surprisingly i am not diabetic somehow... i do have a bunch of other medical problems... including a chemical addiction to sugar that my doctor described as worse than heroin addicts...

pearl ibex
#

Lmao.

placid thicket
#

in case you were wondering. that works out to 42 - 2 litre bottles of coke or 14.5 - 2 litre bottles of cream soda. although i had a massive amount of candy too, wasn't just drank

#

weekly

pearl ibex
#

Too much sugar.

#

Ew.

void void
#

how the fuck did you do that even...

#

aik ar might be having physical repulsions from you rn

placid thicket
#

really was. almost killed me. now you can tell people (like your kids/friends kids) you know a guy that almost killed himself by eating too much candy

#

lemmy think...

void void
#

wont need to tell my kids that, they will not be drinking that much fuckin soda or eating that much candy period

#

that should be noted as child abuse tbh

#

straight up

errant echo
#

Yo HI Wassup is PaperMC almost Similar to SPigot??

#

or they are relatively similar

void void
#

to an extent

#

paper is a fork of spigot, with changes

#

in other words

#

it is spigot

#

just changed

errant echo
#

Ahhh so just more optimized?

void void
#

buying candy from the school, used to get 2-4 $50 candybags a week... 9 months in a cannadian school year, about 36 weeks

 9 months
x4 weeks
----
36 weeks
x $100-$200
--------
$3,600 - $7,200
x 3 years
----------
$10,800- $21,600

yikes, haven't actually done that math before. wish i didn't waste all my chore/allowance money

void void

placid thicket

they were horrified when i came clean after the doctor put the fear of god into me

errant echo
#

Wait one more question

IS there a Spigot Server or I can ask questions here as well

jaunty oriole
#

i know spigot has an irc server

errant echo
#

They are actually BUSY

placid thicket
#

if anything the school should be blamed for making no attempts at stopping me or telling anyone

pearl ibex
#

Why should they?

errant echo
#

They always keep disconnecting me :/

void void
#

what are you talking about fizznard, implying we arent busy here? kappa

#

Everyone is just waiting for your messages

vestal jasper
heady spear

It sucks and people threatened to sue me because they uploaded their logs to my website by accident

cosmic raft

Gdpr bs

vestal jasper

Kash has prettier text Vic

U suck 😦

vestal jasper

I didn't make sponge pagination so your comparison is invalid, city

heady spear

I am breaking up with you Vic, you’re not good enough for me

vestal jasper
#

ok

heady spear

I’m going to date this Russian cam model instead

placid thicket

but if i upload something to a server, how can i sue you for it? and GDPR cant be enforced outside the UK can it?

It’s a eu thing πŸ˜›

austere ivy

hello yes?

#

I got pinged.

limber knotBOT
#

@austere ivy

austere ivy
#

yes yes

limber knotBOT
#

@austere ivy

austere ivy
#

I have scanned over chat

#

vic, ignore them, this entire discord is toxic, so tread with caution

placid thicket
#

we were using you as an example of a prime target for being called retarded

cosmic raft
#

this is why i hide in channels on my own guild

austere ivy
#

yes, but you can't ignore others like leaf, vic, kash, city..

#

.. like..

#

basically everyone has been called that word at least once because as I said, this is a toxic discord

#

and since everyone's toxic, anyone new here that joins thinks that they also need to be toxic (aka calling everyone retarded) to "fit in"

#

and that just makes everyone more toxic, which is why as you can see I've not been in papermc discord at all recently

#

I find my quality of life is much better when I'm spending time with those who care about me, or those who I care about, rather than spending my time trying to impress people who don't give a crap about anyone but themselves

placid thicket
#

i just come by here for help when my server's shit hits the fan and when bored. always exciting

void void
#

so apparently when bonobo chimps have a conflict

#

they just have sex

#

thats how they make up

#

"hey did u steal my food?"

"yeah"
"u bitch"
"lets have sex"
"ok"

placid thicket
#

are you saying you wanna have sex with Brian to make him feel better?

void void
#

no

static badge
#

wtf occurred in the 5s I was gone

cosmic raft
#

you steal my food and i'll deport you to xi's bedroom

heady spear
#

Cute

placid thicket
#

Brian responded to a ping with philosophy nobody cared about

#

thats about it

#

then we started talking about monky sex

void void
#

thats what brian does

austere ivy
#

πŸ”«πŸ€ πŸ”«

#

wait

#

how do I do that

#

there we go

#

alright ciao ciao l'auve

heady spear
#

You don’t need to impress anyone here, and even if you try we still won’t be impressed

#

It’s funny how you think we care about ourselves. I only care about snakes and dark roast coffee

cosmic raft
#

i don't care

austere ivy
#

understandable.

#

also cold brew is best coffee.

static badge
#

only thing I care about is whether z actually puts on that halloween hat for halloween

placid thicket
#

trust me, none of the staff here care about themselves. or they would have given up and left for sanity reasons...

ancient bolt
#

brian everyone here isn't toxic, you're just a child

austere ivy
#

if you can't have dark roast coffee which is cold brew then bad

#

I wouldn't say this discord is that toxic

#

maybe a tiny bit

#

but it's tolerable

void void

its pretty toxic

you're just toxic as well thats why it's tolerable to you

WHAT THE FUCK IS A UNIQUE AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR HUMANS HAVE THAT OTHER NONHUMAN PRIMATES DO NOT HAVE

I HATE THIS CLASS

fuck sponge

heady spear

I’m not toxic at least

#

Everyone else is hella toxic tho

wide chasm
#

Just blame others at all times

errant echo
#

Guys does any of you recommend learn Java in SOLOLEARN

pearl ibex
#

No.

wide chasm
#

I can't remember the last time I recommended sololearn at all.

errant echo
#

But what I mean is that, do you or do you not

limber knotBOT
#

What does it even do?

#

Mobile code learner's? What's that supposed to mean?

#

Also, why would this discord be toxic? It's more like a cave where you get some echo back. If you scream something toxic into chat, you get bunch of toxic echos back, what a surprise

#

But when you spread kindness, you will get kindness back, right?

errant echo
#

More or less yes kindda, That's what I've observed so far πŸ™‚

#

So MiniDigger what do you recommend of a way to Learn Java

limber knotBOT
#

Just do stuff

#

And use Google to take you throu every step

#

That's what I did and I have been doing this shit professionallly for over 4 years now

errant echo
#

Ah okay thanks for the tips, Well Google is not helping me rn tho πŸ˜‚

#

Oh, Nice so you've been programming for 4 Years now?

limber knotBOT
#

Coming to think of it, I think I spend more work time googling than actual developing πŸ˜‚

#

Does that make me a professional googler? πŸ€”πŸ˜‚

errant echo
#

πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚

#

I refuse to listen that is true

#

Well if you see your self like it then maybe πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚

#

who are you btw

#

I know you're one of the devs

#

Moderators or what ev

limber knotBOT
#

Everybody who says otherwise is just lying, you can't know everything about programming, you just need to know how to help yourself

#

Am a random 22 year old dude that does Minecraft and stuff. Not much to know about me, lol

#

I am a contributor to spigot and paper and I have an insane amount of posts on the spigot forum, that's how you know me I guess

errant echo
#

πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚

#

So you said you're a contributor

#

cause there is kickash32 and leaf only neither 1 of them is you idk maybe welp sorry for asking so much thanks for the tip again appreciate it tho

limber knotBOT
#

Paper has 129 contributors, am just one small one of them

errant echo
#

Well I'm sorry if I really don't know you so XD

#

Welp Enough talking Imma learn XD Bye bye πŸ˜„

magic knot
#

Im very confused how did he got the bot tag above is name

errant echo
#

If I'm not mistaken he's actually a Bot and he's using something to chat using that Bot

#

Idk that's based on my Knowledge

pearl ibex
#

No, no.

#

That's the IRC bridge.

errant echo
#

Oh yeah forgot what to call it

pearl ibex
#

(Which i'm not sure if it's being ran by a bot)

errant echo
#

Its a Bot

#

I think

pearl ibex
#

Saying he's using a bot to chat could lead to misunderstandings.

#

Discord ToS shit, basically.

errant echo
#

Well sorry if I actually quite didn't know so Sorry πŸ™‚

#

Well yes

limber knotBOT
#

It's using webhooks

#

And why would I care about discords ToS when I am not even using discord? πŸ˜‚

pearl ibex
#

Well, not you actually.

#

Idk if talking about crap like that could get the server down or some weird shit like that.

limber knotBOT
#

Why do random ppl follow me and then dm me and ask me for a follow back?

pearl ibex
#

Lmao.

#

'Cause ur popular, my dude.

limber knotBOT
#

Some random "senior staff" at your average Minecraft server.com

pearl ibex
#

I'll follow you. :>

limber knotBOT
#

That only tweets random giveaways

pearl ibex
#

Popular between kids.

#

Well, you could be a pope if you keep going this way. ;)

limber knotBOT
#

I had to clean up my list the other day because ppl decided to retweet random 50$ giveaways all the time

#

Like, how stupid can you be, that dude got thousands of retweets for giving away 50 bucks, that's basically free advertising

pearl ibex
#

They have to get their MC accounts from somewhere. 🀷

#

Exactly.

limber knotBOT
#

Oh she's an Australian girl

#

Now am interested πŸ˜‚

pearl ibex
#

Wait what?

#

U from there?

limber knotBOT
#

No

#

Am a spud

pearl ibex
#

What the heck is that?

#

.g spud

limber knotBOT
#

@pearl ibex bots are allowed by discord team fyi

#

there is even a bot role you can assign to....bots ;)

limber knotBOT
#

(DiscordBot) found in a pet store in sweden : CrappyDesign - 8 comments, 7 points - IDonHaveAName, 50m ago

#

Spud = potato = german

minor sigil
#

Lol that is a nice name @placid thicket I would probably buy it

placid thicket
#

right? thats great. OP is retarded

minor sigil
#

I mean, if it does what it claims, then the name is just right

#

at least I wouldn't have to guess what the cleaner is supposed to do

placid thicket
#

right? and in the EU they dont care about language. you can by adult mags in any cornerstore

minor sigil
#

so I have heard, here in the US that name wouldn't encounter any issues either though

#

just people get blown away when some person decides to name their product after what it is supposed to do though

#

common sense to me but as we all know very rarely is common XD

#

for that price though, I would probably see if I could get a promotional bottle though to see if it does work

#

would hate to just toss $140 to something that doesn't work lmao

#

worse yet I think that is in Euros

#

so for me that comes out to about $170

#

Well according to google translate it says Norwegian, so the price is alright

#

139 Krone's is about $15 in the US lol

placid thicket
#

lol

#

supposedly the picture is from sweeden

minor sigil
#

ironically 139 Krona or more properly said Kronor for Sweden is $14.39 so I guess Norwegian currency is valued more then Sweden's XD

#

but its possible the picture is from Sweden but the product is Norwegian

placid thicket
#

idk fam, i just think the guy is a dumb

Hey guys, i am ducking and googleing for a while but didn't find a free web admin for a headless papermc server for not thechnical skilled admins and an ease of use. Is there any out for paper (payd or free) you use and is really working well or has anyone another solution for the ease of work?

limber knotBOT
#

you mean a panel?

simple lion
#

yeah

limber knotBOT
#

pretty much everyone that has a choice and needs an panel uses ptrero nowadays

golden gust
#

Anything you get is going to require some level of understanding to actually install it

#

(nor does it pull away from the fact that you've gotta look after the box the panel is running on)

limber knotBOT
#

I think he means for less technical users

#

admin = minecraft admin, not linux/server admin

golden gust
#

I know, my comment is more that if the reason for the usage of a panel is that you've got no idea how to use linux, a panel ain't gonna fix much in the long term

simple lion
#

nice πŸ™‚ I check out ptrero and might head back to you. Yeah, technical vps server management - thats my job, just some people are afraid of a terminal - just if they can edit some options without me or restore a backup when i am offline

dusk drift
#

Ptero is #1 rn

golden gust
#

Yea, ptero is fine then, some headaches around the memory limits (Make sure that Xmx is not set to the containers memory limit...)

limber knotBOT
#

fuck me

golden gust
#

but overall, it works

#

No thanks

limber knotBOT
#

I was so busy this morning I sat down at 8 am and didn't have the time to go to the fridge to pick up some coffee

#

I'd go for some breakfast but it's already nearly midday so I might as well wait until my favorite place opens up for lunch

golden gust
#

I woke up a few hours ago and I just feel drained as per usual, if not even more drained than yesterday, so glad I've got adoctors appointment tomorrow assuming he hasn't vanished off the face of the earth

#

I've ordered food, however; Gotta go pick it up, somehow \o/

#

was going to make a sausage and egg barm or something, but that's just effort and I'd rather go for a walk than try to stand up cooking

Is bungeecord just a reverse proxy?

#

Hello,
I noticed that the gold factories with the portals of the nether drastically reduce the tps on my server. Does anyone have an idea to counter these lags?

fallen oracle
#

What's a good factory? blurryeyes

grave lynx
#

gold*

fallen oracle
#

Yeah what's that

unreal quarry
#

Each portal block ticks. So that 25x25 huge portal someone made is 625 ticking blocks. Multiply that by 10 because no one ever has just 1 for a gold farm. Them multiply that by how ever many players are doing it.. that's a lot of ticking blocks..

#

What I did to combat that was I made that type of farm worthless. Basically I modified the pigmen drops to only drop rotten flesh. ^_^

limber knotBOT
#

changing vanilla gameplay instead of fixing the problem thonk

unreal quarry
#

You can fix what isn't broken.

#

Those portal blocks need to tick

limber knotBOT
#

e.g. one could only tick the most bottom row of blocks and multiply their spawn rate by the amount of blocks above it

#

*portal blocks above it

unreal quarry
#

Then what happens if a player walks into an upper portal block?

wide chasm
#

Wouldn't you fall down if there are portal blocks below you?

limber knotBOT
#

they would fall down to the lowest level

unreal quarry
#

Eh.. hmm...

#

It's too early for me to battle of the wits ^_^

limber knotBOT
#

:P

unreal quarry
#

I just know if you change the ticking of the portals you break shit (see early builds on 1.14)

short yarrow
#

Would you use an abstract class over an interface if your subclasses have the same fields?

wide chasm
#

Yes

limber knotBOT
#

depends, you have to remember that you can only extend one class at a time but multiple interfaces

#

also you usually don't use abstract classes in an api if that's your goal, your abstract class would be part of the implementation implementing your interface

#

also abstract classes can't be used in lambdas

heady spear
#

You can always add your fields directly to the interface

#

also please do use a bunch of default methods in all your interfaces

grave lynx
#

@unreal quarry And how did you do that?
With a plugin I imagine?

heady spear
#

No, with a custom server patch (that he linked to)

limber knotBOT
#

you might also be able to just use a datapack to change the drops xD

heady spear
#

just run the server with peaceful difficulty

wide chasm
#

Yeah, should just be able to change the loottable.

limber knotBOT
#

your mom is in peaceful mode

#

GOTEM

heady spear
#

no she tries to burn people alive quite often and actively tries to steal money from my siblings and I

#

quite hostile, imo

limber knotBOT
#

pls that's peaceful mode

#

hardcore mode would be you living in a hole in the basement working 24/7 slave labor and being cut off from the world

heady spear
#

who mentioned hardcore

limber knotBOT
#

I did

heady spear
#

you went from one extreme to the other

#

be a bit more rational

limber knotBOT
#

I always do

#

I'm an extreme kind of dude

heady spear
#

extremely lame

limber knotBOT
#

how else would I do extremely gnarly skateboard tricks

#

wicked cool

@merry talon that usually indicates 2 things, either you have insomnia or you have a hormone imbalance which can be caused for various reasons.

worth checking out your thyroid if you want to be certain. Test can be done with a normal routine blood draw πŸ˜‰

merry talon
#

everything else is normal

minor sigil
#

just most doctors for whatever reason haven't made it a standard to just test that

#

since it doesn't require any additional blood or anything when testing everything else with your blood

merry talon
#

I've only gotten a blood test in an emergency, didn't even know that could be a routine thing

minor sigil
#

yes, usually a blood draw should be done every year on your yearly checkup just to make sure everything is normal, there is a third thing that could cause problems and that is improper diet lol

merry talon
#

well that part's a given lol

limber knotBOT
#

yeah testing your blood is something you can do pretty frequently

merry talon
#

also yearly checkup has not ever been a thing for me lol

#

probably should be

limber knotBOT
#

I once had my blood tested during an asthma crisis of all things

#

they messed the blood draw up and I ended up covered in my own blood

#

fun times

minor sigil
#

just have to request the thyroid test otherwise they won't do it though, doesn't cost extra either ironically another reason I don't understand its not standard considering also the obesity problem in the US which directly affects your thyroid.

#

Technically it is recommended to have a checkup every 6 months at least in the US anyways

limber knotBOT
#

lol implying that the US has a good healthcare system

minor sigil

but I usually just go for the yearly ones instead lol

I don't think I've ever had a scheduled check-up

wouldn't cost me anything anyways

limber knotBOT
#

those only really become a thing that matters after a certain age

minor sigil
#

Should just have one every year regardless of age

limber knotBOT

I actually had my doctor call me saying that I had to show up or get dropped off of the system because I wasn't going there frequently enough

I'll mention it when I go complain about my back eventually

If you don't know your problem exists them you don't have to worry about it fingerguns

#

I have to go to the VA at least once a year as well otherwise I will lose my primary care doctor. While that not might seem like a big deal and I could just get another one. That means I have to wait about 3-6 months to get another one.

#

Downside of that is I won't get meds filled while I wait =/

limber knotBOT
#

meds, not even once

minor sigil
#

the ones that don't have refills and require script every time. Like my muscle relaxers lol

limber knotBOT

if you want to relax your muscles why not just work out or take a nice little dose of heroin

because one is for tension headaches

so basically you're telling me that you'd be extra hard to kill as a titan on attack on titan

extra thicc nape of the neck

minor sigil

have no idea if that makes me harder to kill, maybe if I didn't have muscle relaxers and someone didn't leave me alone XD

#

its the worst headache to have because the only other way to make it go away is to sleep

limber knotBOT

I want to imagine that the reason that muscle is strained is because you're actually a hobbit and are constantly looking way, way up

@placid thicket It could be worse, just look at Maxime Bernier and Andrew Scheer...

#

I'm an American, and trust me, Bernier's policies are very similar to what we have now with Trump, and it's simply been terrible for us.

#

Also, I think we've entered a political age where scandals are more or less brushed off. After all, Trudeau survived the SNC-Lavalin affair and Donald Trump (who's committed an unspeakable number of crimes) is only facing justice more than 2 years and eight months from his inauguration, and that took a Democratic takeover of the House and a clear quid pro quo before impeachment could start

#

And even then, it's very possible Donald Trump could still win re-election. He's raising massive amounts of money and can ready himself for the general election right now while Democrats are too busy with a primary fight.

#

(The influence of money in American politics is a complex and altogether sad tale to tell. Needless to say, if you're a rich person, you can spend unlimited amounts of money on politics and nobody will care.)

that's because it takes like 50mb screenshots

What happens for me is that when the file is opened, the Minecraft process is blocked until the file viewer is closed

it looks like it's blocking the game while opening the file, and then thinks the file is opening when it's open, which is kinda dumb

Taking the screenshot is fine, it's opening it that freezes the game

if you attempt to interact with the game while the screenshot is open, the game crashes

phoenix616: Two generations newer (i7-9700 vs i7-7700K) is 5% faster on that benchmark at stock frequencies

#

But OVH is selling an overclocked 7700K and you can't even overclock the 9700

#

The 9900K has a decent improvement but afaik that's almost entirely due to higher stock clocks, that's their best binning

#

A 7700K that wins the silicon lottery will overclock to as good or better perf levels than that

#

They just decided to run the lottery for you and charge a premium for the winners

#

Looks like I was wrong about the newer ones not overclocking as well though, that seems to have been an Ivy Bridge through Broadwell thing, all the Skylake generations have generally overclocked to similar levels or gotten better in later generations

#

So there is still a reason to get a newer one, you're right

Just not if you're doing single threaded tasks at stock clocks :P

yeah, thought it's the second year of the master's degree so it's basically nothing

and even then I've already failed to attend my classes twice lol

#

even though it's just the one 3 hour class once per week

heady spear
#

Ah. People told me it'd be impossible to work while studying and I called bs on that shit. I barely ever go to uni tho, as that's a huge waste of time. Still on my bachelors, so it might change 🀷

#

The first day of uni they told us we'd have zero chance of making it through in 5 years if we decided to work, and that'd we'd be miserable with failing grades. That was very encouraging.

limber knotBOT
#

not to stroke my own ego too hard here but really the only reason this worked out is because I'm insane, don't sleep and am really, really good at my classes

#

I attended 1 semester of my bacherlor's degree

heady spear
#

I think it's very possible to juggle uni and work as long as you've mastered time management. The problem with a lot of people is that they can't get shit done

limber knotBOT
#

the rest I did with no attendance and exclusively through final exams

#

and the semester I attended was the first one

#

still got into my course with a 15/20 avg with afaik is well above avg

heady spear
#

We don't have mandatory attendance, so I read the books, do mandatory labs and sit exams. The computer science shit requires zero effort, and the math is easy. Why the hell would I not be working?

limber knotBOT

tbh you get a decent feel for whether you need to attend after the first semester

heady spear
#

You'll have plenty of time to sleep when you're old

tall plume

limber knotBOT
#

also, just saying, what matters is largely whether or not you graduate with a degree

#

the grade you get is entirely meaningless

heady spear
#

I attend lectures if the prof is interesting, which is very rarely the case. We had this dude come from Moscow to teach discrete mathematics though, and he was dope

limber knotBOT
#

not to mentions the studies also become largely obsolete after a few years in the workforce

heady spear
#

grades are kind of important if you want to transfer, or continue studying. If you don't care about either of those then a passing grade is more than enough. Although, bigger numbers are prettier

limber knotBOT
#

one thing that people sort of fail to mention is that working while you're still in uni really, really makes you want to quit uni

#

yeah

#

continuing your studies really feels like a pointless endeavor and like a whole lot of unpaid work

heady spear
#

I wouldn't mind nearly doubling my salary by having that piece of paper tho

limber knotBOT
#

there's a decent possibility that you'd get that doubling of the salary by just working your way there

#

and you'd get paid to do it instead of paying

heady spear
#

and engineering is very heavily unionised here, so having a degree guarantees a way higher entry salary than what I can negotiate atm πŸ˜› The degree means more casherinos

limber knotBOT
#

tbh at this point I'm doing it for the prestige of having a master's degree

#

and because it really represents a small time investment

heady spear
#

it's a neat wall decoration

#

if you're that far along then there's no reason not to finish it tbh

limber knotBOT
#

some people (idiots) get impressed by it

#

I'd hope that people who actually completed those studies would know better than to be impressed lol

heady spear
#

I need to transfer the hell out of here before I start my masters degree though. The uni has decided to specialise in sEcuRiTY

limber knotBOT
#

my father is actually trying to bribe me into completing my degree

#

I mean IT is different from any other field in that regard... it makes more sense for traditional engineering to have some kind of paper that actually confirms that you learned how to build bridges that don't fall down xD

#

he's promised me 6k euros if I complete them

#

which is nice

heady spear
#

My dad owes me money

limber knotBOT
#

but also his business just ordered 30k worth of translations this month alone

#

so, like, ya know

heady spear
#

but he said he can't pay me back because he didn't want to go to work

limber knotBOT
#

it's more the intention that matters I guess

heady spear
#

I don't get why the software engineering kids here stick around for 5 years, if I were them I'd much rather just work

#

it's slightly harder to claim that you're a self taught computer engineer, although it doesn't really mean anything either way

limber knotBOT
#

I think there's only two advantages to having a degree in translation, those being the eligibility to get hired by the EU or some big international org and as a requirement for the ISO cert for translators

heady spear
#

you should get a phd so that you can use that dropdown when booking flights

limber knotBOT
#

99% of translators are freelance and wouldn't even think of getting an iso cert though, so it's really useful if you want to start something more large-scale

#

I'm actually thinking of getting a PhD funnily enough

#

it's free money

#

no one does them in my dpt and they are sort of desperate

heady spear
#

the stipends here are kinda meh

limber knotBOT
#

oh I don't give a shit

#

I'm collecting the money and working

#

I'll do my actual PhD work in a fraction of the time allotted to me

heady spear
#

depending on how I feel after my masters I'll definitely consider going for the phd tho, because the job prospects here are sad

limber knotBOT
#

can't remember exactly how much it was but I think it was a few thousand euros a month

heady spear
#

I'll probably end up working for the paper industry otherwise

#

paper is boring

limber knotBOT
#

soon you lads will have to call me ^-^,PhD

heady spear
#

Here you'd make around €2500 per month during the first 4 years of the phd

#

then €3000 the last year

limber knotBOT
#

yeah I think it was between that and 5k here

#

hardly matters tbh

heady spear
#

It's above average wages, but it's a lot lower than you'd make entering the workforce as an engineer here

limber knotBOT
#

if I use it as a supplement to my normal income it's a very nice bonus

heady spear
#

I can imagine

limber knotBOT
#

set it aside for entire duration of the PhD and baby that's my third apartment paid off right there

#

then rent that apt for about 1k a month and move to the beach, do nothing for the rest of my life

I've managed to go into severe student debt despite all our education being free

limber knotBOT

just kidding, I hate sand, it's coarse and gets everywhere

I think that's a great accomplishment

limber knotBOT
#

very nice

#

idk how much money I'll have by the time I end my studies but right now it's projected to be 30k

heady spear
#

Swedish students have relatively large student debts somehow

#

living costs are kinda really icky here, I guess that's it

#

I can apply to move to Spain for a year in which case I get money from the uni, the government and also from erasmus, and it won't be super cold and there's hopefully sunlight for more than 2 hours a day

limber knotBOT
#

man actually if I do complete that PhD I might finish my studies breaking some sort of records for my uni

#

I'd have three apts and a working business if things go relatively okay

heady spear

why the hell would you want three apartments tho

limber knotBOT
#

two for student rental, one for living

heady spear
#

also aren't those like worth nothing in portugal?

but the apts cost proportionately less as well

mind you the wages here are pure unfiltered garbage

#

550/mo is the min wage

heady spear
#

That's why Scandinavian filth like to move there with the Scandinavian pensions

#

We don't have minimum wages here because fuck that πŸ˜›

limber knotBOT
#

I have a friend who just completed studies in the IT field and he's having a hell of a hard time finding a job paying over 750 euros a month here

pulsar wigeon
#

wtf is a 6 bedroom apt

#

how big is that

limber knotBOT
#

pretty big

pulsar wigeon
#

do we have the same definition of apartment?

heady spear
#

€2900/month is the minimum with a computer science bachelors here

#

anything less is illegal and they'll get fined to hell and back

limber knotBOT
#

yeah here businesses would just not be able to afford that anyway

#

poverty begets poverty

#

people should just go to germany or some rich EU country Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

people who can do

#

those left behind can't really speak a second language

pulsar wigeon
#

but muh racism

heady spear
#

It's kinda funny how people talk about the EU like some giant monolith whereas the differences between member countries are insane

limber knotBOT
#

which is where I pop up as a translator :D

#

well, they should learn English then xD

#

yeah the EU is a monolith like the US is a health-conscious country

#

you underestimate how hard it is to actually master a second language phoenix

heady spear
#

NoT AlL aMEriCanS

#

I can barely speak one language

limber knotBOT
#

lol no

#

I sucked at English until 10th grade

#

never mind being Ok with using that as the language you use to communicate with everyone for the rest of your life

#

(which is 2 grades before you finish school)

#

it's hard to cope with having to use a language you're not fully comfortable with for the rest of your life

#

also people tend to take people speaking with a foreign accent as being somewhat less intelligent, especially when they sound like a troglodyte trying to find each individual word

heady spear
#

I've studied English since ~second grade, went to an English speaking high school and use English as the primary language in my daily life. I'm still not perfectly confident in my English πŸ˜›

#

mainly because this drunk American I met on a ferry asked me if I was Russian

limber knotBOT
#

I've been living in portugal literally my entire life

#

now that I'm completing my master's degree in portugal with portuguese studies I can confidently say that

#

I am not confident in using the portuguese language

#

I actually find that I am more fluent in English

#

also some people say that I have an accent which is really depressing for someone who's literally lived in the same city their entire lives

heady spear
#

By the way, totally unrelated

#

how close is Brazilian Portuguese to whatever you'd call... normal Portuguese?

#

as in, do y'all understand one another?

limber knotBOT
#

brazilian people often times claim they don't understand us

#

and tbh we often times don't understand them

#

sort of takes some effort from both parties to be able to fully understand what's being said

#

you can sort of compare it with really, really thick jamaican english vs new york english

heady spear
#

Mainly asking because I've studied Spanish for like 7 years and I am fairly happy when in Spain, but when talking to South Americans I can understand squat

limber knotBOT
#

I can understand the feeling of being more fluent in English, for me speaking German just feels different than English. but I guess the languages have a different melody so that makes sense xD

#

english flows better imo

#

english has a simplicity to it which is rather appealing

#

well... it's simple until it's not

heady spear
#

I feel like my English and Swedish are at similar levels at this point tbh. I often find myself defaulting to English words and my Swedish sounds hella choppy lol

limber knotBOT
#

it's never as complicated as complicated french or portuguese which are my main languages

#

e.g. the mixed in french spelling of words is just... wat

heady spear
#

Also I can't do math in Swedish at all

limber knotBOT
#

tbh I've gotten to the point where I rarely think or dream in any language other than english

#

then again I literally spend 90% of my day speaking or writing in english

heady spear
#

Going back to Portuguese, that kind of sounds like Swedish vs. Norwegian. We can understand each other if we try, but I've met drunk Norwegians and they're bloody impossible to talk to

limber knotBOT
#

pt vs br is a bit of a contentious topic

#

honestly I think it's highly overdue that we recognize these as completely different languages

heady spear
#

Oh yeah, same. Most of my friends and I talk English because anything else feels weird, as we went to the same InterNationaL BuSineSs SchoOl. I only consume English media. I study in English and so if I'm not actively engaging with Swedes, I definitely think in English rather than Swedish

limber knotBOT
#

the syntax is different, the grammar is different, we use completely different tenses and most damning of all the words that we do share can have vastly different meanings which make them completely unusable

heady spear
#

During high school I made a point of not using Swedish at all, my family didn't really approve but who gives a shit

limber knotBOT
#

iirc "rapariga" which is just "girl" in portuguese has a "whore" connotation in br

heady spear
#

I mean, you can't expect a language to remain the same when it's spoken on another continent. Languages differ from coast to coast within the same country, so that'd be bonkers

limber knotBOT
#

conversely "garota" which is girl in br is kinda demeaning in pt

#

so we can't really say "girl" to each other without being mean in some way

heady spear
#

girls aren't real tho so 🀷

limber knotBOT
#

tru

wish u weren't

heady spear
#

Norwegians call circles sirklar though which is insane

#

sirkel, sentrum? this is why people think they're dumb

limber knotBOT
#

also obviously language varies across countries but I don't quite know any one language which varies as much as br pt and pt pt

heady spear
#

because they clearly are

limber knotBOT
#

unless you want to count french creole which I certainly wouldn't not would anyone sane

#

nor*

#

at least sirklar kinda sounds like circle, lol

#

yeah that's a pretty minor thing

#

it's called Kreis in German

#

circulo in pt

heady spear
#

No it's not. cirkel I can understand, but sirkel? they're morons

cosmic raft
#

today I went from 2GB data and local phone calls to 10GB and nation wide phone calls

limber knotBOT
#

lol

cosmic raft
#

for $5 more

heady spear
#

but Norway is dumb for other reasons

limber knotBOT
#

imagine unlimited phone calls kashike

cosmic raft
#

welcome to Canada

limber knotBOT
#

oh I've been there

golden gust
#

*canaderp

limber knotBOT
#

massive shithole as far as internet and phone services go

cosmic raft
#

nope

#

internet is great

#

$80/mo for 300/300 fibre

limber knotBOT
#

two people once downloaded eve online in the household I was staying over and we exploded the data cap

cosmic raft
#

= 61 USD

limber knotBOT
#

$80 for only 300? Oo

#

I didn't even know there was a data cap for household internet services

#

I mean at least it's symmetrical

golden gust
#

Wait

limber knotBOT
#

yeah that's hilariously bad kashike

#

thanks for exemplifying it

golden gust
#

You're telling me that monoply money is worth something?

cosmic raft
#

not really, compared to what we had before

heady spear
#

they were occupied by Denmark for ages, so they used the Danish alphabet and Danish spelling. Then they became independent and some dude decided they should have their own spelling of words that actually match the pronunciation, so they introduced Nynorsk. Only that no one fucking uses it, besides like 10% of people surrounding Oslo. A language with like 5 million native speakers has two completely separate written versions of the bloody language

#

and they differ a lot, it's so dumb

limber knotBOT
#

sounds like what happend to russian in Ukraine

cosmic raft
#

$150/mo for 940/940 for comparison

#

not great prices, but way better than what they used to be

limber knotBOT
#

I pay 50 euros per month I get 1000mbps up/down

cosmic raft
#

and way better than phone prices

limber knotBOT
#

but wait, there's more

#

it's also unlimited

#

but wait, there's more

heady spear
#

wait 10GB data? that's sad

limber knotBOT
#

but yeah, norse is interesting, they have lots of signes with two spellings xD

#

I also get my cellphone data in it

#

but wait, there's more

#

I also get unlimited calls/sms with it

#

lol

heady spear
#

isn't unlimited calls/texts a worldwide thing?

limber knotBOT
#

<-- kashike has kicked ^-^ (Your behaviour is not conducive to the desired environment.)

#

yes

#

lol no

heady spear
#

like when I was 10 I had a text limit of 1k, but that hasn't been a thing here since .-.

limber knotBOT
#

it isn't?

#

germany is really bad with handy tarifs too

#

yeah

#

fortunately I am able to reconnect to irc rooms more than once per month because my internet isn't garbage

#

*phone

#

also I've not once managed to hit my data cap on my cellphone

#

always forget "handy" doesn't exist outside of germany, lol

#

and not for lack of trying lol

heady spear
#

I pay $20 a month for my phone plan with unlimited EU calls, text and 25GB of data

limber knotBOT
#

must be nice

heady spear
#

I get no reception in half of the country though

#

no one does tbf

limber knotBOT
#

also also 23% of that is taxes I get back and it counts as a business expense so I don't even really know how much it's costing me per month but not a whole lot

#

I pay 0 for 200MB. I have wifi everywhere where I would need it anyways and never call/text so Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

Canada is still behind with phones and will be for a long time

heady spear
#

when I still lived with my family I would have to be in the bathroom in order to call people

golden gust
#

God, I went to top up my phone before, the Β£10 "goodybag" i go for generally (I actually used to go for a Β£12 one), was bumped from 2 > 6 (+1)G, 500 minutes > unlimited minutes; They kept the unlimited texts, which is pretty standard over here for any package over a few pound

limber knotBOT
#

I had 20 phone calls yesterday for work

heady spear
#

with roaming charges gone in the EU life is kinda fun

limber knotBOT
#

it really is cityweeb

#

rip cat after oct 31st

#

lol he did that to himself

#

top up

heady spear
#

The EU isn't all bad tbh

limber knotBOT
#

prepaid?

#

inb4 they add roaming charges to internet traffic that goes off the island

#

kek

#

one of the best moments of my adult life was turning on google maps and google play music when I crossed the spanish border instead of turning mobile data off

#

Borisland

heady spear
#

Norway should join the EU so we get their oil money tho

limber knotBOT
#

turning on*

golden gust
#

Basically, it's contractless, you just purchase a goody back each month which includes what you need; If I didn't use data or anything, I'd just top up without the goody bag

heady spear
#

I am considering moving to Norway once I'm done with school, because the wages there are so much higher than in Sweden. They makes us look like a third world country in comparison

limber knotBOT
#

phoenix I bet $5 that they will turn roaming fees back on

#

the only reason roaming disappeared in the first place was thanks to the EU

#

yeah, but people on the island don't care about that Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

they never leave it anyways

#

runs

#

I mean they'll get their blue passports back

heady spear
#

I hope the UK floats off into the Atlantic

limber knotBOT
#

so it's all worth it

#

but yeah

#

I text and call regularly for work

#

I think that what the UK did was very brave

heady spear
#

They shouldn't be allowed to remain in Europe at all

limber knotBOT
#

they exemplified just how shitty of an idea it is for a country to leave the EU

heady spear
#

they're basically Americans with funny accents

limber knotBOT
#

I applaud their bravery and self-sacrifice

heady spear
#

can we start a movement to have the UK become a part of North America instead?

limber knotBOT
#

I knew some people who were on the fence about the EU as a whole before brexit happened

#

they are firmly pro-EU now

#

thanks UK

heady spear
#

But the EU has dumb banana import regulations bro

limber knotBOT
#

that's because I only want the finest bananas for my behind

heady spear
#

We had a very brief Swexit movement going on here

#

but people stopped caring after 5 minutes

#

Really, we aren't too bothered with anything

limber knotBOT
#

"We want to leave the EU!" - "Oh wait we didn't mean it like that..."

heady spear
#

We also wanted to join NATO for a while but then we thought Russia would see it as a sign of aggression so we decided to remain completely unprotected

limber knotBOT
#

actually speaking of brexit did I understand correctly that the new, new UK leadership is threatening to quit again?

heady spear
#

we found a Russian submarine in Stockholm and people were kinda spooked for a bit, but then we stopped caring.
