  It’s definitely a home made and personal distinction but basically for me pop-punk is reserved for the ones I don’t like haha. It has a negative side so I needed another term for the (admittedly) pop punk bands that I do like. Again you’re probably right, that’s just the way I do it internally. And I just use it to describe the sound, Millencollin for example is Swedish. Also there’s bands like bad religion that still kinda have that sound but I wouldn’t dare classify them under “pop”, I’m sure NOFX would take an issue with it too, etc.

  I’ve never stopped listening to “Cali punk” so I’m good to go (I don’t care if green day is really from California or not, that’s what I call the happy poppy punk that’s not crusty enough to be called punk without a qualifier: NOFX, Offspring, Blink 182, Millencollin, etc etc).

  I love that one. I’m right in thinking it’s specifically tap water, right? (As in the water provided by the council, you wouldn’t use it for Evian or whatever).

  Or watched jackass.

  I’ve seen that a bit in southern France. Seemed to work great, the lot was nice and fresh even in the scorching heat.

  Good eye!

  When’s the last time of these sky rats swung someone into a wall though. I’d say that counts for at least 5 chips.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes it’s the right long term goal, but the US is nowhere near ready for strong nationalised enterprises, they would just stop getting funding and die. There is a requirement for strong, positive minded government and a shared understanding of the benefits of having nationalised societal services before it can work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do some people put a space before a question mark or exclamation point?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the point virgule depends if you’re from France or Québec. I learned it with no space before it and seems this table confirms that. This similar one from a Quebec source seems to be saying you can do either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah not at all tbh, you can get very smooth deceleration with it and it doesn’t feel floaty or whatever, it does take a tiny adjustment to how you drive, you don’t coast anymore but rather you can finely control your deceleration by how much you lift the accelerator, it’s quite nice to be honest I always drive it in that mode (even if it’s not real one pedal).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think some cars also turn on the hazards automatically if you really hammer the breaks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah my electric 208 is kinda like that (if I remember the video well, watched it a while ago) but since it’s Europe there actually is a regulation about how much a car can decelerate before break lights come on, so instead of making the system turn the lights on they throttle how much it can decelerate for recharge and still makes you use the break to use full regen (and eventually the actual brakes, of course). So it’s not a real “one pedal driving”.

  It shows me having given a ton of downvotes I didn’t give, on comments I only read and didn’t up or down-vote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are too young you really missed out being able to do this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just mean that in normal life, how often do you really get mad enough at someone that you hang up on them? I can probably count that on one hand and I’m more exactly a youngun either. In movies it feels like every other phone call ended that way haha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LinkedIn lays off 281 workers in California, including many Bay Area engineers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is particularly painful for all these middle-men companies like booking.com, eBay/equivalents, Uber, etc etc. So much wasted resources that is literally only there to extract as much as they can from transactions between two other parties, really all that’s needed from these services is a functioning platform, something 3 motivated engineers could probably maintain (exaggerating for effect).

  All this stuff should be either open source or nationalised.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are too young you really missed out being able to do this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like this was more one of these movie things that don’t happen nearly as often in real life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The city is so lively⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a non-parisian French I’ve hated it my whole life but even I need to admit I’m recent years it’s been transforming for the better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to have too much?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No such thing as too much butter.

  • France
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fediverse Social Media Guide⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That very much depends on whether they’re a Parisian or not. Though even if they’re Parisian it’s still 50/50.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[China Technology] I drove the cheap Chinese cars that are illegal in the USA. Now I know why [36:49 | MAR 10 2025 | Rich Rebuilds]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly assumed it meant range as a translation since I often hear people mean that as it’s the number 1 thing everyone asks/talks about. I’m in Europe and km countries say “consumption” or whatever local language equivalent (for the countries I know). The Brits say mileage. Whether it’s electricity or gas shouldn’t matter when talking about mileage though right, just a straight swap?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[China Technology] I drove the cheap Chinese cars that are illegal in the USA. Now I know why [36:49 | MAR 10 2025 | Rich Rebuilds]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For EVs you can say range instead of mileage.

  That kind of temperature can literally be deadly, depending on humidity (wet bulb temperature).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At the end of the day it’s all of it. Some of it is built into their existing model, some of it is constant etc but they include it all in the calculations to come up with the prices. New costs like these tariffs get added to the overall margin calculation and a new price is set.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a businessman, I do business⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love that this meme has its own website, so professional, so fitting to the topic at hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better than last time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In some Dutch cities they mix in some ladies. You can tell they’re ladies because they have a skirt and a ponytail. So it’s still stereotypical but at least they’re trying I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bunnies love it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I appreciate that it’s placed on the original meme background.
