While it was something similar for me, evidence/proof for something supernatural makes it not supernatural anymore.

Dude, I have just ditched Sync because it got abandoned, and moved to Boost a few weeks ago. Don't scare me : ). (They had been busy, but they are working on an update).

"Hungary would be a better place if you didn't beat out the fuse, but each other's" - or "Hungary would be a better place if you'd beat each other's instead of the fuse".

By the way, OP accidentally overlooked the country/place translation, but I'm 100% sure they know, otherwise.

Boring explanation in the spoiler box:

spoiler

To jack off = to beat (it) out/off in Hungarian. E.g. "I beat out/off my dick to this picture of a daisy".

To blow the fuse (...box?) = to beat out/off the fuse in Hungarian. Beat might not be the best translation, and it could be closer to 'slam' or 'pop' or something, but we use the same word ('ver' / 'beat') in both cases.

We also use the term 'blow the fuse' when talking about having enough of something that grinds your gears. Like, "I could still tolerate that ignorant knob, but when he started talking about all the doctors of the world conspiring, that blew the fuse for me. ('beat out/off the fuse for me')" - kind of when you lose it.

Hungary bans Pride events and plans to use facial recognition to target attenders in c/[email protected]

Despite the 2/3 majority in parliament, the actual vote head counts were closer to a 45/55 (or 48/52, depending on the source) at the last few elections. This is due to severe gerrymandering, excessive propaganda, oppressing opposition and independent media outlets, and intentionally cutting education funds.

But I'm also both saddened and infuriated by the fact that while it's not the majority, still, HALF of the fucking country still supports this vile, hateful, corrupt, literally evil government.

I guess there's no hope for the country, and it will soon devolve into another Belarus.

Aaaah, I get it now, thanks! I did see the “↑ 4” bits everywhere, but it turns out that every single comment I have looked at had 0 downvotes, and then instead of going ”↓ 0”, it just simply doesn't display downvotes. I thought I was going mad.

I liked the previous implementation, though. To me it seemed more clear.

I might be a bit confused, but I just went to my settings to see, and both "show upvotes" and "show downvotes" were ticked already, by default. I refreshed the page (Ctr+Shift+R), and it's still the same.

This has just happened to me for at least the 3rd time in one year. I cancelled the things I planned for today only to be at home for the delivery; I was sat at home all day and heard nothing. Then, around 2PM I found a red slip saying I should contact Royal Mail for a redelivery (I was at work yesterday when they first ~~tried~~ left a red slip). Obviously my only other day off is tomorrow (Wednesday), and the earliest they allow me to schedule it for is Thursday, so the earliest I can TRY to receive it is an entire week from now. Alternatively, I could have it redelivered to the post office near me, which closes before I could get back from work (EDIT: it ALSO opens after I have to leave for work, therefore completely useless for picking up stuff that arrives on my working day). This is super infuriating now.

Once I even found 2 red slips with different dates in my post box, even though it was empty the night before.

What's going on when this happens?

UPDATE:

So this morning, as a night owl, I decided to make a sacrifice and took an early train to the delivery office (which is open between 8AM and 10AM, but I get it, otherwise the parcels are en route during the day). I asked the guy at the window about it, being fully aware that he might or might not be part of the actual delivery process; not blaming, not interrogating, just simply asking if he knows what the heck is going on.

Yupp, he confirmed what everyone has been commenting about, lol. He didn't have anything other in mind, apart from the afternoon delivery guy cutting corners. I can still imagine it's because they are loaded with work (it happens to be the case at my job) and it's literally impossible to make everyone happy, but management refuses to pay more people. Or he's just lazy. I don't know, but the bottom line is, it wasn't because of some technical nuance, bureaucracy, barometric pressure change in the stratosphere or God knows what. Most likely, he had the parcel but decided to bring the red slip only.

My trust in humanity is in the negatives.

On a slightly more serious note: I really wonder what's going on in your mind when you press that button and cross anyway. Is it just because "I don't care", or is there more to it? If so: what?

EDIT: In case it's because you don't care: why do you press the button then?
