I'll be waiting for the Tinfoil discount.

I honestly don't see this changing any time soon because there are biological incentives behind both stereotypes. And, anecdotally, my gf (40+) will pout if in some context I refer to her as a woman, and be like "noooo, I'm a girl... :(". Semi-jokingly, of course, but only semi.

Stereotypically, women always strive to look as young as possible, so calling one a girl can be seen as a compliment. While men, stereotypically strive to appear mature, hence calling one a boy can be considered an insult.

I remember this joke usually involving eggs. But I suppose that had to be changed, for reasons.

Then I misunderstood and was thinking of a different adjustment of the head. The one I was thinking about us when you wedge the screwdriver behind the head and bend it otwards a little for better contact. For that you need a flat tool.

Don't you use a flathead for that?

"Iela" means "street" in Latvian, so yeah.

Speaking of, my favorite street in Riga is Lielā iela. If for nothing else, then just for how that name sounds. But also "lielā" (feminine of "liels") means "big", but Lielā iela ("Big Street") is tiny, just one car wide (for the most part) and is barely even visible on the map.

That's how Google always worked, btw. But there is one obvious benefit to showing the original URL before you click it, you can hover it to see where the link actually leads before they hijack the click.

How can one be chronologically disappointed? Did you mean "chronically"?

I have 1GB/m and rarely use half of it. I just don't watch YT when I'm outside. And it's plenty for looking at beans on Lemmy.
