Alas, there is no Washington, Washington.
However, there *is* a George, Washington.

As long as it's not in meetings, I guess 😂
@RandomPancake Okay, but the flip side is how long said person can survive in that environment. I lasted two months. 😂
And it wasn't things like no coffee or the "water clubs," it was things like an inept manager, the nonsensical tasks, the sheer inability to get any resources, the butting heads with hoardy other teams, and the best part, the manager's brain-numbingly boring meetings where she simply read from her own badly made powerpoints that put me to sleep.
So it ain't for everyone :)
Server editing posts... it's just not cool
In my experience, civil sector jobs suffer greatly from the Peter Principle. Aside from bennies and pension, perks are shit (coffee? water? buy your own). And departments are heavily balkanized and have SERIOUSLY obsessive control freak issues. That's before you get into the arcane paperwork. Oh, and in many cases, the general public is so anal about spending money that you should consider yourself lucky if you have a work party of any kind.
You wanna hear mopey shit, come back to yourself after your election.
I've run for office, and I don't plan on ever doing it again. Unless you're already famous or have a huge local support network with lots of free time, stay home and save your money and time and sanity.
I'm pretty sure it's lemmy.ml itself that is doing it.
And honestly, that's *a really bad thing*
@ObviouslyNotBanana Oh, well, it was, but it hadn't reached "we're fucked" levels yet. It was still in the "we can stop this" stage. Again, this kind of got fucked up post-2000.
Eh. It didn't really start going to shit until 2001. Things stayed pretty darn good after 92. Not a lot of decades with that track record.
I mean, in the 90s we bitched about mostly distant global things because things were pretty good in general for most. And we had time to worry about less-catastrophic domestic things like Mumia or Peltier or what have you.
Now things aren't so good and we end up bitching about far more local things because things around us are so bad.
It's a great trick
I can't say that US chocolate smells/tastes particularly like vomit to me (a USan), but I do note that UK chocolate to me has a certain vaguely artificial-fat hint to it, like a sweet industrial solvent like percoethylene or something.
I'm sure this is far more to do with "the way in which your chocolate tastes different and what it reminds me of" rather than anything actually bad in either of them
I'm told there are plenty of people in UK who enjoy US chocolate, but they're probably gammon.
Similarly, Korean transliterations of L and R use the same jamo, ᄅ. In actual use the character is pronounced like either English letter depending on where in the word it is.

I would imagine in UK it never says PC Load Letter but PC Load A4
And presumably some places that use 8.5''x14'' a lot have seen PC Load Legal
