Not to be a jerk, but you're making up a lot of reasons why you cannot do something. it's your choice, but the results will also be yours.

TIL

Truncated graphs. I hate them but they are so often (ab)used, even in professional situations.

For sure. Which is not a bad thing at all BTW. So many good interactions on Lemmy.

Not sure if intended as a joke, but if so, haha.

Fair, the French will just curse at you in French and look angry.

This is true. But the general rule of thumb is that the farther you are away from a big city, the worse the understanding of English will get.

Try speaking English in a rural Dutch town and you will get hilariously broken English. There's a famous book about it - Make that the cat wise. Full of literal translations that make 0 sense.

Shower first, then bathe & relax.

Shaking the towel is not weird IMO. I do that always because sometimes those dryer lint balls stick to laundry. I'd hate to get that on my wet body.

The body spray, I put on deodorant before sleeping to keep my pits fresh since I shower before bed. Works wonders!

O my god. This is so relatable. I was 14 or so when a girl in my class told me I need contact lenses because I couldn't read the school board unless I sat in the front (spoiler, I sat in the back).

And I was like nahh. Then I got a checkup and I was already at like -2. Then I wore lenses for years and I absolutely hated them. They stick to my eyes. Then only at like 18 I got glasses (not cool to teenage me) and I never switched back.

Maybe they should give children check ups, at least once in their life lol.

That does sound a bit one sided. If you ever (want) to learn how to cook, you'd be amazed what you can do with vegetables, other than boiling them. Those can be truly inspirational and unique. Will be tough to sell to your family though haha.

Interesting, in NL frikadellen are more like ground-up-meat long sausages.
