If I took a shot every time someone said “language evolves” on Lemmy, I’d be fucking dead.

I don’t think you could get the speakers of all the European languages to agree on which one is normal.

I’d grin and bear it to be honest. Perhaps try and look at it like time you won’t be spending money on utilities to warm your house and stuff like that. For perspective, though, I prefer going out to work rather than working from home, and my commute takes just over an hour each way four days a week.

You should clarify that you have to use a particular kind of bleach heavily diluted, and that it’s only common practice in the Americas.

What’s HEMA if not the Dutch department store?

I thought it was in the morning.

That is daft, but it does tickle me when someone’s ringtone is set to that “warning! It’s the wife!” one.

Well, I don’t agree that making an offensive joke is necessarily being an arsehole, but I suppose you are right in principle.

Now he’s Sitting Straight, I suppose. Sorry, that’s in awful taste.

That’s a real twat of a hole.

Can’t you stick some material over the lights to dim them? Or is that illegal?

A few weeks ago, I was going down some stairs at a train station. I’m one of those people who always climbs stairs two at a time, just can’t help myself. I saw this one fella going downstairs two at a time. I gaped at him like he was the master of my craft.

That’ll show him!

Can you give an example? Because I’ve just looked at Luxembourg, Nepal, and Aruba, and they’re all littered with named buildings and landmarks. Pyongyang even has a fair bit filled in.

My mum’s got a great anecdote about how the doctor came around about my cough when I was a newborn, and he came into a room full of local mums all fawning over me in my cot and chugging away.

If we ditched the daft names?

I have a very sensitive nose too, described as that of a dog by my sister, and it’s not that people not using shampoo smell worse, it’s that they smell of sebum and pheromones and all that stuff, which I don’t mind. I smell more like an animal, and I love animals.

A few years ago I had to stay inside a lot, so I tried showering without soap on my body too, and it does seem to work better for longer than using soap, but it’s less convenient and sort of less reliable I find, so I use soap again on the three key areas. My hair though, I just use water to wash. My girlfriend tried to argue with me once that I needed shampoo and she just looked it up briefly and said “I was wrong!”

You’ve saved me a good chunk of typing, thank you.

Oi, I said you don’t need shampoo or conditioner, not that you don’t need to wash your hair.
