It’s wild to me that some people have space for a grand piano in their house! I don’t think it would fit in any room we have. Heck, it wouldn’t even fit through the door to get it inside in the first place.

Whatever you do, don’t tell this person about macOS.

To be fair, it’s not a great test. I’ve worked in customer support before and if we deviated from the prewritten, legal-approved script we’d get disciplined for putting the company at risk. That’s what you get in a world where people threaten lawsuits at the drop of a hat.

(That said, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Uber have replaced all their support staff with AI.)

7-4 BC? So 3 BC?

I’ve been here for 3 years and didn’t know about this. Thanks!

An eloquent description of everything I hate about social media (yes, including the fediverse).

Most people don’t actually want a discussion, they just want to be told they’re right.

Congratulations, you’re a hipster!

That’s not where the term axis came from.

There’s a big cultural difference between Curb and Partridge - cringe isn’t universal!

Specifically, Larry in Curb has a distinctly American sense of individualism. He does what he wants and doesn’t care if someone doesn’t like him for it. The cringe comes from his attempts to enforce his own set of unwritten social values on others.

Alan Partridge is the exact opposite - fundamentally insecure and desperate for approval. His cringe comes from lack of self-awareness and trying to fake social status, which is painfully obvious to a British audience with our deeply ingrained sense of class.

Ultimately, taste is taste, but I think that goes some way towards explaining why some people like one or the other but not both.
