by the “unverified sources” popup Android gives you if you try to install an app in another manner.

You’ve got me curious! I’ve always enjoyed eating spicy foods along with coffee, so this sounds like something I’d like.

You almost never hear someone tell a good joke about steaks. It really is a rare medium well done.

I knew a fortune teller, she was rather short but she told me a great joke about steak. Unfortunately, she went missing a while ago and no one knows where she is.

She’s just a small medium at large now.

I’ve seen that Medium article shared here before and find it very unconvincing. While I agree that framing the Proton CEO as an evil Nazi lapdog is a bit much, here’s a comment I saw on Lemmy another time this was discussed that explains why the article is flawed better than I could.

If anyone wants an example of Québecois swearing, I recommend checking out Lorembarnak. It’s lorem ipsum but tabarnak-ified.

This is giving me [email protected] vibes

As a service worker, I have a fair few regulars who I know will brighten my day when I see them. It really doesn’t take much; a friendly demeanour, a smile, a joke or two, it all goes a long way to make me feel like we’re having a human interaction rather than me being a machine through which you order food & drinks. I’ve been doing this type of work for years but I still get flabbergasted at people who answer “latte to-go” when I ask them how their day is going.

That being said, something that annoys me (not saying you do this, you sound sweet and self-aware) is when people try to chat us up when we’re clearly busy and in a rush. I don’t want to be rude, and I would love to chat if I had time, but when I have a mountain of tickets to get through I’m not going to be a particularly engaging conversation partner :P

EDIT: I just want to add;

Joy is rebellion. Kindness is radical. Optimism is counterculture.

Love this. it’s basically my motto at work. It’s kinda silly, but even something as simple as getting service from a friendly person can make a difference in someone’s day. Last year, I had a couple come in the café I worked at, chatted them up a bit, made them laugh. Come to learn they’re from out of town, and I ask “what brings you to these parts?” only for the lady to break out into tears and tell me they were here for her mother’s funeral. In between her sobs, she said they wanted to go out for breakfast to clear her thoughts from her grieving, and that she truly appreciated the kind and thoughtful service my coworkers and I gave them.

I went into the back and cried a bit after that, but it truly feels nice to make a positive difference in someone’s day. I think about her a lot when I have a rough day at work, it helps keep me focused on trying my best. You never know what someone’s going through.

I’m not an Apple user but I’ve heard good things about the Alfred launcher on MacOS.

That’s a lot of nuts!

I just took an edible and it’s starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out.

Getting stoned and getting the magic rocks in my homelab to do my bidding is one of my favourite ways to use up my time on this Earth.

This comment reminded me, I have met some people who played in a French/German improv league (LIBER). They’re based in Berlin and perform in both French and German. I’m not sure how they incorporate both languages, but I believe it’s just a free-for-all, speak what you want, answer in whatever type situation.

Je ne m’attendais pas de voir un thread au sujet de l’impro sur Lemmy!

The improv match format you’re referring to is pretty much exclusively mostly a thing in the Francophone scene. L’impro-match, or l’improvisation gravelienne, or l’impro style LNI started in the 70s’ in Québec out of the experimental theatre scene in Montréal, before spreading to other French-speaking countries.

The closest I’ve found on the Anglo side of things is stuff like theatresports or the Canadian Improv Games. There are similarities but the hockey theming is absent and the formats vary in multiple ways.

EDIT: I found this improv league in Spanish in Argentina who follow the same format with a direct link to the OG Ligue Nationale d’Improvisation. Like I mentioned in a reply to another comment here, there’s also LIBER in Berlin, who play in both French and German. When the referee reads the theme card, they specify if the improv will be in French, German, or a mix of both.

I don’t know about you, but whenever I’ve had schedules where I didn’t get two sequential days off in a week I’d tire out waay fast.

In your situation, I’d probably pick Sunday+Monday as my weekend. You get the extra for working on Sunday, and you get to avoid the stressed people on Mondays. It is nice to have one conventional weekend day off, the other commenters aren’t lying when they say working weekends limits social opportunities.

Here’s the link on Github. It doesn’t seem to be on the main F-Droid repo, only IzzyOnDroid’s, so I don’t know why the other commenter tried to link to it on the main repo.
