Flying Squid@lemmy.worldOPto Linux@lemmy.world•TIL when you change your region from US to UK in Mint, "Trash" becomes "Rubbish Bin."English3·7 months agoThank you. Now I need a job.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldOPto Linux@lemmy.world•TIL when you change your region from US to UK in Mint, "Trash" becomes "Rubbish Bin."English4·7 months agoI did. Left the U.S. with my daughter on January 20th, arrived here on January 21st.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldOPto Linux@lemmy.world•TIL when you change your region from US to UK in Mint, "Trash" becomes "Rubbish Bin."English5·7 months agoYeah, this feels like a courtesy thing. I just didn’t expect it.
(And only just now noticed after switching three weeks ago since this was the first time I had to delete anything in all that time.)
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish1·7 months agoShouldn’t you have known I was such a victim? I thought you knew all this stuff about me! You mean you actually don’t know about me? I’m so confused!
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish1·7 months agoOh. We’re already friends? I thought you asked me if we wanted to be. I guess we are. Which is weird, because I didn’t think my friends were people who insulted me and declared what I thought even though I was sure that wasn’t in any way what I thought.
In fact, I always thought my friends were nice and kind people who respected others enough to let them speak for themselves and didn’t run around lobbing insults.
But what do I know about my friends? It’s not like I’ve ever met them.
I’m fairly certain I like my friends, but I guess not if you’re one of them.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish1·7 months agoSorry, I cannot answer any questions about what I want. That’s for you to declare about me.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish1·7 months agoWeird, the version of Sync I have used allows you to easily avoid that just by clicking on the most recent comment link. But then I do not have this superior version you use.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish1·7 months agoThat would be a lot easier for me to believe if this conversation weren’t longer than the other one.
But then maybe I do believe it. You know me better than I do, so I guess you’ll have to tell me what I believe for me to find out.
Also, I thought I knew how Sync worked and how that isn’t in any way a limitation. But clearly I haven’t used the superior version of Sync that you use.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish1·7 months agoThen you can certainly come up with the questions for me.
Unless you’re planning on telling me you don’t know how to use a very basic Lemmy client properly in this thread and pretend I apologized to you here too.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish1·7 months agoYou tell me! I didn’t know any of this, so clearly I don’t know what questions to ask. You’re the expert on me here, not me.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish1·7 months agoThank you for telling me what my goal is. It’s something else I was entirely unaware of.
And then I milked the misunderstanding too! Wow!
Tell me, how do you know all these things about me that I am completely in the dark about?
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish1·7 months agoYou could have asked for clarification rather than just been aggressive this entire time, but your insults are noted.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish1·7 months agoWell as long as it’s obvious to you, because it wasn’t obvious to me.
I thought I was just one of those weird people who believed words mean things. Thanks for setting me straight on what I really think.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish1·7 months agoIf you call mountain biking a culture, I’ll mock you for that too. Because it’s a hobby and a sport, not a culture.
Something isn’t a culture just because you and your friends want to base your identities around it.
I’m way into Star Trek. If I ever heard another Trekkie talk about “Trekkie Culture,” I’d have to resist the urge to slap them.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish2·7 months agoBe as interested in Jeeps as you like.
Saying you’re part of a culture because you bought something (especially something prohibitively expensive) is not something I will do anything but mock.
I don’t hear about “Mercedes Culture” or “Nissan Culture.” Probably because people way into those cars understand that it isn’t a culture just to be into a car.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish1·7 months agoCool. What does that have to do with the whole “Jeep Culture” thing?
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You StopEnglish112·7 months agoSo does this mean I can stop hearing about stupid “Jeep Culture” bullshit now?

Unless you do the opposite.
No, I have dual US/UK citizenship (until Trump decides to revoke my US citizenship, which wouldn’t shock me). But I need to find a job paying at least £29,000 a year so my daughter can stay on a family visa. She’s currently only here on a 6 month visitor visa. My wife is also still in the US and won’t be coming over until I secure it.
