I don't think that's true at all. Your middle class percentage is tiny compared to most of Europe, and while you also earn a bit more, that money goes to a much stronger social safety net in most of Europe, too (at least in our more successful countries).

I would also wager that middle class workers are more comfortable here, because of guaranteed 5-7 weeks holiday, 37 hour work weeks (for the vast majority), guaranteed parental leave, and just generally a very unionized job market.

Why is your name red?

The free rental services are usually from big department stores like Ikea or storage warehouses, and it's not always free, but like 5-20$.

Anyway, if you have a truck you most likely also have somewhere to park a trailer. So having a normal car and using the trailer a few times per year would still greatly outweigh the costs and emissions, as I see it.

Our cars are also at least 2-3x more expensive here, depending on its emissions, so that matters I guess.

Or you use a trailer. Everyone knows someone with a trailer, or, at least where I live, you can rent one for a few hours for free.

When I first started out with Linux, I went full ricemode with Arch. For a while I tried running without X, using tmux heavily and browsing with lynx, only starting a specific X server for games.

You can definitely do it, but especially web browsing is not really feasible. There are tons of curses-like applications like mutt and irssi that work really well, but alas, I ended up going back to i3.

Still heavily riced, though, using Vim hotkeys wherever possible. For browsing, qutebrowser is fucking sweet!

I don't think you have to be goth to like goth chicks

My point is that words are part of languages which change very fluidly, and you could make the same argument for hundreds of other words.

If the word isn't considered bad by anyone hearing it or anyone it describes, nothing is wrong with it. Many meanings are different between your language and mine, even though they sound alike or share some etymology.

I genuinely have multiple friends who use that word about themselves. It isn't negative unless people perceive so.

That must be it

Just a language thing, sorry. In my country this word does not have any negative connotation.

I just think it's more considerate to remove English so thousands of people don't have to block it :)

I rest my case

 

It pops up on English speaking clients. This is not a bilingual community, despite what the sidebar claims. Even the rules are in French..

Proof: the French hate English and nobody speaks it

 

I like doing coke sometimes, but it can be a bothersome process to pour from a baggie, cut it up, and needing to roll some paper or have a straw. Especially if you're out.

It's there a quicker or more convenient method? I've heard of tiny bottles with 1 hit doses, nasal sprays, even pressurized solutions.

What do you recommend? This could of course extend to other substances as well.
