President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva went on to veto several parts of the bill, but the conservative-dominated congress overrode his veto by a wide margin earlier in December.

Very cool of you to do this! I would love to check out Uncharted, I’ve never played it.

My happy/hopeful story is that the company I work for is looking pretty good for next year and this year was already pretty good. So I’m looking forward to the new year!

Luckily I’m already out of the country but I don’t think will go well if that happens.

Every now and then I have to remind myself that America was founded by religious nutjobs and colonized by industrialists.

Aaaaand this is why I didn’t move my podcasts to Google Podcasts.

The headline made me think the dev gave up on his huge Skyrim mod set and said Skyrim is trash.

You’ve heard of weather? Or doing things other than babysitting a hit smoking pit for 16 hours?

There’s many, many good reasons to live in the EU, fam.

That’s not misreading, that’s miswriting!

Where consumers and employees have rights.

Interestingly, British Summer Time is used for 7 months of the year and GMT is used for 5 months. We just changed clocks this morning.

Thank you!

The water also won’t flow when the pipes have been bombed into scrap.

A dark elf (drow) actually, but I totally agree it’s the most ridiculous example of episode deletion.

Late, but 10/10 is my birthday - since I was born in Europe, raised in the US and now live in the UK, I’ve never had a problem writing my birthday correctly!

Because of nasty landlords happy to evict people or raise rents, Reddit and now Lemmy are full of people saying all landlords are awful morlocks feeding off the pain of everyone. Like everything else nowadays there’s no middle ground in the common arguments either way. Landlords evil, renters saints.

I have used Samsung since the first Galaxy S I think and didn’t understand the bloat everyone is talking about until I remembered I’ve used the Nova launcher for nearly all of them. You can also remove the Samsung apps if you want.

I get a lot of value out of Netflix, I watch tons of their shows every month.

I use Prime quite a bit also obviously for Amazon shopping and try to watch Prime Video a few times each month, and now they’ve expanded the music I’ll try that too.

I will be canceling Disney and just pirate what I want to see, which isn’t much, literally just one show.

E: I canceled Spotify ages ago and use their free version but for my favorite bands I downloaded their MP3 discographies. I buy their music on CD because it pays them better than streaming their songs thousands of times, plus I buy merch and go to the concerts so I’m OK with that.

E2: someone mentioned Patreon, I cancelled most of those as well because my gaming group broke up and all my patreons are for gaming 3D files. I have years worth of stuff to print and will never reach the end.

Oh, great find!

Just curious, but is your job or industry that much in demand that you know you can get a job the next day if your company were to burn to the ground?

I’ve lived in the UK for nearly 20 years and see no benefit to having the beans anywhere near a full English plate.
