A different social circle of mine has been sharing personal bingo cards so I might as well stick mine here as well.

Calling the USA "America" is like calling Central African Republic or South Africa "Africa" and no one does that because they're relatively insignificant. Maybe the USA will be like that one day.

I guess my current thought on UBI is that I would rather be unemployed, getting just enough to get by, and have the opportunity to explore potential cashflow ideas over the other options

Every once in a while I wonder if I would have been offered MAiD leading up to my brain surgery had it happened more recently

How do YOU say gouda?

I like the idea that coffee tastes like music sounds, but I posit this: music sounds like coffee tastes youtube.com/watch?v=IkssYHTSpH

I have a skewed perspective thanks to not ever having to do “dating” for the sake of finding a long-term relationship but it seems like all the options people have are either first-impression judgement by appearance or by meatspace social skills and both of those are not anywhere to close what I’m good at

My pet peeve - delivery companies that are far too eager to mark a delivery as "started", but not remotely willing enough to admit that something has gone even mildly wrong.

Also the fact that the court is funded by the state and can also side with the state sure doesn't seem fair.

I've come to realise that non-tech-savvy people reading mainstream news sources about tech news might be the bane of my existence. Not the people, but the reading. I don't need MSN burying the lede and confusing people when it comes to upcoming changes to a platform's authentication methods, CBC fearmongring about password leak, or Fox News confidently telling everyone to “just clear your cookies”

Smartphone is not a computer in your pocket.

Computer is a desktop sized smartphone.

Toasted sesame seeds are basically savoury sprinkles

Once, someone told me that I lived under a rock because I didn't know a certain pop-culture reference. Nay, we all live under different rocks.

When someone says “lets go Dutch” I assume that means “let’s put our klompen on and take the feits to the patatzak or get an ijsje op strand"

If someone from a place that allows recording without consent calls someone in a place that requires consent and records the call, are punishable?
