Excluding all of the @everyones.

Can't just suppress all of them. Some are important.

I remember someone saying that most Java devs use IntelliJ. Only a few posts there get 100+ upvotes. And you should see the comment section.

[neon bramble]

Do really quarter of Java devs use vscode?

[wide chasm]

I mean, talking about IntelliJ in a thread about Eclipse doesn't really make much sense.

[vernal moth]

its not exclusive

I use intellij and vscode

[neon bramble]

[vernal moth]

more context

https://i.imgur.com/bNRwZoh.png

https://www.jrebel.com/blog/2021-java-technology-report

[neon bramble]

I mean 48% is still far more than it should be

[vernal moth]

everybody can choose what they want

[wet storm]

I use vscode for java sometimes because it uses less RAM than intellij, but obviously has less features

[vernal moth]

people in that survey don't really use vscode for java. they are java devs that use vscode for other stuff like normal text editing or frontend stuff

[neon bramble]

I mean IntelliJ has nice integration for frontend stuff

But using vscode as a text editor is understandable

I use Kate btw.

[wet storm]

But mainly I use vscode for describing drafts of apis / libraries (goals, main components and sort of "specifications"), I write it all in markdown. Also vscode has a nice feature called "zen mode" which makes it fullscreen and without any other details, just text and you...

[vernal moth]

IJ can do that too

[neon bramble]

Can it?

[vernal moth]

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/ide-viewing-modes.html

Smh people don't know their tools

[limber knot]

I never got distraction free/zen mode but people are different I guess

[vernal moth]

it helps if you want to ignore popups that discord/team/outlook whatever might send you

[limber knot]

I tend to just use a system wide dnd for that

gotta love servers showing as available on soyoustart that aren't orderable :S

[void void]

phoenix is a llama and kyngs is a hippo

many animals in this server

[neon bramble]

[nimble berry]

Same, roughly. I use VS Code for the majority of my development, and only use IntelliJ when something requires me to (which is one thing to date: Codename One)

[still sorrel]

hell yeah

I fixed our CI server

it has been 5 months since it was broken

nobody bothered fixing it

finally automated tests run again

[limpid knot]

Ionno how to write in cursive

[still sorrel]

not for spigot plugins

[limpid knot]

Oh

[magic river]

I document the API additions in an MR, ping the person who is going to need to use them so they can see the new additions and know when they're live, and yet I still get asked how they work and if they're live yet

In the MR comments

Does this shit say merged to you?

[left spear]

Hello this is a dumb question I guess
I want to create a new world without lose player data like the inventory

[unkempt drift]

so player's inventory is stored in their player file inside the playerdata folder

so you can just move your current world folder somewhere else (good to keep a full backup)

then copy all the files inside that playerdata folder into the new one that is generated

[left spear]

Thanks so much!

[real saddle]

can anyone give me minecraft server lobby concepts??

i need ideas

various things we can arrange on lobbies to engage players

[languid karma]

Put launchpads

[real saddle]

fresh ideas

[languid karma]

Idk why but they are so fun for me

[real saddle]

those are seen in most of the server and we already have those

[golden gust]

ah, yes

paper general

the place where devs and server owners come up with OG ideas to make a spawn more attractive

and instead of keeping them to themselves to apply on their servers, give it out to randomers on the internet

[real saddle]

ok

ok, this is really bad

also, just because someone is from Russia doesn't mean they support the war

[visual creek]

Hey, for custom fonts in resource packs, im using the below code in my fonts/default.json, and then using the below command but it just displays the little rectangle, so its not like actually replacing it. Thanks

    "providers": [
        {
            "type": "bitmap",
            "file": "minecraft:font/star.png",
            "ascent": 0,
            "height": 10,
            "chars": [
                "\uEff1"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

/title IEatBeans actionbar {"text":"\uEff1"}

my pack is loading, because the other things in it work

just not the font

i can confirm its reading the file, because a used a ttf type and that worked

so it seems to just be smth with bitmap

[vernal moth]

Sanctions against Russia are the only way to stop the war tho, you need to get thru to the normal people

[visual creek]

i figured ot out

or actually

maybe

]lol

hmm

i had it, then that

[golden gust]

Yes, but it's easy to say that normal people should stand up when you live in a democratic country in which doesn't have a gun to your head or the incling to throw you away for a long time because you stood against the state

people have been protesting against their government

many of those peoples lives are now ruined

and the invasion is still in full swing! progress!

[lavish compass]

it's also unfair and immoral to plant malware targeting normal Russians

[vernal moth]

Can't jail everybody, they will be known as heroes once Putin is gone

[golden gust]

they know there'll be a gun pointing at their lives if they do much

this is so cursed, if i delete some lines from the one i copied from vanilla it breaks, but others dont

[vernal moth]

Or 7?

[meager tusk]

Still deciding on whether I want an iPhone or an android phone

Like, iOS is well designed but I can't Balkanize it

[vernal moth]

Wait no gboard is fooling me

[vernal moth]

Huawei are amazing phones with bad software

Which is why the nexus 6p was amazing

Huawei phone with google software

I adored that phone, everything was perfect

[meager tusk]

I used the Huawei phone with the stock huawei os

[vernal moth]

Then google abandoned the nexus line

[meager tusk]

I don't remember what it was called

But it was horrible

[tropic flame]

I got a P Smart 2019 and my only complaint is the overaggressive battery optimizations

it needlessly kills apps on the background, more than stock android itself

but i disabled it through some ADB commands

[worn ember]

man ASP.NET is such a mess. It's so painful to do anything

Oh you want a page? You should do these 4 other things first

[vernal moth]

Sounds like a Microsoft product

[magic river]

AT&T is really limiting my options for new phones, it's kind of sad

Like, I want a non-AT&T phone so I can still do tethering without paying them an extra $50/month but then you can only get like 30 different phones now

Most of which are various Galaxy phones

It's dumb, I can use unlimited data on my phone but because once a week I want to use like 100MB for an hour or two via my laptop they want an extra $50

[native wolf]

well, the answer is pretty obvious, right?

lol

[void void]

How large is your character sheet?

It divides the resolution over the chars iirc

[visual creek]

i just took the defualt one and made it red for testing

[left swift]

mini got us off the politics topic by bringing up phones

[visual creek]

the nonlatin

[left swift]

[visual creek]

@void void

thats my "character sheet"

[void void]

iirc it needs to be a certain resolution based on the character count. e.g. if you have two lines of 16 characters, the sheet would have to be 160x20 for 10x10 icons

[visual creek]

oh, what if i want my icon to be larger

like many servers use fonts for very large gui textures

[void void]

you can make them larger, 10x10 was just an example

[visual creek]

ok, so how do i tell it its larger

is that the "size", so if i put 20 it would be 20x20

and if its the wrong size it just straight up doesnt read it and dies

OH YEA IT WORKED!

tysm

im gunna write a gist when i am more confifdent, cuz thats not documented at all

[visual creek]

it seems to work, but not for larger sizes

and it also doesnt seem to actually display the image larger

it just makes it higher quality

is there a way to actually make it appear larger

oh, maybe thats height

oh yea thats ut

cool

Blazor is a lot nicer though

sadly i couldn't use it cuz non of my teammates knew how to use it

ASP.NET has some nice things but most of it juts feels like battling a bull that wants to throw you in the river every step of the way lol

doesn't help that half the stuff is just a black box with little to no documentation

[meager tusk]

Sounds like a Microsoft product

[visual creek]

anyone know of any way to hide the **:** or any duration with a resoure pack?

would it be a custom font or

i tried having the absorbtion a custom font, but the duration is on top so i cannot cover it up

I occasionally get some hot pockets or a kitkat but none of that stuff is in my daily life

Only the perfumes, I think

I get my cat food from Colgate and my dog food from Smucker, apparently

jeez these companies own some weird stuff

[lilac moon]

I don't think I've ever had a hot pocket

Wait isn't Colgate the toothpaste company

[magic river]

lol, yeah

Smucker is the jam company

[lilac moon]

Oh yeah that too

[magic river]

Smucker also owns Folgers, Dunkin Donuts, and Meow Mix,

[lilac moon]

Krispy kreme is better

[magic river]

Colgate owns a bunch of stuff, mostly various soaps, detergents, toothpastes, and deodorants but also pet food

[golden gust]

oh, I was confused on why nestle came up

how tragic that nestle is continuing to sell nappies and formula used for babies of the normie class who have 0 say in this

He is sleeping inside a little room on his cat tree and suddenly smacked in to the side of it really hard

I ended up sleeping on the floor for a while until she made my littlest brother share a bed with my other brother, one night, idfk what happened, but my brain was just like, "imma move my head forward really fast"

and slammed my forehead right into the edge of the corner of the bunk beds

[vernal moth]

lets not

[raven basin]

I mean they killed babys which imo is pretty bad

[next frost]

how is that related

[vernal moth]

nothing comes close to what hitler did

[raven basin]

yeah obviously

[vernal moth]

so why are you trying to compare it?

[raven basin]

because they both commited mass genocide

[golden gust]

I mean, they're a shitty company

there are many reasons to hate them

[raven basin]

one was just on a greater scale

[golden gust]

them feeding babies is not the reason, lol

[vernal moth]

just

[ashen cliff]

Don't bring up the 🍌 republics.

[vernal moth]

just stop you are making yourself look like an idiot

[raven basin]

"With unethical business practices such as taking clean drinking water in areas that sorely need it, participating in human trafficking and child labor, and exploiting uneducated mothers in third world countries, Nestle is quite possibly one of the world's most corrupt corporations."

[vernal moth]

nobody is disputing that

[neon bramble]

[raven basin]

obviously they aren't as bad as hitler but some of nestles actions kind of relate

[vernal moth]

no they dont, just stop, last warning

[limpid knot]

all these companies really be under one huge ass parent

i never knew kraft owned most of these

[neon bramble]

Lol only like 4 of these operate here

I wonder how it is in Germany

[golden gust]

it's all generally brands which they've bought over the years around the world

[raven basin]

theres only like 3 companies that control the whole food market

[golden gust]

same case for many markets, tbqh

[neon bramble]

Sometimes I'm glad I don't live in the US

[raven basin]

why

[golden gust]

It's the same around the entire world, tbqh

many of the companies you probs buy from daily are probs tracable within their own markets upto a few global brands

[neon bramble]

Not really, especially in the former eastern block. We have a lot of local companies

You need to know what you buy btw due to that prime minister owning a huge company thingy someone has developed an app that would tell you whether a product was from him or not

[raven basin]

bro ever heard of fedex

[golden gust]

Yea, that's why they're rebranding, some news paper over here apparently did an exposé on how shitty they where

[neon bramble]

Half of the things in the supermarkets were from him

And the database was incomplete

[raven basin]

fedex courier straight up stole my garden gnome

💀

serious

[golden gust]

nick nack tally wack fedex took a gnome

[neon bramble]

^

[vernal moth]

oh they rebranded wrold wide

[raven basin]

do you have fedex in the eu

[vernal moth]

but dont have anything on their news site?

[golden gust]

common joke I've been seeing now is that evri package goes missing

[neon bramble]

Not that I'm aware of

[golden gust]

their site redirects over here

[raven basin]

I think fedex ships to eu

[golden gust]

fedex use local carriers across the pond

like if fedex ships something general chance is that it will be delivered by royal mail or I wanna say DPD over here

[vernal moth]

dhl most likely

dpd suuuuucks

[neon bramble]

:YEP:

[golden gust]

It's the joys of it all

consumers literally have 0 say in whom delivers their shit

[raven basin]

if you get fedex 100% your package is at least extremely damaged 70% chance to be in your neighbors mailbox/porch 40% chance to be in your local creek and 50% to be outright stolen

[vernal moth]

lmao dpd moved to france?

[golden gust]

the fact that consumers went so far out of their way to avoid stuff from hermes that they had to rebrand is comical

[ashen cliff]

Here, most stuff is just owned by Podravka at this point or Kofola.

[neon bramble]

Oh wait

Fellow Czech guy?

[ashen cliff]

No.

[twin lagoon]

fedex is amazing here

[neon bramble]

Both of those companies are czech

[twin lagoon]

they don't do local carriers here though

[waxen panther]

dhl best

[ashen cliff]

But the Czech are buying everything we have, because why not.

[raven basin]

amazingly bad

[neon bramble]

Poland?

[vernal moth]

amazon logistics has by far the best delivery experience here (if you ignore UPS but thats another league and not used for consumer stuff)

[twin lagoon]

i've heard many horror stories about fedex in the US but here they're fantastic

[ashen cliff]

I'll give you a hint: Radenska.

[twin lagoon]

i mean you get what you pay for

the only time i use them is for international priority shipping

[vernal moth]

I had an AL guy call me and wait for me to get to my flat from office

[golden gust]

Yea, amazon logistics is hands down the best company out there for delivery, literally 0 debate

Some, some lazy af drivers here and there, but, for the most part, they sweet af

[wet storm]

Slovakia?

[raven basin]

the problem with fedex is that they consistently deliver your package damaged its not a rare occurence that doesn't happen often like I found my moms package in the road once

Id rather carrier pigions deliver my package

[neon bramble]

Oh, this reminds me of ordering a keycap from the US for 10$ + 10$ shipping.
The guy sent it through uspost and it arrived here in a week which was very nice. Then they handled it to the local post.
Due to the new EU law, even such a cheap package wasn't exempt from tax.
So they offered to do the thing for me for a small fee.
It took them 2 months and they charged me 20$

[golden gust]

fedex is now trailing a paper-boy like delivery mechanism, from their van to your doorstep in .2 seconds!

[vernal moth]

what I will never understand about the US is that people just drop off the package whereever

[raven basin]

Wdym

[vernal moth]

here they have to give it to me personally or a neighbor, they can't leave shit unattended

[twin lagoon]

usps is the definition of garbage

[neon bramble]

True lol

[raven basin]

are there a lot of porch pirates near you

[neon bramble]

They were surprisingly fast

[ashen cliff]

Bruh. Just a couple letters away. 🛌

[raven basin]

aka 14 year old junkies

[twin lagoon]

porch pirates don't exist

[vernal moth]

that literally is not possible here

[neon bramble]

Oh Slovenia

[ashen cliff]

Congrats.

[vernal moth]

for some orders on amazon, I even need to give the AL guy a secret code before he gives me the package

[raven basin]

You can get robbed over your package

[neon bramble]

I didn't know local companies operate in your country

[raven basin]

Like they can hold you at gunpoint

[ashen cliff]

They used to.

[raven basin]

and just be like give me your package

[ashen cliff]

So, we decided to sell all of them. Well, 1 person did.

[vernal moth]

land of the free, amirite

[raven basin]

if you all have guns then everyone is safe I guess

[vernal moth]

lol

[neon bramble]

For exactly this reason pal

[vernal moth]

thats not how that works

[ashen cliff]

Did you know, we had a huge production of sugar?
Probably not, because we made it almost illegal to produce, due to a deal with 🇭🇺.

[raven basin]

I don't think preventing civilians from purchasing guns prevents crime

when you can just illegally buy the guns

obviously stupid people can get guns if its legal

[neon bramble]

[vernal moth]

lets not go down that road, it has been discussed and proven enough, the US is just a lost cause in that regard (and many others I guess)

[raven basin]

Damn now that I think about it is the us one of the only major 1st world countrys where you can own guns

[neon bramble]

Oh why that might be?

[vernal moth]

and coincidently, has one of the highest death rates related to guns

[golden gust]

There are many countries where you can own guns

US isn't even the country with the highest gun/population figures iirc

[vernal moth]

but again, this topic ends now, he have talked about it on this discord often enough

[neon bramble]

coincidentally

Yeah ok

[vernal moth]

why am I the moderator today?

wheres jroy when u need him, smh

[neon bramble]

Because you don't have life

[golden gust]

Hey, mini

mini

mini

Moderate this

<buns.gif>

[neon bramble]

wen hangaaar

[vernal moth]

am actually kinda sick today

[raven basin]

Me too

[vernal moth]

but cba to get out of house to get tested

[neon bramble]

Go to the bed then

[raven basin]

I drank mold by accident

[vernal moth]

but I dont wanna loose my hangar streak

[neon bramble]

Typical American

[vernal moth]

need to finish something at work, guess ill sleep a bit and then get one page for hangar done

[raven basin]

Shit wrong sprite can

[golden gust]

oh god

[raven basin]

💀

[golden gust]

that reminds me of the days of living with my birth giver

Like, ngl, I kinda struggle with some aspects of stuff cos like, I'll go to make a cup of tea and do 20 chores while the kettle is boiling if am not duicing out

(Well, *while the cup is in the microwave)

[wet storm]

No politics talks about legallity of guns in general

[raven basin]

what reminds you of living with your birth giver

[golden gust]

but, like, whenever my birth givers would make us clean our rooms, we'd all bring down any like cutlery

for us boys it was generally a plate from earlier in the day and a few cups

my sister?

She brought down like half the kitchen

and whatever was growing inside of it

[neon bramble]

[raven basin]

I usally just leave a cup of water out to grow some amoebas for the added flavor

and nutritional value

have you ever seen what happens to almond milk if you leave it out

💀

its so disgusting

[golden gust]

To be fair

so is almond milk

[neon bramble]

[vernal moth]

my stuff sometimes rotts in the dishwasher when I don't turn it out since I wait till its full, but thats about it, lol

[raven basin]

depends what you get

the silk stuff

omg

that stuff is so nasty

[neon bramble]

Buy a smaller dishwasher

[raven basin]

then theres sometimes where I forget if my mom got milk or almond milk

[golden gust]

I do like the fact that table top dishwashers are much of a thing now

[vernal moth]

its already the smallest you can get

its 60cm not 90

[golden gust]

defo on the "to maybe buy one day" things

[raven basin]

Child labor

just hire a child to do it for you

[vernal moth]

well, I dont want a table top, I have a proper kitchen

[raven basin]

easy

[golden gust]

That's the one annoyance of being single is not having enough "output" to deal with stuff

[neon bramble]

Idk then just have more people in your flat

[golden gust]

Like, I don't produce too much trash, and so I often have to take bins out "early" and waste like a bit of space in a bag

or when you're basically just rinsing off plates all day because you don't eat enough to do like a full sink in one go

[neon bramble]

Just get one of those bins that have a filter in their lid

[raven basin]

Omg my cat scratches on my door all night

its the most annoying things ever

[neon bramble]

It rarely smells

[vernal moth]

the last time somebody did eat here repeatedly I ended throwing her out cause she annoyed me too much, lol

I really need to get back into dating tho, lol

[neon bramble]

Well then every time you have another half a liter of beer, take a new glass.

[vernal moth]

suggesting I use glasses for my beer

[neon bramble]

Oh no

Aren't you the drink up straight from the bottle guy?

[raven basin]

one time I accidently fermented some fruit juice

[neon bramble]

Yeah ofc you are

[raven basin]

wheres the lines of coke?

[golden gust]

bottle of fuel half deployed there

[vernal moth]

why would you not drink from the bottle?

[golden gust]

clearly not a real german

[vernal moth]

mmmh? they all empty

[neon bramble]

So you can turn on your dishwasher each night

[golden gust]

oh, it's just, resting on top

nvm

[neon bramble]

Btw good choice on headphones

[raven basin]

not really

wait

[vernal moth]

its like a thing that keeps it fresh a little longer, so not all co2 goes puff

[golden gust]

Shoulda got some beats

[raven basin]

are those the bose

🤡

I have beats

[neon bramble]

Nope

[raven basin]

and let me tell you

[vernal moth]

no I only buy good stuff, lol

[raven basin]

those mfs are so bad

[golden gust]

Bro

[raven basin]

I got em for christmas

[golden gust]

they come with a free chunk of metal!

[vernal moth]

those are my sonys, wh1000mx3 or whatever the fuck they called

[raven basin]

Mine broke in half

[vernal moth]

but I only use them for outside

[raven basin]

they still work just hanging by the wire

[vernal moth]

for inside I got my dt1990 pros

[neon bramble]

Yeah I have xm2's

[vernal moth]

they the real deal

[neon bramble]

They're nice

[raven basin]

good mainstream headphones

[golden gust]

My mate let me have one of her old pair of beats as my headphones went busted

[vernal moth]

like, the sonys where good, then I got the dt1990 pros and its just another world

[raven basin]

better audiophile headphones

[golden gust]

and, jesus fuck

[neon bramble]

How much were they?

[twin lagoon]

1990 pros based

[vernal moth]

the fuck do I know

[golden gust]

Like, some cheapo generic shitty bluetooth headphones I got off another mate which I repaired are like, muuuuch better

and bluetooth!

[vernal moth]

I just asked michael what the best headphones are and pressed order, lmao

[raven basin]

Beats are good if you are coming from the shitty ass dollar general type headphones

[neon bramble]

Oof they cost 500€

[vernal moth]

beats are too expensive for what they are

[twin lagoon]

but they look nice

and it sounds nice

[neon bramble]

That's out of my price range

By a lot

[golden gust]

I mean, thing is is that it's not like the headphone market is really a moving thing

[raven basin]

yes they are extremely overpriced with the product your buying the marketing and the advertising of the product not just the actual product

oops sorry ping

[vernal moth]

I paid 420 apparently

[golden gust]

Like, here and there you get the odd good cheaper products

[raven basin]

Yeah headphones arent getting better

[golden gust]

Like, I had a pair of in-ear dual drivers for like £20 and I miss those things like crazy

[wet storm]

Bruh, I prob have the same sonys with WH1000 blah blah blah I can't remeber how they called

[vernal moth]

buy cheap or buy good, but don't buy expensive

[raven basin]

headphones from the 90s are just as good if not better then newer headphones to day

[neon bramble]

It's 13000czk I have no idea how much euros is that

[vernal moth]

I disagree

[golden gust]

But, like, the top end headphones from the 80s are still top end headphones today

Just, they might not look the part

[vernal moth]

that I agree with

[neon bramble]

Except not at all

[vernal moth]

but there have def been advances

[golden gust]

Well, the cheaper stuff got better

[raven basin]

In terms of bluetooth and stuff noise cancelling but studio headphones

[golden gust]

But, then again, the cheaper stuff got even cheaper in terms of production costs 😄

[vernal moth]

studio headphones have differences too

[golden gust]

well, studio headphones are designed to be as flat as you wish you where

[raven basin]

thats a good thing

[golden gust]

as Gura would say

[vernal moth]

my beyerdynamics are handmade in germany

[golden gust]

Hydrodynamic headphones

[twin lagoon]

beyerdynamics are far from flat

[raven basin]

bass is like ketchup

after a while gets stale

[golden gust]

Yea, but, I doubt they're studios

and, well, they're a good quality brand

[raven basin]

if headphones are too bassy they sound so bad

[vernal moth]

beyerdynamic are THE studio headphones cat, lol

[twin lagoon]

you can find dt 770 or 990 pros literally everywhere

[golden gust]

Like, "They're in studios", or, "they're designed to be studios"

[vernal moth]

they are in every studio

just like my piano is on every stage, lmao

[golden gust]

https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/headphones/measurements/brands-a-i/dt990-pro-250ω/

[raven basin]

why do I have to agree that tacos are tasty in the eula 🤨

[golden gust]

I mean

am far from a audio nut

[raven basin]

if I disagree will I get banned

[golden gust]

bass in speakers is also fun

Like, especially headphones

part of why I loved having dual driver earphones is that you got both ends

[raven basin]

bro skullcandy headphones

[golden gust]

like, "shit, never heard that instrument before" experiences

[raven basin]

💀

[wet storm]

Tacos are tasty, that's everything you should know

[golden gust]

I mean

[raven basin]

skullcandy headphones have bass thats on a differnet level

different breed

[golden gust]

if you don't think that tacos are tasty, you probably live a very sad life and have more pressing issues to deal with than block game

[vernal moth]

lmao literally shit tier

[golden gust]

but

bro

THEY GOT A SKULL ON THEM!

[vernal moth]

they sound like if you got a crazy loud subwoofer, but in a different room

muddy as hell

[raven basin]

Their bass is so bad they are nice for the meme

[vernal moth]

they sound like when you are at the toilet in a club, not on the dance floor

[raven basin]

when you put em on your like wtf is this shit 😂

[vernal moth]

they are e-waste

[golden gust]

I mean

I hate the idea of like, some global body having the power to do it

[wet storm]

Btw, I am that person who have never eaten tacos in the entire life...

[golden gust]

But, could you imagine how much better the world would be if there was a body which charged companies which basically produced e-waste?

[vernal moth]

well, EU is kinda moving into that direction

[raven basin]

just ate some taco bell don't worry

if you can call taco bell tacos

[vernal moth]

if you produce something, you should be responsible for having ways to dispose it

[raven basin]

their meat tastes like dog food

tbh

[golden gust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHsR65IRW_8

[raven basin]

chipotle is good

their food is fresh

taco bell tastes like they literally use 3 month old meat

[golden gust]

Never had taco bell

I think that we have like a handful tops over here

[raven basin]

you should try it some day

[golden gust]

only time I've ever had tacos was when I made them at home or got one of those kit things

[raven basin]

taco bell is good at first

and then it tastes worse and worse

every time

its so gross

[vernal moth]

company got a taco truck once when our canteen was broken

[raven basin]

like why am I eating this

[vernal moth]

was some LA dude who lives here now

was good, guy was chill too, talked a bit

[foggy veldt]

I barely had Taco Bell because real tacos were always an option for cheaper

[vernal moth]

generally all chains suck

[foggy veldt]

There used to be a taco cart that only cost 75 cents a taco

[raven basin]

bro

how

[golden gust]

The ingredients aren't exactly expensive

[foggy veldt]

It was some retired guy who was just doing it for fun

[golden gust]

own a cart and theres no rent

Like, gotta pay some fees but it becomes a lot cheaper at scale

[foggy veldt]

He used to be around the schools after school, I don’t know if the school made him leave or if he just stopped doing it

[golden gust]

not to mention that they generally care about their product and so, they're probs be raking in transactions

[vernal moth]

we got a burger bus here, old US school bus with a kitchen and 2 tables, plus tables outside

some of the best burgers I ever ate

[golden gust]

Oh god

[vernal moth]

they opened a proper restaurant now tho

[golden gust]

our school used to have teachers which would go to the chippery down by a small row of shops and try to turn away all the students

was bloody stupid

[raven basin]

bro theres this substitute teacher at my school who has a body count in the double digits

and has a fraud charge

dont know how hes a teacher

💀

[neon bramble]

the US at it again

[raven basin]

He commited vehicular manslaughter

[vernal moth]

their restaurant looks sick

https://i.imgur.com/oG5MvLw.jpeg

[golden gust]

best story I have in school is either the time I let rip and sent everybody to the window choking their guts out or the time my brothers class drove a sub into the asylum

[vernal moth]

https://i.imgur.com/ZkjI7HR.jpeg

now I want a burger

fuck you guys

[raven basin]

U.S. schools are literally terrible

[foggy veldt]

That picture looks reminds me of beer, burgers, America, bull riding machine

[wet storm]

Fuck, I wanna eat

[raven basin]

our cars got searched by police officers

and one police officer

broke a spoiler off a kids car

not paying for it btw

[golden gust]

my high school literally closed down after I left

[foggy veldt]

The greenery kinda feels LA tho

[neon bramble]

so let's sum it up

• horrible medication
• horrible education
• gun situation
• a lot more
  Are you still asking why I'm happy that I don't live in the US?

[raven basin]

More freedom

[neon bramble]

I have all the freedom

[golden gust]

meanwhile in the UK my friend waited for like a full year to get a prescription

[raven basin]

No I have free speech

[neon bramble]

do you?

[raven basin]

Yes

[neon bramble]

Honestly, I think that the "free speech" situation is far worse in the US than in eastern europe lol

[foggy veldt]

even with all the bomb threats we had and fights (school shooting threats weren’t as common as they are now when I was in HS) I still enjoyed my time in US public school

[fallen oracle]

Cats school actually ran on gas and when he left, they ran out because no one would produce it like he would.

[neon bramble]

you know the cancel culture and stuff

[golden gust]

the government can't impede your speech

random companies don't need to give you a platform

[neon bramble]

neither in the europe

(most of the europe)

[vernal moth]

mfw we have a five guys here now

disgusting

[golden gust]

Archies ❤️

[foggy veldt]

Five guys is good ;-; except when they have extra grease, I feel like they sometimes just pour extra grease on your burger to get rid of it

[neon bramble]

we have kfc, mcdonalds, burger king and that's pretty much it as far as western food chains go

[raven basin]

No not really

[golden gust]

I mean, they're like, a burger restaurant who try to play american

[vernal moth]

I just buy from small shops

[golden gust]

and, somewhat overpriced, their fries are meh, but, their burgers are pretty damned good

Yea, I order from there like once every few months tops

[foggy veldt]

I like five guys because they overload on any toppings you ask for, so you never have too little toppings always too many and you can remove as much as you don’t want

[raven basin]

My school got a bomb threat once as well

p recently actually 3 months ago

[golden gust]

I generally go to like one of the local soutern fried joints cos am a chicken sloot

[neon bramble]

wow such a nice living in the US

and man

the freedom

yeahhh

let's gooo

[raven basin]

You realise thats a problem in the eu as well?

all people have to do is purchase a burner

[foggy veldt]

Well it’s not really freedom, you’d be arrested if you got caught making a fake bomb threat in the us as well

[raven basin]

its not easier in us or eu

[neon bramble]

is it? In my entire lifetime, we've (or my friends) have never received some x threat in school

[raven basin]

yeah what is this kid on about

[golden gust]

I've almost been stabbed like 3 times

[raven basin]

Luck bro?

[golden gust]

like, crime is not a US only thing

[neon bramble]

is it luck?

[raven basin]

This kid

[neon bramble]

[vernal moth]

ordered burger for later now

[raven basin]

yeah its like a 1 in 100 chance to get threatened

[vernal moth]

fuck you guys

[neon bramble]

that's pretty a lot lol

[golden gust]

just

[neon bramble]

mini you're going to be fat lol

[golden gust]

think about the juices flowing out as you bite into it

[foggy veldt]

I would Pog but I don’t have nitro

[raven basin]

no not really

most of the threats have no validity

[neon bramble]

maybe for the us

[wet storm]

I live in russia, situation was the same, but mcdonalds, kfc and other companies nowdays leave russia, so the only thing we'll have I guess is a shawarma

[vernal moth]

I like 3KG already this year, am fine, thank you

[raven basin]

what country you live in then?

[vernal moth]

15% bodyfat, I wanna get to 12 or so but thats work

[golden gust]

I mean

yes, it was the burgers which made us fat

not the "literally everything is sugar" thing

[neon bramble]

I've heard that uncle some name with suspicious logo is going to open soon there

[raven basin]

Im 30 pounds

[neon bramble]

We can see that

[raven basin]

you making fun of my weight>

?

[neon bramble]

no

[raven basin]

because I think you are

[golden gust]

I was losing weight, but then the pandemic happened and I was living with an immunocomproised friend so like

[neon bramble]

then continue thinking

[vernal moth]

some kid at my school threatened to shoot up my school with a crossbow, got a visit by police, escaped thru the bathroom window at the police station and jumped infront of a tram, that was rough
literally every single table at school had "<nickname> smells" ingraved, it was written on walls, etc, teachers didnt notice

[golden gust]

I've probs gone up a cup size

[neon bramble]

did he survive?

[vernal moth]

no, it was suicide

died on stop

[neon bramble]

I mean I can see that, but you can survive jumping in front of a tram

[raven basin]

at least people in the us actually get locked up

[neon bramble]

or killed in the process...

[raven basin]

look at sweden like no crime penalty

[vernal moth]

they had to search the bodyparts cause they went flying kyngs

[neon bramble]

well then

Nice story

[vernal moth]

it was not pretty

[neon bramble]

Depends on whether you are sadist or not

[golden gust]

I mean, incarceration is complex

But, that's a whole topic I'd get into trouble for

[raven basin]

I mean us is definetly not perfect but there is a lot of really good things about it other countries cant say the same for

[neon bramble]

for example?

[raven basin]

Military

security

[vernal moth]

anyways, to loose weight, just start to actually care about your diet, stop drinking literal poisons like soda, eat regularly and not too much and go for a walk regularly, if you can do sports once a week, if you keep that up for months you will loose weight and become healthier

[neon bramble]

yes

security

like in vietnam, or afghanistan

[vernal moth]

guys.

[raven basin]

can you stop

[golden gust]

Mini

I raise you

[neon bramble]

yeah, I don't do a single of these, I can see why I'm a fat fuck

[golden gust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hNiofsR8XU

[raven basin]

this is straight up xenophobia rn

[neon bramble]

yes xenophobia

ofc

[raven basin]

look up the definition

dude

[vernal moth]

I was 110kg a few years ago, now am 72kg

you can change

[neon bramble]

I can

Will I?

[raven basin]

you also failed to tell me what country you live in

[vernal moth]

well, lemme tell you, its worth it, lmao

lemme get an old selfie

[neon bramble]

"is the fear or hatred of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange"
I don't fear US, I feel sorry for them

[neon bramble]

Ikr

how tall are you?

[vernal moth]

185cm or smth

[neon bramble]

oh lol

I am like 175cm, 95kg

so pretty much the same as you were before

[raven basin]

having or showing a dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries.
wrong definition

[neon bramble]

[raven basin]

also tell me your country

[neon bramble]

the slavic peak: Czech Republic

[golden gust]

slavic peak

[neon bramble]

it is

[golden gust]

The only thing going for y'all is the bone church and the fact that you say hello like pirates

oh, and

do prdele

[neon bramble]

" bone church " excuse me

[golden gust]

(I forgot that that means, and the correct accents thing)

[wet storm]

Wut

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedlec_Ossuary

[neon bramble]

Oh I see

[raven basin]

Bone church 💀

[neon bramble]

this one

[foggy veldt]

I don’t hate living in the us but I’m also not patriotic enough to be hell bent on defending it on some random Internet forum either

[neon bramble]

Debating politics on a discord server for a block game

[vernal moth]
