“Victoria was made up by a dude.”
I recently discovered the song by Jax.

Cabeza2000@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How can I help someone with a gambling problem?8·2 years agoCheck if your country has a Gambling Support hotline and then hand the number to N. They will give proper advice.
Cabeza2000@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You can remove *any* film from your memory. What do you pick and why?2·2 years agoJohnny Got His Gun (1971).
I could not finish this disturbing movie, and I would be happy to forget it.
Cabeza2000@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the underrated website you have visited that not much people knows about?15·2 years agoI used it in the past but it stopped working for some sites.
I prefer to use archive.ph now.

Be careful what you fish for.

This sounds nightmarish. People will start avoiding the portable toilets and it will be even worse.
Cabeza2000@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who are you always going to be rude to and why?11·2 years agoNon-American here.
I have lived in three different countries and solicitors are extremely rare. And in the few cases one ringed my door it was for charity or school kids collecting donations for some summer trip (not sure if this is called soliciting or not).
Is that bad in America that you need to put a sign at your door? How frequent they visit?

Cabeza2000@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?62·2 years agoLook for the movie Zeitgeist (free on YouTube) to understand how banks are able to lend money even if they don’t have it.
In a nutshell, they are able to lend multiple times the money they hold from depositing clients.
So for example. If a bank has $100m (clients deposits) they may be allowed, by law, to lend 10 times that amount… Even if they don’t have the money anywhere, the central bank in their country will facilitate that money to the bank. There is much more to this mechanic but this is the core of how the banks work all around the world.
I’m just a little bit late to the Baldurs Gate 3 party,
Late? As a patient gamer I would say you got in early. :)
I played most of the mainstream CRPG, including multiple Larian Studios titles and I have no doubt that I will play BG3 as well… But probably in a year or two after the game gets some polish and, hopefully, a discount.
BTW, thanks for posting and generating content in Lemmy.

Cabeza2000@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some hints that a conversation will be boring?101·2 years agoAsking about the weather is a standard opening conversation in some countries, mainly British or countries formerly British. Is a cultural thing.
In other cultures is not that common and in some cultures is very uncommon. For example, as a south American, it is strange for people to start a conversation about the weather.

Cabeza2000@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some notable blunders in history that resulted in huge loss?1·2 years agoIt was $50 in 2021.
The CEO stepped down 4 days ago when the stock was at $15, as a consequence it lost one third of its value and is now at $10.

Cabeza2000@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Letters from the lawyers: Musk threatens CCDH with brazen attempt to silence honest criticism. — Center for Countering Digital Hate | CCDHEnglish11·2 years agoI read them in reverse order and indeed the answer is amazing.
As for the letter from Twitter lawyer (Spiro), it does look as it was written by someone without knowledge on the subject… I read Spiro Wikipedia page, and apparently, he is described as a quite successful lawyer, so my best guess is that some low level associate wrote it and Spiro only signed.
Cabeza2000@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•US judge tightens Sam Bankman-Fried's bail, will consider jailing himEnglish7·2 years agoSo he posted $250m bail and is still considered a flight risk?
I tough the whole idea of posting such a huge bail was to avoid pre-trial jail time.
I can’t imagine an scenario where BG3 doesn’t win the GOTY.
